Anyone else seen the news?? Another baby on the way, relationship on the rocks, or good old fashioned age gap love?

Probably explains Dominic Cummings going nuclear - he wasn't asked to be bridesmaid 🤣

Didn't he put the hat round? 😄

Rumour was that BJ had an affair with the deputy editor of the Speccie Mary Wakefield when Jonhson was editor who is now the wife of Dominic Cummings !

Well I wish them the best of luck like I would any newly married couple.
I assume nobody posting on here has ever had an affair.

BlatantlyNameChanged · 29/05/2021 23:08

I've never had an affair but then again I give my marriage vows a little more weight than Mr Johnson appears to given that he's collecting more rings than Sonic the Hedgehog.

You. Can marry in the Catholic Church after a divorce. My husbands cousin married a divorced man. Had to pay £600 to the church to have his previous marriage annulled apparently. Probably costs more now.

Happy to confirm I’ve never had an affair, I’ve also never given over £150k of public money to my mistress (while mayor of London), I’ve never presided over 150k avoidable deaths, never had a £200k decorating bill paid for by an unknown benefactor & I’ve never hidden in a fridge in a pathetic attempt to hide from my responsibilities.

I don't know you but I'm going to go out on a limb and presume you also haven't presided over c.130,000 deaths, most of which were a direct result of you being massively out of your depth and fucking up at every turn?

LemonRoses · 29/05/2021 23:29

Also happy to confirm my fidelity and ongoing commitment to my marriage. I know who has paid for any redecorating we’ve had done too. Not handed jobs to friends in return for money either. Definitely not handed any lover significant sums of public money, nor failed to acknowledge my children.

Serpenta · 29/05/2021 23:31

Can also confirm I've never had an affair. To be fair though, I've never met Boris Johnson, my knickers might automatically loosen in that blonde sex beast's presence.

BlatantlyNameChanged · 29/05/2021 23:32

Double checked with DH and he paid for our living room wallpaper. He also confirms he has not been shagging Americans or journalists and he is aware of how many children he has.

Blacktothepink · 29/05/2021 23:37

😂😂😂😂

Pinkcadillac · 29/05/2021 23:47

Can confirm I've never had an affair. Can't say the same about DH, though Angry

Been handy for knocking of bad headlines from (most of) the front pages.

Who'd of thunk it?

PrincessFiorimonde · 30/05/2021 00:13

Got married 30 years ago to someone who had been divorced. My mum checked with her parish priest if we could marry in an RC church, and he said yes - because I was a baptised Catholic, not previously married, while DH-to-be's first wedding had taken place in a register office and therefore didn't count. (Can't remember if a register-office wedding would have counted if he had been a Catholic himself.)

I assumed this was the general rule in the RC Church. But, given that other people have posted about different experiences, perhaps DM's priest was just saying that he personally would be ok with this?

(We married in a register office anyway.)

CricketsBats · 30/05/2021 00:19

Apparently these the theological acrobatics it took for him to get married in a Catholic Church. The church is a disgrace. Marry divorced people of bloody don't.

CricketsBats · 30/05/2021 00:19

Mr Johnson renounced his mother’s Catholicism when he was confirmed in the Anglican faith whilst at Eton, according to a biography of the Prime Minister.
In order to marry in a Catholic church, Mr Johnson could have had his two previous marriages recognised as annulled.
Alternatively, sources speculated that because he was baptised a Catholic, by not participating in Catholic ceremonies in his previous marriages, for which he would have required special dispensation from the Catholic church, those marriages would have "had a lack of canonical form" and could therefore be considered invalid.

TurquoiseLemur · 30/05/2021 00:36

[quote userxx]@TurquoiseLemur His wife had cancer and he left her? Fucking brutal.[/quote]
Apparently, yes.

I understand that a marriage can genuinely break down but to leave someone when they are in treatment for cancer (unless that person is being abusive, obvs) is about as despicable as it gets.

But Boris Johnson is all about Boris Johnson and he probably felt he wasn't getting enough attention so off he goes with another woman. A woman bonkers enough to think he's worth having.

I hope the ex-wife is feeling better.

But annulment isn't just about money. (In fact, speaking as someone who was brought up in the CC, I didn't know that money was involved at all but, yes, you're probably right.

It usually takes ages to get an annulment. A lot are never granted. the grounds for annulment are very few: non-consummation of the marriage; either party being pressured into the marriage by family; one party entering into the marriage not intending to have children but not sharing this fact with their intended; someone deemed to be mentally unstable. It's a nasty process, very legalistic, with quite a few cases involving psychiatric reports, etc.

It's only really worth going for it if either party is a devout Catholic and envisages a day when they might want to remarry in a Catholic Church.

Also really surprised they managed it in the Catholic cathedral

Bouledeneige · 30/05/2021 00:57

You know what they say. When you marry your mistress you create a vacancy. He was still married to Allegra when Marina became pregnant. Then after many affairs and progeny he started up with the latest wife. and so it goes.

Why anyone, absolutely anyone would find him attractive let alone marry him is beyond me.

Serpenta · 30/05/2021 01:14

Wasn't that James Goldsmith's famous quote, about wives and mistresses?

Johnson is chums with Goldsmith's (awful) son Zac so I'm sure he's one of his shagging inspirations.

Rosehip10 · 30/05/2021 02:01

@TurquoiseLemur Annulment in the roman catholic church isn't JUST about money, but from the experiences of a relative, believe me, money helps the process hugely....
