It's obviously hard to say because people tend to pretend in the public to have a happy marriage when they dont actually have it (since 2015-ish Ioan was struggling with this, it became every year more apparent that he was unhappy), but generally speaking I had the impression that Ioan was happy until around 2015 (obviously it's again not easy to say because Alice had no Social Media until 2013). Of course this doesnt mean that Alice was awesome during that time, but that he simply didnt took her behavior as anything bad (it's quite common among many survivors to simply think you deserve it or something like that), the proposal story showed this well. It is telling - and of course it could be just a coincidence, the infamous 20 years itch, menopause, midlife crises etc period fell into this - that a shift happened when he was able to see (on twitter especially) how she treats others as well. What I'm trying to say with this is that I dont believe that he was in pure survival mode waiting to be rescued the entire marriage. And if he was I also believe that having kids helps here, at least temporaryGoing back to this comment from the last thread; I definitely think Ioan was guilt tripped into it. The miserable wedding photos say it all.Ioan Gruffudd & Alice Evans #225 Narcissistic abuser, but make it fashion.
As for AFE being lucky Bianca is mild mannered - I bet she wishes BW was more like her and they could spend their days scrapping on SM about each other and IG. That's AFE's idea of a good time. Then AFE might have a screenshot collection worth having LOL Yeah mAlice would have loved a...tattle.life
I dont think Alice is old-fashioned. The old-fashioned approach just happens in this case to support her cause.' Do you think she actually believes that she's the wronged party here and that Ioan is a narcissist?!'
In answer to this question in the previous thread. Yes, she thinks she was the injured party, and I doubt she will ever change her mind. I suspect she has a very old-fashioned view of marriage and that if you have children, you are married for life. I wonder if Alice's mother had a similar view, which is why Alice has ended up so damaged.
edited to include the question
No but because she's a narc, Darvoing comes naturally. Every accusation is a confession.'Do you think she actually believes that she's the wronged party here and that Ioan is a narcissist?!
Maybe her diagnosing Ella with fibro was part of her control over her.I have found myself interested in the case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. It seems that there has been an obsession with her in the US, now that she is out of prison. I am wondering if Ella has been following her story, and finds herself relating to some of the things that Gypsy went through as a child. I am not really referring to the Munchausen by proxy, but the control and isolation by her mother. Gypsy's father seems like a very nice and supportive guy, but Gypsy's mother kept him out of her life for years. She lied to Gypsy and said that he didn't want to be in her life. Gypsy's mother would also control her by withholding affection, unless she did as she was told. I may be way off, but I just can't help but wonder if this is striking a chord with Ella. If so, I hope she can begin to see how hard her father is trying to rescue her.
MOO
This alone really shows how stupid Alice is. If she'd had the strength and cunning to just keep her mouth shut she would have gotten everything she wanted after the divorce - Ioan being vilified as the bad guy cheater running off with the younger gf, Alice the poor martyred wife who had given up her career and the best years of her life to support his career and mother their children, no RO, a lot more money than she has now, and if she'd done the PA behind closed doors, she would have still kept the kids from him but without publicly being seen for the abuser she is. She could have even gone on to forge a career of sorts from it, maybe even been on one of those women's panel shows, gotten a column in a national newspaper, etc. She really shot herself in the foot over and over again, and now the majority of people who actually know she exists see her for the crazy abusive bitch she is. She's made herself a laughing stock and a byword for abusive women. Yet she's still out here telling herself and us she's as strong as an ox and the smartest person in the room.It's obviously hard to say because people tend to pretend in the public to have a happy marriage when they dont actually have it (since 2015-ish Ioan was struggling with this, it became every year more apparent that he was unhappy), but generally speaking I had the impression that Ioan was happy until around 2015 (obviously it's again not easy to say because Alice had no Social Media until 2013).

To answer the question: I mean, look at that woman Alice started following, the one that sends judges materials to educate them. And it's common over there: "Judges etc lack training in DV/DARVO etc, we know it better". Obviously this will be true in selected cases, but this system basically assumes that all Karens are in the right and the judges are all bad. And this is how it is with Alice too. She has the same belief that she is in the right and everyone else isnt.
The bizarre thing is that Alice would have been the wronged party (for normal people) in different circumstances. If she had kept it zipped the sole fact that Ioan started then dating a young woman later on (no matter how many years later) and retained most of their assets (as per prenup) would have created the narrative Alice so much craves. Heck, even just the divorce in itself does the job nowadays! and she wouldnt even have a Restraining Order, and quite possibly even a somewhat peaceful relationship to him as well.
Well the abuse wouldn't have surfaced via the court docs but anyone with a brain who took the time to look could see that it was an abusive relationship. Before the separation she was calling him a 'pussy' on twitter etc. Most people don't examine tweets though and it takes a DVRO for them to recognise that abuse was going on especially as the stereotypical roles are reversed and a woman is the abuser.If she'd had the strength and cunning to just keep her mouth shut she would have gotten everything she wanted after the divorce
Stop using four letter words on here Cookie! Alice is reading this.She could have even gone on to forge a career of sorts from it
I am sure for a part of the population this reductive interpretation would have been accurate. For me it is everything that is wrong with people who want to shame Ioan and catch blame in his direction. All he did was leave a marriage that wasn’t working. As painful as that is for the person being left, they shouldn’t automatically get wounded puppy status.This alone really shows how stupid Alice is. If she'd had the strength and cunning to just keep her mouth shut she would have gotten everything she wanted after the divorce - Ioan being vilified as the bad guy cheater running off with the younger gf, Alice the poor martyred wife who had given up her career and the best years of her life to support his career and mother their children, no RO, a lot more money than she has now, and if she'd done the PA behind closed doors, she would have still kept the kids from him but without publicly being seen for the abuser she is.

Damn! Does this mean I have to send her a case of wine to apologise?! I'm very sorry for my blasphemy and use of heinous four letter words.Well the abuse wouldn't have surfaced via the court docs but anyone with a brain who took the time to look could see that it was an abusive relationship. Before the separation she was calling him a 'pussy' on twitter etc. Most people don't examine tweets though and it takes a DVRO for them to recognise that abuse was going on especially as the stereotypical roles are reversed and a woman is the abuser.
However "everything she wanted" was Baby Angel living in the garage, pretending they had a good marriage and paying for her lifestyle and she wasn't going to get that. So for her, the next best thing was to publicly abuse him and BW as she knew how that would affect him. She also knew how withholding and PAing the kids would affect him, so she did that too.
Is your revenge still sweet Alice, now your name is mud?
Stop using four letter words on here Cookie! Alice is reading this.WORK??
He will have cheated on her for years while working away she just won’t have twigged on to it happening that’s why she’s gone bat shit crazy.This alone really shows how stupid Alice is.

There have been rumours about him being flirty but Alice is the one with the rumours of actual cheating, with one of her The Originals co-stars. I wouldn't be surprised if he had cheated, but not all actors who work away from home cheat. Most narcs however do cheat and I firmly believe Alice is a narc.He will have cheated on her for years while working away she just won’t have twigged on to it happening that’s why she’s gone bat shit crazy.
She admits she used to going through his texts etc to find out if there was any cheating. If there was, it was probably one night stands / escorts rather than the affair AFE had.He will have cheated on her for years while working away she just won’t have twigged on to it happening that’s why she’s gone bat shit crazy.
He ain’t that daft to use his main phone lol. He will have had a second one lol. Come on Alice how slow were you.She admits she used to going through his texts etc to find out if there was any cheating. If there was, it was probably one night stands / escorts rather than the affair AFE had.
She really used to bang on about escorts - I wonder if she was just fishing for info hoping someone would tell on him?
Nah I reckon that's how she made money in Paris before she landed Olivier.She admits she used to going through his texts etc to find out if there was any cheating. If there was, it was probably one night stands / escorts rather than the affair AFE had.

With what was waiting for him at home, I would actually recommend him for sainthood if he didn't cheat.There have been rumours about him being flirty but Alice is the one with the rumours of actual cheating, with one of her The Originals co-stars. I wouldn't be surprised if he had cheated, but not all actors who work away from home cheat. Most narcs however do cheat and I firmly believe Alice is a narc.
Every accusation is a confession, amirite?Nah I reckon that's how she made money in Paris before she landed Olivier.
