‘I Was Conned By A Fireman Who Was Living A Double Life’ | This Morning

[@oliviajayward]

how can people get away with living two lives? it’s crazy. poor woman, she’s so strong.

[@GuitarJammerJohn]

I just don’t get who has time for that like surely it’s exhausting to keep up the illusion of two separate lives. It just doesn’t seem like it even benefits the person doing it either because you permanently have to keep up this shield of what your other life is.

[@StephanieRoseie]

Many Women are going through the same situation women are strong 💪

[@fluffgirl1000]

i wonder were those guy get the energy and how do they remember all those lies..

[@amo2464]

Exactly. I struggle to look after just one household! Those men mustn't have time for sleep

[@al85v]

Hahaha Phil knowing very well what he was actually doing 😅😅😅

[@bm.6349]

I guess the difference is his boyfriend knew he was married.

[@jeanetteh.9240]

Poor woman. The pain in her eyes while she talked about him was so sad to see. I'm very glad he is in jail and she is happy now.

[@littleleafyleaf]

You know how she said there were no red flags or warning signs earlier on? There actually was one, as sad as this is - the two sets of flowers in one day was one. That is a sign of love bombing (because it was an excessive thing to do, and I’m sure that wasn’t a once off with that guy) I know it’s sad that we have to be cautious of something like that, but as someone who has been in 3 long term relationships with narcissists I can attest to ignoring red flags such as these. You have to trust your gut over any feelings of excitement or loneliness or whatever it may be - trust your gut!

[@brittneyihrig4270]

What sort of signs did you ignore?

[@melinmove]

Exactly this, the excitement, lust and desperation to be with someone clouds your judgement.

[@genuinelygood]

Oh Philip. It’s a bit hard to hear u right now

[@melinmove]

[@knoxylad4318]

When you are a dad you shouldn’t live a double life

[@Chop2016]

[@mandyholmberg5106]

I am sending out my thoughts and prayers and love to her good luck ❤

[@tomchloe3208]

Phil was taking notes

[@Katzeblow]

😂

[@AB-nv4ge]

Yeah! Just ask Phil. He's the expert liver of 2 lives!

[@JustaMomnFamily]

This is sad. Strong to get through this and not shy away from life

[@EllaLay-rk9eo]

It was like a race for who could get through the story the quickest 😂

[@mirandasworld]

i don't understand why her sister said that Coleen deserved an Academy Award for bringing him over to her house to confront him because Colleen basically tipped him off by saying in the car "You wouldn't lie to me would you"? "swear you wouldn't lie to me"....from that moment the game was up and he knew that they were waiting for him to confront him at her sister's house which is when he drove off. saying he needed time to think....she should have said "nothing" in the car and pretended that everything was normal and ok...i don't get why she couldn't keep up the act for just a few short minutes to make sure she got him into the house where he would have been trapped

[@brabbit3389]

Living a double life right Phil - sounds familiar?😂

[@lyndahyndman8569]

Beautiful lady 😢 you will find Mr right - just hard to trust anyone.

[@allyhaigh2318]

He sent her a message on the dating site with no photo! Red flag! He then said he couldn’t show himself as he was a fireman! Biggest red flag!! This is right at the start before she even met him. Desperate and deluded springs to mind! Having watched the recent documentary it’s so obvious he was a colossal bullshitter!

[@Amalie.x7fv]

Sounds like there were some red flags- love bombing, at least. Not her fault at all, she didn’t know any better, but I wish more people were educated about different red flags in relationships so they could know what to look for and avoid dangerous people

[@markhooper4532]

Winnie Wallace..How do they lead two lives...Something isn't right here..

[@bonblue4993]

Why do men do this? I just can't imagine why anyone would want to spend one minute being a complete liar!

[@jacobs3031]

Because women want them that's why 😅

[@bonblue4993]

Typical answer from a guy. I know lots of women who are not that way.@@jacobs3031

You have to watch out for covert narcissists, they have no conscience and are delusional bleeding a double life is very common for them

[@Ras6200]

There's the whole story in a series of short episodes on BBC sounds. Title Love Bombed. Those episodes goes into more details about the elaborate deceit and why it appeared so real. It wasn't simply a case of a few too many flowers. It was way more complicated thst that. For instance he invented people and created email addresses for them. There were some (now unidentified) people that the lady was introduced to as whoever. She heard other people speaking on the end of the phone about tbings he'd told her. He shook hands with an estate agent on a deal for a new house and got other friends and family involved in fake charity and rugby club deals and events.

[@iangallager4091]

I hope his real wife has run for the hills after all that.

[@amo2464]

Got a feeling she stayed with him

[@racquelford1595]

Men never satisfied how can this man living a double life and his wife and children have no idea that daddy is missing for hours day and night his wife was too dum to not know his husband is living a double life bowy that some questions

[@tabithatalks3162]

I am the only one that googled every person I dated. I needed to meet their friends, family etc before I am getting serious.

[@lorralorra222]

When did he go home to his other family ?

[@fudge9720]

[@trish.goes.ironman]

Geez, if you're bored just role play, or separate, file a divorce, find someone who gets your drift, or someone into swings, or polyamory etc... don't ruin lives, that's disgusting!

[@katiebaker5662]

And I think one life is exhausting

[@matthewjopling672]

I feel like Gar Lewth is living a double life because we havent heard off him, lately 🤔

[@Ann-sj4pt]

Nuts.

[@Sherri1971US]

Nowadays everything is on social media. Easy to check someone out. Women needs to check men out. Take responsibility how could you not know. To good to be true.

[@acd1168]

[@Milicombobily]

Abortion is wrong period. She will regret that decision and probably already does...prayers for her.

[@Frostjotnar]

It’s wrong for you, you’re not in a position to say she would regret having another child with this sorry excuse for a man.

[@TPH250290]

Because your big imaginary friend in the sky says so?
