Even though you know nothing about Tahlia or her and Tully's relationship.

I ask anyone who takes a similar outlandish position in all this:

Think of all the relationships you have been in and your friends have been in. Can you think of a relationship you or a friend has been in where they were trapped or in it and unable to get out even though it was bad for them? Now imagine you or your friend going on Big Brother and finding the opportunity to get out of the relationship. I for one would be cheering my friend for ending it.

I am not saying that is what happened with Tully and Tahlia. I am saying relationships are very complex and complicated and there could be a myriad of reasons why Tully doing what she did was the best thing for her. We simply do not know. So when people attack Tully with blind and ignorant rage and defend Tahlia while literally knowing nothing about her, well it is just plain silly. Yet this thought process is exactly what is guiding so many Tully haters?

These are not things that happened but just examples of things that could cause what happened.

Tully and Tahlia get into a big fight the week before she leaves about some day getting married. Tahlia says she will never, ever, ever get married, no matter what.

Tahlia was a serial cheater who regularly met other woman at her night job and hooked up with them. Tully could never pull the trigger on ending things and Tahlia always said she was sorry.

Tahlia was very controlling of Tully and was constantly getting on her about touching people , both guys and girls, even though she is very tactile. It was a constant non stop nagging that even blew up into a huge demeaning lecture before she left.

I could come up with a hundred more. The point is nobody knows about their relationship except Tahlia and Tully. Yet people had no problem jumping in to defend Tahlia, someone they knew zero about.

Add into that Tully clear struggling with issues as it relates to her sexuality and it was and is crazy that people were taking sides in the end of Tully's previous relationship. It was either a bad thing or a good thing it ended. None of us here have any idea. What we do know it is over and has been over.

It's not over until the public loses interest in it. That's the name of the game. Tully is a seeker of fame, she knows the deal.

The problem is, girls at that age in particular will look for any little sign that someone is interested and he did drop a number of mixed signals.
The guy is 26, a footballer and has probably interacted with groupies, he should know how to deal with clingy women.
I realise (like most Jade fans) that Jade was a stage 5 clinger but Ed should have been stern with her about it if she was really cramping his style.

I don't believe Jade's selfish at all, but I've given up trying to defend Jade to people who have made up their mind about her.

I do agree he should have been stern with her. As [MENTION=37335]prufrock[/MENTION] pointed out, he was damned if he did or didn't, and maybe if he had known that, he would have been stern? It didn't help that all Jade's friends could see he didn't want it, yet kept encouraging her to go after him.

At the end of the day Ed's lack of guts was what screwed him over. If he had have manned up and made a decision (either tell her straight up that he didn't want anything or went for it 100%) he would have won a lot more fans. Instead he mumbled a few things about not wanting anything but completely contradicted himself by jumping into her bed and kissing her repeatedly. To his friends he blamed all of the attraction on her, while at the same time not portraying that same level of disinterest to Jade. He let her become the butt of their jokes while using the relationship to his advantage when he felt the need. I'm not surprised he was so unpopular.

He was hardly "put in an impossible position". He had a choice to man up and let her know straight but he didn't.

I agree 100%
 
I just read a story on ninemsn/woman's day about Tahlia/Drew & Tully. It asks the question are Drew & Tully getting married? Tahlia says something about she doesn't know if Tully is just a good actor, for being in a relationship with Tahlia for 1.5 years, or if she has just lost the plot?

I don't think we have heard the last of this love triangle by a LONG shot! Lots of magazine covers to come I think lol.
 
Here's the story
Big Brother’s ex-housemate lovers are getting serious, but Tully’s jilted girlfriend says their relationship is one big hoax.
Tahlia Farrant can’t keep quiet any longer. She says the “love” between her ex-girlfriend Tully Smyth and Anthony Drew is nothing more than a Big Brother PR stunt.

While the supposedly loved-up housemates continue to gush about marriage and babies even now the hit show’s 2013 season is over, Tahlia, 22, is adamant Australia’s latest reality-TV couple is selling a lie.

“I’m at the point now where I don’t know if, for the whole year and a half we were together, she was just a really good actor, or she has now totally lost the plot,” she reveals exclusively to Woman’s Day.

“To me, that’s a sham. Yeah, fair enough, after being on Big Brother you are a D-list celebrity and you have to ride it while you can because it’s very short-lived, but when is it enough? It’s ridiculous…”

Sorry, I must have missed this.....They've been denying that they've been even dating up until the last couple days....

I haven't heard anything remotely talking about marriage and babies...

Sounds like it should be quite a read though...and to be fair if I was Tahlia I'd probably get all the money I could out of this as well....
 
Whatever, if this is really how Tahlia wants to do things, then more power to her, I guess. But the irony of her comment about D-list celebrities riding out the fame almost made my eyes roll up out of my head.

Exactly!

I've always compared what the hm's think to what the viewers are thinking. I've got to wonder why the girls encouraged jade with ed if it was only jade interested... Hmmm

She what now?

I know she is angry and in all honesty she is allowed to be. It probably is upsetting her to be reminded of the hurt all over again. Time will heal the pain I hope, but I think she needs to step away from the social media networks right now. Surely her friends can distract her

Edit: just saw the news article above... Ouch!

Yes, I agree with you. No one can blame Tahlia for cashing in on the whole mess. She has been the one who has been betrayed & hurt. She needs to think of herself now.
 
Yeah she needs to step away from this, or she'll end up being perceived as nothing but a bitter and jealous ex. I guess when there was so much hate for Tully, she didn't need to express any herself, confident she was the moral victor in the break up, now everyone has moved on and the media are doting on the new lovebirds, it feels to her like Tully has got away with something.
 
Tahlia definitely wants attention. If she didn't, she wouldn't post shit like this:



TAHLIA. @beginnersblood 9m
Can anyone recommend a good unlimited Internet provider who offers a 12 month contract rather than 24? #porn

People continue to judge his handling of the relationship based on a clip before they got together, and ignore everything else that actually happened. The first time when he mumbled about not wanting to share a bed was because he had agreed to sharing a bed and so was a bit awkward, cut him some slack and stop using this as the example of all he ever did. They were still not doing anything at that point. They still didn't know each other. He didn't know why she wanted to share a bed, if she take it as a sign that they belonged to each other.

Nothing happened after that. No fun. No date. Nothing for a while until they cleared the air and he told her clearly that he didn't want anything to come of it. She offered to have just some fun, pretended she wasn't looking for love etc.

So before anything ever happened between them they both agreed - that means JADE agreed - to have fun, no strings attached. So they both did want something - just some fun, neither wanted 100% (at least that's what Jade pretended).
