DM Link sorry.

Why shouldn't she? He's been an arse and deserves it.

Yama · 30/06/2013 13:53

I am not going to click on a DM link. Can you summarise? I am intreagued.

NoSnowJustSand · 30/06/2013 13:56

I find him irritating. I don't think I would be posting things on twitter about my ex though.

Sparklingbrook · 30/06/2013 13:56

Basically she has been on Twitter making sarcy comments and taking the mick out of PH's new alleged girlfriend.

He has been an arse but I think dignified silence is always best.

If it makes her feel better then good for her. She's not the one in the wrong there.

Sparklingbrook · 30/06/2013 13:57

I know Hoppus but she it just doesn't seem right, He knows it's winding her up for a start.....

Difficult. It seems petty and playground-ish. But unless someone has sent her the pic why would she follow him and his new woman on twitter? And respond in what seems an undignified manner. Or as its the Dm it's probably not what it seems at all Grin

Sparklingbrook · 30/06/2013 13:58

Well there is that 41 you can never tell with the DM.

And I didn't mean Yo in the thread title either.

Thanks for the summary. I didn't even notice the Yo but I like it.

Tabliope · 30/06/2013 14:01

It would be tempting but better for the sake of their 11 year old child one of the parents acts with some dignity rather than playing this out in the public domain.

AmberLeaf · 30/06/2013 14:05

Good for her.

He deserves derision just for tweeting a pic of his dinner for a start!

Sparklingbrook · 30/06/2013 14:06

Well he is being a huge arse obviously but she doesn't need to join in. And he does nowt for me

I think Alexandra is rather humerous about it all.

FayeKorgasm · 30/06/2013 14:08

It must be appalling to have your marriage break up in such a public way and then to see your XH start another relationship and have it plastered all over the press. I'm not sure how that would make anyone respond.

Personally, I would hope I could stay silent, but under that amount of stress, I just don't know.

I'm sure that one day she will be grateful to be shot of him!

Sparklingbrook · 30/06/2013 14:09

I would stop looking at his Twitter

OP posts:
AmberLeaf · 30/06/2013 14:10

Humorous?

CalamityKate · 30/06/2013 14:11

I think it's quite funny, especially the one where she parodies the photo of the OW! Grin

If that's how she feels she wants to handle it then good for her.

I'd bet good money that he'll end up trying to grovel his way back, once the OW sees the light and dumps him. I hope the wife tells him where to go; she would seem to have more class in her little finger than the OW has in her whole body.

AmberLeaf · 30/06/2013 14:13

Its not just twitter though is it?

We are looking at this 'story' without the need to go on twitter.

Juniperdewdropofbrandy · 30/06/2013 14:15

Makes her sound very bitter which she must be but I wouldn't give them the satisfaction. The photo mockery is very silly.

I still think his new midget looks like a chipmunk though

squoosh · 30/06/2013 14:16

Hmmmm, I can understand how massively tempting it must be for her to make a swipe, she must still be so heartbroken, but do I think that a dignified silence is the best way to go in these matters. In the company of her friends she should take the piss as much as she likes.

He really is an arse.

Chottie · 30/06/2013 14:18

I'm in the dignified silence camp too. Do Paul H and his ex wife have children?

SilverOldie · 30/06/2013 14:18

IMO he has gone from being adored and admired, not just for his baking skills to being an utter plonker and considered to be a stupid fool.

As for his wife, she has more class in her little finger and who could begrudge her for a little slip.

expatinscotland · 30/06/2013 14:22

And? She's an adult, she can as she pleases. Rick Stein's ex threw a drink over and slapped her husband's 'ho. Then she got a very good lawyer :).

Sparklingbrook · 30/06/2013 14:24

I know expat. It's just my first reaction was 'nooo don't do that, don't even let him know you have seen it' IYKWIM. Don't give the stupid arse the time of day.

I believe they have a son. Sad
