to not have much sympathy for Anthea Turner.

[DollysDrawers]

So Grant Bovey has apparently done the dirty and she's kicked him out. On the one hand, I feel sorry for any person whose relationship is in tatters for any reason, particularly infidelity as it tears you apart.

My first husband cheated on me with my closest friend (her DH was also ex H closest 'friend'. It was absolutely the worst time of my life, I was devastated to think that the two people I loved and trusted so much would do this and it took me a long time to get over it. I felt stupid, humuliated and above all empty and I thought I would never be happy again. They went ahead to marry and 8 years later they divorced because she had an affair, I found it hard to care at all.

I think I am normally quite a nice person so I don't enjoy others' misery but I am finding it hard to sympathise with Anthea given what their history together is. I'm being horrible aren't I? I suspect I am.

I don't know their history, what is it?

I knew it. Being able to perfectly fold fitted sheets doth not a happy marriage make.

Anthea had an affair with grant Bovey whilst he was still married. He went back to his wife. Then went back to Anthea. They sold out at their wedding by advertising Cadbuty Flakes.

I find it hard to have any sympathy for Anthea Turner full stop

Oh, I do feel a bit sorry for her. Mainly because she so desperately wanted children and it never happened for her.

Although if I was Grant's ex-wife, I would probably be feeling a bit smug right now...

So, you went through all of that grief yourself and can't be sympathetic? Is that because she is a celeb you don't happen to like? Because he was married when they met?

When is someone rehabilitated enough for you to be sympathetic that something horrible has happened to them?

I am NOT a fan of AT at all, but this seems unkind :(

Posted too soon. Not not horrible OP, I kind of feel the same. Shit for her (anthea) but he is so awful and smarmy, the way he flitted between his (then) wife and her was awful.

Jesus, why do I even remember all this celeb crap?

oh, sorry, thick moment I can figure it out from your OP!

He/she/they cheated on a partner. Obviously

She can't complain considering she did the same thing to his first wife plus cheating on her husband. No sympathy here.

x-post with everyone

Well, I do have limited sympathy for someone who's happy enough to be part of a betrayal of someone and then gets it done to them.

He, however, is a total twat.

KARMA

I feel really sorry for her actually, no one ever thinks it will happen to them.
(and yes, my stbXh cheated on me, repeatedly)

Sadly, if they'll cheat with you, they'll cheat on you.

What goes around comes around.

Makes me a bad person to say this but I will look forward to when ex-h does the same to his ow. She has humiliated me with smugness and badly hurt my dts so karma is going to be good on that one and anyone else who starts a relationship by stamping over someone else. The kind of men who can do this are dogs, should have some dignity ladies.

anniewoo said what I was thinking.

I smiled reading that story this morning. There wasn't much sympathy from her when she fucked a married father of three and did the dirty on her friend, she has what she deserved.

They were both vile cheating on their Partners at the time. No sympathy for AT, what goes around comes around and all that. Seeing that Bovey is a shite business man who left a lot of people unpaid when his business went under and it was Anthea who worked hard to keep them afloat I hope she rips him a brand new arsehole and sinks him without a trace. I hope their £5 million house is in her name and she's got a good prenup.

Norks you're right, I am being unkind.

They got together when they were both married to other people, there were children involved. I suppose I just think 'now she knows how I felt'. But, I accept that's not nice, it's just hard to feel any other way.

When a man marries his mistress--he creates a vacancy................

Man who marries his mistress creates a vacancy ....

I would love to see the look on Della Boveys face just now ! She must be grinning from ear to ear , and rightly so !

Anthea has truly got her comeuppance and obviously she's not so smug now !

No sympathy from me either. She had no qualms about shagging a married man and helping to ruin his family (I know that he was primarily responsible for that, but she helped) and she had no qualms about betraying her own husband. I can't even bring myself to be all that sympathetic that she couldn't have children, although I do feel a bit ashamed of feeling that way.

KARMA indeed!

anthea can't have been with grant for very long?

If Della Bovey is a sensible person she will be more concerned about the affect this will have on her children.

Certainly if my ex split up from his wife my DS would be my only thought.

It's not healthy or wise to carry around hatred.

Grant Bovey is a weasel - a useless businessman, obsessed by the high life and materialism, who screwed over people to get their money (it seems).

What beggars belief is why 2 attractive, moderately successful, seemingly intelligent women would bother with him?

Just, why???????????

His kids are supporting her though which is very telling....

Della Bovey has done "the dirty" on her new husband so?
