Anna Williamson the affair podcast

[trustedadult]

why won't she stop bloody interrupting?
these poor women talking about their relationships and she's barging in every two seconds.

very annoying.

@blomrYes I think Anna was judging hard! There were several times I thought she was going to say ‘wtf’ but caught herself and said ‘no judgement here’ when there clearly was. Usually at the end she says what a strong person they are and glad they’ve learned from their situation but she didn’t this time.

The latest one (Joshua Molnah basically getting away with murdering Yousef Makki) is so upsetting.

Some corkers from the one where the guy's husband was on grinder.
"So you've drawn the gauntlet".
Also
Guy: Something happened that I don't really want to go into the details about"
Anna: so are those details about something bad that happened or was it something else?

I'm paraphrasing here but HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO INTO DETAILS ANNA!

The update episode today is so predictably depressing. It's the other woman from s1 whose affair partner was still with his wife, but he definitely didn't love wife anymore or have sex with her, and yet somehow kept getting her pregnant. He never took the guest/other woman out anywhere - just rocked up to her house for sex once a week. She is still with him. He is still with his wife.

🤦‍♀️😟

I'm glad somebody else noticed the sniffing. I couldn't believe it that they were trying for a baby and then it was like whoops. I've just noticed you're married.

Marie from today is the most unlikeable guest she's ever had on. She said towards the end that this behaviour is so out if character for her, but its been going on for years, she treated her husband like a mug and has little regard for having babies willy nilly with no plans to stay and build a family with the fathers. She was having an affair whilst ttc with her poor husband and kept on sleeping with the OM when she was pregnant. This is no moment of madness out of character behaviour, she's just grim

I agree. I like it in principle, but it’s hard to listen to because the dreadful presenter.

Not sure the story this week was really that appropriate for a podcast about affairs 🤨

Weird right?

Wow I just looked at the episode title! I hardly think this constitutes an "affair"! Thats like calling rape "love making". Extremely inappropriate. I wouldn't be surprised if this one is also taken down. Very dark indeed.

Exactly! And with the victim's voice never heard at all and in fact constantly referred to as a liar by her sister.

When Anna asked "do you think she loved them?" about the victim's sons I was like what the actual fuck, you mean the boys that were born out of a grooming/abuse situation?!

I know Anna did a bit of reiterating the fact it was abuse but it felt very half hearted.

Agreed, such a shift in tone to have an episode on child sexuality abuse, grooming, control and rape. What trauma that man has perpetrated on so many people through the generations.

Does anyone notice an editing cock up about 21 minutes in?
