To go and crawl into a pit of shame and never show my face again?

From the OP who bought you "Girl and Skirt vs Wind and Tesco Window..."

I've just sent a picture of my boobs to my FIL.

I'm not really a flasher-type person (aside from in Tescos, clearly) however my OH likes getting the odd boob snap. I've only ever done it once before.
I'm working away this weekend and OH is pining so I send a quick snap, nothing fancy - just my knockers.

But I haven't sent it to him, have I? Oh no, because that wouldn't be horrifically embarrassing. I instead send it to FIL, similar first name, same surname, text message above OHs.

I can't think of a solution but to go and hide away forever. AIBU just to never see PIL again?

Any ideas how I can salvage this?

Send him one of your vag and wait for him to shout bingo.

FunkyBoldRibena · 08/11/2013 22:10

Um....

HenriettaPie · 08/11/2013 22:10

You can never see him again. Leave your OH a note and tell him you must emigrate and you will find him someday...

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 08/11/2013 22:11

Can you not just be honest and say, "Sorry. That was meant for your son!"?

Supergem · 08/11/2013 22:11

Say you wanted to show them how nice the necklace looks but somehow forgot to put your top on????

newforest · 08/11/2013 22:11

I like Willsing's idea. I could never face my partner's father if I did this!

Objection · 08/11/2013 22:12

I could go down the breast feeding route but I'm not pregnant and have no children so it might not work

FIL won't notice the necklace, even if he has a long, hard look at the photo.

plum100 · 08/11/2013 22:12

you poor thing - I would want to die of shame.

Not helpful I know.

BillyBanter · 08/11/2013 22:12

several cross postings there.

Style it out by sending another text saying 'thank you for the necklace!' You're doomed now anyway. May as well go down in a ball of flames.

Objection · 08/11/2013 22:14

Thank you, BillyBanter, I try Wink someone has to be the Miranda of the town...

looks like they might send you another special necklace if you show your appreciation that way.

Arraggh
is their any way you can intercept his phone how supportive is MIL?

I think she would rather delete it for you than him see it

One day you will laugh at this
when your boobs have gone south

until then there is Wine

Is there any chance he might have switched it off for the night in which case your (or a caring DH) could phone and tell him not to look?

BillyBanter · 08/11/2013 22:18

This is your DH's fault for being a filthy horny perv. Get him to sort it out.

Sidge · 08/11/2013 22:18

Text again saying "Thank you for my lovely necklace. Unfortunately I'm allergic to the metal, it makes my bra fall off".

SlightlyJaded · 08/11/2013 22:19

Call your PIL in tears.

Tell them that you've been robbed and that the thief took your phone and your lovely necklace.

Mention that they thief was a busty female and that you could tell she had the air of an exhibitionist about her.

Or, end your relationship and move to New Zealand

Objection · 08/11/2013 22:19

Cannot intercept phone, too far away. MIL no help, she'd only sve the photo and share it around.

Anyone know of anywhere nice to stay in South America?

killpeppa · 08/11/2013 22:20

tell him they are someone else's but your consider a boob job & thought yous show OP the size you want- only one cup size bigger...

okay it's a long shot,
but better than what you've got going aATM

Objection · 08/11/2013 22:21

I'm intrigued as to what an "air of exhibitionist" would be like

though i guess I could just look in the mirror Sad Blush

How old is the FIL?

He's not likely to need medical attention is he?
