Hi all and welcome Calmwaters


Great post Trinsk..Pete is very hard to define or pin down...you can never predict how he will react to things.


He is a one off thats for sure

I think some people do not like that he is not some cardboard, one dimentional being. They feel a need to see ulterior motives in all he does or says.
We know that he has been entertaining, we know that he has deep feelings about issues - but can't always find a way to express his disapproval/approval. We know he has had traumas and struggles that he has had to overcome. Given his life circumstances and his tourettes, he has had a lot to overcome. I see no malice in Pete at all. What I see is a caring individual who knows what it's like to take a few knocks and is therefore understanding of other peoples feelings - he does not wish to hurt those around him as he knows what it's like to be on the recieving end.
The debates will continue - he is a complex person, with a bundle of insecurities that make him a sympathetic character. He has empathy - some see this as a weakness, I view it as a strength.
There's nowhere near as much dissection of other hms personalties, because they are for the most part one dimentional
Have a great day Pete fans!!
How understanding was he to Nikki's feelings when he gave that Heat interview, and when he let his friends give their interviews about her to the press?

Where was his empathy then, considering they both share a past of hospitalisation, single parent families, and illness and a need for acceptance. He should have empathised with Nikki's problems but he did not.

I thought Pete was a complex interesting character but his actions recently are leading me to believe he's one dimensional, i.e., his only thoughts are about himself and his public image.

Of course you can have empathy for someone, even if you have to make a difficult decision that concerns them!
The Heat interview would have been conducted to ask leading questions that the magazine feels the public is interested in. These interviews can take place days apart from other material that they wish to publish. The editor isn't stupid - hence why the mag is so popular. Of course they will print inflammatory/diverse opinions and interviews in conjunction with other 'relevant' articles, they always do... hence their choice to publish almost back to back Pete's interview and the relevant linked piece with his 'girlfriend'. You would have to be extremely naive not to realise this! It's not a question of control of material from Pete - it's a question of the magazine printing what and when they see fit to sell more mags. They could've been interviewed together and asked jointly questions that were then separated into two different articles. Either way, the mag wins... fills it's pages and gets discussed.
Pete has sympathy for Nikki (I wouldn't - she used him as a step ladder imo, but as I know neither personally, this is my own specualtion ) but if he had continued their fledgling relationship when he was unhappy, she would've been more hurt down along the line.
He should not be put into a situation where someone elses happiness is at the expense of his own - (nor should anyone) it's not healthy.
His 'actions recently' only proove that he is thoughtful enough to make some difficult decisions - which we all need to do at times, but we are not under such ridiculous scrutiny - thank God!

Hi maikas

I disagree with you completely i'm afraid.

The reason pete split up with nikki was because she was upsetting his freinds by being extremerly rude to them all, and it was also stressing him out, and stress makes him ill.

Plus, i think she was embarrasing him by having her under 5 year old style temper tantrums ....i mean it's fair enough saying he knew this about her and he was used to it in the house, but in the outside world it's obviously gonna be different isn't it.

Don't get me wrong i like Nikki but she's gotta be a lot to handle and i think pete as got far to many problems of his own to have to try and deal with hers as well, especially if she's not helping any by acting like a spoilt little child.

I mean imagine you was with Nikki, can you honestly say that you could stand next to her whilst she's having one of her tantrums and not feel embarrassed?

and the reason he did the heat interview was so he could tell people the reason why he split with her, and i'm sorry but i think of pete as an extremerly honest person and i'd take his word for it well before i'd take anyone elses.

If he hadn't of done one people would of probably been calling him saying, like, oh why's he keeping so quiet about it, he's probably got something to hide ....no matter what he'd of done he'd of probably got called, in my opinion.

Don't really know why i'm even talking about pete and Nikki ...it's slightly boring now, it's kinda old news.

Petes not a bad person .... the fact that people can only find 2 things wrong with him, Nikki and DF sorta show that.

Ok,

bye

Agree with you Pete has empathy for Nikki hes a sensitive guy and doesnt want to hurt anyone.if it canbe avoided. At the same time he has to put his own happeness and health first. Like you think Nikki used Pete to further her own interests and isnt as upset as is being made out.

Hi guys

As Dummy says..according to this weeks Heat Nikki has "Forgiven" Pete and they are going to meet up..so hopefully all this arguing and over analysing can come to an end.....at last.

There has been so much mud slung at Pete..for what???..ending a four week relationship that was started under surrreal circumstanses and didnt work in the real world and leaving a pub band in order to take up an offer of working with one of the leading song writers in the country...Hardly crimes of the century are they ?

With a bit of luck it will all settle down now..and common sense will prevail


Hahaha..who am I kidding?

hi rosemary

I agree with you completely ...glad Nikki's not sulking anymore (I don't mean sulking in a bad way, i mean like in the house, she'd like sorta sulk for a bit and then be ok again ...if ya get what i mean ...i'm not trying to call her or anything, just don't know how else to put it)

i wonder what people will call him about now ...sure they'll find something

(Sorry if you wanted to tell them about the heat interview first ... i didn't think about that)

Glad they are meeting up it would be lovely if they can remain friends. We can only hope that this puts en end to all the very nasty remarks about Pete. Have a feeling that whatever Pete says or does with some people he just cant win. Agree it is all getting very boring now.

Hi calmwaters

Agree with you completely, i just don't think that some people believe that someone can be as good and as beautiful of a person inside and out as pete is so they have to try and find the littlist thing to call him.

and it is little things cus he don't actually do anything bad, does he.

Cus i mean, i know pete is really good looking, infact he's gorgous, but i actually like his personality a lot more, i just think he's a really great person ... he's amazing
