NEED TO KNOW
- Jacob and Marissa Henderson added a third decorative throw pillow to their couch on Saturday.
- Experts say this signals the beginning of a silent, passive-aggressive war with no clear winner.
- The couple has been married for four months and now sleeps back-to-back in the shape of a capital ‘H’.
Newlyweds Jacob and Marissa Henderson have taken the bold yet devastating step of placing a third throw pillow on their living room couch, triggering what marriage therapists call “Stage One Aesthetic Hostility.” What began as a cozy two-pillow harmony has spiraled into silent resentment, long sighs, and audible muttering while folding laundry.
“This one has tassels,” Jacob whispered, staring into the middle distance. “No one even sits on the couch anymore.” Sources confirm he now uses a folding chair when watching TV. Marissa, meanwhile, insists the new pillow “pulls the room together” and that Jacob “never understood the importance of layering textiles.”
According to close friends, the couple’s once-daily morning affirmations have devolved into vaguely weaponized comments about dishwasher loading patterns and the definition of ‘dry clean only.’ A couples counselor they contacted reportedly told them to “just embrace the chaos or get a dog.”
The third pillow currently sits untouched in the center of the couch, slightly off-angle, silently daring either party to adjust it. Love is a battlefield. And so is your IKEA sectional.
