That's actually tragic.

mimibunz · 05/02/2019 18:20

Yeesh. She’s insecure.

Shoxfordian · 05/02/2019 18:20

I think its supposed to be a joke but the sentiment is fairly horrifying plus the grammar is wrong.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 05/02/2019 18:21

No, because I know the difference between your and you’re —and I’m not controlling and insecure—

newnameforthis7 · 05/02/2019 18:22

'If YOUR reading this' LOL!

ScreamingValenta · 05/02/2019 18:23

I would never allow my husband to wear a t-shirt including grammatical errors! Grin

Bombardier25966 · 05/02/2019 18:23

If it was serious it would be coercive control, imagine if this was a man telling a woman what to wear.

But it's not. She's some wannabe celeb who will do anything to get attention.

GiBlues · 05/02/2019 18:23

She’s got serious problems.
But I don’t get why when a woman does this it’s all laughs and jokes in the newspaper but if a man did this he’d be labelled a controlling arsehole.

Bluelady · 05/02/2019 18:24

Only if I wanted to advertise that I was illiterate.

CalmDownPacino · 05/02/2019 18:24

I'm sure this is just a way to get five minutes of "fame". However, no I wouldn't expect any partner to wear something as ridiculous as this. Very controlling.

Ktay · 05/02/2019 18:25

She’s going to give herself a crick in her neck if that’s how she looks at people.

Seriously though, poor bloke Sad

DorothyZbornak · 05/02/2019 18:25

Karl love, take your balls back out of her handbag.

DadDadDad · 05/02/2019 18:27

I did laugh at the social media response, with someone posting a message for the boyfriend: "karl blink twice if you’re being held against your will". Grin

He doesn't look too happy in the photo.

ThreadKillerSleepsInaCoil · 05/02/2019 18:34

Oh dear. Like GiBlues, I wonder how the reverse would go??

Grammatical errors aside, if you can't trust your partner that much, maybe there's a bigger problem... or you're desperate for publicity

you could always get your selfie tattooed on his backside

Apologies for dodgy typing, fat fingers have a lot to answer for Blush

19lottie82 · 05/02/2019 18:37

I think it might be a joke people. Calm down.

MashedSpud · 05/02/2019 18:47

She’s looking up at him like “You’ll be safe now won’t you babe?” His face is saying “The lads will kill me.”

CatnissEverdene · 05/02/2019 18:59

Oh dear.

He's a brave lad.

GummyGoddess · 05/02/2019 19:00

I can see if he were my friend I would be attempting to get as many women as possible to give him a hug so I could take a photo and then make a huge collage. Probably not what she's going for Grin

ReanimatedSGB · 05/02/2019 19:04

I hope it's sort of a joke, but I think it's likely that, even if it's being presented as one, she is abusive. He probably lets her have her own way, not because he's scared of violence but because she turns on the tears, or just never shuts up until he submits. That's still abuse, and it may well escalate to threats, or slapping, or damaging his belongings if he doesn't obey, or answers back or something...

MissLanesAmericanCousin · 05/02/2019 19:06

Christ almighty, that's gross!

She's an idiot for feeling the need to go through this dog and pony show and he's an idiot for being either the dog or the pony.

Either way, these two prize oiks deserve each other!

I feel sorry for any children they may have in the future though. Blegh!

SerenDippitty · 05/02/2019 19:07

Even as a joke it’s a bit off.

'If I was here' is setting my teeth on edge, quite apart from how ridiculous it makes her (and him) look.

Itsnotme123 · 05/02/2019 19:09

Watch out for the thumb print appearing on his forehead. His face says “get me away from this crazy woman”

Sallygoroundthemoon · 05/02/2019 19:10

This is abusive. Poor bloke.

CoughLaughFart · 05/02/2019 19:11

Another orange gob desperate for attention. She’s also overestimating how many people will be checking out ‘her man’.
