A woman who called into ITV's This Morning to get advice with her relationship from dating expert Deidre Sanders has been at the receiving end of the daytime show's kindness. After explaining to the presenters Phillip Scholfield and Rochelle Humes that her partner of eight years had stopped being affectionate, she was told that the show would pay for her and a friend to go on a spa retreat.
Phoning in, Denise explained to Deidre: "I'd just like a little bit of advice, please? I've been with my partner for eight years and it's now to the point where he just doesn't pay me any compliments, he doesn't ask how my day has been, doesn't do anything at all. And, as an example, today is my birthday. He didn't even say happy birthday. I took him breakfast in bed as I do every day and he just pointed at a card and said 'Are you taking that with you or not?'"
This forced Deidre to put her head in her heads as Denise continued: "There's no affection, there's no nothing. He blames me if I want to talk about it or turn it to me and blame me for whatever has happened or for the way I'm feeling. And uses my depression against me a lot of the time."
