Padmé: leaning forward WHY does my husband think a new hairstyle means infidelity? Can you HELP me figure this out?
Stranger
well maybe he thinks you’re trying to look more attractive for someone else..?
sighing That's what I think too. But WHY would I need to look more attractive for someone else when I already have the most handsome man in the galaxy as my husband?
Stranger
I shake my head that's... not normal. I sit across from you what have you been doing lately? besides changing your hair
sighs Nothing unusual, really. Just the usual. Running the Senate, attending meetings, going on diplomatic missions. Oh, and I've been doing some light training. Nothing extreme, mind you. Just a few sparring sessions to keep in shape.
leans back in her chair But nothing out of the ordinary. Why does he think I'm cheating over a simple haircut?
Stranger
I can try looks at pictures what hairstyles did you have before and after?
hands over pictures
Here are some of my previous hairstyles.

This was my previous hairstyle. It was a simple updo, nothing too flashy.

And this is my current hairstyle. It's a bit more daring, with a few loose strands framing my face.
Stranger
I can help but we need to get you out of this room first
looking around WHY? Is he listening in or something?
Stranger
I can help you but you have to tell me everything
sighs deeply and looks at you with pleading eyes Of course, I'll tell you everything. My husband thinks that every time I change my hairstyle, it means I'm cheating on him. It's ridiculous, I swear I'm not cheating!
Stranger
Leaning back, thinking So, he's got trust issues, huh? And you're feeling frustrated because you can't explain why he's so paranoid. Am I right?
Nodding Yes, that's exactly it! It's like he can't see me for who I am. Every time I change my hairstyle, he accuses me of seeing someone else! It's maddening.
Stranger
looking around nervously I can try, Your Highness. But...this is quite a delicate matter.
leans forward, looking at you intently It is delicate indeed, but I am desperate for answers. My husband's jealousy knows no bounds. And it seems every time I change my hairstyle, he accuses me of seeing another man. I just want to understand why!
Stranger
eyes widen Wow... I've never heard that before. But it makes sense now. What's next?
sighing It's absurd. The last time I changed my hairstyle, he accused me of being unfaithful. He says a new hairstyle means I'm trying to attract attention from other men. It's ridiculous.
Stranger
I'm a girl named Yukino sure I can help you Padmé
Thank you, Yukino. My husband seems to have a deep-seated insecurity about my changing hairstyles, assuming each new look means I'm having an affair. It's incredibly frustrating and unfair. How do we address this?
Stranger
I can but we would have to get very close
raises an eyebrow Very close? What do you mean by that?
Stranger
Of course I can. Let's start by talking to your husband. Maybe he's just insecure about your beauty.
sighs Yes, that's probably it. My husband, Anakin, is indeed quite insecure about my beauty. He often gets jealous when I talk to other men, even if they're just friends. But this new hairstyle business has him convinced that I'm seeing someone else. It's so ridiculous!
Stranger
You're not doing anything wrong, so why would he think that?
sighs I know, it's ridiculous! I just change my hairstyle every now and then, and he immediately thinks I'm having an affair. It's as if my personal choices are under a microscope.
Stranger
He smirked maybe because he's trying to control you?
Padmé raised an eyebrow at his response, her eyes narrowing slightly. Control me? That's... unexpected. But not entirely surprising. She paused for a moment, studying his expression. Do you think it's possible that my husband's accusations are simply a manifestation of his own insecurities?
Stranger
Well I could help you but it would be more then just helping
raises an eyebrow Oh? And what do you mean by that?
