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

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?

Aerfen : no, the OP never came back with an update. Perhaps her husband works in the City, so after OW's posts she realised she was chasing a lost cause.

Shame really, I wanted to know if he'd taken clothes to change into, as this would have been a give away.

Just read your update OP about his friend's bike having a fault. Really sorry but major alarm bells rang and I got a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. Walking in the countryside and lunch, just the two of them is a very romantic, coupley thing to do and I would have thought unlikely given the cycling clothing etc. I hope i am wrong.

This thread is like painting the Golden Gate Bridge! Grin
And I keep looking in the vain hope OP will come back.
But in my heart of hearts, I think she's gone. Gone I tell ya. . .

leedy if i could like ypur post i would.

People weren't picking on ow, just giving back what she gave Grin
I thought Mnhq only delete posts if abusive, homophobic or being a goadyfucker, not simply because a lot of people disagree with them!
If they deleted them because people disagreed, threads would never stay in this section!!Grin

Yes, HQ read the offending post and THEN decide if it break guidelines. So, as an example, I have reported a post before and it has remained.

Therefore, HQ decided in this case that the post was goady/rude/whatever. If OTHER posters' posts have not been removed, then that doesn't just mean no one reported them; it means HQ (who have now had the whole thread brought to their attention) decided the rest of it was ok.

And if they thought there was any ganging up en masse, they would delete the whole thing (which they might still do anyway, but more because OP has scarpered and people are getting into a lather about something totally different).

And AnotherOW hasn't been back either, which suggests to me that MNHQ might have taken stronger action that just deleting posts.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 25/03/2016 12:36

Why on earth would OW necessitate 'stronger action ' - she had an opinion - sheesh!

If MN have banned OW the world has gone fucking batshit crazy

To be fair it's more likely she decided she'd had enough. I don't think she was ganged up on but she probably got bored or a bit upset

BadgerCrossing · 25/03/2016 13:56

I thought AnotherOW was practising writing a sex and city airport novel.

sofato5miles · 25/03/2016 15:18

Not popular obviously, but I thought she made some interesting points. Her aggression was a bit off but then I thought many of the PP also wrote in kind.

Hi I’m wondering if anyone can help me or knows anything about this sort of thing.. basically I’ve just found my partner after 11 years on a site called AdultWork with escorts offering their services 🙈 the page had timed out but was stuck in the page where I seen various messages he had sent too different women I’ve tried investigating as much as I can into this site and what this and that means but too one particular girl he has said massage please then a bit further a message saying booking and then a couple more dozen feedback.. I have obvs confronted him and after a while managed too her out of him he had just been looking and admitted too making s booking but couldn’t “actually” go through with it.. I don’t believe him of course and I’ve said how do you explain the message feedback I assume asking for feedback surely there wouldn’t be a message asking for feedback if nothing happened right.. he abolsutmey trying too bare face lie too me I’m 5 months pregnant with our second child and I feel sick too my stomach I know for a fact he’s met up with this girl but have no way too prove it like I said too him why would there be this feedback message then and he just says he don’t know I’ve split up with him and will be going too get checked out soon !?

Hi Marie, I’m really very sorry you are going through this Flowers

You should start a new thread so that people will be able to find ur post to help. Just copy your original post (above) and click “start new thread”. You might want to post in “Relationships” topic as there will be a lot of very useful advice and helpful posters with experience of what you are going through.

Good luck x

I know it's an old thread but I am a keen cyclist and I like cycling with other people just like jogging as it can be very boring on your own. Riding with the fellas can be hard work and competitive.
