Eamonn Holmes -reap what you sow

[RosePetalsRose]

Just want to say that I love Eamonn Holmes so it's not a bashing thread. Just an observation.

I was thinking about his ex wife and children. He left his young family as his career was more important.
He met (allegedly after they split) this beautiful younger attractive exciting Ruth. Got with her.
But now what does he have? He has ailing health and no wife to be with him in sickness and in health?
Who knows if he had made an effort and put his first family first rather than his career he could have been with someone who would have loved and cared for him in his old age.

It's quite sad.

What's he done to his face? Looks plastic

He also apparently contemplated in detail Ruth getting run over by a bus. Charming.

@RosePetalsRose

It's sad because now he has ill health the first wife would would have probably been there for him and looked after him.
It's just life I guess.

Well that's a might assumption. You assume the first wife would have been done perfect domestic goddess. The marriage failed. Like many many marriages. Why are you evangelising the first marriage/wife? What's your agenda? You are attributing some fairy tale quality to his first marriage when in all likelihood it was like many marriages, flawed.

There is no karma situation here.

Hahaaaa possibly. Because at least it would then make sense. As it is, it just is a weird weird thread.

He was a cantankerous old git before he became unwell so I’d imagine he’s very hard to live with now. He was absolutely vile to her many a time on the telly so maybe she’s had enough of him?

I’m disabled and live with chronic pain. Keeping a happy marriage is difficult but I don’t ever expect DH to stay here out of duty or because of the vows we made 30yrs ago. If it’s over, it’s over (hopefully it never will be) just like it would be for any other couple.

Nothing wrong with it, but it means he’s not a genuinely nice person. And that’s okay, I’m also not someone who would be described as nice 🤣

But statistically, he would have broken up with his ex wife anyway and so she probably wouldn’t be looking after him.

And OP you are implying he’d be better off without his child with Ruth. You’re not saying it, but the inference is clear … you think he should’ve give up his career and stayed with his first wife who would now look after him. There’s no way that scenario plays out and he has a child with Ruth.

He was unpleasant. His job was people and being interested in them and their stories, but he clearly didn't like them. He was empty and cold.

I always remember when they had Kellie J and India willoughby on their show. They all ganged up on Kellie J but she wiped the floor with them. That's when I thought they're not very good journalists, EH was particularly bad with his "as a man" shtick.

This is either his ex wife or PS

Yep, this.

Yep

I was just having a discussion.

@DaisyHaites I do apologise if that's how it came across. I really was not meaning to infer that at all.
So sorry you took it that way.

Or maybe someone just having an open discussion.

No sorry it's not.

I'm not gaslighting anyone. That is a sting and unnecessary term to use. I was just having a discussion.

But neither do you. Im just going by what was in the press as do most people.

I doubt his first wife has been sat pining for him.

Yes that's it absolutely. Well done.

You've said stuff that hasn't been in the press as it is not true.

None of what you are saying has been said in the press though

They're both 64 so it's hardly like he ran off with someone 20 years younger.

Which bit?

@SallyWD yes I agree I made a mistake on that but as I acknowledged earlier in the thread. I thought she was younger as she looked younger than him.

That it was an affair
