Vanessa Lachey broke down in tears while discussing how therapy helped her become a better partner to husband Nick Lachey. The emotional display came during season 2, episode 6 (“The Changeover”) of Netflix’s “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On”, when the show’s co-host shared with the four remaining couples why it’s so important for a relationship to not only lean on your partner but also trust them.

The “NCIS: Hawaii” star and her husband were intently listening to Riah explain why she didn’t get the full trial marriage experience with James, who ultimately revealed he couldn’t give it his all because he didn’t know how to be vulnerable and be open about a painful childhood experience that spilled over into his young adult life.

After he apologized to her, Riah told James she knows he’s been through a lot, but that if he were to one day let go of that experience or at least be open about it with his partner, he’d be an amazing person.

It’s right after that when Vanessa opened up about how therapy allowed her to not only learn more about her husband, but also trust him with issues hindering their relationship. “Nick and I have been together for 16 years and we know each other — married for 11 — but it’s so funny that for some reason we don’t learn more about each other until we’re in a therapy session,” she shared. “You don’t need to go into this, but it messes with your relationship.” At this point, Vanessa starts fighting back tears. “And the reason why I’m choking up is because I’ve had to get through so much s**t to be the best woman for him.
