Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford divorcing

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

Was v surprised.
He's a bit of a nob but I thought they looked like a happy couple

So sad. They seem lovely together
I'm not seeing what your seeing!

I just came back from a cruise where I thought I'd passed him in the buffet. He was in a wheelchair so I thought it couldn't have been him.
But yes turns out it was.
Looks very young for his age despite the physical difficulties.
bit shit for both of them I'd imagine.

A lot fucking easier than remaining married to a twat, I'd have thought.

He is awful!
im glad Ruth has finally decided to leave the arrogant d*ck

I wonder why that is.

Ah FECK ARSE!! WOMENS KNICKERS!! 😂🤣🤣

You seem to be confused. It’s @beeonmybonnett telling other people what they can and can’t post.

And if you’d RTFT you’d see I haven’t gossiped at all.

Hopefully you’ll now feel uncomfortable at being pulled up for lying.

I disagree. I wouldn't tolerate or stay with any man who - as you yourself quote "treated you like shit" and in essence didn't care about you.
It's so important to be financially in a position to be able to leave if this happens.

They perhaps might have wanted to divorce for some time. It would have been difficult while their careers were still most successful together as a ‘TV couple.’ Obviously that time has passed now.

IIRC he's been quite critical of itv since he left This Morning and joined GB news. That's got to be quite difficult for Ruth seeing as she still works for itv. You'd think he'd be a bit more circumspect for her sake.

While it would be horrible to leave a person because they got sick, if a relationship was on the rocks and then one party got ill, how long is the other person supposed to stay for? Obviously, you see a person over the initial crisis, but if you're talking about long term or permanent health issues, is the other person supposed to stay for ever? Even if the relationship is dead?

I always thought he was punching tbh and I don't think he came across as very nice to her.

Me too, I aways really enjoyed the way they presented together. I hope they both find what they want and manage to keep their relationship amicable. They’ve been together a long time.

Oh no, such a shame. I thought they were really good together before and it’s clear they were in love. I think things seemed different after all the P.S stuff and his interviews, move to Gb news etc. She’s been on Loose women less and he’s been ill. Just all seems to have collapsed, v sad.

Awh that's so sad!
I always thought they were a fab couple and always loved them both - super surprised!

You asked that poster why she clicked on the thread. That's the standard put down/silencing tactic used. HTH.

That was in response to her trying to put down/silence another poster with ‘This is private and nobody’s business but theirs.’, for simply asking what happened. HTH.

Their marriage had always seemed a bit of a sham to me. I used to watch them on This Morning and they used to talk about their seperate living rooms and seperate Christmas decorations. I felt like Ruth protested a bit too much about their life and he was just horrid. I really wasn’t surprised, it seemed to me that their lives have been seperate for a long time. I’m surprised it took them this long to make it official.

I never once told anyone what they can and can’t post. I just said I don’t think it’s right to speculate on the reasons behind the breakdown of someone’s marriage.

Literally would struggle to find something less interesting

@Hermione7

so instead of scrolling past a thread that apparently you're not interested in, you felt compelled to post on it? To what end? To look superior?

I'm surprised to see they are the same age, I thought she was younger.

I think Eamonn has quite an old man mindset and Ruth has a younger outlook, and possibly when he became ill he became even more so and she's just had enough. It can really drag you down when your partner is negative and pessimistic about life, which I feel this is the vibe Eamonn gives off, and you are still positive and vibrant, as I think Ruth is.

I know several couples who pushed through and are glad they did and generally it’s through a period where their husbands are doing the ‘cranky old man’ thing.

I’d push through to a point but if it wasn’t getting better, that would be that.

I bet this is it. And he's probably so grumpy she can't take any more.

I always think of people split up at this point it must be really bad.

Apparently she felt more carer than wife and he is furious.

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor I am 52 and have left my h last year after a 27 year relationship. Of course it is always bad. People don't generally leave any relationship of substance over a whim.
