Sheeping With The Enemy - in a brand new bed? Discuss the trials and tribulations of the Archers

[PseudoBadger]

Just don't be so careless with your watch Helen

[orangina]

He is such a gigantic arse! Am listening to the podcast as I type.....

[Minimammoth]

Marking place. Clearly Jess is not under the patio.......yet.

J under patio
R misogynist, will go back to J. H will crumble
H will become a tower of strength to defend Henry
R will kidnap Henry for Jess.

Helen described what she was cooking - he made no demur - when he came in he had a drama llama attack - can that be tuna? I can't stand the smell and taste of tuna! - Helen is aghast, points out she mentioned the tuna - he says he can't have heard that bit - she is apologetic and offers to make him an omelette - they eat tagliatelle (which she made herself!) with an arrabbiata sauce instead and once again all is well - until the next time.

Is this gaslighting?

PS Lovely thread title!

[JollyGolightly]

A masterclass in gaslighting.

I could have sworn they said penne arrabiata, the lovingly hand-stroked tagliatelle having been consigned to the dustbin, besmirched by fishy sauce.

[PseudoBadger]

Perfect gaslighting.

But who makes tagliatelle? I'm sure I'm aghast enough for all my fellow low carbing Archers fans :o

[Martorana]

I must have led a very sheltered life- I really didn't know people did things like the pasta incident. Bizarre!

[Burma]

He wasn't really listening though was he when she ran through the list of ingredients? not that I want to let him off the hook or anything!

I just want it over and for her to be back in the bosom of Pat and Tony.

[GypsyFloss]

I thought he sounded quite hesitant when she listed their dinner on the phone so I am prepared to accept that he might indeed not like tuna . However the polite thing would have been to explain that he really appreciated her cooking for him but he didn't like tuna etc etc . Instead he threw a childish hissy fit that, had it happened in my kitchen , would have had said child sent to their room. What a twunt.

[ZeroSomeGameThingy]

Yes I thought the pasta had changed. I wanted to weep for Helen; the thought of her spending the afternoon anticipating and evening lovingly hand making her perfect supper.

Heartbreaking. And very clever to make us feel sorry for someone so generally unappealing.

[TemperamentalAroundCorvids]

It is not true gaslighting, IMHO. He admitted he hadn't been listening, rather than denying she had told him in the first place.

[PseudoBadger]

But he has form, he did it to Jess.

[PseudoBadger]

Anyway, the reply should be "well I did tell you, so what are you cooking yourself instead? Well you should've listened then"

[CuttedUpPear]

Rob has a fish problem.

First the salmon.
Now the tuna.

Helen was lucky not to have had it flung to the floor.

[TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet]

Marking place
Am loving it

[PseudoBadger]

You're right, he does have a fish problem!

Poor Helen, she didn't do it on porpoise. She had to replaice the dinner :(

[Martorana]

Salmon?

[GypsyFloss]

Ah Pseudo you're codding me .

[SomethingOnce]

Double pregnancy for J and H.

Ooh, this please!

[mean]

[PseudoBadger]

Poor Helen feels gillty now. She's a dab hand at pasta making when she gets the opportunaty. I think this relationship could get a shoal lot worse.

[CuttedUpPear]

Rob chucked Jess's dressed salmon on the floor in a stroppy attempt to ruin her housewarming party not that long ago.

[PseudoBadger]

I think any pregnancy aspect to this SL would be a mistake, and would dilute its impact.

[Benzalkonium]

Do tony and pat not have spare land? Since they selt their herd? I thought tom was still planning How to plant it. Why didn't David ask them?

[CarolineKnappShappey]

Maybe he's a merman?
