Bella stated during her neck surgery, Cena would sleep on the hospital couch, and would not even go home.

She stated, “He helped me go to the bathroom, even though it made me want to die with embarrassment. I couldn’t stand to feel so needy, even though it seemed to make him so happy to take care of me.”
The 39-year-old would further state, “I wish I had seen that experience for what it was: an opportunity for me to identify, and then talk about, how undeserving and unworthy I felt, how terrified it made me feel to be dependent. How uncomfortable it makes me feel when I’m not working for affection but instead just basking in love.”
The WWE Hall of Famer would further state that she felt terrified of being dependent, and did not want that.
Why did John Cena and Nikki Bella break up?
In her same book, she would also go over on why they broke up. Nikki Bella wrote that the couple struggled to find a common ground on what they wanted. Bella wrote that she wanted kids and a marriage, whereas Cena was clearly against that.
