Happily married for 20y. Today DH has done something that may be unforgivable.

[TheFirstOHN]

He's written something for the Daily Mail.

LTB?

Be warned. Get your hardware tested OP. Need i enter into the ramifications of you finding any unexpected surprises in the coming weeks such as tailored promotions or coupons for special offers via the DM. You have your own reputation to think of now. I could have understood it had it been The Lancet to advance his career but this is an all time low. All I can think is everyone is tempted by a dirty burger sometimes.

I got interviewed by the Daily Mail once, but they couldn't use me because I insisted on using Ms and they could only use Miss or Mrs... this was about 5-6 years ago...

Ah, I've heard this excuse before - my DM always says she "only reads the Mail for the health section".

So, he only writes for the health section...?

Are there any DC involved? Have you contacted social services? Ploice?? I'd limit contact ...

((((((((Great Big Madd Hugs))))))) Oi

🤔

I’ve never said this before but, OP, I really think you need to LTB

Did he steal what he wrote from Mumsnet???

Are you going to have to bleach your eyes now?

Oh my, he’s an expert on gonorrhoea isn’t he?

You'll have to leave MN now, or disassociate yourself with him. Separate bedrooms?

I had to write something for them once, and I didn't even get paid.

This is what happened: I was working for a national cultural institution. The DM at that time had a 'Notes and queries' page or something to which someone sent in a question that related to my area. The page gave the impression that questions and answers were sent in by readers. This was not so. They forwarded the question to me and I had to answer it because answering enquiries from the public was part of my job. They then printed the answer above my name, as if I had sent it in voluntarily! It was 15 years ago and I am still angry.

My DH stood by me though. He has a forgiving nature.

I just read your update, OP.

Do not buy his excuses!

He knew what he was doing, and he did it anyway.

You know what to do.

LTB.

You will get through this.

I pray for your strength and to have courage in this difficult time.

For you,

Has he had his column of shame out op?

I could have excused him if had written for the Saturday Mail, but only because they have the best TV Guide, without that mitigating reason, there would be no forgiveness.

Get him a contract with the Gruniard to be acceptable to the press-police on MN, or even Morning Star if it's still going, that'll be more up their alley.

The Shame :(

I've been in The Mail on Sunday in my undergarments. It paid for lunch.

You were not 'in your undergarments', Rabbits. You were 'showcasing your assets' or perhaps 'flaunting' them.

OP, he will claim it is the first time this has happened, but it is all a lie. Can you get to a refuge at all? WH Smiths is mostly empty these days, but they still have some decent reading if you search for it.

Quick, check your wardrobe. Has a sleeveless sheath dress you've never seen before suddenly appeared in there? Are you wearing a pair of kitten heels shoes? Are your children now called Romulus and Theodora?

Let me drop in that The Purge was devised for redressing abominations such as this...

Were you the last to know? Was he strong armed into telling you?

Do we anticipate the pitter patter of tiny pamphlets through your letter box.

What will the neighbours say...?

Have my first LTB. The utter shame of it; no coming back from that, I'm afraid.

Flaming Nora, that’s even more embarrassing than your knicker elastic going running for a train!
