He seemed very grounded. He did the cooking, kept his stuff picked up, etc. She didn't know how to do laundry or cook and was such a slob and just wanted to hire people to do everything. She spent money like it was water and he seemed more reserved with his money. I think those kinds of differences in expectations and lifestyle are hard to overcome in a marriage. Can you imagine her as a mother? He probably couldn't either.

I'd have to agree.
They were like a crap load of other couples who let 9-11 effect them and push them to get engaged. Yes, 9-11 was traumatic but rushing into marriage before you are ready because of a terrorist attack isn't the smartest idea. IMPO.
I never understood them as a couple. I think they were definately physically attracted to each other but mentally I think they just couldn't make it work. Nick went to college (I'm not sure if he gradauted or not though) while Jessica graduated high school and that was it. From the Newleyweds you could tell that she wasn't the "brightest bulb in the bunch". And you could see that Nick was getting fed up with her utter stupidity (is this chicken or fish?) and her wasting of the money (spending 800 bucks for 2 bras and 2 panties because she was jealous, spending 2000 on sheets).
