To think Matt Hancock and that Gina woman are a disgrace?

Going off for a romantic break and making sure the paps were tipped off so we can all see how ‘together’ they are. Talk about rubbing his wife and her husbands noses in it. She looks unbelievably smug as well! What a piece of work she is.

Take that back… have just checked out the rooms! Looks like a youth hostel!

As high as your horse maybe? You make it sound as if no one on MN separates/divorces/LTBs ever ever ever if they have children.

I have the seemingly unfashionable opinion that cheating on your spouse and kids is morally wrong. People should have the guts to leave if they want to be with someone else, rather than hurt people by having an affair. If that makes me 'on my high horse' so what, I'm ok with that.

And I’ll probably get flamed for this but I don’t care. I can’t get over how rough and haggard Gina she is. His wife is gorgeous. Why you’d leave her for that I’ll never know.

Bizarre comment which suggests that women are no more than their looks. You could say her husband is better looking than MH but you've not said that. As if marriages are just based on looks, what nonsense!

Whinginadeville · 02/09/2021 21:27

Your blatant misogyny is more disgraceful tbh

It’s not misogynistic to point out that someone is an unpleasant person and has behaved badly.

LaurieFairyCake · 02/09/2021 21:40

Oh god they're such scum the pair of them - 6 kids in the middle of this shit

I'm not at all invested in it but every time I hear about them I'm bloody irritated - all that carrying on by him in the middle of a pandemic while telling the rest of us what to do in such a prissy twattish way

They can both fuck right off

What’s this about? Why do you keep attacking her like this? Are you ok? This isn’t normal and healthy,

She’s a slim attractive healthy looking woman.

Marriages fail every day, for a multitude of reasons, but often due to affairs. It’s sad for those involved, but those 2 are no better nor worse than the ones we don’t read about in the red tops. I am sorry if this story involves you or triggers you, but it’s none of my business.
Yes it is worse because the whole world has seen it imagine how his wife feels she can't even come to terms in private it's all over the papers.
MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 02/09/2021 22:05

The thing for me is that if you are so much in love that you want to be together forever, then you would have already told your spouse that you wanted a divorce before the press got the footage. To do otherwise is callous. So you would never be in a position of having your hand forced by the press and having to wake your child up to tell them you were leaving.
That they didn't level with their spouses as soon as they knew this was 'love' implies to me that they were quite happy to carry on as they were, taking the callous approach and lying to people they were committed to.

Kids do suffer. Just because affairs and divorce are common, it doesn't mean that children just get over these things. And the way in which these things are managed by the adults is crucial for children's wellbeing. You can't just take a 'these things happen' attitude.

Notashandyta · 02/09/2021 22:13

Some comments on here.

Of course they're a disgrace. Just cause lots others are having affairs, doesn't make it not true in their case.

And of course its Gina woman, he's the famous one, noone know her surname!

So much bloody policing of language and missing the point entirely, or choosing the miss the point entirely...

LukeEvansWife · 02/09/2021 22:29

Yet again your misogyny is showing - ‘that’??? What have their respective looks got to do with anything? Between your username and hatred of Gina, you aren’t coming out too well yourself Hmm

Step away from the DM, it can’t be healthy to be this —obsessed— overinvested Grin

I must admit, the Daily Mail’s description of their hotel room is rather amusing. Only 11 hangers and a striped shower curtain - oh the horror!

The ex-minister and his lover, who left their respective partners to be together, checked into room 206 of the Mountain Villars Lodge under assumed names.

They had to enter their accommodation with a digital key door which had gauche patterned wallpaper around it.

Theirs was a distinctly unglamorous home for the 24 hours after booking by telephone.

Instead of some of the more glamorous residences he would have occupied as a leading figure in Her Majesty's government, Mr Hancock had to put up with plastic chairs, a tiny desk from where to do his MPs work and twin beds.

The two single beds were pushed together to allow the couple to sleep together.

Nearby was a small sink with soap offered from a plastic bottle attached to the wall. Two drinking water glasses were also placed by the sink.

Eleven wooden hangers helped them to store their clothes for the night and each had a spotlight beside them as they lay down to enable bedside reading.

Their bags or suitcases would've had to have been stored carefully under the wardrobe as floor space was limited.

Any MPs work that he had to deal with, would have been done from a tiny wooden desk with a single wooden chair placed in the corner of the tiny room and a straw basket was also offered for any unwanted documents.

Outside on the balcony, were two plastic chairs and a tiny table from which they could view the Vista and the Dents du Midi mountain.

Meanwhile the couple's single shower had a striped shower curtain and soap from a plastic container and the toilet was positioned across from the tiny shower room.

On the door was a hand-painted caricature of two trees, one with a gentlemen's trilby and another with a ladies fedora signifying that it was a unisex toilet.

You are way too invested.

"rough and haggard"? Fuck off with that.

@Pumperthepumper

It was having to wake his kid up to tell his family the affair was going to be in the press the next day. Honestly, I hope he never has a minute’s peace for the rest of his life.
Just so awful.

Children in the public eye often don't have it easy but I have no doubt that this story will have impacted them hugely.

Nsky · 02/09/2021 23:53

I feel sorry for the spouses left with kids, not them

Is that you Mrs Hancock?

They have behaved like shits, the pair of them but attacking her looks is ridiculous. She’s actually very attractive and her ex is a lot better looking than Hancock in fact

Yes.

I wonder if OP would offer up a photo of herself so we can all compare and draw important conclusions ...🤦🏻‍♀️.

Agree.

Both spouses have most likely been left with very distressed children.

They have both cheated on and publicly abandoned their children.

Just awful.

dayswithaY · 03/09/2021 09:26

All the posters being so cool about the marital dumpings - would you want to be friends with people like this?

Married Health Secretary having an affair with married colleague is newsworthy, the tabloids can't just look away. Hancock would have known this.

People trot out the line "kids are resilient" when it comes to divorce. But suddenly they're not so resilient when it comes to school friendships, parents saying no, imposing rules, expecting certain behaviours. It's better to be "gentle" in these situations but they're made of Teflon when parents walk out on them, apparently.

Yes, I know marriages end, people have affairs, I've been there. But let's not pretend it's no big deal and it's all ok. People who do this are selfish, vain and unkind.

How many of the cool people commenting here would just shrug their shoulders and say "let people be happy" if their spouse did this to them?

LukeEvansWife · 03/09/2021 09:29

So start a post ranting about anyone who is cheating. This is about MH and a poster with a misogynistic username chooses to use horrible language about someone she has never met and whose actions don’t affect her in the slightest.

OP is clearly over invested
