I think I'm at least Bi sexual, possibly Lesbian.

Wineat5isfine · 04/06/2021 21:25

Thank you, I appreciate your reply.

Just having a very rough time right now...and can’t see a way out of a very, very gigantic mess.

@Wineat5isfine

That I feel so bloody useless at the moment, that i think my DH and DC would be better off without me.
Wine That's the depression talking. Please allow me to tell it to sod off.

As you can see, my shit superpower is the worst ever cross post. Please accept my apologies.

@ildrja

I am teetering on the edge of a complete mental breakdown. Mental health absolutely down the toilet. Lonely. There's absolutely no one who cares about me at all. I think I'm going to the GP about it next week but it's so hard as I will then have to tell soemone.

Oh sweetheart. I care .

Please please go to the drs and post in the mental health board. They are a great support.

@EmmaGrundyForPM

I suffer from horrendous depression. I often plan how I'm going to kill myself. No one knows apart from dh.

Everyone thinks I'm the life and soul of the party. They don't realise that the only reason I'm always busy/out/involved is because if I stop to think about things, I spiral down into the depths of depression.

so sorry to hear this. Have you consulted a psychiatrist? Medication can really help.

My ex-husband is a swinger. Note to self, pick better next time...thankfully I did!

psychomath · 04/06/2021 21:37

@RicherThanYew that sounds terrible, I'm so sorry you went through that SadFlowers I'm really glad you have a lovely supportive husband and you've found something that's helping you get through this time. I hadn't heard of cutito burritos but I just googled and that's such a cute idea!

Ohs9daring · 04/06/2021 21:39

I’m having kind of an emotional affair, we both are married, bit of touchy feelings, but we’ve chatted for years, historically we’ve have sex many moons ago (pre marriage for both). Neither of us intending on leaving our significant others, but the chase is addictive . It’s wrong we know , but ..... we still do it

FindingMeno · 04/06/2021 21:41

My broken ribs were done to me deliberately and not an accident.

GratitudeGoddess · 04/06/2021 21:44

@RicherThanYew I salute you for your bravery and send you hugs.

My confession is that I was paid for sex (once) in my 20's, I am still traumatised by the experience.

santabetterwashhishands

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

Flaming fabulous!

Wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 04/06/2021 21:47

I cheated on my late partner and he never found out.

So many traumatic stories, sorry for you....

JerushaSturgis · 04/06/2021 21:49

I shagged my ex after he shacked up with his OW.
I have a FB who is married. Hi wife posts all over Facebook about how wonderful he is.

WalkthisWayUK · 04/06/2021 21:50

That my Dad fathered a child with a married woman when I was 5 years old. My mother told me, they are divorced. So I have a half sister or brother.

The woman didn’t tell her husband and pretended it was his.

My mother didn’t know anything else, they divorced afterwards. My sister and brother don’t know. My father doesn’t know I know. He’s pretty rubbish as a Dad anyway so we don’t have much contact. I don’t know how to bring it up with him.

Timeisavirtue · 04/06/2021 21:52

My ex (also ex best fri3nd) slept with my best friend, they are both male. My ex is supposedly straight and he doesn’t know that I know.

bigbaggyeyes · 04/06/2021 21:53

I'm celebrating my 3rd wedding anniversary on Monday, only my dh knows (and the registrar and 2 random whiteness)

Shannith · 04/06/2021 21:54

@Ellenthegenerous

I’ve never shagged anyone called Dave. The FOMO is real Grin
Grinnor have I. And going through the (large) rolladex in my head not that many whose names begin with a D. How remiss of me.
Notmydaughteryoubitch · 04/06/2021 21:57

My DH's best friend is an alcoholic. He has recently started drinking again, he says he can moderate it this time (I know, I know) and wants to tell his family in his own time. I am very close friends with his SIL and can't tell her.

tellycontroller · 04/06/2021 21:58

I still have a teddy in bed every night and I am 37. Obviously DH and the kids know but no-one else does.

And I reported someone for benefit fraud. They lost their house, car, benefits, the lot. Basically they were claiming maximum disability benefits and saying they were unable to work. However they also had one hell of a side hustle and were doing speaking engagements about what life was like with a disability. Fees for this kind if work can be ££££
The person used to attend a disability support group I also attended and still doesn't know it was me that reported them. As for why I did it- I work a max of 12 hours a week and that leaves me absolutely exhausted each week. Yet they were claiming that life was so difficult they could barely function yet they were raking it in with speakers fees.

@AcrossthePond55

You know I think your friend does love him. Maybe not passionately but in her own way. She shouldn’t feel guilty.
