I'm really intrigued about the Will Poulter drama with his ex

Has anyone seen the recent drama about Will Poulter and how he broke up with his ex girlfriend? I always thought he seemed like a positive role model for men with his charity work that he does.

Me too 🤭

I'll be in the minority in that he is now sexier to me - more grown up

Difficult. I saw the photo and automatically judged as a woman scorned story, but then I read the statement and did feel for her.
But at 44 to his 30 at the time, it only just meets the half your age plus 7 rule, and if not his kid then it seems a bit early to have introduced. But she says they were together three years and engaged so the toddler will have got attached presumably. He's 32 now but looks younger.
We don't know his side. Phil Collins still says he did not divorce his wife by fax. Ghosting is cowardly though.

She might be a right nutter, ghosting is fine if someone is a hysteric, or a testeric, or dangerous or just a total unflushable who won't take no for an answer. You're not owed an exit interview and sometimes people ghost to preserve their own peace. And the reality is, almost nobody ghosts anyone if they have another choice that won't cause them a lot of misery. Occasionally yes, but not often at all.

Also, she is complaining publicly about being dumped months and months after he dumped her, which honestly looks like she's an unflushable. For all we know he tried to tell her umpteen times.

But yeah maybe he's an arse, there's no way to tell. Her only option is to get on with her life, regardless, you can't make people love you or do anything at all really, unless they want to.

'Unflushable' is very funny 😭

Well it's very one sided isn't it, we really have no idea what went on.

Did you ever watch a comedy series called Coupling? It was out I think in the early 2000s and was really funny for its time, that's where I got that phrase, it just stuck (no pun intended).
