Expensive Dee,
On behalf of each lady who has ever twisted herself right into a human pretzel attempting to ‘repair’ a person who clearly didn’t deserve her, it’s time we had a chat.
As a result of I’ve been you.
I as soon as dated a person who handled chaos like foreplay. Pub fights. Police chases. Courtroom dates. Jail sentences (sure, plural). I assumed if I simply cherished him sufficient, supported him onerous sufficient, held on somewhat tighter, he’d finally morph into the person I knew he may very well be. As a substitute, I misplaced myself within the course of.
It took two therapists, one hypnotist and several other household and friend-led interventions to lastly shake me out of it. (Spoiler alert: he by no means grew up… however I did.)
I see the identical look in your eyes now. In each paparazzi shot the place you’re quietly holding it collectively whereas your fiance Conor McGregor – the daddy of your 4 kids – lights one other match beneath his fame.
First, he was noticed kissing a bikini-clad lady in full view on a seashore in Florida over the weekend, and now, rapper Azealia Banks has complained about alleged nude photographs of him that she claims he despatched her on X, unprompted.
I hope Conor appreciates the help you will have given him earlier than and because the civil courtroom case final yr, wherein jurors discovered him answerable for assault by rape of a girl in a Dublin resort – however his behaviour suggests in any other case.
Images of McGregor kissing a thriller lady whereas on a lads vacation have surfaced
You will have tried to place a courageous face on it – posting on Instagram in regards to the alleged rape that ‘Conor and I handled these points privately years in the past’. However to me, you will have the exhausted, nearly robotic expression of a girl who’s been dragged by way of the mud and retains getting up, brushing herself off and pretending that is advantageous.
Dee, it’s not advantageous. And also you deserve higher.
Let’s take a fast take a look at Conor’s biggest hits, lets?
From that ruling that noticed him ordered to pay practically €250,000 in damages to a younger lady who accused him of sexually assaulting her (which he’s now interesting), to sexual battery allegations within the US through the 2023 NBA basketball finals (no prison expenses had been filed), Conor’s identify retains popping up in locations it shouldn’t.
Now, the seashore photographs of him passionately kissing a thriller lady whereas on a lads vacation. Not remotely discreetly.
The place was the respect? Non-existent.
And simply while you suppose it will possibly’t get extra embarrassing, Banks posts screenshots alleging your fella had been sending her unsolicited express pictures for years – together with one, as she put it, ‘along with his d*** wrapped round a dumbbell’. He allegedly warned her: ‘Don’t be a rat.’ She referred to as it harassment and advised her followers: ‘Males like this f**ed me up.’
Truthful name. Very reasonable name.

Every day Mail columnist Jana Hocking, who as soon as dated a person just like McGregor, writes: ‘I assumed if I simply cherished him sufficient, supported him onerous sufficient, held on somewhat tighter, he’d finally morph into the person I knew he may very well be. As a substitute, I misplaced myself within the course of’
Whether or not these allegations go anyplace legally or not, the sample is loud and clear: repeated disrespect by a person who appears completely OK to humiliate and betray the girl who has stood by him the longest. You.
Certain, perhaps one indiscretion may very well be chalked as much as an ‘oopsie-daisy, I tousled’ second. However this sample of behaviour counsel he’s both extremely dumb… or utterly heartless. Each diagnoses are scary Dee, and it’s time to get out.
However I get why you’ve stayed. I actually do.
What you’re up towards is one thing referred to as the ‘sunk value fallacy’ – that horrible psychological lure that claims: ‘However I’ve already put in so a few years, I can’t quit now.’ You suppose strolling away would imply all that point was wasted.
However right here’s the brutal reality: staying simply since you’ve already sunk so a few years into this relationship – 17 in reality – is the way you waste much more. You’re not clinging to like, you’re clinging to struggling and dressing it up as loyalty.
We see your loyalty, and we pity it.
As a result of right here’s the straightforward reality: HE. WILL. NEVER. CHANGE. He’s confirmed it far too many instances.
And certain, perhaps you inform your self you’re staying for the children. However as somebody who grew up in a family like that, let me let you know, it messes them up greater than you suppose.
I keep in mind a therapist as soon as saying to me of my four-year poisonous relationship: ‘This man is treating you with a lot disrespect {that a} safe particular person with wholesome self-worth would go away instantly. However since you watched your personal mum tolerate related remedy, you by no means developed these pure instincts to stroll away. His behaviour doesn’t shock you – it’s acquainted. It’s been normalised. So now now we have to rewire your mind to truly recognise purple flags as purple flags.’
Dee, the purple flags are waving.
And for those who don’t need your children rising up and discovering themselves in this sort of relationship, then it’s time to interrupt the cycle.
What you’ll want to do – mentioned from expertise – is take all the pieces you learnt from these years spent with that indignant little backyard gnome and redirect it in direction of somebody or one thing that deserves your consideration. Your historical past proves you’re sensible at nurturing, supporting and displaying up for a associate. Oh, and let’s not overlook, you’re an absolute stunner. These qualities make you a unprecedented associate… simply not for him. He (in these godawful quick shorts) doesn’t deserve you.
And dare I say it, he wouldn’t be the place he’s at the moment if it wasn’t for you. I watched the Netflix documentary, McGregor Ceaselessly, about his preventing profession and it was very clear. Your sacrifices had been unbelievable, however you’ve completed your time. Now it’s time to direct all that power in direction of your self.
For those who’re good about it, you possibly can flip these wasted years into gold. Not all is misplaced. Get your self out of this mess after which write a e-book about it. Go on the general public talking path. Or purchase your self an enormous ol’ mansion from the breakup and reside in extravagant peace away from the general public eye and his humiliating stunts.
As a result of I concern for those who keep, you’ll goal that pent up rage within the fallacious path. Take Coleen Rooney as a chief instance. She is a masterclass in what to not do with that heartbreak. After years of humiliation within the press, she didn’t unleash on the person accountable – she channelled all that rage into what turned the Wagatha Christie saga. An entire lawsuit, 1000’s of kilos, and a PR storm… simply to convey down one other lady.
Perhaps Rebekah Vardy deserved it. Perhaps she didn’t. However let’s be actual: Coleen was misfiring. That was a girl directing all her fury on the fallacious goal, as a result of the actual one was too near dwelling.
So take a breath. Have a suppose. And ask your self for those who’re additionally distracting your self from the supply of your ache by placing all of your power elsewhere?
Some ladies take their relationship woes out on different ladies. Others, on their face. Botox injections, boob jobs, fixed nips and tweaks – all in a bid to develop into extra fascinating to companions who gained’t cease straying. ‘Perhaps if I improve my appears he’ll cease dishonest’, so many ladies inform themselves. However they by no means do (even the most well liked supermodels get cheated on). So I’d be cautious of that. Heck, my face turned a pincushion through the hardest moments of my poisonous relationship.
So keep away from the injectors.
Additionally, let me say one thing I’ve realized the onerous means: fewer ladies would want remedy (or misguided Botox) if we simply stopped tolerating scumbags.
Truthfully, I get messages on a regular basis from ladies saying: ‘I’m confused. I’m heartbroken. He says he loves me however acts like I don’t exist…’
Perhaps you’ve advised your self you’ve come to phrases with it. That that is simply who he’s. Perhaps you’ve even satisfied your self it’s an open relationship and also you’re ‘okay with it’. However even then, there are boundaries. Like: don’t publicly humiliate your associate in entrance of 100 iPhones and paparazzo.
On the finish of the day, your kids are watching. They usually’ll develop up studying both what love appears like or what it doesn’t.
So go away. If not for your self, stroll for his or her sake. Present them that love doesn’t include a aspect of betrayal and PR spin.
Pack a bag. Name the lawyer. And take that man to the cleaners. Lord is aware of you deserve each penny.
As a result of peace, actual peace, is ready for you.
With love and rage,
Jana x
