Meet Bella
Bella is a 28-year-old woman and has been married to her husband Jake for about 3 years. They had been together for 5 years prior to this. The couple has had a fairly good relationship so far, but recently some problems have started to occur beneath the surface.
Trouble in paradise
These problems mainly have to do with Bella being very jealous and this has started getting in the way of a healthy relationship. She is afraid that Jake might be seeing somebody else, while there is no evidence for this whatsoever and Jake ensures her it is not the case.
A day to Himself
Tired of Bella’s constant suspicions of him and her being on his case all the time, Jake tells Bella that he needs a day to himself. After some arguing Bella is suddenly surprisingly fine with this. But that is only because she had come up with a plan.
Hiding under the bed
Bella tells Jake that she will be spending the night at a friend’s place so that he can have the house to himself for the night. But Bella never intended to go to this friend. She instead decided to stay at home, hiding under their bed. And Jake has no idea about this.
Jake is not alone
That evening, when Jakes comes home from work, Bella is waiting under the bed, trying to listen closely. Bella immediately hears that Jake is not alone, which is what he promised her that morning. Then Bella hears the other people starting to talk.
Her parents?!
She recognizes the voice immediately. They are from her parents! Bella expected Jake to come home with another girl, but this was not the case at all. Why was he meeting with her parents? Bella tried to follow along with the conversation going on downstairs.
Bella’s trust issues
Jake was talking to Bella’s parents about Bella’s recent behavior and her trust issues concerning him and their relationship. He really felt like it was becoming a big problem and if it wasn’t solved quickly, he doubted that their marriage could last.
Feeling regret
Upon hearing all this, Bella suddenly gets a wave of realization of what she has been doing. Her behavior has been pushing Jake away for no good reason. She feels horrible about everything and quickly goes downstairs to admit that she overheard everything.
Talking it out
Jake and her parents were very surprised to see Bella, but they also recognized that this was the perfect opportunity to talk to her. After Bella profusely apologized, the four of them sat down and started talking about everything. This went on for a couple of hours.
A stable marriage
In the end, Bella decided she would start seeing a therapist to help her with her issues and this worked relatively well. After a couple of months, Bella was already feeling a lot better and she trusted Jake more and more by the day. Their relationship finally seemed to be on the right track again!
