I very rarely post I'm a creepy lurker but I just wanted to say that about 12 years ago I had a pic taken on holiday with my stomach pretty similar to what Shelbys is on that photo. I had like a flap of loose skin because of my csections. Anyway I was about 7 stone at the time and a size 6 (eating disorder) and a 'friend' commented on the pic of me basically saying haha you might be thin but you still have a belly (not verbatim and she also didn't know I had disordered eating) but it CRUSHED me. It really isn't nice to comment on ppls looks (Shelby looks amazing but that isn't even the point).

Completely unrelated to the pictures of him and the girl but I was scrolling through his pics and looking at the captions after comment above and all of his kids are born on the 15th! Two girls on 15th Sept, eldest boy on 15th May and other two boys with Billi are 15th Nov & 15th June! What are the chances! anyway as you were!

Hang on, how the hell could SAM, billies brother ALLOW Andy to bring back women to his hotel room!!!!! That’s his sisters partner!!! He should be looking out for billie not Andy!!!

What is wrong with some men (and women!) that they just can't go on trips / nights out without having the need to dip their wick in the nearest person they can find... if you want to shag about, stay single... its hardly rocket science!

Ah but there is the rub (if you pardon the pun) some cheaters want the steady reliable partner at home to hold that part of life together, they can use that partner as the front of being a decent person and then still have the thrill of chasing strange in secret on the side. Also handy to have a wife or long term partner at home, stops the one/two or three night stands from expecting or demanding anything more serious. The side piece can be fobbed off with "I can't leave she won't let me see the kids/dog/cat/ Sky tv remote" he (because it is mostly he) gets to be cast as the poor put upon bloke that tolerates a difficult woman at home while bravely fucking other women in secret.

i found out that my husband had rung a girl about 3am so on his home stag I rang her and she answered all hiya like she clearly knew him - this was a week before the wedding and we had two little ones - I went into blind panic and even went done the road of ‘I’m not letting some girl split my family up’ I should have called it off it would never happen now so disrespectful and never trusted him after

I've never been to a wedding where the bride takes to the dance floor on her own while the groom and guests stand to the side watching.

Someone said in her Insta comments he always cheats and she knows and allows it as long as he doesn't get himself caught

 

[flossy30]

Shows her friends are wayyyy more loyal than her husband to agree to wear those fucking monstrosities

Tbh can’t help but wonder if we’re so used to Kardashian Insta face that anyone who is remotely normal seems SO much worse? Like our palettes have been tuned to flawless tanned skin, sexy cat eyes, big lips, flawless glam, etc etc that anyone who falls short of it is needlessly written off as hideous?

Like Billi isn’t in that generation that want/need to be Insta baddies 24/7 ?

shes maybe thinking now they are married, she holds more leverage. She’ll be entitled to half the marital assets including any of his pensions, homes and advertising incomes, plus any income if he ever gets signed again.

marriage is a lovely statement of romance and love but it’s also very practical. Billy’s parents might be wealthy but she isn’t, and certainly not at the level Carrol was.

financially, for Billi, going ahead with the wedding made perfect sense. Especially considering there are children involved. Marriage means that both Billi and her children will be financially protected.

if Billi had separated from Andy and he’d decided he didn’t fancy paying towards the kids anymore, the maximum CMS can take is £3K a month - I’d imagine that’s a bit reduction in income for Billi. Now they are married, if they are divorced Billi will be entitled to maintenance for the children and it’s likely be a lot more than £3K. That’ll be on top of her share of the marital assets.

common law marriages don’t exist in U.K. law. Prior to getting married she’d have been entitled toSo I’m glad Billy went ahead with the marriage. Because after 8 years, helping raise his 2 eldest kids and giving him 3 more - the financial protection offered to her by marriage is the bare minimum she deserves.

I think having children outside of marriage is so common nowadays, but I don’t think women realise the financial consequences they’ll face if the relationship breaks down (and I say women because largely it is mother’s who regain custody of children). Until legislation catches up, marriage is as much a good financial and practical decision as it is a romantic one.

men harp on about being fleeced by their ex wives during divorce, but many women lose years of their careers and suffer huge losses of earning potential bringing children to a couple. Not including the physical and phsychological effects many women suffer giving birth which gain, impacts earning.

so I don’t think is fair to call Billi a doormat. If anyone should be getting called names, it’s Andy Carroll. And even if that wasn’t her motivation, by going through with this wedding Billi has mitigated any extra scandal and drama for her kids and ensured financial protection and stability for them in future.

Excellent post, people harp on that marriage is "just a bit of paper", well home insurance is just a bit of paper too until your house burns down and you are left homeless with fuck all to your name. Women need to start being smarter and stops having kids for men who will not do the one thing that can financially protect a family in the worst case scenario. A family friend of mine did the whole "only a piece of paper" routine too, they didn't marry, had kids, house in his name. He died unexpectedly young, the battle she had with his family over keeping her and the kids in the family home nearly broke her. He had no will, as unmarried she had no widow pension or access to a lot of support given automatically to a wife. It was awful.

I’d be fucking fuming if I was the biological mum at that.
I’m sorry know your role. That’s a passive aggressive fuck you dig if I’ve ever seen one. To be fair Andy seems toxic as fuck

id imagine most loving mothers would care that their kids were happy and felt loved, no? As opposed to getting riled up over passive aggressive digs aimed at them or not.

as it stands it looks like the biological mother, for whatever reason, isn’t able to care for them full time. In which case I’d imagine she’s very happy that Billi treats them as one of her own, thinks of them as one of her own and includes them as one of her own.

a child can never suffer for having too many people in its life to love it. An extra mother is no bad thing - and if Billi is the one there for them on a day to day basis then she’s a mother figure surely, and can exist alongside their actual bio mother in their lives?

Set up or not set up you don’t invite girls back to your hotel room on your stag do

Yes girl, say it louder for those in the back

How he or anyone can justify this baffles me.

 

[Ktb]

Why should Billi feel embarrassed? She’s not the one in the wrong, that big nobhead is.
He’s the one who’s put himself in this predicament, not her ffs.

 

[Thegoodelife]

Speaking of Shelby I will never forget how aggressive sam spoke to her and called her a slag when she chucked the drink over him. Can’t believe she had a baby to that guy. Did Shelby go to the hen do!!!??????

 

[GoldSilver]

Maybe she’s saving her dream wedding dress for when she gets married to a decent bloke.

 

[stargirl89]

I’m getting married same time as her and tbh if that happened to me today I’d have a full breakdown. Sad for her . It’s not nice/ even if he’s passed out- they shouldn’t be having girls in their rooms. The robe just makes it x10 worse

 

[Emmagrace92]

I really like her, feel so sorry for her with the wedding coming up. He’s a twat to go back to a hotel room with these women regardless of anything happening.

BUT why did she have to tell the world? What has she gained in that apart from humiliating Billie (Andy more so obviously) if she wanted Billie to know send her a DM?

 

[kj135]

Oh god no! I really like billie! She’s taken on his two older children as her own. You can see how much she loves them. What a fucking little shit he is!! You don’t just cheat on your partner, you cheat on your children too!!!’

 

[Pineapple glitter]

I'm really am quite shocked that he just stands there on the sidelines with no desire to go towards her and take her in his arms or at least join her on the dance floor. She's really trying to entice him but he's not having any of it. It's really odd.

 

[cee-bee]

Poor Billi. She was in a lose lose situation and I think she’s just tried to make the best of it.

she could’ve left him at the alter, cancelled or postponed last minute. But that would create more hype and drama. She’s been waiting 8 years+ to get married. God knows what he’s told her, or what her brother has told her. Would you want to let a calculated woman ruin everything important to you for the sake of her 15 minutes on the basis of a very strategic couple of selfies? And what about the children and stepchildren? How do you protect them from it? The easiest option is to brush it off and deal with it later. Not the best option long term but probably the easiest.

whoever said Andy wanted a mother for his children was, IMO, bang on the money. I always thought they were a weird coupling. He evidently has a very troubled relationship with women (Madonna/whore
Complex much?). He sees Billy as the homemaker I think, someone his older kids love and who can act as a surrogate mother to them which absolves him of the responsibility of having to be a fully involved or responsible parent. He cheats because he wants to make sure she’ll tolerate it. He’ll only “commit” to marriage if he knows it’ll be on the terms he’s happy with, that requires very little actual commitment or compromise from him. Probably why it’s been 8 years of waiting too.

I don’t think he is genuinely in love with Billy, at all. I think it’s very sad that she’s in a mindset where she’s happy to accept all of this treatment and ignore all these red flags for, what? Money? Status? I just don’t think it’s worth it. Find a decent humble guy Billi, who brings you tea in bed, makes you laugh and would dread causing you unhappiness. Even if he is only on average salary. It’s worth a lot more than whatever that garbage Carroll is bringing to the table.
