My partner told friends that she has had 110 partners last night

526 replies

Plutorover · 02/03/2014 09:47

My partner of 7 years who is 40 told some friends that she had slept with approximately 110 men in the past. I did know this, but feel angry that she decided to tell others. It was at a school reunion do that I was not at. The question was specifically asked in a finding out game. I don't understand why she didn't tell them to mind their own business or lie.

She has hinted at it before to my brother too. May have actually told him but I'm unsure.

Why would she do this? Am I wrong to feel aggrieved about this?
Thanks
Confused and angry bloke

110 is the figure from four weddings and a funeral, and that was a joke, no doubt most people thought 110 was a joke too.

it must be

CrotchMaven · 02/03/2014 18:19

hickorychicken, that is not the same. It would be the same if you were talking about a woman going onto the forum that her husband frequents. That would be a proper reversal.

What do you think the responses in that scenario would be?

WilsonFrickett · 02/03/2014 18:19

Most husbands aren't regular MNers though hickory - I am now getting the feeling OP posted this specifically so his wife would see it.

I can categorically assure you my responses would be no different if it was a woman posting too.

hickorychicken · 02/03/2014 18:21

Is she actually on MN?

waltermittymissus · 02/03/2014 18:23

Yes, hickory. OP said she is.

ISeeYouShiverWithAntici · 02/03/2014 18:23

I don't think I have read any threads where a woman has a husband that she knows uses mn so she decides to join up in order to post something that she hopes will get replies that will bash her husband, knowing that he will read them.

How many have you read? mn is a big place. I've probably missed them.

hickorychicken · 02/03/2014 18:24

Then i apologise. Thats actually quite...nasty and a bitt underhand Confused
Seeing this thread so differently now.Hmm

MeepMeepVrooom · 02/03/2014 18:36

The fact she posts here and you know she may see it is quite possibly one of the most dickish things I've heard.

If you have any respect for your wife you'd report and have the post deleted.

VeggySausage · 02/03/2014 18:40

Op's wife, if you reading this.. Glad you enjoyed yourself Grin

and maybe you should reconsider stopping at 111 Wink

LunchLadyWannabe · 02/03/2014 18:41

I can understand your point pluto

I think i would be embarrassed that she had told many people.

She may have told people because she is proud of it.

In your partners shoes, i wouldn't be telling a soul as i think its shameful.

Its also embarrassing for you now as people will judge you for being with the village bike.

Im embarrassed about some things my husband has done in the past before meeting me, and thats why i dont tell anyone.

How many people someone has slept with is private, its not something to boast about.

StickEmUpBigStyle · 02/03/2014 18:44

Pull the other one OP; you think people will think your wife's a slag and how it will make YOU LOOK.
Its your gender who dictates what slag means so tough tits.

MeepMeepVrooom · 02/03/2014 18:45

Was it boasting though? Playing a daft game after a few drinks. I'd be truly surprised if anyone has given it a second thought today.

Who actually cares? I'm not ashamed of my past, I'm not proud of some of it but certainly not ashamed. It's made me who I am today.

hickorychicken · 02/03/2014 18:48

I dont like what i think the OP's reasons are for posting but i do see where hes coming from... id be more pissed about the brother thing though tbh.
In life people judge, people may say they dont but its human nature.
Still think its horrendous to do this here now i re-read.

gamerchick · 02/03/2014 19:08

Man that's a low blow blow OP. I would be fucking gutted if my bloke did that to me. Bit of tit for tatt eh? Grow up!

scottishmummy · 02/03/2014 19:12

Maybe I'm just sleekit,but I wouldn't tell truth in truth game
I'd always portray myself in a flattering manner

frumpet · 02/03/2014 19:15

If i were you OP , i would be thinking along the lines that my partner had slept with 109 people and then they met me and well 7 years later she is still here because i am hung like the proverbial donkey and i am shit hot at sex . Because that is what all the women in your 'village' are secretly thinking , and so truth be told are the men , sit back and enjoy the sudden onslaught of flirting from everyone and their labrador Wink

Fairenuff · 02/03/2014 19:18

In life people judge, people may say they dont but its human nature.

Yes but when it's your own partner judging you and finding you lacking, it's time to rethink your relationship.

Crowler · 02/03/2014 19:19

I think some people are living in an alternate reality where only "rapists" (?) would object to a woman sleeping with 110 men before him.

FauxFox · 02/03/2014 19:29

And the moral of the story is…don't go to school reunions they are weird - if you liked the people that much you would have kept in touch independently of awkward, truth-or-dare ridden buffets of soggy sandwiches in pub function rooms. HTH Grin

VivianStanshall · 02/03/2014 19:32

Quite Crowler I can't claim to speak for all men but when the subject has come up down the pub there are very few men that wouldn't mind a partner with a three figure history.

People can label that judging, puritanical,.double standards, whatever you want to call it.

But it is reality.

HavantGuard · 02/03/2014 19:38

I'd label it patriarchal bullshit. HTH.

This thread is literally unbelievable.

BillyBanter · 02/03/2014 19:40

Why say this? I'm trying to say this tactfully, but what has your husband got to do with anything? If he's posting on here, of course he's welcome to his opinion, but to bring that up as though that should then be the end of the discussion is just daft.

Why not offer it up? No harm in it. 1. it's just another opinion to add to the many. 2. it's adding another man's opinion on a board of mostly women. It could be interesting if in the thread it emerges that there is a gender split in opinion, or not. 3. It's easy enough to ignore.

namechangesforthehardstuff · 02/03/2014 19:41

Did I just read the words 'village bike' in something written in the 21st century?

VivianStanshall · 02/03/2014 19:42

It is the case though, like it or not. Clearly a majority "not" on this thread, but not all.

YoYoItsYoyoTheYoyoYo · 02/03/2014 19:43

Ewwwww. You've come to the wrong place here tbh, people will probably bite your head off for asking.

Serious question, have you been checked for STDs? I would.
