...to feel a little miffed that DH is out for the day with a female friend

[skinofthericepudding]

My DH told me a few days ago that he'd be out cycling today. and would need the car. I asked a couple of days ago what time he would be back, and he said late afternoon. I happened to ask who he was cycling with (he belongs to a couple of cycling groups) and he said that it was a female friend. He has met her few times for lunch etc and they have been to a local town for the day together for lunch and sight seeing. They used to work together and I have to admit that they probably have more shared interests than we do! I have never met her, but can't help feeling a little put out that he's spending Sunday with her. AIBU?

"Meh. Everyone fantasises about fucking someone they shouldn't. The people worth having in your life keep it as a fantasy."

Well of course. I'm not going to police the inside of my partner's head and stop him from fancying other people as well as me - I certainly didn't when I got together with him, and, despite OW's "ha ha, gotcha, you deluded fools, I KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT MEN!" I am not shocked to know that he masturbates and isn't always just thinking about me. I do, however, realize that fancying people doesn't mean you have to immediately act on your desires (not least because I suspect various hot celebrities aren't going to suddenly decide to have filthy sex with me).

Exactly, leedy.

The day our partners can read our thoughts is the day I ship out of here. He doesn't need to know about my rich Idris Elba/Jamie Dornan fantasy life.

I'm really confused
I haven't shaved my armpits since last summer and regularly tell DH I'm too tired for shagging - so I should be worried, but he looks like the back end of a bus and is a builder, so regularly covered in crap, does this mean our marriage is safe?
He does have several construction projects in central London though, does this count as working in 'the City' (which I've come to understand is nothing but a huge den of iniquity)
I also work in 'the City' does this cancel out DH's 'cityness' or am I a shagger and just don't know it yet?
Please help

""but he looks like the back end of a bus and is a builder, so regularly covered in crap, does this mean our marriage is safe""

Of course not, he will soon catch the eye of some 'high status female' who has either done enough to secure her position, or isn't ready to and fancies a bit of rough.

'Alpha male', we aren't Wolves and all of the studies that look into the possibility of Human Alpha Males, suggest that the Beta Males were the ones having lots of sex, because they would be around the Females, whilst the Alpha's would be off, hunting, fishing, male bonding and have a very short life span.

It doesn't matter who you are and what you earn, look like, there's always someone willing to shag you, it's having the opportunity to make it happen.

I'm wondering what AnotherOW 's back story really is.

I think AnotherOW has already been married several times.

I have a long standing theory about alpha males. They chase skirt/use the sex industry to display their sexual prowess to other men.

I'm wondering what AnotherOW's backstory is.

Perhaps it is exactly the same similar to OP's?

Thanks Birtsgottafly I was hoping that since we are both knackered mingers we were afforded some immunity from these predatory cock-a-cidal maniacs. Looks like I'm going to have to move the family to the remotest island I can find.
This thread has been enlightening.

I am thoroughly enjoying OW

I'm sure she's too busy fighting off all the pinstriped Masters of the Universe, desperate for her to rip off their Rolexes and get some of their, er, excellent genetic material.

i'm guessing she's read enuf of all your nasty jibes to know she's hit a sore spot?

AnotherOW is comedy gold. Like a Jilly Cooper character come to life.
I'm highly dubious that they are a woman though. That ability to talk quite such total bollocks with such complete and utter conviction is really more of a male one.

I would ask when was the last time you went for a walk and pub lunch together? He could have used the broken bike on his day off to change his plans from hobby with friend to day out with wife.

But he didn't.

Or she's off to namechange again

Funniest thread I've read for ages, in a weird, twisted sort of way !

Massive thanks to MilkOfAmnesia for adding "cock-a-cidal maniacs" to my MN vocabulary of filth. I shall be looking to use it a.s.a.p.

Also loving AnotherOW too. She's like the crazy guest at a dinner party who, after you've sobered up, you wonder if she really existed !!

She's hilarious. You could be forgiven for thinking it was all a script.

I'm thinking of using it as my username.

In fact, I just have

What the hell is going on here?

Where's the OP?

Milkofamnesia

Stay confused !

Someone told me about a male staff member (not fit) that said he was relieved when he turned 50 as he was not so rampantly horny all the time

Why are men so horny ? And why are we all so tired ?

CockacidalManiac - I salute your new moniker, goodbye to TheSinkingFeeling !

Now my username looks absolutely rubbish, like a 1950s housewife.

I suppose I could be WankBadgerCockWomble.................you'll have to wait and see......

The OP has fucked off, EponasWildDaughter, so we're making our own entertainment.
