I’m watching an affair unfold in front of me.

I don’t usually notice this stuff. I won’t be saying a word to anyone. But I can see an affair going on. It’s a neighbour of mine.

I’m seeing him with the OW more and more. She’s a friend of a friend (hence I notice her) very attractive. I’ve just seen them in the coffee shop together now.

I feel sad for my lady neighbour. I can see that even if something hasn’t actually happened (because how would I know) her H sees this OW is a lot, I see them together most days now, neighbour is a teacher. I do an early school run so see her leave. Each morning I see her H and OW walking together when I get back. It’s entirely coincidental my timings match.

I won’t say a word, but I can see it in front of me, body language has changed over time between them.

im only putting it here because I won’t be saying a word as I can’t know for sure. But I strongly suspect. It’s not something that would bother me, just I’m seeing it out of no choice of mine unfold in front of me.

Sometimes I see him early as he’s taking his kids to wraparound. Then when I come back from my school run I see him with OW. Sometimes just outside their house chatting.

Stop calling her OW. You have no idea if this is true.

My spidey senses are always spot on. They’re up to something.

You shouldn't even be posting on a women's forum really Midlander. People will TALK.

Did you have to put that public, totally blown my cover! 😂
@CarrieMoonbeams that sounds like a really quite upsetting experience, did you ever explain to them?!

ReneBumsWombats · 23/03/2023 17:50

That's on your mind?

I actually thought it was really funny when I figured it out, so did DH. I did tell the staff when I went in on the Friday with my pal, and we all laughed about it - they'd say "and how's your fancy man today Carrie?" (meaning DH of course.)

I know infidelity is no joke but it was funny to us because it had never crossed my mind that anyone would have thought that.

I never said I was out on my break this morning. I saw them in the coffee shop this morning (next to the train station). When I’m out on my break, when I work from home I see him often working from his desk at home.

at 915 when I saw them this morning I was getting a coffee before the train.

I see them walking most days. Early morning I see his wife go to work she’s a teacher.

This morning I did an early drop off as I was going into the office and getting the train.

hope that helps!!

Are you stalking him because you fancy him? Is your body angled towards him in an inappropriate fashion?

SorryButThatsAFact · 23/03/2023 18:26

But why do you need to tell anyone at all?

SorryButThatsAFact · 23/03/2023 18:35

I'm guessing you're fairly new to Mumsnet. Here, most women make it their life's work to make sure their men are as constrained, miserable and emasculated as possible. Then they complain when those same men bugger off with women who don't make their lives intolerable 🤣. I'd never dream of telling my husband what he could or couldn't do.

Bloody hell, get Netflix. For 7 quid a month you could change your life.

It’s called “Building up your part”.

Damn, he's on to us.

Just made a lot of mistakes early in life that I was smart enough to learn from

And start by watching The Crown. There’s a whole ‘nother OW story right there.

thegirlyupnorth · 23/03/2023 18:53

Well if it matters I'm interested how this pans out so for those of us that are please keep updating.

AnyoneElse1982 · 23/03/2023 18:57

I think there are a few on here just keen to spend their time taking the pi$$ out of people anonymously.

I’ll keep you updated if anything comes of it.

Btw OW is a SAHM. Her H has a very high profile job. I know he does long hours.

GalileoHumpkins · 23/03/2023 18:59

Do you keep a spreadsheet of their activities?

ThreeRingCircus · 23/03/2023 19:03

I do the school run with my friend's DH, we go to grab a coffee together after the school run sometimes and shock I've even given him a hug before when he told me his DF was very ill. I'll have to let him know that according to curtain twitchers we're clearly having an affair rather than just being mates.

You don't know anything OP, but you do seem to be loving it!
