Jade Billington #3 Jade's gone AWOL, is Matt off the payroll?

[krillernew]

It's so sad for Jade to be blindsided like that because she has literally said (verbatim) "I don't want to be smug but we get on so well. We're not annoying each other in lockdown". It must be so so difficult to see the other person nod and agree and then this bombshell is dropped, I couldn't imagine.

@ot55 I'm relying on you now to find out what happened. Even if in weeks/months/years time you find out Matt has a new partner. I cant not knowwww!!

I know, wonder if this is a case of 'you dont know what happens behind closed doors' or their life was genuinely peachy, she was actually shocked.

We don't know that Matt has cheated or done the dirty and granted we don't know he hasn't either
Just to play devil's advocate I woke up one Monday morning after 10 years together and announced I was leaving and I didn't want to be with him anymore. It was out of the blue, he was devastated and I felt like the worst person in the world. There was no one else involved and I'd never cheated, it was also one of the toughest decisions I've ever made.
Surely you don't advocate a couple staying together if one is unhappy because it may devastate the other one ??
Just reserve judgement until, or if ever, you know the full facts, things are very often not as they seem to appear.

But surely you knew this for a while and didn’t wake up and fall out of love all of a sudden on Monday?

Jade said that Matt didn’t offer an explanation and I’m assuming if it was something along of the lines of he’s fallen out of love then I’m thinking she would add that? She seems to be completely perplexed and in disbelief.

“Also i felt like every 'influencers' comment on her post was annoying. Even Louise Pentland- everything has to revolve around her. UGH these people.”

I think Louise’s comment was lovely, and probably very helpful to Jade, I went through a huge breakup a few years ago, was facing having to move back in with my mum in my home town losing my job, the lot and having a friend who had been through similar remind me that everything would be okay really got me through it

I genuinely feel so sad for Jade. For Matt to come out with this from nowhere is a real shock - I've been a follower of Jade for quite a while both on Instagram and Youtube. In her videos with Matt they seemed so happy and it seemed as if he adored her a literally worshipped the ground she walked on. Myself and my boyfriend have been together almost 6 years and I know how absolutely broken I would be - all the memories and experiences you have experienced together now feel tarnished...

I really hope she can heal and recover from this and carry on living her life. When it comes to the Disney stuff (i.e. going to WDW etc.) she could either not go again/for a while because it would be too hard because of the memories and trips they had there, but on the other hand why should she stop going and doing things that bring her happiness? I know if me and my bf broke up it wouldn't stop me going to Disney or places we've been together... you go there to make new memories, not to replace the old but to move on and look to the future.

I hope she keeps well and can see a light at the end of the tunnel - even though it may seem a little dark right now.

I’m not reserving judgement , I think if he didn’t offer her an explanation then that’s a terrible thing to do to someone

Jade said that Matt didn’t offer an explanation and I’m assuming if it was something along of the lines of he’s fallen out of love then I’m thinking she would add that? She seems to be completely perplexed and in disbelief.

Or she wouldn't add "there wasn't any explanation"

“Matt, you shouldn’t like another girl when you have a girlfriend, that’s naughty... you better not do that to me!”

Holy smokes, I’m only just catching up. Here’s my two cents, that absolutely no one has asked for
I actually don’t think he’s cheated. I genuinely think that maybe he’s realised he fell out of love with her or something. We don’t know what he or she is like off camera, maybe her mental health is much worse or very different to what they share online or she’s difficult to live with. Or maybe he’s difficult to live with and has decided she deserves better.

We could speculate til the cows come home and never really know. Maybe neither of them even know the reason. He could be completely innocent in all this or has actually done what’s best for them both and now has to deal with trolls on his socials. Imagine how difficult it would be to try to leave someone when you know her job relies on your life together and that you’ll be accused of all sorts if you step a toe out of line Does make me think that he could have been hiding this for a very long time, trying to fight his feelings or work up the courage to say something. He obviously waited until after Christmas though.

Regardless, I do wish them both well (unless he has cheated, in which case, may his balls shrivel up and fall off)

 

[PeonyBlush]

Or she wouldn't add "there wasn't any explanation"

Exactly.

And you would think after 12 years he’d at least give her some reason as to why unless he’s hiding something and doesn’t want to admit it so just broke up with her to save himself from having to tell her the truth which is bloody awful and I hope Matt wouldn’t do that! You don’t just break up with someone out of nowhere without a reason... But who really knows what’s been going on behind the scenes!

 

[universalminds]

Wonder if she will unblock the people that didn’t make nasty comments but just commented saying they’d split - now she has announced it

Sorry to hear that, and completely get the wanting people around you who've been through the same.
BUT Louise has a habit of making things about herself - did anyone see the whole Zoella thing? Plus I'm guessing you're not an influencer- I feel like the majority of things these people do is for attention. Also didn't Louise break up with her husband??

 

[krillernew]

Exactly.

And you would think after 12 years he’d at least give her some reason as to why unless he’s hiding something and doesn’t want to admit it so just broke up with her to save himself from having to tell her the truth which is bloody awful and I hope Matt wouldn’t do that! You don’t just break up with someone out of nowhere without a reason... But who really knows what’s been going on behind the scenes!

If he didn't want to admit anything if there was anything to admit, couldn't he give her a reason like I don't feel the same anymore? She deserves an explanation, sorry to give 12 years of your life to someone and not get a reason just sounds so so awful

 

[whatsever you]

I've just thought- didn't Oohlalala (Jade's sister) say it's hard seeing two people you love go through something hard? (Something like that...)

So if my sister's husband had cheated on her, there's no way id have said i love/care for him. Making me think the cheating might not be true.

I kinda wish we had'nt worked out Oohlala was jade's sister, as she might have been more willing to share more stuff then

 

[ot55]

If Matt hasn’t cheated, he’s gonna regret not giving Jade a reason after getting all these hate comments. Because he can’t exactly post a statement now saying ‘guys I didn’t cheat, I just fell out of love with Jade - sorry Jade that you’re hearing this for the first time too!’

The fact she had no idea it was coming, not even a feeling that his behaviour was off...like how the hell did he bring that one up. Were they just sat there and he blurted it out?

And tbh, even if he hasn’t cheated, I’ve lost respect for Matt. To leave someone after 12 years with no explanation is a really crappy thing to do. We know Jade suffers with self esteem issues, this could always leave her worrying that she did something wrong

 

[CapnPancakes]

Perhaps thine eyes deceive me, but Brogans comment seems to be gone now?

Edit: maybe I just can’t find the blinking thing

 

[ot55]

Perhaps thine eyes deceive me, but Brogans comment seems to be gone now?

I still see it. It’s got an obnoxious 565 likes!

 

[universalminds]

Ok so - “this is it” .... I’m now thinking that they’ve had problems before, that’s there have been marital issues ... and this is it means this is it - we’ve tried to make it work but it’s not working - this is it - end of ...

I wonder if all the breaks from filmibg over the last 12 months have been because they’ve been going through stuff - they come back on with video saying a bereavement in the family or sad news etc - but I wonder if it’s been marital.. abs this is it meant just that

 

[PeonyBlush]

If he didn't want to admit anything if there was anything to admit, couldn't he give her a reason like I don't feel the same anymore? She deserves an explanation, sorry to give 12 years of your life to someone and not get a reason just sounds so so awful

Yep exactly! If he didn’t want to admit the truth he could’ve maybe given her a false explanation which is still crappy as he should just own up to whatever it is! But something is better than nothing I suppose.

 

[emmer_moans]

Whoa. Poor Jade.

 

[Sarahxo21]

I don’t know how Louise can compare her previous situation to Jade’s..pretty sure Louise was happy to leave that relationship. She always thinks everything has to be about her my god.
