It’s been a rough year for newlyweds Stephanie and Alex on Days of our Lives. However, Stephanie might be creating the biggest problem for them as she fears they just aren’t meant to be together anymore.
Key Takeaways
- Stephanie may be sealing her own fate.
- She has begun to put distance between herself and Alex.
- Stephanie’s looking at signs that Alex may not be her person, but Theo could be.
Things Keep Going from Bad to Worse for Stephanie
Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins), being paralyzed and forcing Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) to keep Kelsey (Lena and Mira Chase) away from Stephanie (Abigail Klein), at least for a year, has broken something in Stephanie. All the recent blows to their marriage have Stephanie believing she and Alex aren’t meant to be.
Stephanie not only told her mom, Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), that she felt her marriage to Alex was doomed, but also told Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) the same thing. In fact, Stephanie has been leaning on Theo more lately as she pulls away from Alex.
The way Stephanie now sees her marriage is that Alex has other priorities. Stephanie told him she was at the bottom of the barrel, which he tried to deny, but she ran out on him.
Later, when Alex laughed with a very high Chanel (Raven Bowens) in Horton Town Square, it only further cemented to Stephanie that her marriage is doomed. She didn’t even talk to Alex or Chanel. She simply saw it as proof that her negativity toward them was right.
Stephanie Could Be Her Own Worst Enemy
There’s no question that Stephanie has hit a breaking point, and rightfully so, with all the setbacks in her marriage. However, the insistence that her marriage can’t survive the latest with Joy and Kelsey may be doing more damage than the situation itself.
Not only is Stephanie intentionally putting distance between herself and Alex, but she has also started to give up. Stephanie is so consumed with everything going wrong in her marriage that she could be making things worse.
Instead of talking with Alex, she’s created a narrative that the universe is against them. That belief could very well lead Stephanie down a road that ultimately ends her marriage.
Stephanie has every right to be frustrated over the state of her relationship with her husband. If she’s not careful, though, her fear of losing him just might come true because of the way she handled the situation.
