Newlyweds:The One Year Itch

[Poshwellies]

Anyone watching?

I can feel myself already

Yes I am watching!

Damnit! I was wondering why no one else was posting about this... I just cross-posted this...

"The first year is the hardest..."

Are you joking? DH and I breezed through the first five years of marriage, it was only when the DCs came along that things got a bit tetchy to say the least... Still, we are mostly happily married for 7+ years... Anyone watching this?

Yep I am

One gets married after entering a newspaper comp for a wedding after being together 10 months and the other one is marrying a alcoholic.

Okkkkay.

Ha angel,I got itchy around the 7 year mark (mini life crisis) but all is happy now after 9 years.

I was pregnant with ds during our first year,so it flew by with excitement (and terror!)

can someone marry them if he is pissed

I surprised he was able to get married in that state.

How fucking awful.

Graham seems to be such a shit.

I get the feeling she loves him more than he loves her

so sad

I gave that last pair 6 months.

why the hell did she want him so much. you could tell he was lying to the camera when asked if there was someone else. he doesn't seem to have a clue how much he has messed her about. and now she is having a baby with him

They both seemed immature and false imo.

C4 has picked the most extreme couples for to film

alcoholic partner
Young virgins
Arranged marriage
Couple who had only been together 10 months

don't forget the thai bride "kokie dokies"

yes boo,I forgot her.

C4 programmes are becoming very similar to trashy Channel 5.

lol.

I don't think i'll be getting marriage advice from any of those to be honest

it reminded me of those programmes where that guy goes around the world finding the biggest/smallest of everything. it makes uncomfortable viewing.

Agree, he struck me as a Louis Theroux wannabe,he never quite got his reporting right though.

"If there was a box that said 'gay', I still wouldn't want to tick the box..."
"But we are GAY..."

Gets my vote for most illuminating conversation of the year...

i know, the woman can't even admit she is gay. how hard would that be if you were her wife??

yes that louis wannabe. I hated the whole concept behind hhis programmes though.

God, that couple where they'd split up and she'd got pregnant during one of the times he came back pissed and dribbling looking for an easy shag and she LET him!!....

Desperately sad.....he was so immature and at the end of the programme it just seemed that he felt trapped in the whole situation. Her self-esteem came across as being zero.

And there's a baby on its way into all that mess.......

Curly I agree, he said he doesn't think they would still be together now if they hadn't got married. And I think he said something along the line of 'for a long time' when asked about staying together... He is so, so trapped!

i also noticed how she was saying "we make each other happy, at least, i hope i make you happy" and looked at him and got zero reassurance. they looked about as secure as i look tall, blonde and skinny.!!

I agree- I feel so sorry for that girl. I really hope he doesn't do another runner but it doesn't look good.

I also feel the woman in the civil partnership who did most of the talking was less comfortable in herself than her partner.

It was great viewing.

me love you long time
yes or no ?
