NC for this one.

I am happily married with a DS aged 4. He has special needs and has people working with him to help support him.

One of his workers is amazing with DS, but I find myself thinking about him a lot and I go all funny and act really stupid around him. I have not had this since meeting DH. I actually think I'm falling for him.

I haven't and don't plan on doing anything about it. For many reasons:

  1. he's working with my son and that would ruin that lovely relationship
  2. I actually think he's gay,
  3. I love my DH and would never hurt him
  4. he isn't my usual 'type' at all so I can't understand why I'm falling for him but I guess there's just no reason for it...

What strange and inappropriate crushes have you had? How do I snap myself out of this?

Help!

Richard Attenborough would totally get it

David Bowie and Eminem. I saw both in concert, which helps!

ConciseandNice · 07/11/2018 11:38

I have a terrible penchant (and a severe one) for various Serbian war criminals. Oh dear God. I’ve never admitted that before.

shiveringtimber · 07/11/2018 11:39

If someone had said Trump, I would've puked over my keyboard!

Sorry, AmIFalling. It's taken a rather unexpected turn.

Here's a delicious picture of Damian Lewis playing Henry VIII to sweeten the mood.

And I should not be laughing but 'I'm not sharing my Nazi' and 'I have a terrible penchant for various Serbian war criminals' has had me snorting at my desk.

anitagreen · 07/11/2018 11:42

@MissionItsPossible I used to fancy him too I have no idea why.

AmIFalling · 07/11/2018 11:43

@ToddlerIs2 I think you've hit the nail on the head. Men being nice and amazing with kids just makes me want to offer up my hind quarters on the spot.

I like dom littlewood the tiny shouty man who gets irate on others behalf when they've been scammed etc on bbc1 😍😍😍. Also would fancy the arse of Tony from Spandau ballet

ConciseandNice · 07/11/2018 11:50

It’s all rather amusing that Iconic Nazis and Serbian war criminals are more attractive than The Trump.

toherdoor · 07/11/2018 11:51

This thread 😂😂😂 I'm crying I'm laughing so hard.

Mine is Zac Efron. I know he's famous so not inappropriate in a sense that I know him, but he's so young that I feel awkward about it. I pretty much shove my husband out the room when he pops up in a movie.

oopslateagain · 07/11/2018 11:52

I had a massive crush on Simon le Bon, but only in the video from Wild Boys. Not when he was being all pouty and with perfectly coiffed hair, but dirty and strapped to a big wheel being dunked, omg yes.

Not sure if it counts as a crush but I used to masturbate to ABBA's Mamma Mia Blush, in my defence I was about eight at the time. Made it a tad awkward when the film came out...

AmIFalling · 07/11/2018 11:55

I think 'I used to masturbate to mamma mia' has to win

Before I got with my partner there was a friend I thought I had a crush on. He wasn't interested and I told myself I didn't actually like him that way.
Married with a child, very happily and still friends with this guy.

But I do occasionally wonder what if. We can happily hang out just the two of us, no sexual tension of anything so no danger. But there's still a sort of me that would if DH wasn't around, and in my more morbid moments I contemplate what life would be like with him.

ThrownMuse · 07/11/2018 12:02

I agree, Falling.

Anything to take the heat off fancying a Nazi.

blueandgreendots · 07/11/2018 12:11

anitagreen My best pal and I as teens went through a period of being obsessed with Tony Hadley, we met him after a gig and even went to the Spandau Ballet high court trial in London just to see him (oh the shame). He doesn't do it for me now though, but he was totally lush in the video for Gold.

Totally agree with Jeff Goldblum.

Late 1970's Michael Palin ("alms for an ex leper" in Life of Brian when he's semi naked) oh yes

halfwitpicker · 07/11/2018 12:17

I have 2 crushes at the moment. Both at work.

Crush 1:
Gorgeous blue eyes, beard, snappy dresser, laughs a lot. He's around 50. He had a purple sweater on yesterday, I almost hit the deck. I have an inkling that he may be gay (because he dresses so well) but he has kids and smiles at me a lot so who knows

Crush 2: Dark brown eyes, very sophisticated, aloof, very self confident to the point of arrogance (which I love) dresses well but not as well as crush 1. He's around 50 too. If he asked me to jump I'd ask how high.

BusterTheBulldog · 07/11/2018 12:24

My one is around 50 too halfwit, I used to intensely dislike him as I thought he was arrogant, and then a few weeks ago BOOM I realised I massively fancied him. Terrible online stalking has been going on and I’ve changed my running route to go past his house Blush shameful.

In reality, It would never work. In head fantasy, it all goes on!

halfwitpicker · 07/11/2018 12:27

There's some bloody chestnuts on here!

Mamma Mia 😉

halfwitpicker · 07/11/2018 12:28

It's hard work isn't it, buster

He's on holiday this week so not in the office, I'm almost pining Blush

oopslateagain · 07/11/2018 12:30

halfwit Crush 2 sounds a bit like Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones Diary...

Gudgyx · 07/11/2018 12:42

My boss. Absolutely ridiculous, have known him years before he was my boss. It’s just recently I’ve become really attracted to him. Luckily I don’t see him much but when I do, the sexual tension is so strong neither of us can concentrate on actually working. Nothing will ever happen, we’re both happily married and would lose our jobs, but really confused as to where this attraction has come from. It will pass!

@anitagreen

It was down to Jeremy Iron’s sexy voice he lent to the role, surely? I think that’s what it was for me! I still come over all funny when I hear “Simba, Simba” and don’t get me started on when he sings ‘Be Prepared’ Blush

MissionItsPossible · 07/11/2018 18:36

And plus, everyone loves a baddie really Wink

Spankyoumuchly · 07/11/2018 18:45

Mine is an old one from about 20 years ago. I was with dh, but not married, no dcs. See how guilty I feel about it I'm diminishing my fault. It was one of the children I used to teach, father. He looked just like an actor I think is scrummy. I was still blushing at the thought of how good looking he was when I got home after parents evening. Fortunately dh had no reason to be upset and used to tease me about it.
