I really did like maff, I liked his YouTube channel - I liked when they lived in that condo together and he made her tea. YES they did fight, but it seemed like Helen needed that. I never saw a spark between her and mark
Ps, Ben was the worst and they had this terrible yippie dog that she HATED
I always felt that Maff was pushed into doing a lot of things, he got such flack from her stans saying that he was using her to get his own YouTube and then Helen pushed him into doing creating a YouTube channel which was all controlled by Helen. He never seemed the kind of guy who was “in it for the fame.” And obviously wasn’t as we see now!
I really felt for him when he broke his arm, and understood why he had frustrations and how the anger issues could have got worse - he couldn’t do his carpentry and had to be out of work for a while. Plus Helen was editing in a lot of their fallouts etc at that time and even though he could say some mean things, I’ve always had a feeling that Helen can give as good as she gets, but obviously won’t edit herself in the same light.
He got such a hard time when he was setting up his new business, and everyone claimed Helen did the most and supported him financially. I dunno, to me Maff ALWAYS seemed like such a hard worker. Carpentry ain’t easy! Plus setting up your own business and getting established takes a long time and carries a lot of stress and uncertainty!
But like I said before he looks like he’s doing so so so well for himself these days, and even admitting that he got therapy for his issues is a huge step in personal growth. I think leaving Helen and her YouTube world was the best thing he ever did for himself.
