To feel a bit sorry for Robbie Williams’ wife Ayda?

Not a huge fan of hers as she bought her last baby from a poorer woman but he sounds like an arse who dictates when they have sex according to this

https://uk.style.yahoo.com/robbie-williams-ayda-field-how-often-have-sex-094415256.html

So when he was on testosterone they had sex all the time and were ‘insatiable’ but now he’s off that they’re both apparently cool with their sex life being dead? And ‘everyone knows’ married couples don’t have sex anyway?

Robbie Williams and Ayda Field say they hardly ever have sex and ‘cuddle’ instead

Robbie Williams has discussed his sex life with wife Ayda Field revealing the reasons the couple hardly get intimate.

I felt sorry for her when that clip came out of him being Robbie Williams while she was in labour.

Me too, can you imagine having that idiot in the room when you're in that kind of pain?

They both repeatedly state in the article how happy they are with each other, and they are both happy to share these intimate details, so not getting where you see the issue?

This! Not all couples have sex or want sex 🤷 as long as they’re both happy i can’t see a problem.

Kvetching · 26/04/2023 19:07

If they’re both ‘on the same page’, as they say in this interview, I can’t see an issue.

Several of my friends admit to having only a sporadic sex life.

Boughtitdownthemarket · 26/04/2023 19:09

I mean...she married him when he's obviously a massive twat. But that video of him dancing when she was in labour... I would divorce the

3luckystars · 26/04/2023 19:09

you are right and I apologise, I should not have said that as I don’t know them. I was just thinking it’s following the same pattern as other celebrity couple stories, they come out with a story like this, then renew the vows and then break up. I think with young children and a high profile life, they have enough pressure on them besides coming out with a story like this. Sorry if I jumped the gun with my comment about them heading for a split, I was mean if me and I’m sorry, I don’t know them and hope they work it out as they have children. Sorry again. I regret posting that.

LongAway · 26/04/2023 19:16

He would suck all the air out of the room.

Needy narcs are hard work.

The brain damage he did to those babies born via surrogacy and his presence isn't going to help them in life.

Tbh I feel sorry for her because he is clearly gay.

I’m sure she’s aware and enjoys the benefits of that marriage enough to pretend.

slashlover · 26/04/2023 19:27

Can the people who say they think he's gay please explain why? Hopefully without stereotyping.

TulipsandButterflies · 26/04/2023 19:28

What makes you think he is gay?

She must, at the very least, suspect; she doesn't strike me as naive. So either shes okay with it, or she's mastered denial.

How is that different to any other couple? I mean loads of women have lower libidos after childbirth or during perimenopause and no one calls them 'an arse who dictates when they have sex'

It's different to my relationship for sure.

Stereotypes are based on truth. I know we're not meant to acknowledge that, but i'm going to acknowledge it (purely for the purposes of this discussion).

Wow, he's had a lot of women partners if so.

Has he ever had male partners

She was a D list actress and he’s worth millions, she’ll be fine.

So what are the stereotypes of gay people then? How do you stereotype a quarter of a million people (in England and Wales according to the 2021 census)?

'bought her last baby from a poorer woman' what a horrible phrase to use. Surrogacy is a valid choice for women, both as the surrogates and the receiving mother.

Also, I'm sure if she wanted more sex he'd give it. Most likely, like many mums her age including myself she's happy now his rampant sex drive has quietened down somewhat.

Weird that not many wealthy women make the totally valid choice to be a surrogate for a stranger.

🤡 Stop acting dense. There are people who are obviously gay and behave in an effeminate way. I know you’re going to pretend this isn’t the case and clutch your pearls that I’m stating the obvious.

Why are you infantilising women who make that choice? Surely it’s their decision if they’d rather be a surrogate than work a job they hate. These women aren’t kidnapped and chained to a radiator you know.

By the way I don’t think Robbie is gay but lets not pretend there aren’t people who obviously present as gay.

'How do you stereotype a quarter of a million people'

Well, clearly you can't.
Personally, i'm deducing on averages and likelihood thereof.

Show quote history

Ah, gay men = effeminate because there are no effeminate straight men or butch gay men.

Also, calling my dense because I'm aware that not all gay men are the same and that the effeminate stereotype was used to undermine gay men, make them feel less than and other them. Now tell us about lesbian stereotypes and heterosexual stereotypes.

Americano75 · 26/04/2023 19:54

I don't think he's gay either. I once saw a clip of him eyeing up a girl in the room, pointing her out to one of his minders and telling him to bring her backstage for him.

LongAway · 26/04/2023 19:56

I didn't call RB gay.

I am intrigued how people think gay people found each other before dating apps?
