I have just come to this. I honestly wouldn't know any of them in a line up and have no prior knowledge of either parties prior behaviour /court proceedings /instagram. So just looking at the basic facts I really can't see why Lauren G is so vilified. Can I just check I understand this sad situation correctly ?
Kyle walker a highly paid footballer lives with his Longterm girlfriend Annie and has 3 children with him. She doesn't work outside the home and never has .
KW has had multiple sexual encounters with other women. (Written about on the internet so assume his girlfriend is aware ) one of these encounters resulted in a child being born to the affair partner Lauren.
Annie finds out about this and instead of leaving her serial cheat partner - married KW. .
KW refuses to see or have anything to do with his child by LG. LG goes to court and gets paternity acknowledgement and maintenance commensurate with the father's income.
A couple of years pass and KW has a SECOND affair with LG resulting in a second child. Who he again does not willingly acknowledge. KW s wife discovers existence of this second child when she is 6 months pregnant with her FOURTH child made with a man who has never shown any signs of fidelity .
LG goes to court to get more maintenance for the second child.
If I have this right , I have absolutely no understanding as to why LG is the bad guy. She wasn't cheating on anyone. She wasn't putting her child's life into free fall. The ENTIRE blame here rests solely on the man. The wife is ridiculous. She's not some naive little woman from the 1950s trapped at home with no means of escape . She made a decision to have another child with this man when knowing EXACTLY what he is.
LG to my mind is just doing what she is entitled to do.. make as much as possible to ensure her children's financial future.
The 'contact' stories do not hold water either . He could put in a C100 application for a CAO and wouldn't even need a lawyer ! If he is the father then no judge is going to deny him regular meaningful contact. Nor would a judge allow the mother to be present in such a high conflict situation. Handover would be with the nanny until kids were familiar with the relationship with the father .
The fact that he hasn't bothered just compounds how awful he and he alone is in all of this.
I am so surprised how many women on a woman's forum are still blaming the OW for a man's appalling behaviour.
