Ok where to start, My girlfriends best friend has put me in a bit of a bind, she decided she's ready to not only talk to girls on this plenty of fish site but she's been actually going out and meeting up.

At first i kinda thought its not my business but then i realised that my girlfriend also new all about this too and had obvioviously been keeping it a secret, well my girlfriend told me about this kiss her best friend had the other night with this group of other lesbians.

im devasted i actually get on better with my girlfriends bestfriends girlfriend and i totally adore the baby, but now i m not going to be able to sit with them knowing i could just get an attack of the guilt monster and just blurt it out it as it has happened before.

Mind you she's no angel, she has slept with men in the past, but i thought after they planned their baby and she was born they would all end up with their happy ending.

Im worried about when it does come out and she knows i knew and i never said anything, will she hate me too?, im not great at lying and if she asked me she'd no there was something wrong .

what do i do?

Excellent, a carpenter just what I need. Can you tell me if I'm making life hard for myself by wanting floating shelves in my alcoves when I could just put baton on three sides and plonk a bit of shelving on?

Just how much extra whorl is involved in making them float?

Oh and with the GF/BF thing - I'd keep well out of it

leghoul · 15/02/2016 15:21

My advice would be to take a step back and don't tell anyone anything. You mentioned a kiss, but you didn't see it first hand and you don't know if her partner even wants to know. I think you need to stop feeling guilty. This isn't your relationship or your place to say anything. You sound lovely OP and I know it must be difficult not saying anything if it is bothering you, but I think it's for the best to disengage somewhat with the issue and not share your concerns, trusting that it will work out in the end.

BinaryFinary · 15/02/2016 15:22

Kerist it's catching

Plonk bit of shelving on top

Whorl = work

Nanny0gg · 15/02/2016 15:23

What were you doing on PoF?

And it's nothing to do with 'educational disadvantages'. We just couldn't follow your train of thought.

Binary Watching with interest r.e floating shelves query.

FannyFifer · 15/02/2016 15:40

Nope still not a clue, is OP a man or woman?

CircusFeak · 15/02/2016 15:40

Am i allowed to comment on this post about my bestfriend and her not so clean partner?

FannyFifer · 15/02/2016 15:41

Floating shelves would be less work though not as able to bear a heavy load as a regular shelf whichever is supported on 3 sides.

FannyFifer · 15/02/2016 15:42

Which, not whichever.

DonkeyOaty · 15/02/2016 15:44

Exhausted trying to make sense of this.

I would advise, well, what WOULD I advise. Hmmmmmm. I would advise do nothing. Just be your usual self.

There. Oh and good luck!

Sparklingbrook · 15/02/2016 15:44

Ok where to start. Yes indeed, I have no idea.

manicattack · 15/02/2016 15:47

Floating shelves you need extremely straight walls for them but personally i think there worth the extra effort im a first fit site carpenter firstly i build roofing structures im also a mum of five i work extremely hard im totally in touch with my male and feminine side i do look like jesus sister and the pof thing if you type the first part of someone email address into the google search bar then click all images news ect obviously there related stuff comes up im sure most of u know that hope that was in the right context her profile pic came up on images im not on a dating site i been with my girlfriend 4 years now and love her more today then i did yesterday i just wish everyone could feel the same

Well that was your first mistake - this if very often not the case.

It isn't your relationship so I would stay out of it.

If you don't feel strongly enough to tell the one who is being cheated on what is going on (sounds like you don't), then I would step away from them all until it goes bang.

Very horrible that the partner is the "last to know!" and your GF's BF is cheating so openly.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/02/2016 15:52

Thanks for clearing that up OP. You sound like you have enough on your plate for now anyway

LovelyFriend · 15/02/2016 15:52

and I would advise you to at least use basic punctuation if you want people to engage with you properly on a forum like this.

LovelyFriend · 15/02/2016 15:54
  • commas
  • full stops
  • new sentances
are the bare minimum.

paragraphs are preferred and make things much easier to read.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/02/2016 15:56

Donkey Well the stump on wheels looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Inertia · 15/02/2016 15:59

What are you planning to put on the shelves Binary? If it's books, then I'd go for battens every time, but if it's lightweight stuff like twigs and pebbly shit then you'll probably be ok with floating shelves .

OP- Stay out of it. Otherwise there will be arguments, wine all over the walls, wasps-who knows where it'll end.

toldmywrath · 15/02/2016 16:03

LovelyFriendI had to chortle at your spelling mistake/typo "sentances" ^^.

I agree, books need solid shelves. Twigs and shit can go on anything.

5 kids and at college OP, I'm amazed you have the time to worry about other people's love lives.

LovelyFriend · 15/02/2016 16:06

chortle away - I'm a crap typist, but at least you can understand me.
