As we know, men have affairs because of sex and underwear... its the woman's fault

The bit about wanting 'to stay as much as I can like the girl that Matthew married' is very sad.

Yes, I obviously loved my DH when I married him but I love him more now because of the man he's become. I think he loves the woman I've become too. That's what marriage is isn't it?

[DosDuchas]

its not very Buddhist, is it?

[YouTheCat]

Any 47 year old woman who describes herself as a 'girl' needs a slap... in the face... with her matching bra and pants.

[Greythorne]

My experience of DMC was that she treated everyone as if they were a contestant on BB. Exhausting. And tedious. No idea how she keeps it up.

[DosDuchas]

i loved her on street mate...remember that?
always going on about her bum in a fun way

[sebsmummy1]

Anyone watch Long Lost Families? God I bawl my eyes out to that pretty much from 10 mins in to the end, every berluddy time. She is lovely to the families I think. Sincerely warm. Not sure about Nicki Campbell though

[DownWithThisTypeOfThing]

Yes I loved street mate - brilliant!

[DosDuchas]

But Nicky does the research. We see him

[DosDuchas]

Would be interested to hear how the newspaper report of what she said was SO utterly different.

waves at Davina's agent

[DosDuchas]

Lol at sycophantic facebook posts

[FatAli]

Emergency backtrack for damage limitation.

[DosDuchas]

remind me why i want to download her autograph? someone on twitter suggested cheque fraud

[ihatethecold]

Oh dear!

[BeCool]

She seems to think very little of her husband doesn't she?

Or perhaps she's married to an old school chauvinist

[taleoftwosatellites]

Haha she's read the thread!

She's seen what some people who've met her in RL think of her too feel a bit sorry for her now.

[Wagglebee]

Her explanation is fine. If the original article had been worded like that I wouldn't have commented.

But a man having 'strong views' on his wife's choice of underwear and her use of the word 'exhausted' when talking about sex both stood out as odd and slightly worrying tbh.

[GatoNaranja]

I have a friend like this.

Her father screwed around while her mother turned the other cheek. All very stiff upper lip and never discussed. V wealthy, dis functional family. Friend's mother would constantly bang on to friend that it was essential to keep her man happy, to get back into shape after childbirth etc... I even have heard rumours to indicate that dear friend was pressured into having a nose job at some point.

As she grew up, under critical scrutiny by her mother and aloofness from her dominating father, she learned that the only way to succeed was to marry well and hold on to her man at all costs.

Friend is deeply insecure. All the signs: bangs on about her marriage, bangs on about their sex life, deeply jealous of her (very sweet and lovely) dh. Assumes all women are after him (snort). Sees other woman as a competition. All a bit tragic really.

She constantly makes references to being there to service her dh, who seems to want sex every day, and really doesn't think she has anything much to offer him

[MrsTedCrilly]

Ugh that is just grim.. Talking like her husband is a dog waiting to be tempted elsewhere. Yes some men are like that.. not the good ones though. They'll love us in our Bridget Jones knickers!

[stareatthetvscreen]

i'm gobsmacked that so many of you think she is worth listening to


as a pp said - she is not the sharpest tool in the box

[fancyanotherfez]

Her explanation is completely removed from what she's originally said! If it bore even a passing resemblance to the original point, nobody would have batted an eyelid -oh yeah that was thepoint-- .She vprobably said it, them backtracked so much she forgotvwhatvshw originally said!

[pettywitchinlondon]

She hasn't tried to explain what she said or if it was taken out of context, so looks like it was all true.

She's said loads of dodgy things about her relationship if you google.

Silly bint. I know bow at the manaj church

[Greythorne]

Her 'explanation' is, ahem, a tad trite. As I said, not the sharpest tool in the box.

I love the faux coyness (i can't believe I am discussing this! and stay intimate). Obviously not a MNer.

Saying she wears matching undies for me without any further explanation makes no sense. I wear non-matching undies for me. I wear everything for me because going out without undies it clothes would leave me feeling vulnerable and silly.

And if every single woman she knows feels the same way about staying intimate, why bother to talk about it? If it is that self-evident, I hardly think the Telegraph would be publishing it as a sleb nugget. I do feel sorry for her because if it's true, it means she is surrounded by women who don't feel they can ever say no to their partners and that normalisation of sexual expectation sliding into entitlement is grim and oppressive.

(and why does she write every sentence with ellipses?..... )

[twistletonsmythe]

I don't think the explanation is really sufficient tbh. Stay intimate - well what if you don't. Does that mean you aren't 'working' at your marriage. It shouldn't really be work should it. Or is that the word people use when they are clinging onto a failing relationship.
