DH would like to meet me in a bar. We are strangers. We must woo each other over wine and Nobby's Nuts. We will talk gaily and freely, fall madly in lust, then off to the Ibis Budget we go for a night of passion.

There are a couple of things DH does that really get my goat. But I don't mention them. Can I moan to this strange man about my husband? He will surely agree with anything I say, because we are strangers in a bar and he wants my mouth around his bing crosbies.

E.g. "Wow I am so happy to be going to back to the Ibis Budget with you handsome stranger, instead of DH, who usually enters the bed with socks on and nothing else, is fine for a bit, then has a manic faff because his feet are hot, and tries to hook his socks onto my big toe for leverage in order to remove them. You wouldn't do that, would you handsome stranger?"

Will any of what I say carry back over in to reality? Or does the information revealed in fantasy land remain in fantasy land?

maybe but as long as its just one item mentioned casually rather than a list of complaints

SixImpossible · 05/10/2014 17:09

Perhaps, rather than complain about dh to your mysterious - and strangely attractive - stranger, you could compliment him on your certainty and delight that he is a man who takes off his socks before joining you in the field of passion.

Perhaps tell him how the sight of male toes excites you beyond measure...

Definitely make an assumption that HS won't do X rather than moan that MrBingCrosbies does certain annoying things.

bingcrosbies · 05/10/2014 17:15

Ah yes, a positive spin is needed!

Actually it's really just the sock thing tbf.

Don't want to get overexcited about feet though in case he comes out of it thinking "ah - bingcrosbies has revealed her fetish for male feet - time to get the trotters out more often and give her a good time"

I would, but be careful incase he retorts with something you do that he doesn't like...

BoneyBackJefferson · 05/10/2014 17:37

You can tell that this night of passion is going to end so well.

Agree about making it a positive spin. I can imagine how deflated id feel if my other half used a night off for fun as an opportunity to tell me what they don't like about me.

LosingAllTheLego · 05/10/2014 17:41

Erm is that what gets your juices flowing, moaning about your DH? If so then knock yourself out! But in the spirit of your roleplay, I can't imagine getting talking to a stranger in a bar and turning him on with tales of how my DH puts empty bottles back in the fridge, or other such crap!!!

Thebodyloveschocolateandwine · 05/10/2014 17:41

I think it would be a horrible thing to do.

He may start pointing out your annoying habits.

We all have them Grin

ChippingInLatteLover · 05/10/2014 17:43

I presume you are joking.

gentlehoney · 05/10/2014 17:43

I wouldn't. It might upset him or cause a row.

mommy2ash · 05/10/2014 17:43

if you are being serious that is a horrible idea and will most likely end up ruining your roleplay. why not just tell him?

ArsenicFaceCream · 05/10/2014 17:44

I can see this degenerating into gritted teeth and passive aggression.

steps2change · 05/10/2014 17:44

If the socks thing is a bit of a running joke for the two of you then maybe, and if you think he will respond in kind i.e. with a lighthearted poke at you, and then you get on with the rest of the night, then maybe...

But there is scope for this to go very very wrong! I think you mean it lightheartedly but still...

bloodyteenagers · 05/10/2014 17:52

For role playing you talk about each others turns offs/ons. Afterall you are strangers. You talk about what you want each other to do. You start with saying along the lines of where you like being touched and kissed, and that when naked you like to feel the others persons body as well. Not to be restrained by clothing of any type. You start this while seducing each other over wine and nuts. Carrying on the talk to the room. It's all about the context.

Don't go moaning directly about what he does that you don't like. You run into the issue of either him doing the same, or it totally turns him off and you go back to knowing each other while he grills you about what else you don't like.
