If your husband cheats on you it's because you've let yourself go

..and not because he's a shitty person.

According to this twit

www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/14067488/scummy-mummy-make-effort-husbands-speak-me/amp/

Carla believes many turn into “scummy mummies” who “let themselves go” after having kids.

She argued this is why some of their husbands have wandering eyes and decide to cheat by scrolling through her sexy snaps online.

The glamorous model doesn’t feel guilty about this as she blames the women themselves. She told Fabulous: “Women have let themselves go.

“I hate to say it because I’m a girl’s girl but women just give up on their looks as soon as they have children or get married"

This has made me so angry.

What are your thoughts?

@Branleuse

I imagine its totally out of context and probably not how she said it.
Probably.

And to be honest there is truth in it for both genders, plenty of posts on here from women who say their husbands have gained a lot of weight, don’t make an effort any more and they find them a turn off and have their head turned elsewhere.

For men it’s often about thr visual and the thrill, couple someone who is bogged down with kids, gained weight, no longer deals with their personal grooming and no longer wishes sex, then yes their husbands could be talking to the likes of her. It happens. All too regularly.

Both genders can go off their partners for whatever reason and look elsewhere. Women just tend to go for more of an emotional connection.

Is it ok, no of course not, does it happen, yes regularly. It’s not something she should be physically assaulted for saying for goodness sake.

“I regularly get messages telling me that they’re b**ging their wives thinking about me, they’re not afraid to admit it."

I can't work out what the missing two letters are, does anyone know or care to make a guess?

RepulsedofRedbridge · 19/02/2021 10:41

Obviously it's for publicity bad publicity id better than none if you are trying to be noticed.. To be fair this is probably true in some cases not all but men and women do stop fancying each other and look elsewhere sometimes it is because they have let themselves go sometimes not but cannot deny it does happen. Just ignore
There are always people who think and spout things others don't agree with (especially me)

The absolute most quality comment under the nose job article:
"Did she settle for a nose job because she couldn't get a head transplant?"

GOLD!
She really isn't all that, and she'll find that out herself in a few years when the only fans money stops coming in....

I think they published it on purpose knowing it would rile people up leading to more clicks/shares and so revenue. It’s the bread and butter for tabloids.

roseapothecary · 19/02/2021 10:43

She uses Beyoncé as an example of how mums dont need to let themselves go, ignoring the fact that she will have a team of people to help her with the kids and her hair and make-up...and that Beyoncé's husband cheated on her.

She is clearly hoping some scummy husbands read this and subscribe to her, justifying it to themselves because their wife gives too much attention to their children and not herself and him.

DumplingsAndStew · 19/02/2021 10:43

Giving Samantha Brick a run for her money. Anyone actually remember her?

@WhatIsThisShittt OP that's twice you've mentioned Josie Cunningham, I've never heard of her. Was she attacked in the street or something?

funnylookingwoman · 19/02/2021 10:47

yeah, cos she is just so pretty! Grin

Men leave vain, vacuous nobodies like this! Nothing to do with clothes or hair

Wetalkedaboutthis · 19/02/2021 10:48

Banging, of course but why would they have to use asterisks? Considering the whole article is a masterpiece of vulgarity and poor taste it seems a little strange to censor that.

Goodness knows 😂 it’s a crude expression but yes the whole article is.

This horribly taps into something for me.

My husband left me almost 2 years ago (20 years, 2 kids) and one of the reasons he gave was that I’d let myself go. 😞

I have of course since learned of the ‘The Script’ and managed to pull myself slowly out of the utter shock and devastation.

I’ve been very fortunate as my close friends constantly assured me it was all on him and that I’d done nothing wrong. But I needed constant reassurance of this. I felt such terrible shame and still struggle with it occasionally.

[quote MacDuffsMuff]@WhatIsThisShittt OP that's twice you've mentioned Josie Cunningham, I've never heard of her. Was she attacked in the street or something?[/quote]
She did something very similar to this woman, blagged free surgery on the NHS then went on tv and to the papers bragging about it and saying things like how she'd aborted a baby so she could focus on her dream of being famous and going on big brother. Later on she tried to sell tickets to the birth of a subsequent baby.

She received death threats and was harassed in the street, she ended up getting taxis funded by the local authority to take her children to school.

@MacDuffsMuff
Josie Cunningham is a lady who is ‘famous’ for having a boob job on the nhs
She then bragged about it-flashing them on the way causing a lot of grief as the nhs couldn’t afford to pay for her tits
She ended up pregnant-I think she did a poll on should she have an abortion and refused to breastfeed because ‘it’s incest’
I think there was some crap about her refusing to catch public transport as well-it’s a while ago and I didn’t really follow it in the media but remember bits as my ex got really wound up about her at the time

What possible reason could he have had to lie and blame it on you? 😏 Don’t blame yourself or feel any shame Flowers
Sparklesocks · 19/02/2021 10:58

There’s often stories like this in tabloids, people (usually women) who aren’t in the public eye but get printed for saying something outrageous and often slagging off other people along the way (usually women) in the process - Samantha Brick did it with her beauty as one pp mentioned, there was also an unemployed woman a few years back who got a boob job on the NHS and did lots of inflammatory interviews about how she deserved them and she wanted more surgery paid by the taxpayer too. I remember another who boasted that she had a favourite child which created a lot of anger.

Obviously these people are looking for a quick pay day and attention, and saying shocking things is easy. The media knows it stirs people up too and so is happy to give them a platform. They probably even encourage them what to say and stir it up further. But I do wonder if they look back and wonder if it’s worth it, surely the attention and comparatively small payment (compared to whatever the publication makes off ad revenue etc) is worth having so much vitriol directed at you. Feels like you’re ever absolutely desperate or have no idea what you’re letting yourself in for.

ItsJackieWeaverBitch · 19/02/2021 10:58

Don’t get angry with her- ignore that shit and scroll on by that hurts her and those like her far more. Zero attention. If you don’t click on the articles the sites like the scum will get the message and won’t bother with her again. Same with Katie Hopkins. The news sites don’t care if it’s genuine interest or outrage clicks- they all count and all give them their revenue and publicity seeking cunts like this stupid pointless woman the attention they crave.

WhatIsThisShittt · 19/02/2021 11:00

Pic attatched.

It's disgusting that somebody would attack a woman for having an abortion and I feel incredibly sorry for her in that sense, but it's her selling stories and being provocative in the media that lead to things like this happening.

She was purposely being inflammatory and unfortunately there are people out there who will do things like this.
