AGONY uncles and TV chefs the Hairy Bikers have been dishing out relationship advice.
‘Wilma’ wrote to Barrow-born Dave Myers and his co-star Si King on the Hairy Bikers – Agony Uncles podcast after feeling like her boundaries had been pushed by her boyfriend of 18 months Bradley.
She said: “We live separately and sometimes we don’t see each other for a couple of weeks, but that’s normally as he’s about 250 miles away and I’m pretty busy as I run my own business.”
Bradley would like to see more of Wilma but Wilma says she is ‘stacked out’, focusing her time on setting up a new part of her business.
She said: “When we spoke last week he said he wanted to get together. I explained to him that I can’t at the moment, I’ve got such a lot on and we’d get together when it had calmed down.
“Yesterday he called again and asked if he could see me just for ten minutes, so I explained again Bradley I’m sorry I’m really busy I can’t see you.
“About three hours later there’s a knock on the door and Bradley is there holding a bunch of flowers, this turned into a really big row.”
Si thought that Wilma was in the right, and that Bradley had ‘overstepped the mark’.
“It’s about a bit of control,” said Si. “I’ll do what I want, when I want with you, and I don’t think that’s particularly healthy. No means no.”
Dave disagreed, believing that they were both in the wrong.
He said: “If you’re in the first throes of love you find time for the person who loves you, you always do.
“It sounds like Bradley’s up to his armpits in passion and she isn’t, it doesn’t matter how busy you are.”
Dave added that Bradley shouldn’t feel ‘this neediness’ after a relationship of this length but says that Wilma could be more ‘honest’ and ‘approachable’.
“I think they’re both wrong really and maybe things need sorting out,” said Dave.
Podcast regular Posh Tash said: “Maybe she’s keeping the chase on a bit too much and maybe she’s not committing. Maybe he wants some love back and maybe she hasn’t been giving that.”
