To want to shout 'It is blatantly obvious you're having an affair' to the couple opposite me on the train

[BoysofMelody]

And if I've figured it out within 20 minutes of sitting opposite you on a train, with all the furtive hand touching and stolen glances, your work colleagues will almost certainly know you're carrying on. Get better at being discrete or keep it in your pants.

On the plus side, I forgot to bring my book with me and watching this play out is terrific entertainment.

Oh yes! we've done the separate cars thing before too! met up then left in our own cars.

The one that didn't make me feel too great though was when we decided to park up at the village hall and get the bus into town as we fancied a drink.

We got a cab home and went to pick the car up in the morning. Lots of people were there on the Sunday morning setting up for some kind of village fete and saw me getting out of DH car - giving him a little peck and into my own car. I got some judgy looks. I tried to shout loudly 'see you at home' as I closed the door but I don't think anyone bought it! haha!

I was on a train a few years back now and overheard a conversation this guy was having on the phone about a person he was somehow connected with (couldn't work out what the connection was exactly, sounded professional) being arrested and about how the press were reporting it etc, it was blatantly obvious it was Rolf Harris. Couldn't believe he was having that conversation so publicly.

Someone mentioned ,eyes for each other' - this is the giveaway in a new relationship imv, couple look into each other's eyes rather than just at each other.
Watch actors on TV, if their eyes don't hold their lovers The love they are declaring doesn't ring true-sometimes deliberate, sometimes not and bad acting.

Definitely the kitkat clinches it.

It's lighthearted people! Your marriages are safe suspects posters are wondering why their loved ones have taken the train this morning

Ceto your just so fucking perfect aren't you ! I have my opinion and was notvattacking anyone

Why do you care is actually a question I asked ! And yes I did spell throes wrong . Excuse my dislexia for rearing its ugly head once again

Apologies op if I did come across as attacking . Was not intended

My husband and I would got you all gossiping before we moved in together! It was snatched weekends, lazy afternoons in parks and cheap hotel rooms!

I was in a car once with FIL and his work colleague who was driving us. He leant over and changed the gear

DingDongDenny Did I read that right, that your FIL changed the gear when his colleague was driving? How annoying for her!

Completely misses point of thread

Were they Clive Bixby and Juliana?

(Modern Family reference)

I never wear a wedding ring, dh always does. Maybe when we hold hands in public people assume i'm his mistress.

How did you KNOW they weren't a couple or even married?

I feel we need to know more details.

The Kitkat suggests more money than sense though

There's a couple at work blatantly having an affair. I'm silently judging them and have gone from really liking them to avoiding them when I can. She's single but he's married. They go out for 'a quick drink' regularly, lunch nearly everyday and she's has now moved into his office. She buys him little presents.

He tells his wife he's going out with his work colleagues and sometimes books hotels saying it's easier to stay the night near work than come home ... Obviously I haven't seen them actually have sex but it's too blatant with the shoulder touching etc.

He brings in lovely cakes made by his unwitting and devoted SAHM wife and often she makes his lunches, she is completely oblivious. I can't stand it but stay silent.

There's a couple who started to come into my local pub, a few years ago, on a weekday lunchtime occasionally. As PPs have said, it's the body language that's the giveaway rather than any PDAs. I was convinced they were either having an affair - or they were single, worked at the same company and didn't want their colleagues know about their new relationship. They're still going strong, but seemed to have settled into long-standing-coupledom these days!

discreet not discrete

Who called a meeting of the Outraged Arse Twitchers on this thread?

Today 09:48 Ceto

Cuckingfunt, since you're attacking someone else I reckon this is justifiable. It's throes, not throws. And you don't need question marks unless you're asking a question.

Did you miss "discrete" instead of discreet?
Lol

Or perhaps they are actually a long term married couple who are pepping up their marriage with a bit of role playing, as bored adulterous office workers.

Next week, they'll play doggers in the car park of an industrial estate.

Sometimes dh and I pretend we are not boring married people with children...

Re. the wedding rings marks: BOTH of them have wedding rings in for repair? What a coincidence!

But why pretend that you are not boring married with children? You both obviously think you are boring, married and have children. There is no escape to the past.

Erm because being exciting and unfettered by the responsibilities of being parents is more fun?!

Do people like being boring?

You both obviously think you are boring, married and have children. I don't just think it. We are married, we do have children (two of them and still little enough to be very needy and very dependent) and we are boring as life is very curtailed by responsibility compared to those heady days of being single when we could just please ourselves.

How did you KNOW they weren't a couple or even married?

Him wedding ring
Her No wedding ring

Both very tactile.

Clearly work in the same place.

I concede, they may be married to one anothervand work in the same office and she might have decided not to wear a ring (despite wearing other rings, so no metal allergy) and their relationship might be particularly intense and passionate, even when on work time, but I would suggest the principle of Occam's razor applies here and the most likely is that they're colleagues having an affair.

It is funny how people at work having affairs never think anyone has twigged, when it is as plain as the nose on their face.

BraveBear I love your term of 'outraged arse twitchers' - I shall be using it before too long, I imagine.
