#breadbotherer do you think it would "trend" Grin

PoppyAmex · 30/06/2013 19:44

euphemism I don't think she made the reference to small people; it was a friend who replied to her tweet

"She isn't the one who ballsed up her marriage to run off with a Disney woodland creature." Grin

Lizzylou · 30/06/2013 19:45

I think he's got off lightly.
Bet that "woodland creature" (good one) has as much sense of humour as a brick.
Bloody good for soon to be ex Mrs H.

ExcuseTypos · 30/06/2013 19:46

Thisis, it was her friend who referred to the pint sized one, not Alexadra.

ExcuseTypos · 30/06/2013 19:47

Sorry didn't see your post Poppy.

Thisisaeuphemism · 30/06/2013 19:47

Ah - she's done well to resist!

MarmaladeTwatkins · 30/06/2013 19:51

Alexandra, if you're reading, PM me.

I have some great, but legal, revenge tips.

Why slebs and slebs by proxy feel the need to wash their dirty laundry in public whilst leaving a permanent online fingerprint is beyond me sometimes. In her case, I see from her Twitter bio she's an occasional foodie writer so maybe this is part of a P.R campaign to get her own book deal (because we all need yet another cookbook, don't we?).

So tacky and undignified. She is a walking embarrassment who should be thinking more of her son. Grow up, love.

ReturnofSaturn · 30/06/2013 19:53

Dignified silence is best of course, she probably knows that herself too.

But people are human beings with feelings and sometimes, in the moment, that can go out the window when you are out of your head with grief/rage/heartbreak etc.

ExcuseTypos · 30/06/2013 19:58

She's not a walking embarrassment South, she's made a comment about a public photo and posed for a very funny photo. What embarrassing about that?

timidviper · 30/06/2013 19:58

I imagine that, when you are in the public eye, being quiet and dignified can feel like being a doormat. Being silent on it does seem like letting him have his bread cake and eat it.

He made his choice to have an affair, she is entitled to respond as she sees fit and, unless it is harming anybody else, it is not for the rest of us to criticise. I imagine, if their son is going to be teased or picked on, it is likely to be for having a father run off in such a public way, rather than for this.

ClartyCarol · 30/06/2013 20:05

I suspect she's just feeding his monstrous ego with all this. He'll be all smug and pompous "You know, she really needs to move on, but it's almost like she's obsessed with me. What can I do? "

Don't imagine he's worrying one little bit.

And Jacqueline Hyde - my social circle is just dandy, thanks. Not sure about your social skills though.

MissStrawberry · 30/06/2013 20:06

I can't believe all the shit being spouted about MrsH not being dignified and looking daft. It is bollocks. How exactly is she looking daft? She is letting the world know she is hurting as her husband has fucked off whereas HE gets off scot free when he has been cheating on his wife ffs

He is the one in the wrong. He cheated. She hasn't done anything wrong but I am sure she thinks it is all worth it when her book sells? Bloody hell.

KirjavaTheCat · 30/06/2013 20:07

Imo if you're gonna be 'undignified', you may as well be funny while you're at it. I'd feel less humiliated if I took control of how I was being perceived in her situation.

Beats crying in public.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 30/06/2013 20:14

Hmmmm, all of this "she's an embarrassment" stuff really riles me up.

It's victim-blaming. Pinning the responsibility for the man's shitty behaviour on the woman. Like when a man is being violent to his partner, "why doesn't she just leave him?" Huh? Why doesn't HE leave HER? "Why doesn't SHE stop embarrassing herself on Twatter?" Why doesn't HE stop flaunting his relationship with the OW on Twatter? If anyone is embarrassing themselves, it's PH and his new bird. Posting pictures of herself looking like a twelve year old playing dress-up "waiting patiently" for her date with a man whose marriage she helped to break up. THAT is undignified. HIM posting pictures of his empty plate from the meal he just shared with his OW. THAT is embarrassing.

The onus really isn't on the ex-wife here to be dignified...

Southeastdweller · 30/06/2013 20:23

So you all are privy to what went on then, are you? You know exactly why they broke up?

ExcuseTypos · 30/06/2013 20:26

No I don't expect anyone knows that South.

We do know he's a twat though.

flippinada · 30/06/2013 20:37

Without knowing either party involved, I think it's entirely fair to say that PH has behaved like a monumental arse.

MissStrawberry · 30/06/2013 20:37
MarmaladeTwatkins · 30/06/2013 20:40

Well, his wife says on Twitter "Soon to be a member of the First Wives Club"

For those of you who haven't seen the film, it's about women who've been dumped for younger models...

JaquelineHyde · 30/06/2013 21:34

Sorry if I offended you Clarty but you did say that every man you had ever know that had left a relationship had had a replacement already lined up.

I am truly shocked and quite saddened by that and if I was you (which I'm not and you are probably glad of that) I would be looking to extend my social circle because by the sounds of it the only men you know/have know are cunts and that is never a good thing.
