Family Reunion Trust: Will Leah Let Down Her Guard With Boyfriend Jaylan?

Leah's "cool and kind" new beau Jaylan officially joined the family reunion. Yet before the teen mom 2's boyfriend arrived, Leah confessed to Coach B that her guard was up to receive love and she had difficulty trusting others because of her past. Specifically, her father was absent and she moved also rapidly in failed relationships.


Coach B detected that Leah was not genuinely initial up because she deflected any time if she discussed about her dad. Nevertheless Leah finally tore down the walls and "let it out."


"I know I can take care of me and my kids; they are going to never have to worry about anything like that," Leah sobbed. "I wish to be loved also, the same way I love other people. I just have a hard time accepting it whenever it happens."


Leah's "heart was happy" whenever she saw Jaylan, and Cheyenne and Ashley speedily asked Jaylan important questions about his intentions.

Distance -- she is in West Virginia, whenever he is in Georgia -- also played a factor in their inability to move (pun intended) forward.


The next day, the two went out for a meal, and Leah was able to communicate her struggles effectively.


"I'm not just guarded in romantic relationships; I think it's with each person she told Jaylan. "Like trusting people and knowing that I'm not going to get burned. It's sad; it shouldn't be like that."
