I’ve only ever slept with one person, who I’m now married to, (and he’s called Dave!)

RicherThanYew · 04/06/2021 20:47

I wear fluffy slippers after my bath and now they reek to high heaven. To the world i appear seriously uptight about hygiene but these slippers are my secret shame.

I'm also seriously concerned that my Dad (Dave) is a serial shagger, he's got a heart condition!

I have 60K in an account my alcoholic, abusive soon to be ExH knows nothing about. He is skint because he wastes his money.

PurpleSproutingSomething · 04/06/2021 20:52

I have two uncles called Dave. One is in his 80s and lovely, the other is in his 60s a bit of a prick.

I treated myself to a massage yesterday.

I'm having a friends with benefits relationship with my neighbour and nobody knows ,they think we are both straight.

How exciting, Santa how did it start?

Too much alcohol and a lot of flirting

Not my secret but I know that a previously highly ranking politician was up to their eyeballs in a scandal.

Oh and again not my secret but someone I went to school with took the fall for something another politician did. They got a good pay off and a job in the EU as thanks.

DH's aunt had an affair. It's all that comes to my mind on the rare occasions we see her. So far I've managed not to blurt out that I know but the compulsion is there.

I don't think I have any secrets of my own. Perhaps just things that I've omitted to tell people rather than hidden?

I have been bullied at work for a long time.
I Lost it one day and on a whim decided to wipe my used toilet paper around the rim of her mug

I'm very glad I didn't marry Dave, he turned out to be gay. He was too busy on Gaydar to realise I was having fantastic sex with Luke.

RosesAndHellebores · 04/06/2021 21:02

Thanks to MNet I am fully aware that my mother is a classic narcissist. All my old school friends still think she's the bees knees. DD realised mother was the problem aged 12Blush. I realised at 51.

JaneJeffer · 04/06/2021 21:02

Sorry to break it to you @Catra but Luke is gay too.

RosesAndHellebores · 04/06/2021 21:03

Oh, and I never went out with or slept with a Dave Grin

VouisLuitton · 04/06/2021 21:07

@Doggotired

My married friend is having an affair with her best friends husband who is also her husbands best friend. The 4 of them do everything together. Nobody knows but me and neither of them know I know....
Gosh that’s a big secret to be keeping... have you ever considered letting them know that you know?
flippertygibbit · 04/06/2021 21:08

My DP and his DB have a sister who was adopted. They don't know...........

I like to sniff my dog's ears. They smell of honey :-) [But his paws smell of biscuits.]

@RuthTopp

When I'm driving down a very quiet road and see a lone walker / cyclist , I wonder what it would be like / would you get away with running them over and driving off . I would 100% never do it , but it goes through my head.
😱

Dave gets around a bit

FriNightBlues · 04/06/2021 21:13

A boyfriend gave me chlamydia and rendered me infertile. He told me after he’d dumped me and tested positive.

He left me for a woman he later married, and spread rumours that I was mad. Neither she nor his second wife ever had kids. I don’t think they’ve joined the dots.

Wineat5isfine · 04/06/2021 21:13

That I feel so bloody useless at the moment, that i think my DH and DC would be better off without me.

MN45678 · 04/06/2021 21:14

I was a lap dancer when I was 18...I also accompanied another lap dancer on a porn shoot (only went for moral support...didn’t participate!) 🤭

Me too!!

I met my now DH on illicit encounters. We were both in loveless marriages looking for some fun which unintentionally ended up as love. Happily married 8 years later. No one knows where we met.

I hope you're ok @Wineat5isfine I'm sorry that you feel like that and I obviously don't know you, but keep going. Talk to someone if you can. I hope you feel better soon Thanks

My husband is older than me and plans to retire in 10 years. He talks excitedly about what we can do when he retires. I meanwhile am counting down the years til the kids are old enough that I can leave him. I do feel bad about it because I know he’ll be devastated.

RicherThanYew · 04/06/2021 21:22

Seeing as some people here were incredibly brave I figure I can be too. I'm 30ish and my parents, sibling and unborn baby all died quite close together, it hit me like a sledgehammer. Since the last bereavement last year I have been buying myself (kids) toys to cheer myself up and now I have an entire room FULL of toys. I absolutely love them all and they make me happy, I have a particular soft spot for LOL dolls but I've recently discovered cutito burritos. My husband fully supports my madness because he's fabulous but I'm worried that my head is fucked.
