Captain Mark Phillips and Family - Page 5

I think she really just likes being a countess, having married 2 earls and 1 count. As long as she is not committing fraud she can pretty much call herself whatever she wants. French titles have no meaning in the UK so being Dowager Countess Spencer has more cachet.
Somehow I doubt being the ex-Mrs Mark Phillips will have the same cachet, perhaps the 3rd Mrs Phillips won't find much cachet in the name either if she adopts it. Still he is not really that old so there is still a chance there could be a 4th (probably in high school now).

4th Candidate for being Mrs. Mark Phillips?

Mabe baby? (young papa 60+) younger than his granddaughters? This woman would probably like to become a mother, and he should take it into account.

Earl Spencer at least marries women close in age to him, and not ones who could be his daughters.

I'm wondering if that is why Peter left his job with RBS to look after the family estate. That is if the reports are true that his father is moving to the US to be with the new girlfriend. I honestly don't know what a 35 yr old woman can see in a twice married 63 yr old man. He's old enough to be her father. Can't see this relationship lasting. Sorry for all those involved.

I don't watch judge Judy and I despise women who sleep with married men. In the war of the sexes we have been taught to view it as us vs them and women are from Venus while men are from Mars. For a fellow Venusian(just made that up) to do such a thing to her fellow sister pisses me off to no end. The # 1 on my hate List is Tori Spelling. Thats not to say i dont blame the man, i definitely do. Mark has proven to be a low life dog and he continues to act the part.

Age dosn`t matter when you fall in love

Biri · #88 05-05-2012, 06:38 AM

But how long this love lasts when he gets old and be weak and sickly, and she still healthy, strong woman? Will she sacrifice herself to care for an old man?

That's true but, I guess to each their own what ever makes them happy.

Captain Mark Philliips cheated on both of his wives. Not a very good track record. I don't think much of those who are married and cheat on their spouses and I have a very low opinion of women who sleep with a married man. It would be one thing if the woman didn't know he was married (this is rare though) but in this case Lauren Hough knew that he was married.

Did either of them ever think of what this might do to his family? His children? His wife? I imagine Lauren Hough probably didn't think about how it would impact her (usually a woman whose had an affair with a married man is judged more harshly than the man involved). I don't think anyone really thinks about this until after the fact or when it has been found out.

I realize that there are two sides to a story but this is not the way to go.

I feel the same.

Really, Anne must have been deluded to marry this man, because I can't imagine she knew what he really was! There are already calls for him to resign from his coaching job. He may not care, he's wealthy enough.

But I firmly believe that what goes around, comes around.
Wait'll his young lover gets sick of taking care of him and dumps him and he's left alone in his old age.

cepe · #93 05-05-2012, 06:08 PM

Lots of finger pointing going on. We have no idea the state of the existing marriage. People in a happy and fulfilling marriage don't, in my opinion, need to wander. MArk Philips is taking all the blame because he has fallen in love with someone else. Hence sympathy for the "abandoned" woman. But we don't know anything about his wife. It's private and I would so prefer that it could have stayed that way. Picking over other people's relationships is pointless.

Thats when the 4th Mrs Phillips steps in. She should be out of high school and maybe even university by then.

XeniaCasaraghi · #95 05-05-2012, 06:36 PM

I personally don't give a crap if his marriage was happy and if it wasn't that's why he wandered. If you are unhappy then get a freaking divorce and then fall in love with some chick! But as long as that ring is still on the finger you are still in a freaking contract!
As for this wife #3 getting tired of taking care of him, women are more likely to stay with a man and take care of him when needed as opposed to men who if faced with the situation will bolt.

grevinnan · #96 05-05-2012, 06:47 PM

We have no idea what their marriage has been like nor if his wife has been loyal so perhaps blaming him is a bit premature. However, he will not be the US coach for much longer. The US puritanical official view will make it impossible for him to remain with the team. Notwithstanding that many of our official persons have a less than stellar trackrecord as far as marriage fidelity, but that is a whole other story.

I agree about first divorcing and then finding new happiness. Being married for almost 19 years, and basically happy at that, I can imagine some people being bored or wanting excitement, and that is dangerous if u cross the line because, you can go into a very grey area. You can't say each to their own as Long as they are happy (Kelly 1972) because if you crush your wife and kid by being happy, you are not truly happy, it is not true happiness, just lust and illusions

I should have added my comment with sarcasm. I don't think that it's a funny situation though. His wife and children I'm sure are devestated. I think Lauren Hough and Mark Phillips are the ones that are going to have to live with their actions.

I totally agree with this! From what I have observed, some people start affairs and keep their wife/husband "just in case", so......if my lover dumps me I still have my wife/husband.....if my wife/husband finds out I'm having an affair then I've still got my lover to fall back on.

Really, the prim and less than good looking Anne was busy writing love letters to her and probably sleeping with her, now, trapped, husband, Tim Laurence. Her brother had a lover, so what does this make this guy. They are all a pack of ......
