Why Molly and Tommy breaking up is your sign to dump your very mediocre boyfriend.

Today, at around 4 PM, it was announced that Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury have gone their separate ways.

Now, while I will most definitely be wearing all black tomorrow (it’s a national day of mourning), is it bad to say that I’m kind of glad Molly has freed herself from the shackles of that man?

For a while now, the public has been discussing and debating Tommy’s actual involvement in the lives of both his daughter, Bambi, and his (now ex-) fiancée, Molly-Mae. While their die-hard fans have excused Tommy’s behavior due to his “boxing career,” I found myself asking, “What boxing career?”

In my opinion, Tommy’s career cannot compare to Molly’s.

While I don’t necessarily agree with fast fashion, it was clear that Molly taking on the role of Pretty Little Thing’s Creative Director was a stellar move.

Yes, he’s got a famous brother and yes he has somewhat of a boxing career ( all I know about it is that he boxed KSI…) but whether you want to  admit it or not, Tommy Fury is only Tommy Fury because of Molly-Mae, not because of his Fury name.

This sounds bad but if anyone should have been spending long hours away from home and facing accusations of a lack of involvement, it should have been Molly.

She is undoubtedly the most successful woman to come out of the Love Island franchise, and for a large number of girls across the UK, she’s their queen. She revived Zara’s entire brand, breathed life into the ‘Zara clean girl aesthetic,’ and she is the British CEO of beige parenting!( that wasn’t a dig)

Molly has been carrying that couple since their Love Island days, and while 100% of her time should have been spent being a girl boss, 50% of it was spent lugging her very (dare I say, freakishly) tall boyfriend around with her.

What I am trying to say here is if your boyfriend is anything like Tommy, you MUST dump him.

Tommy is the kind of man who instantly draws you in (to hell) easily: he is tall, attractive, and physically fit. But let's pose this question to ourselves and [insert your prospective love interest here]: would you still love, like, or desire him as much if he were a short, ugly man? You answer should be/will be: no.

Tommy’s stupidity (whether it’s an act or not, I definitely don’t think it is) and lack of common sense was only funny for about five minutes.

The reason Tommy and Molly’s relationship was funny and attractive was because he was dopey and she whipped him into shape (as she should) But that dynamic is only comedic for a while before it becomes tiresome.

It was all cute and fun until the couple had a baby, and it was then that we, as the public, began to see the fractures in their relationship.

You cannot eternally coexist as the ‘he’s dopey and I’m the boss’ trope because it simply isn’t sustainable. At some point, reality hit for Tommy and Molly, and that came in the form of Bambi.

Things Molly probably let slide or found funny when they weren’t parents aren’t so funny anymore, and perhaps that was one of the reasons they broke up (or maybe he just cheated…).

Anyway, girl, it’s time to dump that man before it’s too late. If Molly-Mae can dump that blue-eyed babe, then you can do it too.

RIP to Molly and Tommy’s relationship, and my condolences to everyone involved.

*btw Molly needs to go back to her baddie era*
