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

[AnyoneElse1982]

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.

Don’t act like a bully. I’m sure you’re not. But you’re starting to come across as one.

It's bullying for people to point out your inconsistency?

Not sure what the inconsistencies are, if you let me know I can clarify for you.

Do you think that’s what they’re doing? I don’t know the sketch.

I don't need any clarification, thanks. Anyway, this is funnier.

Oh come on, MNHQ. None of those posts were abusive.

They must think they are. I’m not sure why you’re trying to derail the thread.

A self awareness point there for you perhaps?

I'm deeply ashamed. If my life gets much emptier, I'll be reduced to spying on my neighbours and sharing my thoughts on all the sex I imagine they're having on Mumsnet.

Yes, I know this will go kaput too, but not before you see it.

Agreed. The deletions are ridiculous.

Now that's just unfair. Now I'm just imagining all my neighbours having sex. And not with the person they are supposed to.

The crazy cat lady I don't like next door, is now hanging from the ceiling with the bloke down the road who walks his dog in my head.

Give me brain bleach please.

Is she a SAHM? Does her husband have a very high profile job? Does he work long hours?

Na. She lives alone. She doesn't work the hours she's supposed to for the civil service (slacker). No kids. No one stupid enough to do that.

She also has an insane number of CCTV cameras, so she can monitor everyone who comes with 50ft of her house, due to her ridiculous paranoia issues. Would have made a good curtain twitcher herself back in the day.

But yeah she'd know what time to jump the dog walker.

Hello, I’m back. It’s been a few weeks. But as I said I’d say nothing. But now they’ve been seen together being physical. And well I’m sure his wife will find out soon.

Touching each other where they thought they were hiding.

As you've said about ten times, yes. 🙄

I'm not sure that in the few weeks you've been away that anyone's developed a fuck about this.

🤣🤣🤣
Quite

I use to go for coffee with one of the dads from school run, we weren’t having an affair.

They were caught touching each other in a secluded place (near a park).

Maybe if you knew the people and the kids and their partners you wouldn’t feel this way. I’ve never seen anyone have an affair before, these two are pretty rubbish at hiding it too.
