I missed the boat on the first thread and really needed to get this off my chest. Apologies to original op.

I resent my dad for not dying instead of my mother. I absolutely adored her and now just feel negatively towards my father for being the one I'm left with. All of my other siblings/wider family adore him so I have never told anyone this irl, not even my DP.
I know it's disgusting but I'm hoping once my loss is not as fresh I will start to feel differently.

I don't like my nephew.

The family used to live a few hours away, now they're only 5 minutes away but I wish they were still much further.

He keeps asking for a sleepover and Dsis has offered dd a sleepover at theirs too. I've avoided it so far but can't keep it up forever.

(I don't like his behaviour and dd's is worse around him so not happy for her to go their either.)

I have no friends and I know why.
It's because I'm weird and somewhat overshare my life.
Especially after a few drinks.

I use to drink everyday when the kids went to school.
I'd drink,get drunk and go to bed.
Set my alarm shower and be sober before they got home.

I would love to connect with a lovely lady I met nearly 40yrs ago we connected from the word go and had 2 wonderful meetings. All that I can recall is that the wonderful lady was a teacher from the Herts area and she was just superb in every way. I have been happily married for 30 plus years but the 2 occasions that we met were sensational.!!

Couldn’t quote from previous thread but I did clean the toilet with my then husband’s toothbrush. And no, I’ve never regretted it.

I did this to my ex, proper deep clean under the rim ! he so deserved it , the only person who knows is my husband - he knew my ex and agreed !
I have no regrets either , he deserved much worse .

NC.

I used to be a prostitute. One of my clients abused me and at least several other women I know of. He wasn't the only one, but unlike (most of) the others, I found out his full name, address, place of work (a school about 10 mins walk from where I live), and place where he regularly practices his hobby.

For over 2 years I have done nothing with this info. I wrote a letter to send to his place of work, but got paranoid I would somehow be reported to police and found out (my fingerprints are on police database). I rang to make an anonymous crimestoppers report, but due to my history I do not feel safe making a concrete report. I also know from experience it would be unlikely to go anywhere, and he would probably take out his anger on more women and girls.

My dh thinks I should leave it as it is me holding on to the past. I don't want to jeopardise the livelihood of my own children or let my past life meet my present. However I think he deserves a comeuppance, even if it's just being publicly shamed. I don't have the bottle to flyer his workplace or building just yet, but I think about it far too much.

I also don't think prostitutes are seen as credible victims.

ParanoidGynodroid · 31/07/2022 17:21

@nevernevermind I'm sorry to read about your experience.
I know in your situation I'd be tempted to get in touch with the fucker somehow -so he can't trace you - and let him know you know where and who he is, and are one click away from telling of your experience.
Hopefully that will terrify him, and possibly deter him from abusing other women.

@NC126634 replying to your post on the first thread (am still working my way through it and I’ll forget by the time I’ve read it all!) were you both single when you had the shit sex? As in, is that what the risk was, or do you mean not worth the risk of work colleagues finding out?

Hawkins001 · 01/08/2022 19:59

As much as I love my role, if I had between £250,000-500,000
Then id retire and focus on my ebay business and photography, hobby.

Occasionally I produce made up missing pet posters and pin them around the neighborhood. Said pets are usually of the exotic variety, snakes, barberry monkeys, lynx cats, Komodo dragons etc, they always create a stir on the nextdoor app. Most people see them for the bit of fun that they are but there are several folk who get really angry and have contacted the RSPCA and police over the irresponsible people keeping dangerous pets. Under a different username I sometimes post 'sightings' just to stir the pot. I use the mobile number of someone I really dislike on the posters.

We've had a few issues with our neighbours over the years, they are very helpful in pointing out any trees that need trimming, grass cutting, some paint that might be needed, don't like any talk/music (and this is low volume stuff!) after 8PM.

Every, and I do mean every Fri, they have sex. I know that because they turn on a backlight in the room and it's visible from our patio. It's obviously their routine, and it's always the same two options. He goes at it from behind, and finishes with a BJ; or it starts with a BJ and he finishes from behind. There is no sound, the show only has visuals. I've often use binoculars to take a closer look. If friends are around we'd often take a break from our chatting and all take a look. It's often the highlight of a visit to our house.

I'd have to go out there with your visitors and give them a very loud round of applause with lots of whooping and cheering
Hell I'd even spend the day before making some glittery scoring paddles ala Strictly

CruCru · 02/08/2022 14:10

I don’t much like my neighbour’s dog. Whenever I go into my garden it goes mad with rage. It’s better than it used to be but that’s not saying much.

I'm obsessed with sex and masturbation. I don't think of much else.

I'm a married woman (only got married for security for the both of us due to estranged families) and haven't had sex with my husband for over 4 years due to the fact he suffers with erectile disfunction.
He thinks I get my pleasure from the wand in my bedside cabinet when in reality I have 2 FWB - the first one is an ex colleague and has been going for 3 years and the second is a current colleague and is still in the early stages at 6 weeks!

I also inherited £200k 5 years ago and have wasted over £150k of it on absolutely nothing except a new car!

You know whenever you see a skateboarding park, there'll be a bunch of teens doing their stuff, and always one man of 35+ trying desperately to fit in. I just want to shoot him

eh in all my years I've yet to see this and I've seen many kids hanging out together skateboarding.

I live near a skateboard park, and there is a 30something man regularly there with the teenagers — who are extremely nice to him, it must be said. (My sense is that he’s getting back into it having skateboarded regularly in the past…)

Everyday I have several vivid, intrusive thoughts of horrific things happening. They usually involve my children and I am terrified of something happening to them.

Some examples from yesterday - I imagined a car plummeting into us as we walked to the shop, a drowning incident where I couldn't save my little one as she was trapped in the weeds. An incident where our car rolled over and the car set on fire and I couldn't get to my children in time. I imagine these scenarios in a terrifying level of detail.

I am constantly on the brink of a panic attack and in fight or flight mode. I try so hard to hide this from the little ones - and mostly I do. But earlier this year an alarm went off in an underground carpark we were in and I literally took the kids and ran. It was just a false alarm and when I got back in the car I had a full panic attack. I am so scared about my ability to handle things if something really did happen.

I'm going to touch wood now X 3 X 3.

@Pleasecreateausername
I used to have this. It is OCD. I know it doesn’t seem like the cliche of what OCD is but it is. It is bell to live with but there is very effective treatment in the form of SSRI medication like sertraline. Think of it like a little vitamin for your brain.

I put the lottery on in the hope that if I win I can leave my husband . He is kind, caring and a great dad but I often imagine how much happier I would be on my own

I believe so many marriages and ltrs would end if a lotto win came as the couple no longer need to stay together for financial reasons.

Oh for sure.

I got really jealous of one couple ( parents at school) , as they split up in what outwardly seems the best way possible.

Bloke has bought a house 20 mins from ex, kids shared, all amicable ( to outsiders).

Think that's the dream for loads of couples..a smooth move out not too far away so kids lives aren't disrupted too much, amicable enough , both financially independent to make it work.

Well, it's my dream anyway! As it is, not enough value in our property to have separate homes, so won't split until kids have left home

same here and I’m 42 🤣my daughter gets involved now too (she’s only 5, not sure if she will feel the same as a teenager 🙂)

My DHs elderly grandma asked me to help her change her will to leave far less money to her son (DH’s dad) purely because my MIL had been such a bitch to her. She left a much bigger wedge to DH (and me!!) and also his sister (who needed the money as she’d just left her awful husband due to DV) and a local charity got a great payday too. MIL got £8k and she was secretly fuming - although she had to pretend not to be. Her face when they read the will… honestly I still laugh thinking about it. She’d die if she knew I sorted it all out! She still wonders out loud why grandma chose that charity - it was a dogs home and I clearly remember her saying “I’d rather give my money to those bitches in that home rather than that bitch” 🤣🤣🤣 god rest her soul!
