What's some juicy gossip that you can't share irl but can share with nosy strangers on mumsnet?

Is it anything relating to your username 😂

My cousins son isn’t her husbands child. Everyone knows except the child, she was married to his father so not an affair or anything, no idea why they don’t just tell him. Surely he’ll find out eventually.

A bloke at work was horrible to me, always questioning me, belittling me, which caused a major issue as I’d always call him out in it. I ended up anonymously telling his wife about the affair he was having, one of many. He’s now remarried but this marriage is the same, affair after affair. Odious man!

That’s lovely!!

Not really juicy gossip as such but my future son in law is planning to ask my dd to marry him….he has the ring but we have no idea when it’ll be so we are on tenterhooks for the foreseeable 😂

Should also add I am not a Scout. I'm a Girl Guide.

Two parter - turns out a friend of mine's other half plays football with the ex and they got chatting about rental prices and it came out there in an offhand comment - my friend (being nosy) asked what street the house was on and mentioned it to me. Then seperate to this, i bumped into her next door neighbour (i live much further down the road) who I've not seen in months as they've been unwell and they grumbled a bit about both houses either side of them doing DIY in the evenings to a late hour and it came out about the boyfriend having moved in...

My DH wrapped some presents for me, while I was in the room. But I didn’t know what they were: I was blindfolded. It’s a fun tradition of ours.

Love the term hobosexuality haven't heard that before.

I know that some shit will be going down at the scout committee meeting next week. I. Cannot. Wait.

A couple I know who are the envy of everyone for how happy and chilled they seem on the outside are actually falling apart because they tried ‘ethical non monogamy’ and now one of them’s shagging somebody in - let’s just say a different tax bracket - who’s promising a bit more than baked beans on toast.

My DH ex girlfriend (who he has children with) moved some cocklodger in and my stepchildren kept on saying how horrible he was. I brushed it off as the kids just having loyalty to their dad as they are very close to my DH and myself UNTIL one day I popped by to drop a surprise off for the kids and while I knocked on the front door I could hear him screaming calling the kids ungrateful cunts and then opened the door all smiles to me. I was so damn angry but kept my cool.

I made a plan with one of my friends to take her car down to his car garage and flirt with him and try and get him to go on a date with her. She did. The dirty abusive “man” was happy to cheat on the woman who was letting him live in her house for free and treating my step children like crap. My friend took video recordings and pictures of their date and sent them to my DH Ex. Needless to say she was heartbroken but she did kick his butt to the curb and the kids are so much happier that he has gone

edit for spelling and to add the ex has no idea it was a set up

She rang me for advice on choosing a divorce lawyer but told me she’s “getting all her ducks in a row” before letting him know, so yes I imagine so!

My gossip is that I found out a neighbour of mine, who went through a breakup a couple of years ago and is still living in the house, waiting for it to sell, has been going round heavily implying she has been bravely shouldering the majority of the mortgage and bills all by herself, when in actual fact her ex is still paying half the mortgage (while paying for their own rental while they wait for the house to sell) and her new boyfriend moved in and started paying rent months ago so she's actually paying the least towards the roof over her head out of her, her ex and new boyfriend. No kids involved, she dumped the ex because she met new man, and she's bought a fancy new car....

Not until next July!

Yes I think she is ok with it!

An acquaintance has just found out that her husband has been having an affair for 5 years: she contacted me as I used to be a lawyer, and has given me all the info.

She found out because they bought a phone for their 11 year old for starting secondary in September, and he accidentally left it in his dad’s car. When she used the “find my phone” feature she saw the car parked on a street in a town that is roughly on his one hour commute to work but he has no reason to be there, so she started snooping and now has all sorts of proof.

It turns out when he told her 5 years ago that his promotion meant he had to do longer hours, he was lying: ever since then he’s been stopping off on his commute either morning or evening and spending 2 hours with his mistress.

He also flew the mistress out to the area of her (the wife’s) family’s holiday home, so that he could claim he was going golfing but actually spend time with her.
