Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

I wonder if the OP resents her famous in Europe and locally husband stealing her limelight? It must be a great relief to her when they go somewhere which is neither local nor European and she can spread her shining wings in the spotlight and be valued as her own amazing person.

🤣 I went on a Sponsored walk once around Richmond park - But where we lived there were lots of genuinely 'famous' people - if one saw them in Waitrose, or in Town or on a walk, you'd just think ''Oh there's so and so'' {Musicians, actors mainly } and wouldn't dream of bothering them- they are just people.

A long time ago i almost got wed to a guy 8 years my senior who was in a popular police drama. He dropped out after several years he didnt like being asked to work evening schedules too often. He regretted leaving.
Apart from his modest house and car he only does semi regular work he is lazy and went back to uni as a much maturer student rather than graft.
Last time i saw him jeez he has put some timber on. He was handsome back in the day.
I probably have more money than him now.

😂👍Good one! I actually laughed out loud.

My friend's Whippet had an Infamous Grandfather.

Other dogs stop her on walks and say ''Your Grandad!- may I have an Autograph?!'

I was propositioned many years ago by the then Chief Cashier of the Bank of England (the person whose signature appears on bank notes).

I was an extra in Remington Steele when i was a teenager.
Whats that Tikok? Born to be his wife, forced to be a fan..

😂😂😂

We all moved on a bit and are enjoying one another's spurious claims to fame.

My partner was frontman of a band when I met and was promptly knocked up by him and they were quite big within their genre.

He now works in emergency critical care in an hospital and gets recognised more for that than when he was touring with big name bands. It was annoying the number of young and old women who’d push me out the way to get to him and grope him at gigs but worse now when it’s old women and addicts pushing me out the way to hug and kiss him for his kindness. Some guy did this in a chemist recently that was erm fun.

My siblings have all dabbled with fame through music or acting. It all went to their heads. They’re not doing that anymore.

I’ve probably done more “famous” things than all of them in my younger days working in media industries. I was also sponsored for a very cool sport too . But my big game moment was being recognised once in Morrisons when I was late teens by an old lady who wanted to tell me I looked much better now I was out of that awful hospital (I was a patient extra in a drama to earn pennies at uni 😂😂😂)

fame is bullshit. In the end the famous person is just doing a job and the hangers on are just looking for a piece of that action.

My DH is famous. He's been in the 'Courtfile' section of the local newspaper three times now!

I’m camilla and so’s my wife

Her other thread about the school disco is still here:

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5038719-to-call-out-1-of-the-other-school-mums?reply=134129807

People should stop being nasty. If u don’t like the thread don’t read it. Op is entitled to talk about what she wants, and everyone has a choice if they post or not. Why are people so bitter

Yes and normally he is paid 4 thousand a night. Hardly a superstar dj lol

I would think this has to be sport..football or possibly acting.

It must be very hard to juggle keeping your kid’s feet on the ground when the while
world is blowing up around them. First world problems but as a parent you have my sympathy.

She deleted ger other post. It detailed how her husband had offered to DJ a school disco for 200 quid, but another parent was organizing a cinema/restaurant outing which OP was concerned would pull guests away from the disco and somehow cost her DH money (not sure how, 200 is 200 even if he's playing to an empty room, surely.) OP want to know of she was BU to call that other parent a cunt.

I can't find any other threads by OP.
Searching their username brings up no results.
Does anyone know why?

My husband isn't famous but he now believes he is because 5 different people asked him to get their luggage down from our plane earlier. Does that count?!

Agreed this is what the OP was hoping for 😆

@FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren I think semi famous would be someone who was once in an article in take a break or plays in a football team that only local people have heard of, but they once played Nottingham forest in a friendly match.

Not famous but DH is a well known dentist in the local area and we've had people come up to us in supermarkets, on our date nights, in bars etc asking him for advice! Once the postman knocked to ask about a sore tooth 😂
The worst was when we were on holiday and two different (unknown to each other) patients were there as well and kept coming up for a chat!
DH is lovely to patients when in work but he's actually not a social person at all so hates when people come up to him 😂🙈

Although obviously very famous in his own right, Rupert the Bear has had endless problems with people mistaking him for Jack the Ripper, owing to their shared name.

The mad alcoholic lady in the village we moved to when dh and I got married decided dh was a famous movie star (never established which one) and told everyone in the post office and local pub. He’s not. He was in the village amateur production so maybe she saw him in that? 😂 It caused quite a stir in the little village where nothing happens. Dh is followed by Huey from fun loving criminals on Twitter which he’s very proud of - he met him once through work.

Tell us more!

My ex was a famous husband while we were married. Now he's just famous. He loved the fame, I didn't so I was the one in the dark glasses and baseball cap when we went out. I used to wear different glasses and caps every time and he got a reputation for always having a different glamour-puss on his arm every time. And he still pays my bills even though we're divorced, so I can't really complain.
