OMG This is one of the saddest things I've ever read.

[CheersMedea]

It is heart breaking.

Daily mail article:

Would you let your man sleep with other women to stop him leaving you? Divorcee Maria-Louise does - and says at 57 she has no choice

Not even wasting my intelligence reading it - what a sad, sad woman, why do women feel they can't function without a man, they can!

FFS, look at him too!

It's exploitative.

The rules change when you get older, but you don't have to lower your standards if you don't want to.

The choice is everything.

I stopped reading when it said she started shagging the new guy whilst her husband was ill before they split up. Made her own bed.

Posed 'sad face'

Posed lacey red dress

Posed stereotype, yy she does have a choice!!

DM page-filler

What is sad about it that her low self-esteem just beams out of it.

That man is nothing special - that top photo where he is doing the Victory sign - just urrgh. And she is all "he's so handsome, in his prime etc etc".

I don't find it sad in the slightest.

Desperate woman willing to put up with a philandering boyfriend because she doesn't want to be on her own. Her life, her choice - and yes, she does have a choice.

"I have to accept a relationship on any terms offered to me"

Bollocks to that.

And why does she need to write an article about it in a national newspaper anyway?

What I find sad is her low self-esteem. It's like she's been so broken down that she would take anything.

It really upset me to think someone could feel like that about themselves.

It's sort of middle class Jeremy Kyle isn't it? Grim comb-over...

I'm mighty glad he's not my doctor. Creep.

"Things are back to normal between us and we’re a proper couple now, albeit one harbouring a rather tawdry secret." Tawdry, absolutely. A secret?? You're writing in the Daily Mail woman!

I wonder if his employers know he's in the DM today?

What I find sad is her low self-esteem. It's like she's been so broken down that she would take anything.

Yeah, she's got such 'low self-esteem' she writes an article about her sex life in a national newspaper and has a full length picture of herself published to go with it posing forlornly in her red lacy frock.

She's got a bloody site more 'self esteem' than I have, and I wouldn't go within a million miles of the arsehole she's with:

"Sex, according to Tim, is akin to browsing at the supermarket: one week he might fancy a rump steak, the next roast chicken."

What really pisses me off is the way she's insisting she doesn't have any choice .. that because she's knocking 60 and 'lonely' she has to put up with this shit. What kind of message is that sending out to other women?

I read this article and was absolutely disgusted, to hell with lowering your standards just because some people are of the view that over 50 is "old"! I'm 52 and I certainly wouldn't settle for anything other than complete respect from a man.

The problem with setting the bar so low is that you then have to live there!

Indeed. Hopefully most of the female population possess more than one brain cell and will treat her article as it should be - with contempt.

I read it too and thought about the MN business cards we were talking about the other week on here.

Hand that woman a MN card!!! :(

So so sad. Tim should take a long walk off a short pier. What a jerk.

Another article in the Daily Fail today though is one of their journalists writing in support of Judy Finnegan.

Say no more

You've got to hand it to her... she really has lousy taste in men!!! TWO husbands that refused to have sex with her? Marrying one could be bad luck. Two sounds like carelessness. And then to end up with Mr Sleazeball-Comb-Over? You can hear the sound of barrels being scraped from here...

I think she's auditioning for daytime telly.

Cog -

I still think it's exploitative though.

He's exploiting the fact that she's at the bottom of the waiting list for a spine transplant, you mean?

No, I mean the Daily Mail allowing her to humiliate herself so publicly. I bet they stitched her up.

People appear to be able to humiliate the poor woman with monotonous regularity. I hope they paid her well.
