To be bitterly disappointed in my DW

[MDK]

She says it's just for laughs and doesn't really mean anything to her but after years together, sharing our laughter and love it appears that she's had enough and moved on.

She's registered on a very similar forum to Mumsnet, with a very similar name. If it was another man I could cope, but this.. words fail me.

One "quick peep" leads to another, as we all know. Better to resist temptation.

I can resist anything, but temptation

I fear she's gone. Another one bites the dust. Oh well, I tried...

She might have joined the OP on the becoming a lesbian thread?

But don't join her, Grennie.

I'm quite concerned about the OP. He tends to disappear for inordinate lengths of time with no updates on his wellbeing. I'm not worried about his wife - she's the one who started this whole sorry business.

I'm off for a gander, how bad can it be? One little look can't hurt, can it?

JUST SAY NO!

Leave the bastard.

My name is Finola and I am an ex netmummy. It happened a few years ago before I had found redemption in Mumsnet. I still feel ashamed of my actions. I admit I even posted on a few threads. But in my defence it was when I was a new mum. I knew no better. I never created my own thread and I never had a ticker. I feel so much better now that I have confessed. My brief visit last night brought it all back. I know I can be strong.

Finola - You know you have committed a grievous wrong but you have made a full confession and have sincerely expressed remorse. To err is human. You will not do this again. Welcome back to the faithful. You are absolved - go in peace, my daughter.

AlfalfaMum - I trust you have read Finola's moving post. Be warned. That "one little look" approach has been the downfall of many. Enter that forbidden threshhold and, before you know it, you will be trapped in a silken web of heady and illicit enchantment (deceptive, of course, and ultimately fatal) which will leave you forever craving more. You will be able to think of nothing but returning there. Resist those siren shores.

It sure feels good to have got it off my chest. But on a serious note, while having that quick peek, I read a thread that I found really quite disturbing. The Thread was started by a woman whose partner has cheated, may be continuing to be unfaithful. They have a very young baby. She was offered lots of advice. But all the advice was centred on how she should fight back to keep him, not letting the ow win, it's what men do, he's an idiot but what can you expect. Not one poster asked why she would want to stay. Not one person posted a LTB. Not one. The blatant acceptance of his unfaithfulness was staggering. It was almost enough for me to re-register with them to point this out. Almost but not quite.

Finola - there is a serious thread debating just these issues at the moment : "AIBU to think there's a lot of snobbery here with regards the Netmums site". I think you would find a lot of kindred spirits! (Not, of course, that THIS thread wasn't serious, ahem)

We have a cool rebels club here? Who? Where? I want to be in that gang!

Op. Have you considered counselling? Or simply duct taping mittens to her until she's got all the sparkly shit out her system?
