Helen Morgendorffer: Difference between revisions

In "[[Of Human Bonding]]", while Jake was away, she sounded out the [[Fashion Club]] about how to respond if "this girl's boyfriend" no longer appreciates her and if the relationship has become "sort of a drag". In "[[Gifted]]", she made a rather angry 'joke' regarding divorce. "[[Antisocial Climbers]]" showed that when they actually ''tried'' to talk about their relationship and feelings (after having sex), they were completely unable to do it and ended up in embarrassed silence.

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. "[[Fire!]]" showed them in a loving, calm relationship once they were in a relaxed environment, though this ended once stress re-entered the scene.

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]]", "[[Antisocial Climbers]]", "[[Fire!]]", "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]", "Camp Fear") and Helen has been left ''very'' happy.
