BIB All the things Ioan has meant to have said come from Alice. Other than the court papers he is silent on the subject. His court submissions contain relevant contentions backed by factual evidence. As far as we all know Ioan has never said or done any of the things Alice attributed to him. Very often things Alice alleges others have done are things she herself has said and done. This especially applies to Ioan.I think Bianca gave Ioan the courage to leave Alice (as in she showed him that another type of relationship was possible - not that she ordered him to leave Alice), but I think he would have left her anyway. He even told Alice he would rather be dead than remain married to her.
Someone on here once said Bianca offered Ioan a life raft out of his marriage, and I think that's a very good analogy.
The more we learn about Alice, and the more she reveals her true nature, the less I can believe he was ever in a relationship with her. They seem poles apart. And Ioan matured over the years. Alice devolved.
- locking yourself in a bathroom with a bottle of booze sounds like a drama llama alcoholic performance.
- The I didn’t sign up for this sounds like the parent who was running amok declaring she wanted a divorce
- For I’d rather be dead see 2
The only suggestion that Ioan may have retaliated stems from the Ella confrontation with drunk Alice in her birthday. What Ella was throwing at Alice sounded adult and I think she maybe parroting Ioan’s criticism of Alice that she overheard. But it is entirely possible that too came from Alice following their counselling sessions. I can just hear her ranting about anything he said about her at those.
For me anything Alice says about Ioan is a lie designed to smear him. I don’t think there is any truth in it expect that it is something she had probably done or said to him. That’s when she isn’t just making stuff up.
