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!

The worst is I could make a ridiculous fool of myself and everyone would know and I work there Grin

There's definitely better chances of happy endings on here. Like Mollie for one!

Teenage - might a work social be the way forward?

involving alcohol Grin

Tigger Name change by deed poll as a huge hint?

73kittycat73 · 12/04/2017 21:14

Passthesalt1 do you actually like your DH? Grin

I ride him like Seabiscuit.

Lol Mary! Grin

ForTheSakeOfFuck · 12/04/2017 21:16

Aaaawww... I want to join in but mine are laaaaaaaame. E.g.

I have sat and drunk entire cans of condensed milk because I just love the stuff. As a teen I used to stir spoonfuls of sugar into single cream and just eat it. Oh my god, that is like crack for the tastebuds.

I've eaten DCs' chocolate (who hasn't) and sometimes I haven't even replaced it (okay that makes me a bit shit).

I do not find attractive the people that everyone else seems to find attractive, e.g. Q in Skyfall, whatever his name is? Oh dear lord. What. A. Hottie. The guy who plays Bond? Blurgh.

I once got change for £20 when I'd spent £10 at a little coffee stall but because the guy was so fucking rude I didn't say anything. But then, because I'm a wiener, I couldn't enjoy my coffee because it tasted of guilt and spite. Didn't even have the courage of my convictions. Sad

Waterlemon · 12/04/2017 21:17

I'm a very happily married mum to 2 young dc,

but I felt the exact same as you over the (very much younger) sales assistant in the bathroom shop! He was bloody gorgeous and for a moment I completly forgot that I was a happily married women despite DH sitting next to me and 2 bored kids fidgeting on our laps! I felt like a school kid!

When we walked out the shop DH said "are you ok? You were a bit quiet in there" and then "he was a lovely bloke wasn't he?" The only response I could manage was a slight nod ha ha!

Op the age gap would not be an issue for me, but I wonder if the reality wouldn't be half as good as the dream?

Oogle · 12/04/2017 21:18

I have a crush on one of my friends. He's 25 years older than me. I know he fancies me too. We're both married and both really like each other's partners. We socialise as a foursome a lot, and as part of a wider group a lot. Nothing will happen.

But when he gives me "that" look, it takes my breath away. If we were single, I totally would go there, even with the massive age gap.

Tiggerific1984 · 12/04/2017 21:22

I asked my ex husband. No asking again lol.

I'm also in the process of changing everything back to my maiden name so don't want the ball ache of changing it all again if it's not official.

He's not divorced yet anyways. Need to wait a year for his.

AprilLudgateDwyer · 12/04/2017 21:25

I only agreed to go out with my dh originally because he was taller than me. I didn't even like him that much to begin with. Then I found out he earned loads of money and decided to keep going out with him.

Really bad but when I got to know him I knew he was the one and now we're skint and I still adore him!

TeenageCentaurMortificado · 12/04/2017 21:26

Keep em coming, I love alll these Grin

"But I would like to have the same surname as my daughter as I was told I couldn't have children and she's here now. My wee miracle and she's not even got the same name as me.
Bookma"

Why can't you just legally change your name to hers?

FinallyDebtFree · 12/04/2017 21:30

I want to do bad things to my boss...he's a proper silver fox and bloody gorgeous. We're both married and absolutely nothing would happen but my god when he has to look over my shoulder at my screen...fanny gallops don't even cover it Blush

We're going on a conference for work soon and he's been talking about going for a few beers...don't really fancy having a beer with him as I'm a lightweight and would probably try to lick him or something Grin

Ava5 · 12/04/2017 21:30

I'm a bit confused, but why didn't you assign your daughter your surname at birth if you're not married to the father?

MrsPresley · 12/04/2017 21:32

I totally fancy the pants off Gaston in the new Beauty and the Beast film...I can't be the only though, can I?

clumsyduck · 12/04/2017 21:32

Nothing to exciting here I couldn't possibly share Wink
But I sometimes say I'm going upstairs to tidy the bedroom and lay on the bed and read/MN the sound of the first foot hitting the bottom stair and I'm up pretending to tidy normally huffing about how Iv "not stopped all bloody day " Grin

RedSuitcase · 12/04/2017 21:33

I orchestrated an elaborate "meet cute" with the guy I'm now dating, because I fancied him massively and was anxious about a first date.
He now massively fancies me (yay!) but I feel a little bit of a psycho for planning our meet... Confused

Gileswithachainsaw · 12/04/2017 21:33

I love dp but I can't shake the feeling there's someone out there I should have met but haven't yet.its overwhelming sonetimes.im not even talking about someone in a romantic way just a person who should be in my life but isn't.

I think about sex with my ex alot. I don't even like him thanks to mn i can look back and see him for the lying cheating gas lighting creep he was. But the sex.....

I don't know how to get my brain back. I'm losing it.

Cherrysoup · 12/04/2017 21:34

I have a crush on a character in book. I think about him a lot and always look for someone who looks like I think he should look when I'm out. I saw someone who fit the look on TV last week. It took my breath away. I'm very sad, I know.

thecolonelbumminganugget · 12/04/2017 21:34

I was STUUUUUIPIDLY in love with a younger guy I used to work with, like you I say sat at my desk just looking at at him a thinking... I JUST WANT TO LICK YOU, YOU GORGEOUS LUMP OF MAN FLUFF. He had the sexiest bum ever, I couldn't get any work done for finding reasons to walk past him and stare at it whilst he stood at the photocopier.

14 weeks today will be our wedding day!

I lick him lots now (he hates it) Grin

My confession? I failed a set of exams that my boss assumed I passed. In my defence she never actually asked

LadyOfTheCanyon · 12/04/2017 21:34

I had an affair 15 years ago with a man I totally fell for. I called it off as it was just going to end in tears. I've had a few partners since then and been with DP for 9 years. My confession is that we still meet occasionally - all very above board and only ever coffee or a quick drink but he just gets me and I can't bear the thought of not having him in my life as a friend even though no-one knows about it. I would absolutely hate it if DP was meeting up with an old flame, however platonic.

Tiggerific1984 · 12/04/2017 21:36

Because he's her dad and we are together just not married. She was always going to have his surname. Just didn't realise it would get to me as much.

Ava5 · 12/04/2017 21:37

"I orchestrated an elaborate "meet cute" with the guy I'm now dating, because I fancied him massively and was anxious about a first date.

Lol, like in Amelie?

TeenageCentaurMortificado · 12/04/2017 21:39

giles see I get what you mean by that. I had a complete psycho ex. Literally nothing good was ever going to come of that relationship and I'm glad he is out of my life and I never want to see or hear from him again.

BUT, the attraction to him was like a drug. When people talk about chemistry... that was it right there. I have never ever known anything like it. I miss that (and only that). Very weird looking back.

I attention seek, for some reason , I've never figured out why. It's like looking for someone to take care of me because I don't feel I can and I don't feel people care unless there's something wrong.. I do it on here and in r/l. Except in rl I'm harming my health.

More lighthearted - I love the smell of my dog's ears..
