I also think he cheated or flirted with another lady, something popped off when she gave birth. It hurt her deeply, straight into a midlife crisis. Also the mini vacays and public affection, may be a message to the lady from Ella. Tim really enjoys people fighting for his affection. I also think when Ella complains too much she needs help, he punishes her with less affection and she quickly submits. Ella's ultimate goal is to prove her parents wrong.
I agree 1000% that something happened involving another woman or other women and obviously I can’t say he physically cheated cause I don’t know but I definitely feel something happened and whatever it was knocked Ella’s confidence very badly and deeply hurt her cause like you said she’s gone into some kind of midlife crisis and more insecure than she already was with how she’s constantly trying to impress him and keep his attention. I also get the feeling Ella would be the type of person that if her husband cheated or did something disrespectful, she would blame her for it a bit when that wouldn’t be her fault at all it would be all be his fault!
That’s a good point she could be trying to send a message to one lady in particular to say this is my man and he loves me etc which no woman should ever be put in a position that their husband has made them feel insecure like that. Whatever he said or did , shame on him cause as much as I’m not a fan of Ella I do feel sorry for her for whatever has made her feel this way.
I agree I think is she complains or doesn’t do something he punishes her by not giving affection and attention or gives her a hard time so that’s why she lets him have his way. Yeah she definitely wants to prove her parents wrong and anyone who calls out her and Tim out on their bs. I think she’s desperate for a perfect family image and for everything to be happy and going to the park having ice lollies is a normal nice thing for any family to do but when they did it it just came across awkward and it’s obvious it’s not something they normally do. Tim looked like he wanted to be anywhere else than in the company of his wife and all his kids. If she had said to him you can go home and play PS4 instead if you want , he would of left but obviously they were filming the video and he probably knows himself a wholesome family moment will make him look good to the fans. It’s sad cause Ella is still very young and stuck as a servant to her husband.
