I think this is more about Alice not understanding the law, thinking it doesn't apply to her, believing Lupine's BS, and being on a PR exercise about what a 'lovely kind, person' she is. She genuinely believes that she hasn't 'spoken' to her husband for over a year. But she has. It is perfectly reasonable that he refused to take her abusive calls so she resorted to having a one-way dialogue with Ioan in an unreasonable manner via:"but he..." what? did he pull out of it and that's what her "he is scared to go to court" is about? Or is that about him being in the UK?

she really should shut up about this entirely
I really hope not. Because without a proper RO in place she will continue doing exactly what she's been doing. I don't believe she will stop. And yes, she had seemed quite confident the last few days. It's unsettling.something about this situation strikes me as odd. Alice seems very confident the past days, Lupine mentioned "developments" today, Ioan went to a trip to Wales (that would have pushed her buttons) that he easily could have done later.
I do wonder if he is considering giving her a chance in which case he is a fool.
The way she is using those children to make herself look the victim absolutely sickens me. An eight year old does not have the capacity to think in this way. An eight year old would say your look pretty. She really is a dreadful Mother all round. What a terrible role model for those girls!There was a post where supposedly Elsie asked why all the makeup Mama? And she says I don’t know I just never do it so I thought I would. And Elsie replies, I know you, you’re hoping Daddy will think you’re pretty again. I’d say by that time it was too little too late.
I have this receipt somewhere given by another poster and it’s in the first or second thread. If I ever have enough time I’ll try and find it.
The evidence shows that Alice was/is abusive. Ioan submitted evidence - not opinion, not conjecture. Alice has been harrassing and abusing him and his loved ones since the divorce. It's not a huge leap to think that maybe it has been going on since before the divorce. I don't understand how anyone can defend an abuser.Because none of us know what has really happened behind the scenes.
It's easy to go off into judgement fantasy land and build things that turn out not to be based in reality - life has taught me that and about my own tendency - being honest- to do same.
In life, sometimes we build a picture or opinion, only to be pulled up short/amazed to find out we were wrong and we'd jumped to wrong conclusions
It's 'easy done'.
I'm looking at the whole thing and I'm getting some different impressions from what seem to be the predominant ones here.
None of us REALLY know.
I think it's good, and a better look, to keep that in mind.
Outside of her current trough, from what I've seen, I'm really not an Alice fan, to be honest.
She seems to be cushioned, out of touch and a bit of an opinionated useful idiot - like a lot of people in Hollyweird.
But I do feel/suspect she's been somewhat wronged by Ioan.
Ioan - hmm, seems quite full of himself, with a nice little humble Valleys Boy veneer.
Did he fundamentally want a new nubile smiling young thing on his arm?
Who wasn't 'dragging him down' with domestic worries and demands and 'we want you home's?
BW - seems a bit 'too good to be wholesome' to me, if anyone's ever heard that old saying. I'm not buying it.
I don't know her and I'm sure she's not all good or all bad but Saint Bianca of Wonderful? No
Wtf did I just read?Look at his hand, in his pocket. What's it doing? Cheap suit with shallow pockets? Or is his hand clenched into a fist regardless of pocket-depth?
AE's expression looks sad, despite the smile (and look at the size of his head compared to hers which isn't even small)
IG looks the same as he does in many photos: smug, full of his own self-delight, mummy's pretty little boy
They must have decided on this pose in advance, with her for some reason portraying the big-sister role. I used to believe AE had a strongly masculine presence. But now, I suspect it's more a case of IG having a strong little-girl presence
Why is his hand in his pocket? And should we guess it's the same with his other hand?
Why aren't his arms around her? I mean, ask yourself why. And this isn't the only photo of this kind featuring the pair of them. Compare it to photos of yourself with your man at the time. Would he have stood with his hands in his pockets? What would you have thought if he had? Do your daughter's husband or lover stand like a tin-god with his hands in his pockets as she hugs him? What would you think if he did? Be honest
Remember the interview in the garden with AE, IG and Piers Morgan? Remember little boy IG clutching AE's hand throughout? It looked awkward as hell and made him look like a mentally deficient idiot who was reliant on hanging onto AE-Mum as if his life depended on it. What was that about and why didn't Piers or the photographer quit filming to explain that in order to get the three of them in the shot, they were being compelled to show IG leaning far over in order to hold AE's hand which would look strange to viewers, particularly as IG seemed incapable of existing on his own in his own chair and as AE was seemingly so accustomed to IG's clinginess and so sensitive to his needs that she tolerated the sheer unmanliness of him
Did IG develop an overwhelming revulsion for AE during her pregnancies and afterwards? Was/is he revolted by womanliness generally, except when it applies to his mother? Is that what happened, same as Priscilla Presley claimed occurred between her and the mighty Elvis once she'd given birth? If so, no wonder AE grew more and more despondent and no wonder she wants to rip IG's guts out now
As for BW and her Pollyanna performance -- she's savvy and has friends. She didn't fall out of a rainbow. Hope she's thinking about all this, because no matter how much people choose to paint IG as the 'good' one in contrast to Bad Alice, BW knows from life experience that this can never be the case outside women's fiction. Hope she's getting in with a few questions of IG. And if she plans a long term relationship with him (I tend to suspect there's no intimacy between them outside IG fangirls' heads) she might be wise not to contemplate having a family with him and instead cultivate into old age her virginal innocence role, for fear she and her widening thighs and hips cause him to find her as repulsive as he appears to find AE
The balance argument was more relevant 12 months ago. So much has changed. It’s not that people do not want it, it’s that despite having balance, there is never a good reason or excuse to harass someone like she has been. You can’t balance out Ioan’s involvement based on what Alice has told you. She is a liar. He has never spoken up and the only information you have from Ioan is that he says he didn’t cheat, left a marriage and tried to divorce Alice collaborativelyWhy do people want balance? Maybe people enjoying reading different viewpoints and considering different perspectives? It's a healthy thing to do, IMO. We can accept Alice has behaved despicably and hurt/continues to hurt people but also discuss how the situation must have been hard for her. In acknowledging that, we're not saying it's okay that she's been acting abhorrently, we're just acknowledging the full picture.
If other people want balance and you don't like it, you don't have to engage but you also don't run this thread and don't get to dictate the tone of it.
Who said she'd manage to twist the bombing of the Ukraine into being about her divorce? She's half way there.She seems very convinced that the RO wont be granted

so she has stood up to her mirror?

I did not, actually! Someone else on here mentioned it and I had no clue since I hadn't seen Harrow yet. I plan on watching it as soon as possible!@Hiraeth i did think of you yesterday, the other half and I started to watch Harrow S1 again and saw the episode with a lot of mentions of your name, it was the name of a boat (am sure you knew that!)
