Imagine if Whitney had an AIBU to leave my husband he lied about his job payday loans setting up a robbery in his parents pub then blamed me for wanting stuff

The80sweregreat · 23/01/2017 11:13

mrsjayy, I am sure that Witless would get some really good advice from the wise owls of MNetters -( maybe a few 'LTB'!)
A bit of the blame does lay with her - she did push for a flat of their own and did just assume his job was more than it was - a clue may have been when she went to his office last year and how creepy that Oz bloke was - she should have at least smelt a rat then, but she didn't. She could have asked to see his wage slip from the off - finances are just as important as weddings and love!! still, she didn't and now she is getting all the blame, which also isn't fair either. I hope she now realises that the flat will have to go, confront him and make him tell the truth. The robbery was a real low - he is a snivelling git as ding says - but it all can be resolved with some common sense. Mick has paid the debts at least. This whole story hasn't raised awareness of anything and could have been handled so much better really. Depression in young males is a real issue. The only time he acted well was on the roof top car park, sad to say.

MrsJayy · 23/01/2017 11:20

Ach you are right Whit just assumed

HarryPottersMagicWand · 23/01/2017 11:21

The problem is, Lee TOLD Whitney that his pay was double was it actually is. She said it when she found his payslip that it's half of what he he told her he earns so you can't blame her for thinking they had more money than what they did.

And no, they definitely needed a likeable character to have the male mental health issues with. I don't feel sympathetic to Lee at all. I felt so anjoyed for Whitney whe he turned up on her night out then started accusing her. He slept with Abi ffs!

HarryPottersMagicWand · 23/01/2017 11:23

Annoyed for Whitney.

Do people really ask their partners for their payslips to check they are being honest about what they earn? I wouldn't have thought there was much trust there if people have to do this. I have seen DH's payslips but it woukd bever have occured to me to check them in case he was lying about his wages!

nancy75 · 23/01/2017 11:34

If poor old Twitney payed on her I would advise taking him back to that car park and giving him a good hard push!
She's daft but he has cheated on her, lied to her, worn an inspector gadget mac in public & has a miserable face like a slapped dogs bum. I say LTB

Akire · 23/01/2017 11:41

Surely by now Lee would have twigged he's not cut out to do sales, no harm as it's not many people's cup of tea. Why not look for a new job or work as pub manager or relief worker. He prob earn far more as more hours avaibke to work. He spends most evenings in pub watching Twitney (loving the name) work anyway

Thinkingofausername1 · 23/01/2017 11:50

They should show Whitney typing in AIBU on her phone 😂

SoupDragon · 23/01/2017 12:27

If Whitney had known his salary from the start, I thinkshes the sort to have pulled together and made it work. She wouldn't have been suggesting flats and other stuff.

EnidButton · 23/01/2017 14:41

Yes Jay would've been a better choice.

Although I really like Jay and just want him to be happy.

tobee · 23/01/2017 15:28

I've been puzzling over the dislikable Lee not being good for mental health poster boy problem but I think maybe they want to show tat not everybody with issues is just obviously depressed and listless. As a nudge to viewers to look out for other behaviours that indicate suicidal/not coping tendencies. Ee research is always strong, people!

Anyone else keep watching Eastenders and wondering if they've accidentally missed watching an episode? I watch on iplayer and have to keep checking.

LineysRun · 23/01/2017 17:13

I haven't watched it for a couple of weeks. Might give it a go tonight. But Lee really is boring.

TheMockingbird · 23/01/2017 18:43

worn an inspector gadget mac in public
Grin
Yes, THIS I can't forgive him for

The80sweregreat · 23/01/2017 18:51

I insisted that dh and I knew each others earnings and saw a wage slip when we became engaged! We knew each others savings ( i had more than him, thats never changed! Lol) and split the bills 50/50!
I know EE isnt real life ( be boring if it was) but i guess both of them are to blame ( but that set up robbery is unforgivable)
Still, i hope it becomes resolved soon though. This story has dragged on now.

nancy75 · 23/01/2017 18:58

Mockingbird, I know, the money I could forgive, even the cheating, but that mac? He'd be straight out the door!

The80sweregreat · 23/01/2017 19:02

Nancy, the mac is a deal breaker. Although his fashion sense seems to have inspired Chelleulite to buy one. I just hope Donna doesnt start selling them on the market. God help us all eh?

nancy75 · 23/01/2017 19:06

Lol 80s imagine if Donna does start flogging them on her stall, half the square will be walking round dressed like badly dressed spies Grin

The80sweregreat · 23/01/2017 19:09

Yeah, it wouldnt brighten up their lives at all!
Beige macs should be banned. I did spot one in M and S the other day, so there is a market for them. They breed.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 23/01/2017 19:12

Lee is single handedly bringing The Beige Belted Mac back. Aarrrgh.

The80sweregreat · 23/01/2017 19:19

Ilośt, m and s will do a spring ad with lee n twiggy twirling around to a clean bandit number in beigey macs..
This isnt any old mac, its an m and s mac.

EnidButton · 23/01/2017 19:23

GrinGrin

I think they picked Lee because he's ex army so we're supposed to think of him as a tough manly man and they we're trying to show that anyon can get depression. Good idea in principle but it didn't work because Lee is so booooorrrrring!

The80sweregreat · 23/01/2017 19:29

If they had an actor that could act might have helped too enid!

Still, it may raise awareness that loan sharks are a bad idea and not to tell people your a stock broker / trader when your not.
Also wearing silly macs makes you look a plonker

dingdongdigeridoo · 23/01/2017 19:33

It's a warning not to marry someone so stupid they don't notice when you've got a face like a smacked arse for your entire wedding day.

The80sweregreat · 23/01/2017 19:37

Ding, good point.
Witless knew it was doomed when the dog ate her flowers! Listen to your gut girl. She has no luck with men.

TheMockingbird · 23/01/2017 19:48

And why is Lee still wearing a suit and God awful beige mac? Surely, now everyone knows he's not a city banker/hotshot/Mi5 agent/whatever vague job description he told his family he was, he can wear jeans and a hoodie like everyone else in the office does?
