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

www.mailonsunday.co.uk/femail/article-2791669/would-let-man-sleep-women-stop-leaving-divorcee-maria-louise-does-says-57-no-choice.html

I've read about a million things sadder than that.

FFS. I'd rather be a nun.

The Daily Mail do this all the time BTW - I bet her story was somewhat different, and they made it fit what their agenda which was to undermine woman again.

Bloody hell everyone, why so nasty? The poor woman is obviously suffering from severe self esteem and self confidence issues, and needs therapy and compassion not ridicule on a forum that least we forget it is by women, for women, to support them through difficult periods in their lives.

Cog yes, you are right, she married two men who refused to have sex with her, and didn't lose her virginity until her 50s. Rather than make fun, as someone who regularly posts on here, would you not say that has probably really fucked her up mentally? I think it would me. Exactly how unattractive and unfeminine would you feel after after 20-30 years of sexual rejection? I'd be pretty low myself.

This sleaze ball of a man has taken advantage of someone very vulnerable, and done a real number on her. He disgusts me. The DM probably paid her peanuts for this story, made it tawdry and styled her inappropriately. I'm sure she didn't pick that dress or that pose.

Have some compassion. This woman needs help.

She wrote the article:

By MARIA-LOUISE WARNE FOR THE DAILY MAIL

Agee with MatildaTheCat. He's a creep. And probably abusive too. Such a sense of entitlement. And society condones it. Just look at this thread. Barely a word about his behaviour. All focused on her.

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.

And the new guy was her husband's doctor! The General Medical Council would probably be very interested in that.

Oh, and she's conveniently supplied several photos of him, for easy identification

The really sad thing is that you only have to look at the Relationships board to see there are blends of just this kind of woman currently living this kind of real life nightmare and they also think they have no choice in the matter.

"Rather than make fun, as someone who regularly posts on here, would you not say that has probably really fucked her up mentally?"

If she was posting on here, of course I wouldn't make fun. But if she's fucked up mentally I'd suggest she seeks counselling in confidence rather than put it out in the public domain in a medium - a Sunday Newspaper - that is principally designed to entertain. She's turned herself into a freak show.

The poor woman is obviously suffering from severe self esteem and self confidence issues, and needs therapy and compassion not ridicule on a forum that least we forget it is by women, for women, to support them through difficult periods in their lives.

Oh ffs give over - She's a professional writer who has form these sorts of articles:

Carol looked quite nice, didn't he ? < muses >

I didn't understand the frequent references to how much their properties were worth

I know a woman who sold a similarly sad story to the Mail. It was almost entirely made up, with a few facts thrown in about her life. She got money, they got page views.

I assume every real life story in their is fiction.

Ah.... AnyFucker old pal... this is to reassure the Daily Mail Reader when clutching their pearls in horror at the terrible tale that the subject is 'just like them!'...

Mind you... a measly £250k property... bit povvy for my tastes (polishes monocle)

BTW... are we to assume that 'Carol' (it not being a traditional male moniker in the UK) is.... be ready to be aghast.... foreign?

The swine!

smellycandles I thought the writing style of the article was very similar to several threads we've had on here.

All of her stories contradict themselves.

I think she's another professional troll a la Katie Hopkins and Jizz Loans.

I think 'Carol' is a version of 'Charles' used in Germany, Poland, Eastern Block and beyond.

pmsl @ Jizz Loans

I shall add that to my funny name for annoying people pile. It's a small collection so far.

Cog, you could be right. 250 Bags of Sand wouldn't buy you a shoebox in my neck'o'th'woods

Well spotted Fontella - and I note in one article she said she hadn't had sex with Carol for ages .......... so hardly a completely sexless marriage then ?

This is the least sad story in the world. And very dull to boot. Her frock is quite the horror too.

I thought her GMC-registered loverrrr had rather grotty teeth. Not very naice at all.

Rather than make fun, as someone who regularly posts on here, would you not say that has probably really fucked her up mentally?

No I think her desire to make money is more important that her mental state - everyone knows the Daily Fail will put anything on to cover pages, if she really was so fucked up do you honestly think she'd be posting her business on a national newspaper - get real.

Oh. I didn't realise she has form. Thanks for the heads up.
