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 reckon that Grant Bovey would shag a warm pair of tights down a dark alley. Anthea really made a bad choice when she hooked up with him - she fell for him hook, line and sinker and it has just brought her misery. He's a greedy, untrustworthy shagger.

They say you can't build a happy life on other people's misery and their story is a prime example.

Mrs Totally perfectly folded towels has tripped up. Ah well there's hope for slatterns everywhere. Grin

he is vile - why did people, including her, trust such an untrustworth person with their money. Amazes me.

No sympathy at all for her. Didn't she bang on a few years ago (maybe more) about how they were scraping the bottom of the barrel, even though she claimed they only had £X million in the bank, or something?
