She and Peter Murrell are divorcing.
I wonder who gets to keep the campervan?

I knew it was you FGT, without even looking at who had started the thread! 🤣

I don't blame her.
He let her down very badly.

Hardly recognised her from that picture.

Looks to have aged a lot.

(I speak as one who has kept her youthful looks)

😂

We’ve heard about marriage of convenience, is divorce of convenience a new concept?

MissAdventure Mon 13-Jan-25 15:06:19

She has got unhitched.

I think its sad, I have a lot of respect for her,

I don't wish to mock or think its funny,

who knows what goes on in marriages?

Exactly this.

Well I think she is right o off load him if she thinks he is dishonest and/ or cant be relied upon. Perhaps he just has annoying habits and she has had enough. It happens. I hope they will both be a lot happier apart then.

In what way, exactly, do you assume I am mocking or think it is at all funny??

They have been separated for some time and, after he let her down so badly and publicly I do not blame her.

he let her down?
Mutual, I would have thought.

So sorry Allira, crossed wires,

I just used your quote as an introduction to say I felt it was sad as I agree he let her down badly as you said.

I felt that FGT remarks were mocking not yours, I should have quoted her directly.

Yes, same here. What a nasty, unpleasant thread.

Oh, ok.

I wondered what I'd said!!

Guilty as charged Marydoll. I couldn’t resist!

flowers

Wyllow3 Mon 13-Jan-25 15:36:38

Flowers for Allira.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Mon 13-Jan-25 15:43:12

I thought perhaps the flowers were for Nicola!

Allira Mon 13-Jan-25 15:46:56

Flowers for Allira.

Ooh, thank you 🙂

Yes, I think Nicola does deserve some too, it must be a stressful time although perhaps it's a relief to make that final decision.

Sorry FGT but I think it's cruel and thoughtless to just mock as you have been doing.

woodenspoon Mon 13-Jan-25 15:53:59

I expect as more is exposed in due course we will all get to the bottom of it. Let’s hope they’re happier apart.

HousePlantQueen Mon 13-Jan-25 15:54:16

Nobody knows what goes on in a marriage apart from the two people in it. It's not a humorous subject either

Oh come one, it's what Politicians are for!

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Mon 13-Jan-25 16:04:35

Oh goodness me. This couple split amicably ages ago.
Divorce is what they want.
No one has died people.

Boz Mon 13-Jan-25 16:06:05

Except Scottish independence.
