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

Disappointed to hear about the tall, skinny ex addict @Lucyweeks
Her PR do a great job 🙄

My first boss had a friend who wanted a divorce. This was years ago when you had to have grounds.

My boss arranged with his friend to shag friends wife and get caught in the act by his friend so the divorce could go through with no hassle.

It worked like a charm and she doesn't know she was played.

I mean, maybe - this woman has likely always had this guy on fb as they met originally many years ago - i dont know anything about a trip though and I cant see her admitting to anything like that as she's very conscious about how things look, which is why it was a bit surprising that she had the guy all over social media not too long after the breakup, as she will have been very aware of what people will have thought and it was almost like she couldn't wait 'any longer' if you catch my drift. There's probably more than one person out there like this tbf!

After being worn for a year? Pants are very much a disposable item.

She, or indeed he, can get their head around it presumably?

Just found out two of the kids parents in my DD’s class have been having an affair with each other.

But it shares the workload.

If it's TW, it would not surprise me at all. She absolutely seems like the type who would try to bully women who are overweight.

I couldn't possibly confirm or deny.

I have one from ages ago. I never see any of the people involved and haven't for years.

Elderly ex-MIL has elderly couple friends going back decades. I know the friends, as we have stayed with them. They are a married couple who got together six decades ago, at university.

MIL told me that when the couple were 18 and dating, the wife - then the girlfriend - got pregnant and gave the baby up for adoption. I suppose it must have been during their first year of university. The couple then stayed together, got married, and had three more children. They remained together for about sixty years, until the wife died of old age a couple of years ago.

I found it very sad indeed, that they stayed together for the rest of their married life and had lots more children, but that the first child they made together was adopted. I have no idea if the adult children - now in their fiftes/early sixties - have any idea whether they have a full sister out there, and I dearly wished my MIL had never told me their secret. We would go to stay with the elderly couple, and I was terrified that something would slip out.

MIL showed me the profile of the first baby from Facebook. She's about seventy now, and, heartbreakingly, is the spitting image of her birth mother. I've met the couple's adult children, from back when we used to stay with the elderly couple, and I have NO IDEA if they know about this secret sibling. If not, it seems so wrong that I know and they don't. Anyway, I haven't seen them in years, and I won't, because their mother died, and the connection was the friendship between her and my MIL. Who's my ex-MIL, anyway. I don't even know if the husband is still alive. If so, he must be ninety.

It's so odd that they didn't have any contact with the child, but I suppose adoptions were closed back then and they never talked about such things. But I have wondered how the couple felt over those years, knowing that their kids had a full sibling out there. The whole thing sounds desperately sad, and I so wish my MIL had never said anything to me.

Also, the first baby was a girl, and the three subsequent children were all boys. Makes it sadder somehow.

TW??

Watch closely? I'm intrigued

I think the article said the incident happened before MK wedding, and that MK was pregnant...

Happened long ago but two men of the cloth who legged it with 'parish' members, married said parish members and were sent to other parish at the far out reaches of the country hundred of miles from original parishes. Can't say anymore. But, signs of affairs were one suddenly had a very modern hair cut after greasy locks and the other wore stunning aviators. Nowt strange as folk.

Oh my god, you're not related to the Mitfords, are you??

No. Think tall skinny ex addict.

Vile to people. Grabby too.
I've been in my industry years and she's a chancer. No interest in other women.

I love this story. The effort to go to these lengths. Good for her I say.

Too much turning the other cheek going on in general in the world.

A Mitford?

A foursome? The logistics alone must have been a headache...

The head teacher of the junior school that DS has just finished at had an affair with a parent at his previous school. He had to move to a job in a different LA. The irony that his current school is a church school is not lost on me.

He’s an excellent HT though.

I managed to grab 2 VIP front standing for my sons 21st too - absolutely delighted

@PulchritudinousLycanthrope I agree with the above. And any man worth his salt would have asked you about it. He might even have considered if you'd been pressured into it, considering that the man was your superior. And just dropping you like a hot stone tells me that he might have had a Madonna/whore complex and is possibly not gifted with a whole lot of insight or humanity or imagination, not to have thought about those things. You say he's wonderful, but you don't really know him. On a number of levels, I don't like the fact that he took someone else at their word against you and just ended things. He might not be as wonderful as you think. 💖

I love your revenge, btw. Totally deserved.

She's a hero!

Are you sure you weren't imagining it? I don't know why her mind would whir at a married couple buying such an item. Presumably you were both wearing wedding rings. If it was older man with a ring and younger woman without, I could understand it.

Was he any good??? Or was he a selfish git? I always assume celebrities must be crap in bed bc they think they're doing a favour to the "civilian", as Liz Hurley memorably called regular people.
