I truly think Manley is an insecure little man who has no idea what masculinity or being a father looks like. He thinks he can speak to women like shit but I bet you any money there’s men who he would never speak to like that because they would sort him out good and proper.
Where are the men in his family? Where’s his dad or his sisters “baby father” (I really hate that term) because I’d love to know who told him that being a man means controlling your girlfriend, expecting her to dedicate her life to you when you yourself cannot commit to a job never mind a marriage to ONE of THREE “baby mamas”. offer NO provision for said girlfriend who is supposed to drop everything so she can chat to your chavvy, enabler mum and undignified, unintelligent and CRIMINAL sister
. A man is supposed to provide for his children, protect his family and offer SECURITY! Especially emotional security, at the end of the day he has 2 daughters and a BABY, how difficult is it to be a decent human and treat them with kindness and respect. Masculinity and fatherhood doesn’t necessarily mean he has to pay for absolutely everything but you should be able to feed and clothe the family/children YOU created…but somehow I don’t see pocket money Manley being able to do that. EMBARRASSING! He thinks being masculine is wearing black clothing and “hanging outside shops throwing things at police”
Mate, he can’t control what comes out of his mouth, never mind take control of his OWN LIFE. Mia being able to take care of herself and her own affairs, never mind her confidence is killing him. He’s not a man.
I don’t even mean to come across offensive when I say this but the more time goes on the more I think Amber may be on the spectrum. There’s just something about her lack of social awareness during the whole time she’s been on the show. She can’t seem to cope emotionally with anything either. She also shows signs of having learning difficulties. I found her very hypocritical last series when she was laying out all Ste’s flaws to try and encourage him to get diagnosed with something when I feel like she probably has more issues that need addressing than he does.
