I’ve had some inside goss here and there thanks to someone I know (this makes me sound ridiculous but don’t want to drop a babe in the shit for gossiping) but Phil was always vile towards Helen, saying things like he wasn’t attracted to her and comments about her body. Helen isn’t the best person out there, hence why we’re all here on a tattle thread about her, but christ the stuff I heard about the way he treated her when he was punching with her anyway. And this info is coming from someone that personally knows and doesn’t like Helen.
I really hope she does spend some time on her own, but obviously if she’s wanting kids and everything when all her friends around her seem to be more stable I won’t be surprised if she rushes into something again. It’s really sad to see and I do feel for her, honestly. I know we all joked about there being a christmas breakup but it almost seems a bit cruel when it actually happens. Hopefully she doesn’t settle on the next person and does a lot of personal growth before the next one.
