According to the idea of schemas, our past experiences and attitudes influence how we perceive and interpret new information. In this case, Jenny's experience reading about a bad husband may lead her to have a negative schema or stereotype about men in relationships. As a result, she may be more likely to view her boyfriend's actions through this negative lens and perceive them as negative or problematic, even if they are not. Therefore, her most likely response is to view her boyfriend's actions in a negative light. It is less likely that she would break up with him without giving him a chance to prove himself or become so infatuated with him after one dinner date that she talks about marriage.
