Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

Does it bother you? I have a semi famous DH, he gets paid to gig and go on podcasts etc if we go out locally he does get asked for selfies so we tend to go away for weekends as a family.

I do find it slightly annoying but I guess it pays the bills 💃

My DH once got sponsored for a sponsored swim when he was about 8- is that the sort of thing you mean?

I don’t really understand this thread. Surely you’re aware that most posters won’t have a famous or semi-famous or sponsored DH so I don’t know that you’ll find many posters able to share similar stories. Seems like maybe just an attempt to show-off?

If he was that well known, he would have done the disco for free and not “at a cost”

This. From an ex-semi-famous-\dj

Dated an actor once, was pretty weird tbh. He was "resting" aka years since a proper job (I don't count casualty, doctors or midsomer murders one off characters as proper work!) People would come up and ask if he was his character Confused. Anyway he was a bit full of himself and quite frankly didn't own a house at 50 so wasn't for me

I don't have a famous husband but my brother had a mobile disco in the 80s.

It didn't bother me and we didn't have to leave our estate at weekends to avoid groupies.

Oh this is exciting! Can you say how?

Yes, he has written a novel. First in a series, it’s currently being published and we are in talks with a producer to see if there is interest to make it into a movie. I mean it may all fall in a heap and come to nothing or it may take off. We just don’t know. He’s just glad at this point to be getting the actual book to be able to give out. He has used a pen name (which was his choice) so that may end up being a blessing if it does all come off.

So you have a semi famous husband, want to call another mother a cunt for disagreeing about a leaving event and don’t get on with your neighbours.

Perhaps people are staring at you not the husband.

Looks liks I have missed some fantastic tea

mynameiscalypso · 29/03/2024 21:27

Why are these always about DH's? Are women not famous too?

Okokokokokplease · 29/03/2024 21:27

I suspect my oldest son will be famous. I’ve no idea how it will all pan out but there is potential for him to be really famous in the next year or 2. (He’s 14 nearly 15). I’m not really sure what it will mean potentially I may have to give up work. Would change our lives that’s for sure, but I suspect I would prefer my life now if it changed drastically.

Oh this is exciting! Can you say how?

MrsReevesButDontTellAnyone · 29/03/2024 21:25

My husband goes out in his disguise of unkempt hair/beard/baseball cap but that’s become his trademark so I have to scrub him up in a suit…. Oh no, that doesn’t work either… he once shaved off his hair and eyebrows about 20 years ago but that didn’t help… I tried putting him in a long coat and shades but even then people knew who he was. We’ve given up and he rides the subway occasionally without bother but we could never go out en famille as his fan base think he’s still single.

My DH is ex pro sport. It wasn’t annoying in people approaching sense unless at events etc but when we moved house into a small village near the club a few people (new neighbours) used to come and chat at our door for ages about the sport and his team as they were fans and he did get a bit annoyed because often it was after the team had lost etc! We had no gates at that point as the house was a bit of a project. And he was often peed off about it aswell and had no interest in hearing their opinions on what he could have done etc. It’s a bit like coming home from work then people coming to your house to talk about the crap day you’ve had. Was overkill and a bit intrusive I think. But doesn’t last long in the grand scheme of life!!! Found the very frequent and unrelenting travel harder tbh.

Stichintime · 29/03/2024 21:23

Do you have to buy a ticket to get a buffet and a free first drink, or do his entourage get that as a freebie?
