It’s very easy to look at other relationships, especially celebrity ones, and think that they must be perfect. But, Kristen Bell has always been candid about the fact that her marriage to Dax Shepard takes a lot of work.
Recently, she was on Justin Long’s Podcast ‘Life is Short’ where she revealed details about a fight with Dax that happened not too long ago. It resulted in three days of not speaking. Yikes!
Apparently, it started simple (doesn’t it always?) with a note that said ‘hey could you take the towels out of the dyer and fold them’. Later, Dax expressed that he felt controlled by notes. One thing led to another until, according to Kristen, they were screaming at the top of their lungs at each other. She said it got so bad she basically blacked out and doesn’t remember the majority of the fight.
It ends on a happy note though. Kristen visited a dog cafe with her kids where they met a foster dog that needed a forever home. Dax agreed they should adopt it. “So,” she said, “I didn’t get an apology. But I got a dog!” She added, “We never talked about that fight, ever, but I will say this: Every single thing that I have needed done or thought, ‘I’d want help with this,’ since that fight, he has been ahead of. I couldn’t complain about him if I tried right now.”
