Did Cheryl Cole split with Ashley with text message Full Stop?

24Feb/100

Pending the official break up announcement today of the celebrity couple, singer Cheryl Cole and footballer Ashley Cole, speculation must be aroused on the text message content Cheryl sent her husband about separating. What on earth could you put into 160 characters to sum up the public humiliation that the Girls Aloud star has faced over Trashley's infidelities?

I once dumped a girl via text message, and I'm shamed to admit it, with just a full stop. Yes, the content consisted of the text, "." and it was pretty much the point, "full stop", "no more", "end of", "over", "period". This was 10 years ago, I was young and this was not a long term relationship, and I know of a friend who ended a female commitment in this fashion also. It's quick and simple way of dumping someone, and does release that built up emotion and frustration. It also requires a period of silence thereafter, as you'd expect responses of "er, what?", "did you mean to send me a full stop", etc. They eventually get the point.

I can imagine the media have certainly fueled the fire in which Ashley's dirty washing has been exposed on a global scale. Read today that the 5 women who've been outed as bed conquests of the Chelsea and England International player spanning a number of years, do feel some regret about coming clean. More than can be said for those bed sheets then.

In 2002 I worked in a bar in Chiswick with a girl who'd slept with Kian Egan from Westlife and sold story to the newspapers. It was something that she openly said she regretted in conversation with me, and for whatever level of peer stature this brought her, I'm sure she felt that the money received didn't outweigh the long term association she had with this kiss and tell story. Anyway, back to a more attractive celebrity, Cheryl Cole or soon to be Cheryl Tweedy perhaps. Ashley, WTF? Friends of mine have said that out of 10, they'd give Cheryl 1.

Why would someone earning £120,000 a week, seem to have almost everything (a working week consisting of 5 half days during the week and a full day at the weekend, involves some travel that is paid for, a lovely house and a stunning wife), stray off with women on many occasions? Maybe there are more high profile sportsmen than just Ashley, John Terry and Tiger Woods? It would seem that only Avram is paying for it, yet the others are paying for it with their relationships and going to rehab.

I wonder if celebrities get a discount when attending rehabilitation clinics, e.g. a celebrity referal programme. There must be a lot of money spent in rehab. The Bettty Ford Center may have been the popular hang out for those caught up with a narcotics addiction in Beverly Hills, whilst the sex-addiction clinics such as the exclusive Montrose Place in South Africa must be loving it.
