When your husband is continually referred to by the media as a 'love rat' then things aren't looking too rosy in your marriage. Just look at Ashley Cole and his missus Cheryl. After the well-publicised allegations of his infidelity, the couple is back living together in a show of togetherness and unity, but behind closed doors things are very far from happy according to new gossip.
Girls Aloud singer Cheryl might have moved back into the couple's marital nest, but insiders say the couple barely talks, while she insists they sleep in separate rooms with no nooky. Chelsea footballer Ashley, being a randy so-and-so, is far from keen on this and is planning a luxurious holiday to the Bahamas in June to help rekindle the dying romance.
A friend of the estranged couple revealed to The Sun: “Ashley has been miserable these past few months and Cheryl’s really made him pay for what he did. He thinks the holiday will be the final gesture that will make things go back to the way they were before he was caught out. He even hopes the sex ban will end while they’re away.”
Who thinks this source might be a pal of Ashley's? He certainly seems to think that the sports star has been punished enough for his cheating and that a few soft words and flashy pressies are enough to gloss over the cracks of deception and infidelity. In contrast, a friend of Cheryl's explained how the pop star is coping.
“Cheryl accepted Ashley back because she loves him. But she’s finding it hard to put his cheating behind her," explains the source. “Although they are both living in the same house, they are still not really behaving like man and wife and sleep in different rooms. Ashley still has a lot of work to do."
On whether the left-back lothario can work his magic with a little getaway, the friend confided: “She could refuse the holiday offers all together. He has a long way to go before he wins back the place he used to have in her heart – and her bed.”
And so he should. Since when was a few days in the sun a remedy for broken trust?
