Omg I shagged the vicar

BC for this one!!

last summer I moved to a new village with my 2 teen DC’s following my divorce. I’ve made a real effort to integrate into village life and joined a cycling group which I love.

a couple of new members joined a few months ago, one of whom is the vicar from a nearby parish. He’s 39 single. I’m 43.

on Friday we all met for drinks snd I ended Ho inviting a group back to my house. Kids are away with their dad. We all had a few more drinks at my house before people started heading home. There’s been a little bit of flirtation between me and the vicar and it ended up just me and him- we had some more wine and he was being very complimentary and was clearly trying it on. We ended up kissing and I’m afraid that I ended up shagging him on my kitchen sofa. Very out of character for me.

im now mortified that I have to see him at cycle meet this week. My friends think it’s hilarious but im worried he’ll think I’m loose and common. 😲

well they seem to get plenty in Grantchester

Made me think of Grantchester too. Many shagging vicars in that.

RigsbysCat · 31/08/2026 17:00

Are you living in Granchester?

Yes

That's very sad for religious people 😕

PinkBottle75 · 31/08/2026 17:01

He showed you the way... in more ways than one!

I also want to know was he collared up or was he casual!

Is this common practice for him to go around taking a shine aka looking for a good bible bashing with parishoners?

He's a bit weird OP. I'd be careful about doodooing on your own doorstep. By all means shag vicars, but do it in different villages...

Where does it go from here, do you see yourself as the vicar's wife or love interest?!

EmeraldShamrock000 · 31/08/2026 17:01

Well you’ve definitely integrated yourself into the local parish. 😅

Cadburys Dairy Milk is what springs to my mind but I don't suppose it's that 😁

Construction and Design Management, perhaps...

Someone who is much more up on these things than I am managed to locate three references to sex In the New Testament and those are more in passing but it's full of money debt and wealth

I'm not sure I believe this.

It seems very childish for a woman in her 40s so come onto social media saying this.

Vicars are just well, men or women. They have girlfriends (or boyfriends), marry, and all the usual stuff.

Too much watching of Grantchester, methinks @Lapdog78 😂

Edited

I hope not for OPs sake.

I don’t really understand why she’d be so embarrassed to have sex if she’s a grown adult.

There’s definitely something very childish about it.

Lossaloft · 31/08/2026 17:09

Most societies condemn sexual immorality but you don’t need religion for that. What Christ was concerned about was belief

I always find this a really strange argument. Beliefs that exist unconnected from actions are what we commonly call hypocrisy. What is the point of a belief that does not lead to behaviour? Jesus was a Jew, and Judaism is very much based in actions and practice and Jesus was part of that that tradition. When he prevented the woman condemned for sexual
immorality from being stoned, he turned and told her to sin no more. He was clear her actions were sinful. Actions have always been central to Christianity. And linking actions and belief is central to any coherent belief system whether secular or spiritual.

Good for you! You're both single 😊

Agree with this.

MalcolmTent · 31/08/2026 17:24

What a load of old shite 😆

@MalcolmTent the story or the pearl clutching!

Funniest thread on Mumsnet today.

RainRainKeepComing · 31/08/2026 17:27

I hope he or you had a condom at the ready because if he's been dipping himself rather drunkenly into too many fonts, it doesn't bode well.

Dollymylove · 31/08/2026 17:27

The vicar of a church local to me had a sex change in the 70s. My friend told me, I told my mum. My mum didnt believe me......until the News of the world got wind of it😉

Allseeingallknowing · 31/08/2026 17:28

Funny though it is, the last thing I’d do is tell anyone. If his superiors get to hear of it he’ll be in trouble.

He'll surely be concerned about what it will do for his standing within the parish community should this get out.

Crikey it’s been decades since I heard a woman worry she might be seen as ‘loose or common’ after a casual shag. Did you time slip from the 70s?

Its still a thing that women are judged on being slags, not saying its right but its definitely not gone away as a social stigma.

Look at bonnie blue...

This reads like a letter to an agony act circa 1968.

C'mon OP- admit this is a bank hols bit of fun and it never really happened.

Dorothyperky · 31/08/2026 17:41

My former C of E vicar was hysterical with the jokes.
Clergy have many a story to tell. They have an excellent education and they see such things.
You have to have some black humour.

I don't think he'll be 'confessing'.
Fwiw the bible teaches us the purpose of life is love. It takes many forms but everything we do is about receiving love even the tosspots overseas destroying our world.

It least OP you don't need a Claire's law enquiry or DBs as he will already have one.

I would have boffed all the Grantchester lot if I was single!

I have basically come to regard MN threads in the same way I regard a bookclub.

It may well be fiction but the themes and characters are still so entertaining to discuss and debate. 😁

I would say Bonnie Blue waa at the extreme end of the spectrum tbh

MargotLovesTom · 31/08/2026 17:47

Sounds like a Fiona Walker type novel to me. Needs to have an eccentric older neighbour, a stalwart best friend with whom the heroine has lots of wine and heart to hearts at the pine kitchen table, a part time job at the village GP surgery or local Arts Centre and a competing love interest in the shape of a hunky landscape gardener.
