I think many of us have experiences of a manipulative partner. I’ve been there too, I was unknowingly the ‘other woman.’ He had the money and means to live a double life very easily (Multiple properties, worked away a lot). The supposed ex and mother of his child whom he said was mentally ill, had fallen pregnant to trap him and who he said had split from years prior.. they were still living together and engaged!! She was a stay at home Mum doing his bloody ironing, cleaning and planning the big wedding he had repeatedly called off.. whilst he was off galavanting on fancy holidays with me asking me to move in with him and to meet their child?! Anyways long story short someone gave me a heads up he was leading a double life. I contacted her and we spoke. I was disgusted and never spoke to him again. Found out she forgave him a week later and married him a few months after that. I felt angry that she had let him get away with it all. (Probably why celebs like Jac piss me off so much). But now I just feel really sad for her. It was easier for her to vilify me and the other women she’d found out about over the years, than the man she doted on. I do hold out hope she bins him off some day and finds true happiness but I won’t hold my breath. Same with Jac and Coleen.. hell will freeze over before they walk away.
