90 Day Fiance star Natalie Mordovtseva has revealed she dumped and left Mike Youngquist "abruptly and permanently" because their marriage had apparently reached the point where he was annoying her.

Mike's Uncle Beau Lawrence said in March that Mike and Natalie had recently separated, and he gushed in early May about how he and Mike were having fun together now that they're both single, In Touch Weekly reported.

90 Day Fiance Instagrammer John Yates subsequently reported on June 2 that an eyewitness had spotted Mike on a nature hike with "a lean, thin girl with blonde hair" that wasn't Natalie.
While 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s currently-airing sixth season has shown Mike and Natalie arguing pretty frequently, fans have had no insight into what caused Natalie and Mike's official breakup -- until now.

Natalie, who married Mike in Clallam County, Washington on April 15, 2020, took to Instagram on Sunday and posted a lengthy message to her followers with the title, "Sunsets Are Not Promised For Two."
"I am romantic and a dreamer. Alas, my castles in the air are not commensurate with reality. I believe that you need to be with a person exactly as long as you love -- as soon as you understand that he annoys you, it is better to part friends and end the relationship. Which I did," Natalie captioned a modeling photo of herself with a cat as well as a picture of a sunset.
"I ended my relationship abruptly and permanently."
Natalie revealed she had left Mike's home and their relationship "for nowhere."
"I didn't really think about what society and family would say. I just understood it was impossible for me to be there, and the love that lifted me yesterday is destroying me today," Natalie explained.

"I don't understand how you can kiss a man if you don't want him anymore; if everything within your soul has cooled to the point you feel nothing when he looks at you."

Natalie wrote that "everything should be delightful" in a relationship, which should include "tasty conversations, and exchanges of energy and humor, and divine secrets, only for the two of you, through contact of inner worlds."
"Relationships should be a beautiful game that you want to play, and not a burdensome errand to pull, simply for convenience' sake," Natalie continued in her Sunday Instagram post.
"If you have become for each other something like a family -- it's a pity to throw it away. Pushing problems behind you is not convenient. If you don't want to meet your golden years old age with a painful feeling of regret, you cannot become complacent."

Natalie went on to compare a relationship to a "nine-course meal."
"You certainly never want to say: 'I'm forced, used to it, comfortable.' We live as we choose. I can't stand everyday life, in all its manifestations; I just can't stand it. For me, every day is like a miracle, and my world is very emotional and creative, there is no place for routine in it," Natalie shared.
The reality TV star concluded her post by offering her followers some advice.
"I sincerely believe if you feel bad today, you need to change something. Why meet a beautiful sunset with unfulfilled dreams, hopes or wishes? Every moment of life is a gift, and is no sunset is promised #sunset #story #ladyandacat," the Ukraine native wrote.
There is no trace of Natalie on Mike's Instagram account and vice versa, and Beau told In Touch in March that Natalie had not been home at Mike's house "for a couple of months" already.

"She can stay away for all I care," Beau added. "I'm really hoping [their relationship] is over. I pray to God, yes."
Natalie appeared to confirm her split from Mike on April 27, 2021 by sharing a link on Instagram Stories asking her followers to vote her onto the cover of Maxim magazine, In Touch reported.

In the original biographical information she posted on her voting page, Natalie hinted at her breakup with Mike by listing herself as a cast member of 90 Day: The Single Life, the new 90 Day Fiance spinoff which features single or divorced former 90 Day Fiance stars searching for love and navigating post-relationship life.
Although the 90 Day: The Single Life mention has been deleted, it appears Natalie may have signed on to an as-of-yet unannounced second season of the new spinoff.
Beau and Mike have since been enjoying steak feasts and bonfires, and Mike has posted many Instagram photos with his beloved Husky dog. Meanwhile, Natalie underwent plastic surgery in Florida and some of her followers have speculated she is still living there.
The latest episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth season showed Mike and Natalie shouting at each other over how Natalie had treated his mother, Trish, during a trip to Oklahoma for a family Thanksgiving.
Natalie accused Trish of calling her "a hooker," but Mike insisted there must have been a misunderstanding or some miscommunication.
Natalie told Mike that Trish basically didn't raise her son in the good and proper way, and Mike heard he's a bad child and Trish is a bad mom out of that, which really upset and frustrated him.
Mike yelled at Natalie to stop putting Trish down and "saying stupid sh-t," but Natalie argued that she was going to continue to fight for what she wants out of life, including her career.
Mike said that Natalie didn't listen to anyone and she stepped all over everyone, including himself. Natalie argued, however, she wasn't about to step over her "morals." Mike said Natalie disrespecting his mother was simply "uncalled for" and that's all there was to it.
