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. 😲

Cdm - clergy discipline measure. They aren’t supposed to shag the parish. Obvs everybody makes mistakes but )like doctors) vicars are held to a higher standard.

If this is true then he's opened himself to a world of possible CDMs. Idiot.

(I'm married to a vicar)

Yes i must admit to being surprised that people think this is so funny.

OP can have sex with who she likes but if the vicar really goes round having sex with random women on their sofas then i think he is in the wrong job. Iwoukld have thought his alchol consumption was quite questionable as well.

You’re a grown woman.

Why would you be embarrassed about this.

Good for you (and him). I’m hoping this goes somewhere, if it’s something you’d like. Please don’t even think about being “loose”. Such a dated and inappropriate view - we should not feel ashamed for having a natural desire and sex drive. Mine went through the roof at about your age (peri-meno and divorce were a great awakening 😉)

You’re both single so it affects no one but the two of you. Yes, the bible preaches against sex before marriage but 🤷‍♀️ Marriage back then was different anyway and often not happening from a place of love, but convenience.

I am Christian and believe in the teachings of Jesus, but I also know we’re all human and no one is perfect - not vicars, not me, not my non-Christian friends, not my atheist friends, nor the agnostics, the baptists or 7-day adventists, and don’t even get me started on some of the Catholic priests.

Just enjoy the moment - it’s no on else’s business but yours and his. He might feel some guilt, but will pray about it, and he might not. All Christians have a very personal walk with God and it’s not for anyone else to judge.

Beware the hypocrisy and gossip of parishioners if you start seeing each other. And I say this as a church-going Christian - I’ve experienced it myself. The judgement from people who profess not to judge (lest they be judged) is disgraceful. It’s often the more mature ladies who’ve been married forever (happily and not) and who probably would have, given the chance. That’s the irony.

Feck, Arse !

For a while I had a job that involved a rather early start and I would often see a local church warden (male) driving away from the vicarage in a nearby village where the vicar (female) who covered a number of parishs lived.

I never said anything and it was months before anyone found out

Neither of them must have seen fornication as a sin, they were both single at the time

Now a happy couple I believe 😁

Lots of modern day Christian’s, and churches, have watered down sin to ‘all the stuff I didn’t want to do anyway’ and reframed all the stuff they do want to do as ‘not a sin after all’. 😁

They might as well accept they are secularists.

You have a sofa, in your kitchen?

Is this the stealth brag? That you have a kitchen large enough for a sofa?!

Loose and common people have open plan.

🤣

Does anyone else think that kitchen sofas are just such a bad idea?

The only place I’ve had a kitchen sofa was a student flat in 2005, and it was mostly because we had an extra person using the living room as a bedroom 😅

Sandunesandseashells · 31/08/2026 14:45

I have a sofa in my kitchen to make my mum sit down with a cuppa and stop getting in my way when I’m cooking. It’s never seen this sort of action!

I wonder if it made the Sunday papers 😂

Not so far as l know!

He was probably relaxed about it all till you posted it on Mumsnet

Honestly, I think you’re worrying far more than you need to! You’re both single adults and it sounds like there was mutual attraction. Just go to the cycling meet, act normally and don’t make it awkward. And I doubt he’s sitting there thinking you’re “loose and common”!

BunnyLake · 31/08/2026 14:47

Lossaloft · 31/08/2026 14:34

Vicars most certainly do have these restrictions. Fornication is a sin and so is adultery.

Fornication, that’s a dusty, musty old word isn’t it. Haven’t come across that in a very long time.

Kitchen sofa - a stealth flex from OP there 😂

The sofa is in the spare kitchen - next to the servant's living quarters

Allseeingallknowing · 31/08/2026 14:48

He’s gone down in my estimation

NortieTortie · 31/08/2026 14:48

I wouldn't worry about it, no more 'loose and common' than he is - and he's the one with more to lose. Enjoy it 😁

In your estimation ? Is that a euphemism?😂

Maybe like a scullery?

With a sofa in it.

Most things that aren’t against the law can have a humorous side.

This made me laugh out loud!

Dorothyperky · 31/08/2026 14:53

I've laughed my socks off.

I'm a chorister and I've seen some dishty vicars.

I have to know was he wearing his cassock?
My barrister friend used to wear his wig and gown!

Good luck to you, he might want to offer you guidance 😁

Helpfully precise though when PP thought catholic priests can’t shag but Protestant vicars can.
