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. 😲

You're both consenting Adults, so I don't see an issue apart from some embarrassment unless, of course, he's married? As for him thinking you're "loose and common" well, as the saying goes, it takes two to tango, if you are so is he.
We've all done things when drunk that we regret in the cold light of day - all you can do is move on with life.
I'm impressed that your kitchen is big enough to have a sofa though!

It's well known that some women of that age are quite capable of conceiving, but the chances of a 43 yr old conceiving with a ONS are slim, far lower than a 30 yr old. In this case probably zero since I don't think it happened.

Agreed, the chances of an imaginary 43-yo conceiving with an imaginary vicar are 0%.

Yet you felt the need to write a bitter, angry and somewhat nonsensically mad reply to it. And then to keep on replying. A nonchalant person would not have done that.

Hello Pot, I see you've already met Ms Kettle...

I just don't care if posts like this are real. As I said upthread, I regard it like a bookclub. It doesn't matter that the book is fiction - its entertaining to discuss the themes and characters anyway. For me, the interesting thing about this thread is how many people genuinely don't realise that Anglican teaching does not support anglican clergy being casual shaggers. That's been fascinating.

Anyway, I regard people who pop up on these threads saying, 'Its not true you know, dumbasses!' as being like someone at a bookclub who keeps saying, ' Its not true you know, stop taking it so seriously!', i,e, completely missing the point as to why people are enjoying making their comments.

It’s nothing like a book club. If forum members want to discuss fiction in the same way they would in a book club then they would join a book club.
there’s plenty of online ones , I was a member of the mumsnet one many years ago.

Unlikely at 43. Although I know someone who conceived at 45, most women are infertile by 41, approx 10 yrs before menopause, and one act makes it even less likely.

Nonsense. Most women are very much not 'infertile by 41'.

Hilarious just the sentence I shag the vicar. Made me laugh. Good on you

Based on the work of the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welsby so he probably knows a thing or two! James Norton was in the first few series I think.

Go on girl!! Does he have a brother? Asking for a friend (my imaginative one) 😉🤭

Not nonsense. In a purely technical sense you're right, because a woman isn't termed infertile until she's had 12 months without a period, unless of course infertility has been diagnosed. Yet it can be very difficult for a woman in her 40s to conceive even with a regular cycle. Poorer quality eggs and cycles where eggs fail to be released become ever more prominent with each passing year. We can all point to women who have conceived at 41 and later, but we don't see all the women who would have failed if they'd tried to conceive at this age. If we trace our family trees and go back to pre contraceptive times we can see that a woman tended to have her last child at around 40 yrs.

Why the heck are you arguing over fertility when the OP was just having a bit of a fantasy? It's clear it was never real and she's never come back.

Oh, that's just Mumsnet. You can view the twists and turns as interesting diversions or just off topic and irritating. I don't think any of us believe the OP.

Did he recite the Lords Prayer before doing the deed "For what we are about to receive my the Lord make us truly thankful"?

ForNoisyCat · 02/09/2026 18:59

FunCrab · 01/09/2026 21:59

it sounds to me that he is spreading the word and much more beyond.
i suspect he is searching new ways to promote religion.

The bible told ‘em to spread their seed….

I had my younger child when I was almost 40. My mother had me when she was 50, younger brother when 42 and younger sister when 45 .

If she had your siblings at 42 and 45, they'd be older than you, not younger.
