Has come out to say her long term relationship is over and it very much looks like he had a wandering eye and she found out.

She posted a video on Instagram and has done an interview to say once the trust is gone it has to be over.

I really like her, I think she's smart and funny and do feel sorry for her. She has dealt with it really well though. It's easy to say LTB but when it comes down to it that can be hard to do, especially when you've been together a long time.

Really hoping she finds happiness in the future!

Always thought they were an odd pairing and he seemed to be with her for the lifestyle. Her constant bragging about their sex life was cringe.

yep, he was ten years younger than her and seemed to be living off her. He’s aged a bit now but when they they first got together it looked like quite a strange pairing. I was surprised he hung around.

Bleating on now about her children are being affected like when she divorced. Think she needs to give it a rest now. She has a beautiful home, family, friends, money etc which is a lot more than most people have.

And she and her family have every right to be fucking devastated that a person who has been part of their lives for many milestones has let them down.

It matters not if you are a popular prince or a hermit pauper - people are allowed to feel what they feel and express it how they like.

Words are so funny aren’t they?

See, some say expressing your pain is bleating.

I say some folk are so fucking concentrated on bringing down a hurting woman that they must be nasty twats.

Politeness is just about stopping me from using the funny little word I want to use.

Sparklingbrook · 14/02/2023 16:38

So she’s not allowed to be devastated her partner of 16 years cheated on her because she has a beautiful home , family , friends and money and some people don’t have that.
And she must not speak of it, ever. What a load of 💩.

Ma heid. 🤯

Yup. Prince Harry and his wife also have the right to feel how they feel and express it how they like, but it doesn't stop posters criticising them for what they say or posting piss-taking memes about them.

I guess that must be different though, huh?

ArcaneWireless · 14/02/2023 18:39

Vanessa hasn’t been overly economical with the truth though.
🤷🏻‍♀️

Sparklingbrook · 14/02/2023 18:55

I feel more sorry for VF than I do for those two TBF. Not sure why we are comparing someone’s break up to their goings on though.

So because you perceive her to be more honest, she isn't allowed to be criticised, but because you perceive Harry and Meghan to be less honest, you are happy to criticise them way more than Vanessa was criticised in the single post you responded to?

Righto.

I'm not comparing the break up to H&M. I'm comparing a single virtuous post about V and family being able to express themselves without criticism, to many critical posts about how H&M express themselves.

Dear fucking god can we please have ONE THREAD without Harry & Meghan being mentioned. ((head explodes))

If she lied and was attention seeking, it would possibly lay her open to criticism. I haven’t said she shouldn’t be criticised at all. But just because someone has a nice family, nice things, a nice house doesn’t make them immune to hurt. That is what I was commenting on. I get she should count her blessings but she is allowed to speak about being let down by her life partner.

I make no bones about criticising H’s actions. I don’t agree with a lot of what he said.

But they are still very much together. They haven’t cheated on eachother. I hope they never find themselves in the position that Vanessa finds herself in.

I wouldn’t be saying M was bleating and should be thanking her lucky stars for her position if H cheated on her for example. I would have the same sympathy for her as I would Vanessa. H too. In fact anyone who’d been cheated on.

It is a cunt move and causes widespread ripples of hurt through families. It takes a lot to process.

You don’t know me though and are making assumptions about what I think.

Away and stalk someone else. Righto?

ArcaneWireless · 14/02/2023 19:42

Apparently not. But given that I am being stalked again, I’ll be off.

No prizes for guessing either.

Lol, it's not stalking. It's just recognising a name that I have seen post multiple memes on H&M.

I completely agree with your post on here about people being able to express themselves. Then I saw you posted it, and laughed out loud and startled the cat.

LindorDoubleChoc · 14/02/2023 19:58

Anyway ...

Vanessa, if you ever see this thread I hope you know how much you are liked and admired by the vast, vast majority of posters here. I wish you well in the healing process and ... onwards and upwards girl! Flowers

I'm sure I can find a few links to h&m-free threads if anyone is struggling to find any

Scaredofmynipple · 14/02/2023 20:35

Popbitch had an article recently about them. He wanted a gluten free pizza, she screamed in his face " im fucking paying the bills"... No one is entirely a saint or a sinner!

What are you talking about? Daft comment. On a thread about Vanessa Feltz it's really fucking odd to have H&M inserted into it for no apparent reason.

Scaredofmynipple · 14/02/2023 21:00

Popbitch is remarkably accurate about all forms, politics, celebrity, corruption 😘

Oh there's absolutely is a reason. It might not be apparent to you, but the person I was responding to clearly knows my reasoning.

I’ve never heard of Popbitch. Sounds like a very serious trustworthy site though with a name like that. 🤣
