Too think that the Hollywoods on Lorraine were a bit cringeworthy??

Paul Hollywoods wife has just been on ITV Lorraine doing a cookery slot, Paul then appeared and tasted the food, I was a bit Hmm
He was shagging someone else not long ago, if I was her I'd keep off TV for a bit to try and sort my life out, I bet Lorraine was desperate to ask them about his philandering!
Just found it all abit cringy

Oh dear. So sorry that you went through all that Ledkr. How awful too for your children. I think some people have an ability to put their life in compartments and not look back at damage done. Poor little mites.

When my OH left - it was a complete shock. There was no one else involved but yes, if he had come back and gone through counselling as I suggested, it would have been better all round. It would have been either a gentler end or a chance to understand. As it is, we never had any answers and my DD still refuses to see him. She is quite ill now - mentally and some physical effects. At sixteen she doesn't have her periods and she has to have sleeping tablets. Now he is forcing us to sell our home. He's a real poppet.

I don't know if PH has talent - but it was cynically done. If he had been a sweaty baker rather than a twinkly blue-eyed silver fox as they saw it, he would not have been put forward for TV. Not a fan of selfish men. I had one and glad to be rid of him.

maybe that was the deal: I'll take you back if you promote my career

DumSpiroSperHoHoHo · 06/01/2014 11:51

I take very little notice of PH, other than thinking he's a massive prat, but do feel it's a bit unfair to have a pop at his Mrs.

If PH is anything like my (chef) DH, he probably doesn't know where to find a saucepan at home and she's had plenty of practice in the kitchen!

Admittedly my gut reaction would have been though.

Sorry about that punk
How awful for you both.
My friends ex tried to get her to sell up by suggesting her 16 and 18 yr olds no longer needed a family home, what happens to them?
My ex sat and cried when we had our dd then 8 months later he was off like a shot!
It's affected them all in some way, none of the are great achievers which I think stems from self confidence and ds3 gave up on a promising dance career.
We a real all ok though, tell your dd my dad is now 70 and suddenly wants a relationship with me but I can't be arsed after years of not bothering.
I've had a very productive life without him and as I've got older his lack of involvement has bothered me less and less.
I hope she can find peace eventually.

Nobody is popping at her dum it was just a tad cringed watching them on tv after everything and talking about having family time around the meal table.

Ds is a chef but can't butter a slice of bread at home Grin

DumSpiroSperHoHoHo · 06/01/2014 12:23

Fair play Ledkr - I didn't see it would have put me off my cornflakes and tbh Tana Ramsey et all jumping on the bandwagon as people have mentioned upthread is a bit Hmm

Doesn't mean they can't cook though Wink!

PH behaved like a bastard and she is clearly allowed to be furious, disgusted and whatever else. Taking the piss on Twitter was not IMHO the best way to deal with it when you have kids who might be affected by it. So tbh I'm not sure i like either of them much and I feel sorry for their son.

I would think that it takes some guts to go on television after a affair may be too its therapeutic for wife, as its putting two fingers up to ow. Saying were ok now. I couldn't do it though!
I agree with the views that when kids are involved you stay together to keep the kids sanity and stability, unfortunately at the cost of your own sanity.
I really hate the fact though that these high profile men are getting away with it again! They have their fun but its the poor wife who has to live with the consequences of the affair for ever.
I for one wont watch Paul in whatever program he is on now. I cant stand the smugness of him having his cake and eating it..

Ledkr · 06/01/2014 13:26

Not always the case though mrshap absolutely no benefits in staying together if both or one will be unhappy.

Divorce does definitely affect children but staying together isn't always the right thing to do.
I would have been thoroughly miserable and depressed to stay with my ex after he had disrespected me so hugely and this would in turn have impacted upon my children.
Instead, I made a life for myself and continued to offer the dc a stable life with a happy confident parent.
