You lot need to stop talking so much. I am 3 pints of gin in, it's hard work with everyone wanting to be in my business 😉

That isn’t what I’m referring to.

I’m referring to the fact she was adamant she didn’t want to be touched. Practically shaking at the thought. But then she’ll be touchy feely with him. So he’s trying to navigate what her boundaries are, but she keeps changing them.

He could always you know, just ask!

Obviously if he’s not happy with that, he can choose to leave, but these are her boundaries so he has to respect them or leave.

murasaki · 06/10/2025 21:43

Hang on, he doesn't want her to see his personality???

Thedevilhasfinallycaughtupwithhim · 06/10/2025 21:43

The coercion on this series is making me so uncomfortable.

I’m genuinely concerned about Nelly and Sarah.

I don’t think I’ll be able to continue watching if it continues.

No, the mixed signals are her telling him she doesn’t want be touched, but then holding his hand

Grace has never said I don't want ever to be touched by a man in my life! She knows she has issues with touching and often does get anxious around it. At each stage, she takes longer to warm up than her partner and gets there eventually in her own time, such as when they were massaging. it's not touching and then straight to full sex, is it? She's going her own speed and that's what she needs to do and Ashley's role is to decide if that slower speed is ok for him and go that speed.

What you term her 'mixed signals' are intense anxiety and if you are with a very anxious person, you don't keep going or get cross if they get anxious, not if you are a decent person anyway. You can decide to leave though or that that person isn't for you.

Holding hands is very different to being massaged etc. And it is ok to want to be touched sometimes and not others. Sorry for you if you don’t realise that.

You don’t need to feel sorry for me, just because I don’t have the same viewpoint as you.

Off you pop with your patronising tone.

Is Abigails father allowed to speak?

I bet those googly eyes get even more bulging when shagging.

This bride, when she smiles, she looks like Nadine from Girls Aloud.

Not if his wife Hyacinth is in the room

No. The mother does all the thinking and speaking.

You’ve missed dress-gate

Over and over and over

Oh no 😢 😂

Discoprincess6 · 06/10/2025 21:45

murasaki · 06/10/2025 21:40

You didn't miss much. The dress incident for 25 minutes, an overbearing mum and a man with stary eyes. Oh and a wazzock who uses shit chat up lines in supermarkets.

I think that's covered it.

Hahahahaha!!!! None of my friends are replying at the min so glad seen your post! Wtf!!!!

Empress13 · 06/10/2025 21:45

Grace is doinG my head in she thinks she’s Mother Theresa! If I were Ashley I’d run she obviously has issues with intimacy and he will be treading on eggshells going forward . As for the feckin dress get over it the stupid bint

You too. Raise the bar and don’t pull other women apart for not accepting misogyny.

browneyes77 · 06/10/2025 21:45

Dillite2 · 06/10/2025 21:41

It also sounds like there's been no discussion about how much contact and what kind is and isn't acceptable. Probably, in part, because she finds it so hard to discuss intimacy (I include snogging and cuddling in this).

Exactly.

How can he understand what her boundaries are if she’s too scared to discuss them?

Gratedcamembert · 06/10/2025 21:48

Surprised at the comments regarding Grace. He basically made go the dress story and did just want her to wear a dress. He’s shallow and sexist and she doesn’t like that,

Just because you buy condoms doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind afterwards. He shouldn’t be sulky about that.

They’re mismatched. He’s from a rural area and was seemingly born in the 1950s. She isn’t trophy wife material.

Calm down.
Why the passive digs? PP's are entitled to a different opinion.

Of course mummy's in the carriage not dad.

Your mother should have no say in this. That she does is probably why you are single. You’re welcome

I don’t need ‘advice’ from you thanks.

I haven’t pulled anyone apart, I’ve disagreed with your opinion and given mine. But you opted to come at me with a patronising tone. Take it elsewhere. This isn’t that kind of thread.
