She's now plummeted to the same level in my eyes; playing out her relationship for the media... and they have a child.

No moral high ground there at all; it's lost. From having every woman (or at least 90%) on her 'side', she now has far fewer. I think she's a tacky as he is now and people are laughing at her lack of dignity whereas, however unfair this is, his transregressions will soon be forgotten.

No man ever Clarty? Shock Hmm

I know plenty who have left relationship without a 'replacement' lined up.

May I suggest you improve your social circle if this is absolutely true.

Why is he tweeting pics of his romantic evening with his new woman, he must have an ulterior motive for doing that, and why is the other woman tweeting about anything to do with him when she knows that he has a wife and child on their own and suffering, they are the twats, good on her I say.

I don't understand the tweet of an empty plate, what is the significance of that?

She seems a bit of a bunny boiler stalking him around the internet

And he tweeted a pic of his (not both of their) dinner plates and i can see nothing to indicate it was a romantic date in his tweet.

I contacted OW just the once. I invited her to think on an article which describes infidelity as abuse and it is classified as domestic violence, that if the OW knows he is married and has children then she is actively participating in the emotional and sexual abuse of other people.

That although nothing can be seen, the betrayed spouse is actually black and blue.

She probably deleted it, but I just wanted her to think about it.

I suspect to show he has had dinner with his bit on the side.

A plate with food on it would at least be marginally interesting (I love to cook) but not his left overs!

Alexandra - if I knew how to tweet I would be telling you you are better than him and very funny. Just be careful not to come across as bitter (though obviously you have ever right to be imo since your husband has fucked off with someone else.)

cantspel - you can clearly see 2 plates and 2 red wine glasses.

you can see one plate in the centre of the picture, 2 half full wine glasses , a water glass, a bread plate and the edge of another plate with a knife and fork.
I cant see how anyone from that picture thinks romantic date as there is nothing in it to indicate who he has had diner with or why. He could have been having diner with his mum for all i know or care.

Why is everyone obsessed witg dignified silence for the woman?

Was ph dignified in tweeting his date pictures?

Was the ow dignified when she posted a stupid photo of herself waiting for her om?

Why cant a woman poke fun if she wants to? It's all a bit pathetic. I hate that women cant even take the mick without being called bitter.

Even if she is bitter, so? It is all pretty fresh and raw and they haven't exactly been discreet. His statement was all about protecting his son yet he is all over Twitter parading his new gf around.

would be scoffing at them too

He has behaved like an utter arse but her posting responses to his tweets and ow's makes her look bitter, it shouldn't matter as under the circumstances who wouldn't be, but she will be the one that will get labelled for it as women often do whilst he will escape relatively unscathed. I'm of the take the high road and take him to the cleaners school of thought. Btw the ow isn't a patch on his wife.

Fuck that. She has done nothing wrong and just because people have been labelled bitter before doesn't mean we should accept it. Things have to change.

Well I think he was a complete disrespectful arse for posting the 'dinner date for two' pics .

If it made her feel better then good on her!

I think the majority of people can see that she has been wronged by his MLC behaviour and is bound to be on an emotional journey whether it be hurt/anger/upset/betrayal/hatred/whatever.

I can't understand how he managed to persuade one woman to shag him, let alone two.

He makes my flesh crawl.

I don't really understand Twitter, does this mean she 'follows' her ex? Or, could someone have forwarded the pics to her?
I wouldn't want to follow an ex...

I don't think the parody pictures are funny, just bit lame. Surely it would be better to show everyone what a fabulous time you were having without him via the medium of Twitter. (Even if you weren't really)

He posted a knobbish picture of an empty plate from a dinner he had obviously shared with his slapper. Insensitive and pathetic much ? (And I say that as someone who used to think he was amazing!)

I think his wifes replies are HILARIOUS. The paraody picture is ace. I'd have to downgrade my look so much to pose as OW that I just couldn't face it Wink

Seriously, I think ranting, screaming and being openly hostile (although justified) are best avoided. But she's doing none of that. It does my head in when people who have been cheated on are called to account for their behaviour. Save your criticism for the lying cheats who have ripped a family apart.

And I'm going to sign up to Twitter just to follow her Grin Go Team Alexandra!

He shouldn't be rubbing her nose in his infidelity by posting pictures of 2 empty dinner plates.

She's every right to respond if she wants to, I think her responses make him look like an even dafter twat than he is, so that's ok with me.

I don't understand why people are making "bitter" sound worse than "lying, cheating bastard".

What's wrong about feeling bitter when you've been cheated by the father of your child and your marriage has come to an abrupt public end?

I think I'd feel very bitter if DH behaved like PH.

I do,think he'll carry on with Bake Off as the programme isn't 'him' iykwim, but I very much doubt he'll be selling very many baking books. Everyone I know thinks he's ruined his career.

Found it quite funny tbh. Perhaps poking fun is her way of coping, and there is plenty to poke fun at. PH is a bellend!

I always remember someone on a thread describing PH as a 'fat tom cat strutting around' - it really caught him, for me and that is how I picture him.

Better to be bitter than an arrogant cheat, I say.

The former Mrs Fattywood has shot up in my estimation.

I bet she is a MNer. She seems funny and a bit of a sarky cow. Therefore, I like her.

I don't see why she should have to take it lying down. She has done fuck all wrong. If she wants to take the piss out of the fat, bronzed, artery-clogged buffoon and his chipmunkish new bit of skirt then good for her.

Did anyone see the TV advert for his Baking show, a few months ago?

He said that kneading bread was good for getting rid of 'bingo wings'.

I thought he was a cheeky, crusty, cunty bastard for saying that. Not sure why, it just have me the rage.

Poppy 'cos some people seem to think women being 'bitter' is just the worst thing ever. I'm not sure why. Sometimes it's quite normal to feel bitter over bad treatment, I think.
