Tell me some juicy gossip

[OhhBetty]

I'm bored and ds is in bed. Since an anonymous forum

One of my friends has been cheating on her fiancé with lots of different men for years. Someone has started leaving notes on his car telling him so. She's intercepted them all so far.

I keep writing out a piece of gossip and deleting it.

The specifics are TOO specific even after anonymising and would be identifiable to anyone who knew them - it's not something that happens to many. I'm still amazed it didn't make the papers.

PM me if you're bovvered

Slept with exP best friend a few times. Not a recent ex. He was emotionally abusive and would disappear on nights out for days. We were on and off for years, Have a dc. Happened when we were split up. Never when we were together

My uncle by marriage is serving a life sentence in Scotland for murdering his upstairs neighbour.

Also someone I work with is a Coke head, we work with children. Someone from Senior Management (rest of SLT also know) let slip while she was drunk. I questioned whether she should be working with children Senior Manager shrugged.

My friend is having an affair with a married man from work. Not that unusual and there are no children involved thank god. What really bothers me is that the wife works away a lot and when she's gone, my friend practically moves into their house. She sleeps in their bed, pets their dog and goes on nice trips out to National Trust properties with the husband on a weekend. It seems like an extra insult to me, she uses the wife's shampoo, hairdryer and coffee mug, all surrounded by their wedding and holiday photos on the walls, it's quite disturbing. I'd love to know what his neighbours think!

I know 4 people who've cheated on their wives (armed forces for you), one of them told me before I became good friends with his wife, I now see her more than him as we've become good friends. It irks me every time I see her.

I worked w a couple who were so sweet, he seemed to really admire her, he was so considerate of her, you'd see them and think "love is real!" Then a coworker told me the man had been pm-ing a female coworker saying he "couldn't stop thinking about" her & asking if he had a chance with her. Female coworker knocked him back as she's happily married, not attracted to devious make coworker etc. Just felt so badly for his wife who still thinks he's devoted hubby. Makes me sad, too, as I need to see happy couples to maintain faith that it's possible. Not much shocks me, but that shocked me as I thought they were solid.

I know a woman who told her husband that her botched abortion (had a massive bleed and lost the remnants of the pregnancy) was a miscarriage. He was devastated.

It wasn't her husband's baby. It was her bosses...

Can we all stop shagging people we aren't supposed to be shagging please? It's proper doin me head in.

Thank you.

Very much enjoying this thread - makes me feel normal (well apart from the drug growing relatives)... Once read some statistic that 50% of kids don't know their biological Dad, which is making a lot of sense after this thread

One of my cousins is gay. He's never come out to the family, but my DB is friends with someone who was at school with him and confirms that everyone else knows. He has a Facebook profile but never accepts requests from family members. Thing is no one would give two hoots if he did come out to us, I don't know why he's hiding who he really is?

No mud I think I know who you are talking about. Funny thing is away from MN everyone says and believes the same thing. It's just here..

Oh and apprently on a very popular Saturday night entertainment show, there have been far more affairs between participants and the person they have been assigned to work with than the media have picked up on.

There is a family rumour that my BIL is a result of an affair my MIL had with a colleague. The rumour was started by my FIL when he was drunk and said that BIL was not his, but the result of an affair. I don't think BIL knows this. BIL would be devastated. He is a conservative Christian who obviously enjoys his position as the eldest sibling.

A well known, and much deriled conspiracy theorist regularly donates large cash sums to his local food bank but refuses any publicity. Lovely person.

As it's my birthday soon, my DP has announced that later today he's going to wrap my presents in front of me, as he always does! Unfortunately for me, I won't know what they are, because despite my protests, he'll almost certainly blindfold me; I won't be able to seeeeee, it's not fair!!!

Actually I love this ritual, it's a staple of our year. Even though my eyes are covered, I can still talk and try to persuade him to divulge what he's got me. But last year he got the order wrong, and very nearly brought all the non-wrapped presents in while I could still see! I closed my eyes and reminded him. But this year I won't do so, and find out if I do get to glimpse them early!

I have a friend who "trapped" her partner by "accidentally" falling pregnant. They went on to have 3 more children. They have had many ups and downs, but are still together, some 16 years on. I really do wonder how she makes it work and doesn't carry the guilt that her eldest was born into a big lie. It was tragic at the time, seeing her so desperate to keep him and going to any lengths- including falling out with her family, losing her job and lots of friends deserting her. If social media was around, he'd have found out for sure at the time.

All these women that are so called 'trapping' men by falling pregnant, am I really naive- I really don't know how you'd do this? Surely if an adult male has sex with a woman, he knows that there's a chance she might fall pregnant?
If he makes sure she's on the pill then he'll know she's lying if she 'falls' pregnant so is that a trap really?

I am so place marking!!!! Best thread on mumsnet- hands down!

Runny, guessing its the popular dancing show on BBC one? I wouldn't know personally , but there are always stories and all sorts hinted at in the papers. I can imagine all those skimpy outfits and men bearing their manly chests is a turn on for lots of the contestants!
affairs have been going on for years, we had a couple where I used to work who used to sneak up to the top floor first aid room that had a small bed in it! it didn't last. long time ago now but the whole place was a hotbed of affairs and drama. I suppose social media and phones have made finding out things a bit easier, when you had to go to a phone box it was probably harder to keep it going or get found out.

bumblecat no because the pill isn't 100% and they knew that they're girlfriend at the time was supposed to be on the pill and that they hadn't fell pregnant with past partners,so they thought they're girlfriends wouldn't fall pregnant,the one's that were using condoms as well presumed that the condoms had been faulty or that they hadn't made sure they were on well enough.

It is a really shitty thing to do to someone and it hasn't ended happily for any of them.

BIL is gay and hangs out in a lot of trendy London gay clubs. He tells me that a very famous Indian movie star is always picking up guys at the club. Said star has been married for more than 20 years. I saw a few photos of the star on BIL's phone.

Formidable- Robbie williams?

A work colleague has had a gastric band and lost over 10 stone in a year. She's spent the last year telling everyone what they eat is killing them, posting constant FB updates on her healthy diet and exercise regime and accepting the constant stream of comments about her being inspirational with a gracious 'thank you, you can do it if I can' etc.

She's constantly passing comment on other peoples' weight, commenting on their food and making 'should you really be eating that' comments. I'm the only one who knows at work and will obviously keep the info to myself but she's getting on everyone's nerves now. I see no problem with her having a band fitted and she doesn't need to tell anyone about it, but bitching about others weight now is not on.
