Having watched some of their other videos, I’m concerned for her.

The way she apologises after being nudged is awful.

Mummyoflittledragon · 15/04/2020 19:20

They met in 2009. That would have made her about 21 and him 33. Whirlwind romance....

NoSauce · 15/04/2020 19:20

Imo he acted instinctively when he elbowed her, he immediately looks horrified that he’s been caught on camera and tries to smooth over it by putting his arm round her.

Never in a million years would DH do that even if he was annoyed with me for whatever reason.

She did slap him. Surprised you guys didn’t notice

UserDeleted · 15/04/2020 19:25

Apart from everyone who did notice. And the several people who commented on it.

NoSauce · 15/04/2020 19:25

She did slap him. Surprised you guys didn’t notice

Which video?

LadyEloise · 15/04/2020 19:26

I can't stand him anyway. Far too smarmy. Saw him being interviewed or at a concert and he went on and on about his amazing wife-like a Tom Cruise moment -over the top.
It really doesn't look good.
Nor did her slapping him on the other video.
Don't they have a child who is ill?

Sammymommy · 15/04/2020 19:29

@HollowTalk Wasn't the slap part of a rehearsed "bit" he was doing, on his instagram? Seems to me like he wanted to be funny and asked her to do it so he could say his punchline? I might be wrong though.

MakeItThroughTheDay · 15/04/2020 19:31

I find the way he handles her shocking. Those defending him, wow! Would you like your daughter to be treated like that? I think I would be incensed to be touched like that by another adult. And he just bulls on, doesn't check she's ok, doesn't make eye contact.......
But I am possibly shocked at how generally awful he comes across in that longer second clip. When she talks he looks bored or is making eyes at the camera or treating it like some kind of in-joke "what's she on about". His Spanish is so shit but he seems so cocky about that too. His whole demeanour is seriously twattish (and I previously had no opinion on him or thought he was quite all right), he berates and belittles and condescends. You might say you can't tell much from a clip but I think he has no respect for her. The only mystery for me is, where even is his mask??

ItchyScratch · 15/04/2020 19:35

I was prepared to say you were being ridiculous

But I watched both clips and I’m so shocked!

His facial expressions say it all (other than the nudge!)

I truly assumed he would be a lovely person but he just seems like a massive TWAT

RomeoLikedCapuletGirls · 15/04/2020 19:36

Not sure which is worse, the way he grabs her when he clocks he's live or his awful accent when he speaks Spanish.

zsazsajuju · 15/04/2020 19:42

I haven’t experienced a controlling partner but I find both videos disturbing. I think he is an abuser

Schuyler · 15/04/2020 19:44

It makes incredibly uncomfortable viewing. It was not pleasant or jokey behaviour.

DateLoaf · 15/04/2020 19:44

I feel really sorry for her. That whole thing on the video about how she’s ‘always’ late for everything. Why’s it ok to publish all that.

cushioncovers · 15/04/2020 19:46

He looks pissed off with her, it's as if he loves her but doesn't actually like her very much. And he seems to get irritated very easily.

fascinated · 15/04/2020 19:48

But he can you love some one you don’t like?

fascinated · 15/04/2020 19:48

Sorry, how can...

LyraSilvertongueBelacqua · 15/04/2020 19:51

I've watched some of their videos and I have always considered them to have a loving, but fun relationship. She is a feisty Argentinian and pokes fun at him a lot.

The elbow thing I hadn't seen before and that's concerning, but the being late one he just seems annoyed rather than anything more to me (my opinion).

As for the "why is she only just in the video" - they run consecutive lives on their Instagram so she is in half of his and he is in half of hers.

Don't know what to make of it all really.

Elsiebear90 · 15/04/2020 19:55

At first I thought he was joking, then I watched it again and heard her say “oh god, I’m sorry” immediately after he elbowed her, so I don’t think he was joking around at all.

Notredamn · 15/04/2020 19:57

@Sammymommy yeah you just made that up.
The extremes some will go to, to cast bad men in a better light....

Sammymommy · 15/04/2020 19:58

She says "Perdon, I am sorry", not "Oh God, I am sorry". But she seems terrified the same

Sammymommy · 15/04/2020 20:00

I made what up? The video? His face? The fact that he pinches her arm? I am trying to cast bad men in a better light?

Sammymommy · 15/04/2020 20:02

Ah the slap? No, I didn't make that up, that is how I interpreted it? I said I might be wrong?

She might be abusive too. That doesn't make his behaviour right. If they are both abusive, I feel sorry for the kids.

Thescrewinthetuna · 15/04/2020 20:02

I find the clip disturbing. His body language, that sharp elbowing and the split second he realises he’s done it on camera, her face when he does it then the way she apologised to him. I can’t believe anyone can look at that and not be worried for her. I understand she’s come out and defended him but many abused women do defend their abuser. Or they think just because he’s not punched them it’s not abuse. The micro aggressions, the derogatory way he speaks about her, his body language, the way he constantly grabs her neck and pulls her back towards him as though it’s a hug (I view it as a headlock).
Very disturbing. And this is all based on videos he himself has put out there.

mathanxiety · 15/04/2020 20:03

But how can you love some one you don’t like?

You don't.

You enjoy making them squirm and the fear in their eyes and the feeling of superiority and the ability to indulge your grossly immature ego without fear of consequences when you have ground your victim down enough.
