To want to confess?

AIBU to want a secret confessions thread?

I'll start.

I am stupidly in luuuuuuuurrrvvvvvveeee with a man from work almost 10 years younger than me. He's so lovely, and funny and clever and handsome and I just want to lick him. We get on so well. He'd probably die of shame if he realised and on occasion I feel like I'm old enough to be his mum even though clearly I'm not lol.

But gahhhh, I get the fanny gallops....

NOONE CAN KNOW! I can do nothing about this. No telling on me!

Spill your secrets people!

I still regularly think about my exbf, whom I was with for 3 and a bit years I think. I've been married 7 was happily, now definitely less so but that's another story

I've also totally lost my sex drive. Make up loads of excuses!

I don't think that Byron Lee can be the right one as there isn't even a Hong Kong uni degree listed? I hope you find him though, that'd be so good.

These are addictive reading...

BigTap I am no cougar, by any stretch of the imagination, just minding my own business, having a good time dancing! All my companions are married, we are not out on the 'pull' at all. But hey, if you've got it Wink

Count me in! Grin

Suggest a quick drink after work. Get drunk, make a move, if he's not into it, blame the booze. If you have a few drinks together, you'll probably get a good idea how he feels.
As for confessions, not sure where to start...

DoubleNegativePanda apparently WeChat is very popular in China, might be worth a try in case he stayed in Hong Kong?

catswithbowties · 14/04/2017 00:38

Used to fancy the pants off this lad I met on an obscure music forum, we used to flirt openly as we were the two youngest on there and it became a bit of a joke amongst everyone. I liked him so much I snuck off on a train an hour and a half away to visit and told overprotective dad I was seeing a friend locally (bearing in mind I was about 16). We had a grand old time and I met his mates (nothing naughty!) and I visited again a second time.

We also did a secret valentine's on the forum that I generously agreed to run so I could engineer that we got each other but never fessed up.

Eventually life happened (I went to uni) and we fell out of touch but we're still friends on FB so sometimes I have a cheeky look. Still get a slight pang of nostalgia but he has not aged as well as I thought he would haha.

PS. I love this thread.

I stole a lipstick from Asda when I was 14 or so and got banned from every Asda store in the country, forever! I went back in with my mother to do the weekly shop the week after Grin

Shiraznowplease · 14/04/2017 03:14

I love my dd more than my ds. I hate that I do and hope he never knows

Gileswithachainsaw · 14/04/2017 08:06

Count me In!!!

Louise2092 · 14/04/2017 08:19

I met my fiance at work. There's a 10 year she gal (he's older, 36 this year). He was my manager when I first started at the company and I kind of had a little thing for him but was quite shy. It wasn't until I was moves into another team and he was the manager working at Easter (very quiet day) that we started talking properly and realised be lived 2 streets away from me. He added me in Facebook that night and we started talking every day... It progressed and now 2 years later we live together and are getting married. He has a son so I'd never thought of doing anything about my crush but he did it for me.

So... you never know 😉

Louise2092 · 14/04/2017 08:20

That should read 11 year age gap sorry

bibas · 14/04/2017 08:33

I do too!! Exactly like you but I don't work with him.

user1492110385 · 14/04/2017 09:08

I love this forum, theres some really good confessions.. Grin

IvyLeagueUnderTheSea · 14/04/2017 09:45

Can I confess to shameless place marking?

pollymere · 14/04/2017 10:07

OP, how do you know it's not mutual. I'm married to someone who I mortifingly sat down and told that I was in love with him, only for him to say he didn't feel the same way. Then he thought about it, realised it wasn't that crazy and we've been together twenty years.

I really don't think it is mutual.
He's just super nice and we get on very very well.

I think lots of the much younger and super attractive ladies adore him at work too.

I think that he may be a little bit shy about romancey type things so I am probably 'safe'. Iyswim.

Honestly I'm under no illusions Grin, I'm just enjoying the lusty thoughts and the handsome view.

I have weird sexy feelings about Robert the robot on Justin's house. That face/sound he does when he says cake? Total sploosh.... It's my secret shame.
I'm almost 30 years old, a mother and a wife 🙈
I also have this weird urge to kiss a colleague. I work V close with him often and don't have a crush as such, and would never actually do it.
No shame in your fanny gallops OP!

HereWeGoAgain1MoreTime · 14/04/2017 10:58

A few years ago I secretly smashed my daughters best friends phone with a hammer & threw her clothes into the bin for leading my daughter down the wrong (& very long) path..... and if I had the chance - yes, I would do it again - she was and still is a right skank Hmm

catswithbowties · 14/04/2017 11:03

Shiraz my mum has secretly told me I'm her favourite DD and it makes me feel a bit smug when my sister and I do the whole "No I'm the favourite child" thing when we're home for dinner 🙊

twattymctwatterson · 14/04/2017 11:29

Urgh. I've been stupidly in love with a married colleague for almost three years. He's a good friend and we talk a lot in and outside of work. At times we've strayed pretty close to emotional affair territory (awful I know) but nothing physical will ever happen between us. It's probably kept me mostly single during this time because I compare everyone to him

I used to shoplift bath pearls from the Body Shop as a teenager, I didn't even use them it was just for the thrill.

LowMaintenance101 · 14/04/2017 12:20

Racheyg - I feel your pain. I went online to complete application for my DD at about 9.30pm on deadline day I am guilty of being last minute in most areas. Our local authority decided that 10pm to midnight on national deadline day was a good time for planned website maintenance. So I have spent months wrangling with the local authority to have DD included in the first batch of applications and treat as on time. It has only just been sorted. But in those months I only told DH and two very lovely friends. I didn't confess to any family members and had absolutely no idea how I was going to style out the extra 2 weeks we would have had to have waited to find out which school we had been allocated.
The stress has been horrendous and I have felt like the worst mother in the entire world. Breaking down in tears at the drop of a hat. And even now it's all sorted I still feel very fragile. Can't shake the feeling of a constant undercurrent of anxiety. I am hoping that decision day will bring some relief.
