To feel bad for Helen Flanagan here?

she’s being made to sell their home and work, taking jobs she wouldn’t normally, and being away from her kids?

I know some of you are gonna be like ‘poor little rich girl’ 😂😂😂 but honestly, what kind of man is this?? Feel for her a little (from my own, much lower, tax bracket)

He can’t. He’s not earning City or Celtic wages anymore. When he was, he supported her with being a SAHM (and the other things she tried between acting and deciding to be a SAHM), but now he’s a Rovers player, he can’t. He isn’t worth the big salary anymore, if he ever was, and his wages are on the downward turn, they won’t go back up.

Neither of them can afford the house and neither of them can afford to be SAHP.

She took maternity leave. There's no reason that she couldn't return to acting, she would have been relatively well-paid and with child support and an involved father, I don't think child care is/was an issue. For whatever they she chose to be an SAHM (and good for her, if that's what worked for them both) but things have changed. there's absolutely no reason that she can't work. She'll still be better off than the average single parent.

"She says she has to work, so he can't be providing for her properly' .....so she's in the same position as most of us 'workers'.

Actually, I've just read that she's about to be in a play "The Memory of Water", which starts it's run next week.
So, OP, she's not a SAHM, she's working.

If she's got a part in a play, I'm sure that she can get other work.
It seems as if the partner's name was on the property, which is a problem - it's his to sell.
She was on Corrie for years, I'm assuming she invested money for the future?

You lot are coming for me 😂😂😂

I was hoping to see her back in Corrie. She used to get on my nerves but then she turned into a bimbo.😂😂😂

To be absolutely fair, not only he is a lower league footballer but footballing careers are short- even 40k a week for 5 years isn’t income for the other 60 years of your life.

he wouldn’t be able to afford it long term and seems like he can’t now.

Seperation is hard, you have to expect changes

😆You're taking it well! 😂

They ruined her. Turned her from a feisty teenage goth into a seductive man eater going after 35 year old teachers (when she was 17!)

I’m being serious - I know the popular opinion is that she should be shoved back to work now that her man has had enough but I don’t agree

shes still the mother of his kids. I do really feel for her

I agree with Op.
Her ex is not treating her like he values her contributions to their family life.
He should be considering how his children could still be flourishing. He could make the transition easier for her and the children; be supportive for longer, if he has the means.

I think she and the children are finding the adjustment to her job difficult. It will take a while to get used to her new, longer work hours.

SAHM is a job.
Many people work one and a half jobs to subsidize it's no pay.

Gardener is a job.
Many people work one and a half jobs to subsidize it's no pay.

Laundry operator is a job.
Many people work one and a half jobs to subsidize it''s no pay.

Not my first time 😂😂

I feel like she hasn’t 😬

I think it should be if you agree to it - although you’d be mad not to have a marriage cert, you can’t trust these men

This belief only works if you have good support either in the form of an ex partner or extended family. I am a single parent with a professional career and since divorcing my ex husband, I have found full time work a challenge alongside single parenting. It is a constant hamster wheel of managing school, childcare, sickness, activities, normal childhood emotions. Women are sold a fantasy that we can be all to everyone including our children snd the workplace when in reality, that is rarely true.

😂😂🙈

id be annoyed tbh - why has he lost his job? Through uselessness or illness?

If it’s the former, I’ve been broke so I’d just become single again. TBH I get the ick from him!

Long term SAHM who are not married deserve to have 'marital' assets split like married people. In Australia that is how it is even without children.
It makes people think very seriously before taking the step of moving in together.

Yeah she seems to have a grown up a little! I think that publicly shaming him is beneath her but I get it

surely she could get work on hollyoaks 😬😬

What about those who want to continue to be SAHM forever against the wants of the other
partner?

The story you linked says he’s been paying for the 6 bedroom house plus all bills FOR 4 YEARS, I expect that’s a hefty cost; it’s really not unreasonable for him to request that they sell a too big house to move somewhere smaller (4 bedrooms would still give each child their own room).

It’s also not unreasonable for a single parent of school age children to go out to work. I’m one of those people and it’s absolutely fine. No adult should rely on another to fully fund their lifestyle unless that’s what’s been agreed between two of them; that’s no longer the case here. Unfortunately that’s the reality of the aftermath of a relationship breakdown.

The worlds smallest violin playing specially for her.

Why does he have to fund her living beyond her means? He has resposibility for the paying towards the children and that is all.

Obviously it is an agreed way to live.
If one's partner doesn't support the situation then they both need to work outside the home, of course.

Or they can separate.

I wish she wouldn't because one day her children will be able to read it all. But hurt people aren't always the most rational.

Hollyoaks 😂😂 don't think I've seen that since the early 2000s. If it's like it used to be then she might she be a bit * whispers old for them. 😬
