In this day and age you'd think they would've invented contraception that's 100% effective or at the least far more options for men. Although considering his family should've been complete by 55 he defo should've just had a vasectomy.

Or just not shagged someone when he was married.

who says he “allowed”it? She could have told him she’s in the pill

How does her using, or claiming to use, the Pill, stop him from wearing a condom? The Pill can fail, so any man who doesn't want to be a father should look to his own protection.

Agreed, but this is on both of them, not just him. And many men wouldn’t bother with a condom if they believed the woman was on the pill (even if they should for other reasons as well).

She would not have walked him round a milk bottle, only for the fact he is super rich- he’s nowt to look at

ABirdsEyeView · 13/09/2024 07:50

No rich famous man should trust a woman he's not in a serious relationship with, to be on the pill.
It's funny how you don't really see many celebrity women having to put out statements admitting to cheating and getting knocked up by men other than their husbands!
I mean, maybe the cheating happens but it goes to show that birth control etc does work if you are minded to use it!

No man should trust a woman's contraception, full-stop. Even if she's honest about using it, she's only one bout of D&V away from it failing.

Men need to take responsibility for their own fertility, starting with saying "no" to affairs.

Until recently, a married woman pregnant by an affair partner could simply claim that the baby was her husband's. It's only recently that DNA testing that has changed that. Female celebrities also have the money to fly to where abortion is legal if they don't want the baby.

ABirdsEyeView · 13/09/2024 10:39

I would imagine that whoever DG got pregnant, would have access to sufficient funds to get a termination if she wanted one. Can't see many men in his position actively wanting her to go ahead with the pregnancy.
Getting pg to a rich married man has payday written all over it. God, these men are so stupid and selfish and irresponsible. Imagine being in your 50s and still doing dumb shit like this. So very unattractive to any woman worth her salt.

Depends on the attitude of the putative father.

Having a kid turns your life upside down no matter how much money you have so, if she sabotaged her own contraception, it's because she wanted to become a mother. Not to prove an affair, nor to get money.

And all he had to do to stop this was keep his trousers zipped up.

ABirdsEyeView · 13/09/2024 14:39

'Depends on the attitude of the putative father.'

Well yes, but I'd hazard a guess that most married men would prefer to pay for an abortion, avoiding the need to out statements on SM, admitting to having cheated on their wives and fathering a baby outside of their marriage.

While babies do disrupt one's life, it's way easier to raise one when you can guarantee a large amount of child support.

ABirdsEyeView · 13/09/2024 14:42

Although maybe the mum will turn out to be someone who doesn't want his money and has plenty of her own - rich people tend to know other rich people, after all.
But it's such an awful situation to deliberately bring a baby into.

Women should always put the condom on that they carry around with them. Then keep checking that it's still on. Especially when they are shagging married blokes.

Springsteen very publically cheated on his wife with a bandmate. That's why they divorced. Then it's possible he got too old to fuck around, but I wouldn't bet any money on it.

Think he married her- the female guitarist

Mt61 · 16/09/2024 10:29

Watched a YouTube clip of Bono & his wife, loads of clips of them kissing & hugging, Bono looked more attentive- can’t believe he’s been faithful all these years ( I hope he has though)

Yes, Patti Scialfa. She has just announced she has multiple myeloma, a terrible cancer to have.

I was disappointed in him. In a way that I was not when till Lindemann had his sexual exploits outed.

I’m sticking with Jack Black as the good guy face of rock.

Just discovered Rammstien,Tills supposed to be salt of the earth kind of bloke & quite shy! until I read he’s into having sex with, young, drugged up girls- loads have come forward

Well I back Martin Kemp and his wife since 1988 Shirlie Holliman. Beautiful couple. Even though he was the love off my life it makes me very happy that they have been happy with Shirlie all these years.♥️
