The follow up thread to my one from last year 🤭

mrsCtheRed · 09/04/2026 00:41

Oohhh I like this 🧐

I once found out years ago, that an ex colleague (married woman with two kids), was actually in a polyamorous relationship, and they all lived together.

It turned out that there was
"Husband"
Wife no. 1
Wife no. 2, who was also Wife no. 1's sister!
Wife no. 3
Wife no. 4, who was Wife no. 3's sister!!

They all lived together in one big house, and there were children with three of the wives.

And the best part?
He didn't work, he stayed home, whilst all 4 wives went out to work, and they all kept him!
He must have been living the dream.
And these women were all professional intelligent women. Think, nurse, teacher, vet type thing.

Still blows my mind when I think about it 🤯🤯

My cousin is having an affair with a married man. They have a daughter who has just started school. Her mum and dad know, and don’t seem bothered. In fact we all know and everyone just acts like it’s normal. It definitely bothers me.

A couple in our street are about to open a swingers club. It’s about 40 mins away. I’ve known for years they were involved in that scene, but others locally are likely just about to start finding out as the opening gets nearer.

There are some people objecting to it (even though it was already a swingers club until it closed for sale and refurb and was so problem free some of the objectors didn’t even realise it was there!) and I think they’ll be mind blown when they realise that the owners - who they seem to be picturing as some wild pair wandering around naked and being inappropriate are actually the very normal couple from down the street

I found out that my neighbour (a lovely woman, just turned 40, very pretty and sporty with 3 kids and a lovely husband) is having an affair with the head teacher of the local high school where she started a job last September. I am 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 nothing like that ever happens around here. I have heard from 2 separate sources. Part of me is fascinated part horrified. The poor husband. Those poor kids. I don’t know what to think when I see them outside. Does he know? Both cars are in the drive. Are they still a family?🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

personally how did the info leak too, thats part of what i find intriguing in intelligence analysis the gaps but applied to daily life

My sil kissed her husbands brother - I know as I saw them- it was last summer after a barbecue. They were wrapped around each other and honestly once The kiss stopped the look they give each other let me know it’s not a once off. I’ve told no one and they don’t know I saw.

sometimes thats the thing with emotions and attraction etc

He’s missed a trick ordering on a Wednesday, not a Tuesday!

True

Although if you order at lunchtime, the pizza is cheaper everyday 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Guy across the road is a real fitness fanatic, as is his wife. But every Wednesday afternoon, without fail, Dominos turns up with two large pizzas when I know he’s home alone, working. A few hours later, he emerges with the boxes and puts them in the bin, having polished off the lot. His wife is non the wiser.

My sister’s son is the result of a long running affair with her business partner.

Hope the son never falls in love with someone who he could be related to.

The mind boggles.

I can't remember now if I posted this on the last thread but one of my best friends exes (dad to her 2 kids) was seen down the garden at a mutual friends party getting intimate with two biological males (one a translady and one a man who was known to be bisexual and in an open marriage). But friend's ex is a real ladies' man so I was very surprised. The mutual friend/hostess was the one who caught them and asked me and another friend if she should tell best friend. We agreed not, though if he was still her current partner my answer would have been different.

Omggg 👀

I dont remember this from the other thread

Yeah i agree, if hes single, theres no need to tell the ex. If they were together though, it would 100% be another story

I think though that bisexual men are often the ladies men about town 🤔

My sister’s son is the result of a long running affair with her business partner. Both of them are married. Neither spouse knows. She often takes her son to meet her business partner and his children in the park.

Christ, what a hideously selfish shit your sister is!

Your poor BIL!

So you know but your BIL doesn’t? I bet that makes family gatherings awkward.

What do you suggest she does then?🙄
