Like a couple from the 50s. Jen is making sure Tyler’s slippers are near the door and a roast is in the oven when he comes home.
Her overachiever ethos had hurt her with post divorce recovery. Cause for her to have value she needs to be winning and the very best at all the things. So rather than slowly wading into dating Tyler she decided they were all whole and healthy and this was it for the rest of their lives. When things got intense and messy with him she determined she could work extra hard to keep it together. Those of us who didn’t marry our first love at 19 could have told her it shouldn’t be this hard this early in a romance, run baby run. There’s way more fish in that sea. It’s not failure to cut bait on a bad catch it’s wisdom.
