Charles Saatchi To Divorce Nigella Lawson

[Sharingan]

Interesting it should be that way around. Had the photographs of him 'strangling' her not surfaced I wonder if this would be happening? Not really a question merely thrown open for comment.

LOl @baldric. Must be true; the first time , the wife takes half as her share and the second time the wife takes a half of what's left. Only a billionaire can divorce a third time; who can live on one eighth?

[Sharingan]

It's like the joke ' Can a woman really make you a millionaire?'
' Yes if you're a billionaire' :)

[Psybbo]

wonders if Balders is hard up

[hc4361]

Apparently he doesn't eat her cooking. He is very fussy and lives on grilled, plain fish and eggs.

Surely that is the biggest insult he can give any wife of his, let alone a celebrated chef.

[DTCwordfan]

well now he is going to be the sole chef in his kitchen; Nigella's put him in his plaice.

[Rosetta]

obviously not sole mates ..... sorry

How do you put your hands around someone's throat in a normal friendly manner?

[tonyav]

Dunno Daisy, good job it was a friendly strangling then wasn't it !.

[DTCwordfan]

He's claiming she has done so in the past........let them battle it out and not in the tabloids. Next thing we will see is AOG pontificating on about their marriage as it's spread like rancid margarine across the Daily Wail.

[themorrigan]

He seems to me a horrid obnoxious bully who can't bare to admit anything is his fault -he is divorcing his wife-I bet he's bloody not - I bet she's divorcing him but he's too arrogant to 'allow' that. Horrible greasy sleaze ball I am so glad she's seen sense and this will send out a valuable positive role model to women in similar circumstances

[DTCwordfan]

Speculation, themorrigan; in truth, we have no idea but it usually takes two to tango.

[DaisyNonna]

So you don't dance DT?

[DTCwordfan]

No just personal jives, daisy! Been there, done that.

[DTCwordfan]

(not the strangling, mind you!)

[themorrigan]

DTC ,I absolutely do not agree that in this situation it 'takes two to tango' .By this statement you are virtually saying that every woman who is physically abused in a relationship deserves it as she must be giving as good as she gets - ridiculous!"!!

[Sharingan]

While the photos look damning no-one except the people concerned know how either of them were in their marriage and I would be hesitant to make the call in this instance. A very attractive domestic goddess in tears at the hands of a withdrawn reclusive man 20 years her senior is a very appealing heroine, as long as it's all one sided, which is what we don't know, so I won't damn him just because of one photo, although I do tend to think he would not have accepted the caution unless he was as guilty as sin.

[DTCwordfan]

themorrigan - you have absolutely no idea what has been going on between them, neither do any of us and I can guarantee the papers certainly do not. We won't know unless both of them speak out.

I do not condone violence in life be it in or out of marriage or whatever. You are stretching your logic to the extremes of your fantasy, not mine, but please refrain from making personal assumptions on my behalf.

[themorrigan]

DTC obviously we only have one side of the story and thats from the press. Having said that -please explain then what you mean by 'it takes two to tango'?

[DTCwordfan]

the majority of divorces involve issues on both sides, surely that is pretty obvious.

[jno]

entirely agree, Sharingan, photos in a paper are no way to demonstrate what goes on in a marriage. It sounds - from what he's said and what she hasn't - as if they'd be better off apart; but no way is that my decision to make, or anyone else's.
