\link{http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2104-2056666,00.html\mindless drivel in the Sunday Times}

Its written by some bloke and is about why his marriage broke down .. beautifully apportioning the blame for his endless affairs ...

Shock

What a charming piece of shite.

georginars · 05/03/2006 16:54

I just can't understand why the papers are printing this crap. It's of no use to anyone, there's no point to it - your first marriage broke up, it was all her fault - now you're married again and it's better so it must have been her fault - yawn. what a total wanker

"n my mind, when I was home, I was very attentive. I did my fair share of nappy-changing. I got up in the night and early mornings to deal with a crying baby."

What's the betting he changed one nappy and got up early once? And expected breakfast in bed for the following week in return?

Ar*ehole.

"I had a great time, and it got stuff out of my system..." Good for you, mate. She sounds like a boring old bag anyway, right? Your life was 'still fun', and she was just dragging you down, wasn't she?

Seriously, what a waste of DNA he sounds.

monkeytrousers · 05/03/2006 17:32

'Thinks' alot if theings, doesn't he. Pity he's wrong about it all. He's just a typical media twat!

monkeytrousers · 05/03/2006 17:33

and it's full of contradictions! he doesn't know what he's on about

mrspitt · 05/03/2006 17:40

Do men EVER know what they are on about??????
Poor excuses from a man who quite frankly couldn't keep it in his trousers!

OTOH if dh withdrew(no pun intended) his services for 5 years i would be pretty pissed off aswell Grin

GDG · 05/03/2006 17:43

Some of the grammar is terrible Grin

He's a total twonk. Does he think changing a few nappies and doing the odd night feed is really what she needed? Clueless.

Yorkiegirl · 05/03/2006 17:57

I wonder if they'll run a follow up article next week written by his ex wife? Grin

tortoiseshell · 05/03/2006 18:23

Wanker.

Where to start?

"She was witty, had a great body, an interesting job — pretty much everything you might look for in a woman". Oh yes, pretty much everything.

"I helped out". Sorry, doing the work of parenting your own children is "helping out" is it?

"Her life had changed, mine was still fun". So her life changed and had no fun in it as a result of becoming a parent, while he reserved all the fun in their relationship for himself, and then wondered why she got turned off him?

"She gained weight". Amazing how he managed to stay with her at all then.

He comes across as someone who was only interested in having sex and didn't really give a shit about her feelings. And funnily enough, she couldn't stand him to be near her. And instead of addressing that, he shagged around. Mature. Grown up. Clever. Not.

Janos · 05/03/2006 20:51

Whata cretinous, rancid little turd this man is.

I love the way his high regard for himself shines through in every snivelling, puking word.

ruty · 05/03/2006 21:23

is this supposed to be journalism? So badly written for a start. oh, he's in the movie industry. that explains it then.

Pixel · 05/03/2006 21:49

I couldn't bear to read all of it. Surprised his wife put up with him at all tbh.

notasheep · 05/03/2006 22:14

I searched high and low for the author-what a surprise that it was Anon

moondog · 05/03/2006 22:16

Well..if you will read the Sunday Times.....
Salacious nonsense disguised as serious read.
At least papers like the Sport and Star don't pretend to be what they're not...

Nicola63 · 05/03/2006 22:17

Reading sh** like this reminds me of how lucky I am to have the darling hubby that I have. So I'm glad of it.

harpsichordcarrier · 05/03/2006 22:17

lol at waste of DNA...
I can't help thinking, call me cynical, that this might not be the WHOLE story...

notasheep · 05/03/2006 22:18

Makes a change from India Knight

Pruni · 05/03/2006 22:20

I particularly like how he emphasises 'her' problem with her body image as something that he had to point out to her. Aw, bless, he was only being helpful.

harpsichordcarrier · 05/03/2006 22:21

actually I have had to cancel the ST because my blood pressure couldn't stand it
I can recommend the Observer

moondog · 05/03/2006 22:23

Although there was some tripe in that today Harpsi too!!

overdraft · 05/03/2006 22:25

what a total wanker.Don't know about you ladies but a husband helping out and changing a nappy or two really turns me on and makes me want to fuck his brains out.Nomatter that he calls me fat and boring i would find it a huge turn on NOT
