Gemma Atkinson #6 we've seen her abs more than Gorka has seen the kids.

I knew someone would say this and I nearly caveated my post with it but CBA, clearly I needed to 😅 I'm sure I speak for both me and the other poster when I say quite clearly we are educated enough to know that, obviously neither us had a problem with our child taking their father's name and it shouldn't be seen as this taboo, anti-feminist movement. There's a big difference between doing something from choice, and the same kind of thing that would be done many decades ago because there was none. Realistically there's a whole load of reasons people get married, and I don't think wanting to all share a surname is a bad one. It doesn't mean that's the only reason you do it (like you say, the security element is huge too), just gives you a bit of a push when it didn't seem too pressing beforehand. It is a piece of paper that humans have attached meaning to after all, it's really a none thing unless you are religious.

Ha, again same including the caveat bit!

FWIW I think snarking about Gemma and Gorka not being married yet is internalised misogyny. There's always emphasis on the fact the man hasn't asked or agreed to it, etc. like the woman is some sap waiting around dreaming of wedding dresses, etc. same when people go on about someone dressing up to 'keep their man'.

So my hunch was correct. He can barely look in the camera when he's with Gemma. Like a guilt thing.

So she's been doing the job of both mum and dad while he's been in bed with his lover.

Of course he is. Little Gonka is so selfish and self absorbed that he can’t bear to have to be second or third in Gemma’s affections so he’s found someone to make him feel like number 1

To be fair, this is the 3rd time she’s been engaged and never married -maybe she just likes the headlines and attention?

the lack of wedding coupled with the lack of him ever wanting to be home doesn’t scream happiness to me!

Or it might not be a priority in their life right now. Two kids, busy careers. I was engaged twice and didn’t marry my husband until 4 years after we got engaged. We our reasons, mainly wanting a very low key affair that would have pissed off my parents.

That "piece of paper" becomes awfully important when the relationship fails, or sadly, one partner dies. That's when you suddenly hear one partner saying "but how come I don't get......?" Because you weren't married! 🙄

Or you could, I dunno, make a will? Christ the marriage/women shaming is rife in this one.

Well you’re relying on the other person making a will, aren’t you? If they don’t? You can’t force someone to make a will, nor can you force them to leave you a single thing on it. It’s not “shaming” to point out that you don’t have the same legal rights as a married person. It’s fact. And it goes for both parties, so it’s certainly not “woman shaming” either.

It’s also important if you have significant wealth, which I’m assuming Gemma does 🤷‍♀️

I'm wondering if he's cheating on her

I don’t think so, I just think he isn’t interested. He can quite clearly come home during strictly as other pros did but chooses not to. It’s very said, I felt sorry for Gemma in the stories she posted a few days ago clearly distraught about her dog. Gorka just doesn’t give a duck but I would be very surprised if he was actually cheating. Unless it’s with himself 🤣

Someone said up thread he is cheating but hasn't said who with or any clue ( yet?)
 
I would add, Gorka has been home during Strictly this year. He’s been back & forth far more than in previous years. But once he stepped in for the Christmas special, that seemed to be the end of his visits home!

He’s back now though, so good news, Gemma can duck off & have a sauna. Which perhaps says it all about how much they’ve missed each other for the past few weeks!
