Carrie Symonds

[LadyLucyLocket]

I think of myself as quite liberal re personal relationships and am of an age when I've seen and heard it all - till CS came onto the scene.

I feel it's really inappropriate that as BJs mistress/ other woman, she is invited to an attends 'state' functions when BJ is not yet divorced.

She's been to Balmoral and there she was at the Remembrance evening at the Albert Hall.

I feel she is out of order.

I would be accepting of their relationship if it were low key, if she hadn't moved into No 10 and if he kept her out of the limelight till his divorce was finalised. I feel incredibly sorry for his soon to be ex wife and his children who have supported him for 20 + years and are now usurped by a woman (same age as my own DD.)

I just feel it's all wrong and someone in his position ought to know better and wait till they are legally free to flaunt a new relationship to the public.

She's useful at the moment, as far as he's concerned.
He'll be bored soon enough and she'll be history. Like all the others.

Sorry, been busy so not replied sooner.

No, he shouldn’t remain single. That’s not what I said. It is repulsive and tells you something if his character that he cheated his wife while she was undergoing canes treatment and then buggered off with his mistress.

He gives no fucks about anyone. Falling out of love is fair enough. Shagging about, getting caught and then sloping off with the OW because your wife won’t have you anymore is pathetic. He obviously gives not one fuck for his children.

Let’s be clear. I’d view any person who did this as completely pathetic.

Sorry, should be cancer treatment.

@BelleSausage No argument that what he did is pathetic, he is not the first man/woman to behave like that and he won't be the last. She has made the choice to stay with him.

But that is still not a valid reason for him to not bring his current partner as his plus one.

The best Carrie can hope for is to be legitimised - whereupon she'll then be emotionally abused and cheated on, like her predecessors, until her strong career woman persona is squashed and broken ... like her predecessors.

The best Boris can hope for is to continue to live as himself, utterly riven with self doubt and a compulsion to bullishly prove to everyone else that he is, in fact, marvellous. This feat - even if possible - would exclude the person he most needs to convince. Himself.

Justice is already served upon them both.

@LochJessMonster

Agree to disagree. Not sure seeing your dad in the papers constantly with the woman he left your mum for is a great help to his children. Then again, I’m not sure he thinks that hard about what anyone else might think or feel.

And I’m afraid I think anyone that repulsive shouldn’t be in public life full stop. It’s like suddenly acting decently to your family is passé. If I’d behaved that badly I’d hope I’d be ashamed enough at my behaviour to keep a low profile.

I feel sorry for his children. The rest can do as they like.
Remember that power is an aphrodisiac otherwise people like Johnson and David Mellor might never get partners they do.
