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 love DH but I'm also in love/lust with someone I bump into every 3 years or so. I pine for that bloody man, and have daydreams about us getting together in the old folks home after our partners have passed away, or us surviving some Lost kind of disaster scenario together with our kids. Not proud. Blush Sad

I'm here on my own (with the dogs) whilst DH has taken the girls to our holiday home in Sweden for Easter. I was supposed to go, but fancied a bit of time on my own after a really fraught few months, so I lied and said that I had too much work to do. I don't. However, as my HOD is my DH's friend I had to bring him into the lie to cover my back which he did because he's a good bloke and knows that I've been massively stressed.

However, that's not the end of it. I'm now sitting at home on my own with the dogs and doing nothing at all except for some online stalking of my celebrity crush and watching his programmes and generally fantasising about how to meet him....and other naughtier things 😍ShockBlush

Teenage ,I know,I can hardly belive it either..it was 32 years ago,and I still think about what I put him through..

Owllady · 12/04/2017 19:45

It wasn't the dog. It never is the dog.

MaximaDeWit · 12/04/2017 19:50

I ate half a tub of salted caramel ice-cream this afternoon.

I did this exact thing while DS was napping. I even closed the curtains out of shame

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/04/2017 19:52

OP, you are a mere girl, ten years, both single !
It doesn't have to amount to a long term relationship, go have your self some fun, there is a chance he feels the same ! 😍

Julia001 · 12/04/2017 19:53

Can someone please tell me what fanny gallops are :-) dirty wenches!!

minihobbit · 12/04/2017 19:53

I've had a major obsession with a former colleague for the last four years. I'm 37 and he's 29. He's single and I'm married (I know). We messaged on and off after I left the same organisation 2 years ago. Always just banter with an undercurrent but recently escalated to more overt and then went horribly wrong. Not proud.

chocolateworshipper · 12/04/2017 19:56

Chris Hemsworth in Thor did nothing for me.

In Ghostbusters 3, however, I was absolutely drooling (quietly so DH wouldn't see).

CosmoKlit · 12/04/2017 19:58

Decided I was happily single.
Joined Fetlife for some no shame friendships with people into likeminded kink.
Chatted to a guy, promising myself I was not going to have another LTR.
Falling for him fast.

TeenageCentaurMortificado · 12/04/2017 19:58

Ooh I hear you chocolate. There is something about a hot geek outing myself a bit more

I'm away for work and told DH I was ordering room service for dinner. I've actually eaten 4 kit Kats and a bag of skips.

I was head over heels in love with a boy who sat next to me in world history class, my senior year of high school (I live in the US). In retrospect, it's very clear that he had a crush on me as well. I was too insecure to even consider doing anything about it, and likely he was too shy as well. He was a fairly quiet Chinese-American boy, and I was shy, but we managed to speak to each every day and found we had many, many shared interests and shared personality quirks. In addition to being smart, interesting and funny, he was beautiful.

After graduation his parents sent him to University in Hong Kong. I never saw nor heard from him again...this was pre email and cell. I don't think we ever exchanged home numbers or addresses.

I'm 41 years old. I still think of him often, and attempt to find him online every other month or so, just to see. It's kind of silly, but I've always felt that I met and missed my soul mate. I've been married and divorced, I've dated lots of people. But I've never forgotten him.

Tiggerific1984 · 12/04/2017 20:16

I was married. Went to work away from home for 2 weeks. Met someone there and came home and left my husband. I'd been with my husband since I was 13. I was 29 then. So 16 years thrown away for a man I knew 10 days.

However 2 and a half years later we live together with a baby and I'm divorced. And he is in the process of getting divorced.

SirVixofVixHall · 12/04/2017 20:19

Oh panda that is sad! I hope you find him again. No schoolfriends he might be in touch with?

SirVixofVixHall · 12/04/2017 20:19

OP - ask him out!!

TeenageCentaurMortificado · 12/04/2017 20:20

Noooooooooooo! Blush Blush

I'm 40 my partner is 30 when we met he was 21 Shock and we worked together. Spent the first 6 months telling him it could only ever be a fling as I had a 6 year old son and didn't want anymore kids. Fast forward 9 years and we have two kids together Smile...just saying.

CosmoKlit · 12/04/2017 20:24

Panda Stalk mode been activated? Have you checked linkedin, whitepages, facebook, twitter, strava, instagram etc.

[I am appalling aren't I, but I feel a primal stalk is justified in this scenario]

Onetraumaatatimeplease · 12/04/2017 20:29

On Monday I carefully unboxed my Easter egg, and ate the chocolates. Then carefully resealed it. On Tuesday I carefully unboxed my Easter egg, and ate half the egg. Then carefully resealed it. Cleverly leaving the half I didn't eat in the plastic shell. The perfect crime. But tonight. Tonight, I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do. Start on the kids? Grin

StarUtopia · 12/04/2017 20:30

I'm 43, husband is 29...met him when I was 36..you do the maths!

Married, happily and two fabulous kids.

10 yr gap is nothing! Just saying OP

CosmoKlit · 12/04/2017 20:32

onetrauma Start on the kids and the claim it must have been a chocolate-making malfunction?

DoubleNegativePanda · 12/04/2017 20:41

Cosmo I typically look all over facebook, twitter, classmates.com, whitepages. Somehow I never thought of instagram or linkedin. What is Strava?

I suppose it is stalk mode Grin I just always figure if nothing else, we'd be great friends.

Wellitwouldbenice · 12/04/2017 20:43

Mollie85 - that's so sweet! Are you in love with him??

TeenageCentaurMortificado · 12/04/2017 20:43

Oh dear, stop making it all so like...um... real!
It's not happening people. It's a secret confession Blush
