Line 38:
==Relationship with her husband==
Jake often frustrates her with his various personality quirks, neuroticism, cluelessness, and crazy antics; most of the time, this is shrugged off as background noise, though in "[[Psycho Therapy]]", "[[Gifted]]", and "[[This Year's Model]]" she showed far greater discontent lurks under the surface. She became quite vicious in "Psycho Therapy" when she had to roleplay as him.

Line 46 ⟶ 45:
However, in general they get on as a couple and episodes like "[[The Teachings of Don Jake]]" and "[[Jake of Hearts]]" show she truly cares for him, with her whole routine and home life changing after Jake's heart attack (and then changing back when it became clear he'd be fine). In "Psycho Therapy", she was also upset at the thought she'd left Jake feeling neglected and resentful, and apologised to him (and vice versa) for things said.
She's shown discontent that the "spice" in her marriage is gone, as far back as "[[Too Cute]]" where she admitted regaining it was her highest priority. She's attempted to do so with various trips and mechanisms ("[[Antisocial Climbers]]", "[[Camp Fear]]"), but often these get cancelled due to work commitments ("Camp Fear", "[[Of Human Bonding]]"). On several occasions, however, they've regained the "spice" ("[[Road Worrier]]" and "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]") and Helen has been left ''very'' happy.
In "[[Sappy Anniversary]]", prolonged absences due to work causes Helen and Jake to spend less time together, and both of them miss the other.
Later on in "Sappy", Jake becomes worried Helen is bothered about being married to a loser - she reassures him she isn't bothered (quickly saying she doesn't think he's a loser), and reveals that she's still kept the badly-made, ugly hobbit candle he made for her back during their first anniversary, as it was something he created especially for her: it's a reminder of why she married him, that he's a "kind, decent, intelligent man I fell in love with all those years ago". (She's a bit put out when he recoils in horror at the candle, having no idea what it is)
