What advice would you give Sally Bercow?

[Hadron21]

She's been having an affair with her husbands cousin, who has dumped her (gone back to his wife) and she claims to be heartbroken.
I've never like the woman, but there's something about this story that makes me pity her. If I was married to her and she announced she wanted to go on Big Brother I would have run for the hills at that point.

Let's just take a moment to remember that men make complete fools of themselves alllll the time over sex and they don't get quite the judgement that is generally meted out to women who do the same

I have no advice for her.

I have done advice for her husband, however, for whom she obviously has vet little respect.

i don't think thats quite the case,she didn't get caught smooching in a dark nightclub corner, she went to the press herself! her poor bloody husband! ..

*i dont think thats quite the case here,

IMO she can make a fool of herself as much as she likes over sex but she really needs to keep it out of the public eye, if only for the sake of her children.

I don't understand why anybody would be remotely interested in it. It's something between her and her husband and nobody else.

Agree AF Men dont get anywhere near the same vitriol

I think she should keep a dignified silence like her husband is doing. They have young children and airing all this so publicly must be causing them a lot of upset.

She should think about the children before making her next move.
How hard is it to be quiet?

Her and that Danzcuk woman with her selfies on Twitter breasts out should both stop letting down feminism and behave.

danzcuk?that rings a bell

I think she needs to speak to a professional, she's got issues and is clearly not dealing with them

Work on your marriage, or leave it.
Get a lot of psychotherapy to understand where all this dysfunctional behaviour comes from, and how to address it.

Shut the fuck up.
Stop crying- you look hideous.
Buggar off to live abroad
Get some glasses
Have some dignity and self- respect
Stop drinking
Not everythng is about you
Grow up
You have children and a husband - stop humiliating them
No one cares

Find a short pier and take a long walk off it.

I thought what a ridiculous woman. Are we meant to feel sorry for her or something.

Her body. Her life. Why does she have to be accountable to the good folk of Mumsnet?

ToYouToMe

I suspect if she was that bothered she wouldn't have gone public with it.

I think you are all being too harsh - she looks on the edge to me. People who behave in a self destructive way are rarely having a great time of it.

Sally - you've done some bloody stupid things but my advice would be stay away from the press and if you think you may have a drink problem, seek help. You look like a very unhappy lady to me.

She appears to be one of those people whose lives are one Big drama. Is there noone she listens to when they say 'look love, keep your mouth shut, don't speak to the press, and Sally, they aren't laughing with you...'.

If she was a man people on here would not be feeling sorry for her.

I'm not interested either way and have advice to give her. She is a grown woman she can do whatever she wants to do. Her marriage is the business of SB and JB.

I think she needs help.

no advice

I'll reserve my sympathy for JB and his cousins wife I think.
So far on here and another thread I've seen her being excused because she is under pressure, is possibly mentally ill and because MP's cheat all the time.
A cheating husband is vilified, usually given a derogatory nickname and the wife is told that he is neglecting his family and giving a bad example on how to have relationships to his children.
Meanwhile an innocent woman has been publicly dragged into this car crash and had her personal life bandied around the newspapers for no other reason except that her husband and his lover couldn't act like compassionate sensible human beings.

I agrees with others, she needs professional help.

Please book yourself in Sally.
