I don't think we're as far apart as you may imagine on many an occassion

They severed direct contact ...........indirectly they never did, that's part of the problem or do I mean solution?

They appeared sometimes to not like or care about each other in the house too, wasn't really true though was it but at the same time it was also often they themselves who were the last ones to be aware of it. Not saying that's the case now but not saying it isn't either, I simply don't know.

Easier to ignore too, well maybe, then again mabees not? it's fun playing Devil's advocate sometimes no?

What they'd have hired a hit man to take the other one out or a preacher to tie them together for eternity?

just kidding, I like your optimism even if I can't kinda share it for right now cause my logical mind needs more tangible proof

I like fairytales but I don't necessarily believe em

No!

really? ...........I'm not sure this post is doing much for my image as being a balanced person *ponders*

“ She s flaunted this new man in his face and when she could have kept it relatively private”
Ah but that could just as easily be a form of showing off to all those who tried to make her feel worthless as a sexually attractive woman while she was with John and also after when he hooked up with Girl Friend within two weeks at most (his timings) of leaving her. No one ever said she didn't have her fair share of female pride.

“hes acted true to form and erupted massively. Its such an overeaction to a simple request, its got to be another reason hes so angry.”
No one and I do mean no one managed to wind him up as much as Josie, ever, know why? because he could never control her, 'Ha that shut you up!' 'Carry on John unlike Rachel I won't beg for your friendship i'll just lock you out of my life'.....'you WILL care when I ignore you' 'Ignore this' etc etc I told you they're lions, always were, always will be, both wanted to be the dominant one in their relationship just because they're no longer in a relationship I doubt that's changed, grow up, move on, no you grow up, you move on, do you even think they realise how daft it ALL is :/

“He doesnt care whats written about him in magazines, he never cared what other ppl thought or wrote about him and said so often.”
John says a lot of things, he cared when people called him Fake and not Real, he cared when people accused him of being a Cheat, he cared when people said he was only with Josie to use her for fame/money, trust me when it comes to his character being called into question he cares and at the same time he doesn't give a rip too, lol..

“ I dont think Josie cares whether she wins the stupid competition or not or about the hate tweets, shes become de-sensitised to them,”
Yup

“she is looking for some sort of reaction from him and she pushed him too far this time.”
Don't know about that but she's definitely just as stubbourn and as unforgiving
Quote:
“She called him a manipulator, but I think they are both as bad as one another, what she is doing is completely manipulative and he knows it but still cant change the way he responds or feels.”
Oh for sure they both try and control / manipulate the other, exactly what he feels about her now absolutely positively no idea other than that he thinks she's a fruit cake, 100% deluded and desperate, can it be love?
Quote:
“John has remained relatively quiet he broke that silence this week and with a vengence. I cant believe his anger over a couple of emails”
No? are we definitely talking about John here?
Quote:
“ Tbh I feel sorry for both of them”
Don't be they're big enough and ornery enough to look after themselves mostly and also at times feel sorry for themselves too , can't for the life of me think why I like them so much
