Obviously that probably doesn't apply here as Raph is pretty young I'm sure that his relationships weren't that serious, i was more replying generally to whether it's better if your partner cheats with a man or woman.

Anyway either way it's not nice to be cheated on, just because a person turns out to be gay doesn't make it feel any better for the cheated on person

Pretty much agree with all of this. I personally would probably react worse if the person who cheated on me was gay, I would feel that I should have known, feel guilty that they have been trying to live a lie and then cope with the fact they have cheated too.

Yeah same here.

What a rather despicable character..he has no chance.

I must say I wasn't expecting this reaction from a lot of people to Raph (who I don't know at all) being in the house. My thoughts were that though we will criticise him if he behaves badly, he is still sort of 'family' and by and large we'll be in his corner.
I'm finding the reaction towards him pretty vicious...I wonder if a little bit of jealousy is in play, not just that he got into the house, but also that he had the balls to do it...

No one says that cheating is acceptable. But I for one appreciate his honesty.

Only once he was found out.

Ah good luck to the kid though.

Yeah no one has said they found it acceptable or condone it, like no one went like yass raph at his cheating or said king of cheating etc. none of that happened and will not happen. You can still support someone and not condone what they said or did, happens a lot on here and i'm not bothered about it. Nicola McLean said something vile towards Kim and i still supported her but didn't condone it and there was nothing wrong with that.

A tad tragic to defend someone for cheating and be generally bias just because you post on the same website as them

Jeez he wasn't married with 2 kids, okay it's not nice but Im sure all those invoked have moved on.

He would have to do something pretty awful in there for me to criticise him

Why because you've posted words on a screen together? Get a grip you don't know this person any more than the rest of them.

Which will never happen so don't you worry. Raph is a really nice person and it's showing in the house too.

I didn't say he should be defended for cheating, maybe you should read my post again.

I agree actually. This isnt a normal reaction at all

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

No one is applauding the fact that he cheated. It was his honesty, Housemates appreciated it.

Tbf. What I'm seeing is a fairly normal reaction to a BB housemate. As normal as fandom can get anyway.

The vicious part seems to be forum members against each other on here.
