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!

Aw Double, know what you mean, been with dh 31 years, most of them happily married, with 3dc, with only one what if. Met at college, in hindsight I think he liked me too, just no confidence back then, still wonder what he's doing now.

4point2children · 13/04/2017 18:06

So glad I'm not the only one who daydreams and naughty night dreams of my crush extremely u likely I'll ever meet him as his not real just a character in a tv series (Hawaii five-0) but ooh the dreams I can have he can rescue me anytime Grin

TeenageCentaurMortificado · 13/04/2017 18:08

I swear to god, anyone who actually knows me would figure me out within a nano section of searching my previous posts. I really should have name changed before this. IF YOU KNOW ME, say one word and there'll be trouble lol

Sod it.. anyway. It was in relation to an event we are both attending (with many many others), He was enquiringly about his sleeping arrangements!

When many many months ago before all of the embarrassing crushing going on id offered him my couch and he'd been happy with that...

I. Nearly. Died.

Anyway, no couch before anyone gets any ideas. All very innocent and totally above board!

Eating ds's chocolate bunny while dh cooks dinner downstairs...

impossible · 13/04/2017 18:13

... prompted by all the chocolate confessions. Feeling sick now

impossible · 13/04/2017 18:14

.. just as well no handsome young men around

RainbowAura · 13/04/2017 18:24

Damn this thread. Now I want to eat chocolate, drink wine, ride a young buck like Seabiscuit and microwave a hamster.

ohmygodyouguys · 13/04/2017 18:24

Have had huge crush on a guy at work pretty much since I first laid eyes on him, several years ago now! Nothing can happen as I am not available -may have sent him anonymous Valentine though-

PJBanana · 13/04/2017 18:25

OP I have just read this entire thread and I agree with PP.

Ask. Him. Out!

My DP used to give me fanny gallops when we worked together. We were both in relationships at the time Blush

Turns out I gave him willy gallops too.

Not too proud of it but we both ended our relationships to be together (I feel it's important to mention that we didn't physically cheat, just had a lot of conversations that led us to realise how much we liked each other). We've now been together, very happily, for 3.5 years.

So yeah, if you're both single that definitely makes things less complicated. Go for it!

Elenio · 13/04/2017 18:27

I'm 34 and my DP is ten years younger.

Just saying....Wink

MusicToMyEars800 · 13/04/2017 18:30

Turns out I gave him willy gallops too. Grin I must have a filthy imagination or comical, but I actually got an image of a willy galloping Grin

ohmygodyouguys · 13/04/2017 18:33

Ahh strikethrough fail! It somehow looks worse without a line through it! I do know he liked the card though, even though he never mentioned it at work. I'm such a stalker...

zeezeek · 13/04/2017 18:34

2point4 mine is a real person but luckily someone I will never meet.....so can fantasise away 😂

SherbrookeFosterer · 13/04/2017 18:36

"Fanny gallops"... now either that's a new one, or I just live too much of a sheltered life!

fedupslummymummy · 13/04/2017 18:43

PJBanana I agree. I too met my OH at work and there had been months of flirting prior to this (both single). He texted me while he was on leave to avoid rejection if I said no and told me he really liked me......fast forward.... we have now been together 5 years and are in the process of buying a house together. He is a great step Dad to my DC's and life is now great.
Seriously, life is too short, ASK HIM OUT!!!
What do you have to lose?? 😉

Cessj · 13/04/2017 18:48

easily, feel for you. That's more or less my situation and still not reconciled to it ,even after nearly twenty years...wish I could find the guts to cut and run, but at my age, starting over would be just too hard...

Ambermonkey · 13/04/2017 18:50

Finally! A place I can confess about something that I've never told anyone!!

A few years ago when me and my DH were trying for DC 2 I got it into my head I really wanted twins (I know, I know - daft and stupid idea!) so I, unbeknownst to DH started taking clomid that I got privately in the hope of hyperovulating...

Guess what? I got pregnant with twins who are now 8 months old! And he still doesn't know I kinda engineered it.

The guilt is awful but I love those babies with all my heart x

WooWooSister · 13/04/2017 18:51

Mummatron I wondered what had happened to the Singing Kettle people - I am so happy you found them for me ignores your crush on Kevin although I can remember thinking fondly of him when I used to go to TSK shows too

user1476641978 · 13/04/2017 18:55

I grew up with strict Catholic parents who had like minded friends. I used to play with one of their kids and my parents (Dad in particular) used to say what an amazing girl she was all the time. She was fine. They did it on purpose to make me feel shit and buck my ideas up (we were 10) so one day I'd had enough and picked up a 'dirty book' and put it in her bag whilst we were in a book shop. I never saw her again.

bigtapdancingpimp · 13/04/2017 18:55

ride a young buck like Seabiscuit Grin

My young buck kind of limped to his car on Sunday morning like a Grand National winner. There'd been a lot of galloping the previous evening and two laps of honour in the morning. Damn you sexy young hot colleague Blush

TeenageCentaurMortificado · 13/04/2017 18:57

It is NOT happening. I will not be doing this.

I will be working on getting the best. body. ever. in time for events in the summer

Completely unrelated.

I fell in love with Handsome Young Colleague 25 years ago when he let go of a door that hit me in the face and then almost decapitated himself trying to catch it, and me. He is in my bones, I still love him so much. There was a night of shenanigan (Singular). Afterwards he told me that he didn't love me. We decided to be best friends which was reasonably easy as we live two hundred miles apart. I couldn't bear to be without him. I married my very nice husband. I have the most ace, now almost grown up children. It's been a safe, good marriage.

The last declaration of unrequited love was 14 years ago. He told me again that my feelings for him outweigh his for me. We have continued to see each other once or twice a year. The unspoken rules are that we don't touch each other, save for a hug when we see each other. He's never been in a serious relationship, and it hurts me that being on his own is preferable to being with me.

Up until a fortnight ago we texted each other 10-15 times each day. I've now decided that it's time to move on. I haven't been in touch with him. He texts me occasionally asking how I am. What I'm doing etc. I can't answer him. I just can't bear it. He says jump, I ask how high. I can't do it any more. I can't tell him why. I don't want a third humiliation.
