Eamonn Holmes -reap what you sow

RosePetalsRose · 31/05/2024 11:29

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.

Still struggling to understand why you believe his first wife would take care of him if he hadn't divorced?
She may have decided to divorce him when he developed health problems too!
What makes you think she would be more likely to look after him for longer than Ruth?
I really don't understand this!
Unless you are projecting OP? 🤔

Yes maybe I was projecting. You got me! 👍

You are bullying me and picking at everything I am saying. You need to stop. I'm happy to have a discussion but not be attacked.

Ok if it makes you feel better that's fine. But I would rather you stopped as I am happy to discuss the topic but not keep being picked at and insulted.

You seem quite defensive. I wasn't attacking you. I was trying to understand your view point. It doesn't make sense to me that a first wife is somehow deemed to be more committed or possibly more resilient than a second wife.
Why would you think this? 🤔

You should have put a vote on this OP as I bet it would be a case of most people agreeing with you but just a few idiots being weird in the comment

Myblindsaredown · 31/05/2024 20:59

There was no speculation op. It was two years later. Stop trying to gaslight us. Writing stuff then denying you meant what you wrote.

its clear you’ve some odd issue, possibly divorced and projecting . Repeatedly telling us how he’d have been better with his first wife, how he reaped what he sowed, then saying oh no, I didn’t say that, it’s just a discussion.

but we can all read your comments, there is a written record.

Bet it wouldn’t, I’d even bet good money, read the comments, wanting it to be true doesn’t make it so.

I never gave him much thought until he did that annoying advert on television about a leg pain device. Put me right off him

keffie12 · 31/05/2024 21:04

I can't stand the man. He is a typical misogynist boomer. Nasty piece of work. That's all I've to say.

I’m no fan either, I’m also not a fan of Ruth, but insinuating he cheated or deserves his marriage to end as his first marriage ended is sick.

I wasn't trying to gaslight you so I apologise if I made you feel this way. I really was trying to have a discussion.
I also haven't repeatedly said he should be with his first wife. My comments are not odd and you saying that is not nice.

At the time there was speculation but obviously that was a long time ago. I'm happy to agree to disagree on this and hope we can leave it at that.

Can you not read? I think this is like many threads where a vocal and weird minority take over the comments but the vote would be the other way. Happens all the time on here

@MohairTortoise I'm sorry I didn't mean to come across as defensive. I just felt I was being attacked and took it the wrong way.

As for your point I can see where you are coming from.

OP posts:
RosePetalsRose · 31/05/2024 21:20

@Myblindsaredown I don't really know how to make you think
I wasn't gaslighting you. That wasn't my intention. I apologise. Let's agree to disagree as I feel like I am being attacked and it's not a nice feeling.

I think he comes across as a toxic bitch.

Sallyh87 · 31/05/2024 21:41

I don’t know any of the details about this or really have any opinions about him but your post seems like you venomously hate him @RosePetalsRose

Some of these replies are bonkers. Ignore the oddballs OP!

RaverQuavers · 31/05/2024 19:39

It’s more odd how much you’re posting on this thread.

let alone your oddly defensive tone

👏👏👏

But I don't. I was just having a discussion. I have never used the word hate.
