AG is awake. The gifs are pish. It’s thought that may be a kid, right?

Because they’re still his kids.he loves them. And he still wants to repair their relationship. But I do believe they were likely told in therapy so they could talk about it with their support.

That is something that has always warmed me to Bianca, that she not only pulls her own weight, money-wise, but she is always extremely classy and put-together without spending a fortune. Her ring not being the very most expensive jewel she could have and yet being tasteful and meaningful is her all over (from what I've seen!)

Even if Alice wasn't an abusive, soul-sucking nightmare, IG and her interests have never really been aligned anyway. She likes glamour, fashion and excitement and lots of expensive material things and expensive holidays (regardless of whether her travel companions will enjoy it - taking two small children to Harry's Bar in Venice for a ridiculous example), she likes being indoors, drinking heavily, dressing up for premiers and getting photographed, and is obsessed with social media. She really married the wrong person for her. But she's the type to have bankrupted anyone she'd married to be honest.

IG doesn't seem the slightest bit interested in being on social media beyond the bare minimum, loves being outdoors hiking, has stopped drinking, is happy to live a minimal life generally, splashing out on travel to spend time with friends and family - again, often outdoors, or visiting cultural places of interest rather than acquiring possessions (it always makes me laugh how many years he's worn the same jackets and sunglasses for instance). His faith and Welsh heritage has always been very important to him, whereas Alice doesn't have any interest in either thing.

Bianca's interests and values seem to slot in with his really well, which just makes any relationship easier. And she's engaged with the world - she wants to get out there and see things, learn new things, and not just because it's a sign of status. And again, she isn't a weight around his neck regarding money either, they both seem happy to live within their means and live fairly low-key lives with the odd luxury here and there. It must be such a relief not to have to watch someone spunk every penny he makes on a bunch of crap every time he had money in the bank. Now he just has to give her a regular, predictable amount each month. (Honestly, I'd bloody love to be divorced from IG - the life I'd lead on 10k a month for nothing!)

Just as a sidenote: Peridot is significantly cheaper than emerald (that both we and the DM first thought). This ring wasn't expensive.
If the peridot isn't expensive, the diamonds are! (agree of course that Ioan can spend whatever he damn well pleases on a ring when he shells out so much in support per month!)

I love your post @StewPots!

None of us know what life has in store for us.

I went into an operating theatre for a perfectly ordinary operation, came out with a very complicated broken thigh, 4 years and operations later, and I am either staggering on 2 crutches indoors, or always in a wheelchair outside. Forbidden to walk outside by my surgeon, if anything else happens to the same leg, I lose it. Not a pleasant thought

But you should have seen me speeding up my steep hill to M&S Food Hall this morning in my power chair!

Mobility Aids are a lifesaver for so many of us

Bianca will be a beautiful bride, on her own 2 feet, on 4 wheels, with a cane or given a piggy back down the aisle by a charming Welshman!

I was around fan sites for Ioans 1st engagement and marriage and I can the confirm that the joy we have all expressed for I &B today, bares no resemblance to the reaction to I & AFE news!

Maybe the money saved on an expensive diamond will be spent on an extended exotic first class honeymoon.

I would love this! And given that Alice was always Alice Evans, Bianca would technically be Ioan’s first Mrs Gruffudd
And if she does change her name - and that’s completely up to her - she’d definitely have some respect for the Welsh spelling and not anglicize it.

A surprise proposal must chap the Abuser's ass after she had wait so many years and then practically beg for it.

From what he's said previously, Ioan wanted what he thought was the glamorous Hollywood life of a star actor too when he was younger. I think he was very naïve and immature when he met Alice and she really swept him off his feet, but 20 years with her matured him. There's nothing like a relationship with a narc to teach you with brutal clarity exactly what is and isn't important to you in a relationship and in life.

That’s ridiculous. What an absolutely hateful thing to say. She’s in better shape than most of us, even with MS.

Exactly. How many of us can say we are the same person we were 20 years ago? I know I'm completely different.

And this is what Alice doesn't get. Yes, they made vows and got married. But they grew too far apart, for various reasons. Setting aside Alice's treatment of Ioan, he changed as a person. He gave up drinking, while Alice moaned on social media that he wasn't fun anymore since giving up the booze.

He realised he was moving in a very different direction to the way Alice was moving. Some people both change in a relationship but can still stay together, while others can't.

Oh, how shocking! A second marriage after leaving POS abuser. IDIOT.

I know it adds to the drama but I wish they wouldn’t mention Alice in articles about the engagement. When I got married last year, I’ve mentioned that right? My first husband wasn’t mentioned or asked for a statement.

The People article reads like the restraining order is against Ioan! That’s crappy. Hope that is corrected soon.

It's not a shock to anyone. Why do these eejits make up shit. The legal agreement is literally for him to support the kids. It will be a real thump to the ground when the final settlement comes through in a couple of months though, Al has thoroughly fucked herself over.
