Heather Altman Hits Breaking Point with Josh: "Do You Want to Raise Your Children on Your Own?"
On the MDLLA Season 15 finale, Heather Altman came to the realization that if she took on any more work, she'd break.
Heather Altman has finally had enough — and she made it known in the Season 15 finale of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.
While discussing how getting to the opening of the Altman Brothers' Orange County office was “almost the death” of her on Episode 10 (which aired September 11), Heather shared some insight into her relationship with Josh Altman.
“I feel like I’m going crazy. I’ve been telling Josh, ‘I need you to help me a little bit when we’re at home,' because he’s so used to me doing everything. He’s not hearing me because he’s business partner Josh, not husband Josh," Heather told Tracy Tutor. "I just need more support and he’s not there.”
“I put in all this energy and time and at this point in our marriage, it’s just husband-to-wife validation that I’m looking for," she added.
After Tracy told Heather that if she continues on like this she’ll break, Heather noted that she already told Josh that. As she put it, “I said, ‘Do you want to raise your children on your own?’"
Josh Altman and Heather Altman's marriage troubles
Josh and Heather's marital issues were at the forefront throughout Season 15 of MDLLA.
In another conversation with Tracy that took place during Episode 7, Heather explained that Josh's ambition (he's a self-admitted "workaholic") had gotten in the way of their relationship — and her mental health.
"It's tough on the marriage and it's tough on the kids," she noted during a confessional. "But Josh isn't going to stop until he proves to everyone that he's number one. Which is what I love most about him, but it also may kill me at the same time."
Later, after seeing the couple's dynamic in action during Episode 8, Heather Dubrow gave Heather Altman a warning.
"Do not take a page out of my book, because what happens is [the men] never do anything. You both work. You both have huge jobs and they're equally important. There has to be equity in the home," she said. "And I'm telling you, I messed up. I always made sure Terry [Dubrow] was taken care of and he was all that. He has to do things with the children that you'd be doing and you just have to trust him and release it."
Heather Altman took her words to heart, noting that she saw the Dubrows as herself and Josh in 10 years time.
"They are telling us in a looking glass what our future is. And this is what I'm feeling right now," she said. "This is scary."
Are Heather Altman and Josh Altman still together?
Yes. In fact, during a June interview with The Daily Dish, Heather shared that her and Josh's relationship is in a much better place today.
"It finally took over me, and I had a big moment, a big realization of, 'Hey we can't keep going at the rate that we're going. It's not physically possible and it's not fun anymore, and I just want to enjoy life,'" she recalled. "So, we had an epiphany and had a good heart-to-heart, and we're on the same page."
At the end of the MDLLA Season 15 finale, you could even see a glimpse of the goodness to come: Josh gave props to his wife for her work on the office opening and was even able to say the word "no."
