I watched this recently, so late to the party with this one!

Its made me (& I’m sure many others!) question things.
I dated a guy for years like Brad. We had the best life..the sex was amazing. I feel I had both of Billy’s relationships with this one man. The house etc..
Then I caught him texting another woman and ended things.
Hes tried to fix it ever since..we’re 7yrs on and he still messages saying he loves me and made a huge mistake.
Do people change? I often think about him. Neither of us have ever settled with anyone else but I m my own the phrase ‘a
leopard doesn’t change its spots’ is usually right!

That was supposed to say I’m aware the phrase!

That series has had me thinking about an ex for months. But of course that yours cheated on you means he's not someone you want to be involved with again. Even my ex, by thinking about him I've come to realize he was odd.

@OldFan its a thought provoking show that’s for sure! There was a lot going on at the time, (he messaged but I believe never did anything more) I feel i acted hastily in ways.

Is he hung like Brad is? 😆
No sorry I don't buy it, it's natural for people to want what they can't have and take for granted what they do have, my guess is it would start off good but as time went on your suspicions would come back again because you know he's done it once before

BBfifteen · 27/06/2022 13:15

@SummerIsComingNowish sadly yes🤣

I know you’re right..

I thought that was why they cast that actor. 😂 I read a while back that it was a cut away to a different actor, but now stuff online seems to say it is the Brad actor's.

Either way, there's a plot oversight as he doesn't have the bee tattoo in that scene.

@BBfifteen If that was an ex of mine, I'd be pining over him too. 😂

@OldFan the thing is I’m
single..and he’s trying..doesn’t make it easy when you watch stuff like this!

@BBfifteen i watched the show and it was very thought provoking!

I can appreciate that he texted another woman before however, can’t you both have some fun and see where it goes?

BBfifteen · 03/07/2022 22:09

@SazzyLondon I’ve didn’t deal with the break up at all, he went a bit off he rails..it would worry me to go there again

Do you not think he's tries that on with all women? and the reason he hasn't settled is because he's a prick and women soon realise he's not the loyal type, gets in touch with exes in between saying how much he loves you Hmm but in reality you wouldn't of broken up if he loved you because he wouldn't of wanted anyone else, no I don't think a leopard changes his spots.

BBfifteen · 04/07/2022 22:16

@seaUrchinOne yep! That’s why I haven’t gone back
