Spot on,my friend is married,and have 2 kids,but her and her husband don't see eye to eye for a long time,i often ask her to end things if she is that unhappy,but as you said,the children,the mortgage.....easy said than done.

John's Being the one who makes the decision to end things and walk away is always easier though than being the one left behind because the choice is yours, it's the person left behind who ends up feeling powerless as they're given no option but to accept what is.
From what we know everyone she's ever opened herself up to has let her down in one way or another. It's clear she's a damaged person and someone who probably makes the same mistakes over and over again in her relationships not just with men but with everyone. Until she gets proper help with that she'll more than likely continue to do so and repeat the same patterns.
Yes it is but it's also fairly common when people screw up, much easier to look outwards and blame someone else rather than to look inwards and deal with your own less than noble words, sentiments and actions.”
First para:Not sure what you're trying to say,do you think was just pretending,that he said those thing just like that?Guess he was wasting his time on BB,he should have gotten with an acting agent lol.....
Also,Jose the one who dumped him,according to both,as they were so unhappy,the best thing was to take a break.
I think John is very immature to be in a relationship tbh,maybe if it was 5yrs later,they would've been right for each other,who knows,but i also think Jose never gave him a real chance,i think she judged him,on her previous boyfriends...we all do that i think,.
Agree,that's human nature,everyone does it.

Not going to comment on Josie's column. The only thing I will say is it seems we are back to the who was to blame, who loved the other person more, who was more devastated by it when it ended. As it has been said many times before the only people who know the answers to those questions are Josie and John and we know very little of it and that is the way it should be. Josie will have her side of the story and John will have his side of the story and they are probably totally different to each others

Wise words.

Well,then both were at fault here tbh,remember when Jose said,each time they argue,she tells him,what about the fans??Both were grateful for the support they got,but they should never have allowed it to go that far imo.

Re Josies column today, I am a bit confused, I thought I had read somewhere that Josie and b/f were going away at christmas to Thailand for three weeks (supposed to have been paid by article she did ) and that they were splashing out and going business class, (I may have got this wrong, so please do not shot me) but now she does not know where to spend christmas.”
She can still go,and return in time for Christmas

Been thinking about John and Josie.
If as John said The relationship went downhill
from January, how come they looked totally in love in February.
If the love was dying or dead at that time all i can say is
what actors they both are . Oscar material.
I know it was a photo shoot but you cant hide the eyes.
They will give you away every time.
And the eyes in that Fab shoot showed real and i mean REAL love.
So on this occasion i do not believe John
when he said the breakdown in their relationship started in January.
Yes things may have got more difficult bit neither were prepared to compromise.
Having JJ live with them did not help in mo EITHER.
Josie once said he showed her more affection when they were alone.
I think i have said enough on the situation
and its not helping at all is it.
I feel so sad cos they had something wonderful and they threw it away.
Love and respect them both always.
Sorry for rambling.
Just thinking aloud.”
Maybe a case of putting up a front.Or there were periods when they were happy,but most of the times they were arguing.
