Secret Confessions thread 2

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.

@Whynow2021 maybe she’s just keeping the peace. If her DB isn’t going to leave the woman then there will just be friction whenever PP saw them

I posted on the first thread but now have another one.
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been talking to a friends boyfriend (I’m single) it’s all very innocent and mainly about football but I can just feel it going further, he’s messaging me at very specific times, like when he’s at work or she’s out the house, he’s adding kisses and sending long messages that are always open to a reply. I don’t know how to play it to be honest.

Surely if you're a good friend, that should be quite obvious, so I suspect as you're asking you're not entirely wanting it to stop?

You should pull back initially, and hope he does the same without causing any awkwardness. If he doesn't take the hint, tell him you are not comfortable and you want it to stop, as your loyalty is to your friend.

You don't need to "play it" any way. Don't respond to flirtatious messages.

I thought this was a non judgemental post? I’m not looking for advice just posting my secret confession

I'm not judging you. I'm just saying there's nothing to "play" here. Assuming you don't wish to get involved with your friend's boyfriend, just don't respond to flirtatious messages. If you do, well, you know what to do and see you on the next thread.

I am a happily married mum of 2. My husband had a vasectomy after our second child, but I fell pregnant after I had extra marital sex with a yoga instructor during a 'wellness' weekend break with a friend. As far as my husband is concerned, it was a terrible mistake and we have put it behind us and no one knows.

The reality is that the yoga instructor flirted outrageously with me during a yoga session, which led to some time in a hot tub with a bottle of champagne and me pushing down the straps on my swimsuit to show him my tits. He then spent the next 24 hours properly fucking me in my 'wellness pod' and every single time he came it was inside. I knew I was fertile and I knew he could get me pregnant and I savored every minute of it.

I had never cheated on my husband before and it had not even occurred to me to do it until I got my tits out in the hot tub. From that moment not only did I know I would cheat, but that I would also probably get pregnant.

I confessed to my husband and then a few weeks later 'realised' I was pregnant. We had some very difficult conversations and even went to counselling which I went along with, but all the time I knew we wouldn't split up and also that I absolutely loved being pregnant by another man.

We are OK now, but when he holds my bump or sucks my big pregnant breasts, it turns me on so much to think that another man did that to me. I can never tell him that but I still enjoy it.

The yoga instructor has no idea that I am pregnant. I have not seen him or been in touch with him since. I have not cheated since and I do not plan to cheat again.

So, your husband doesn’t know the baby isn’t his?

Dexysmidnightstroller · 05/10/2022 17:00

I know it’s not a judgmental thread but your husband will presumably figure it out if he hasn’t already - or does he know?

Dweetfidilove · 05/10/2022 17:33

I think her husband is aware she's pregnant by another, just not how the day/night of passion happened, or that she now goes off into fantasy land when they DTD.

I'm not having any more kids because it's too much like hard work

@beezlebubnicky You are not alone!
I do it too and they all have different nationalities, dysfunctional personalities and their own unique voices!

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.

It sounds like you have ocd - Google it - Intrusive repetitive thoughts etc. go see your doctor for some support.

I come across as being very quiet but people don't know I'm tough as old boots. If people knew what I've been through they would run a mile.

I've been obsessively wanking over an actor since watching a new Netflix show.

He doesn't know.

He will find out at some point - and deserves to - so best start figuring out the best way of doing so.

(Ps not judging you for the fling - many of us have been there …)

Will you ever tell the child? They have a right to know.

They'll probably realise something is up when the third child turns out to be much more flexible than their siblings.

My MIL died.
I'm glad she is dead. It's a relief to know we will never have to visit her smelly house again.

Added bonus that I will no longer have to see DH brother and his wife ever ever again.
I did some pretend wiping of tears at the funeral when in fact my eye was itchy.

I can't wait for her house to be sold and get a nice chunk of money.

You do know that cannabis oil does not have THC in it, which is the substance that gets you high.

Same with CBD, that has THC removed as well, so I think that you are just getting the placebo effect

It does if you get it from the right people

I love picking/eating stuff on my body. Bogeys, dandruff (and husband’s dandruff), scabs, sleepy dust, bellybutton fluff, spot-pickings and cuticles 🙈When we watch TV I’ll just pick at his scalp….

Omg that's vile I can't stop laughing. Each to their own though. I applaud your honesty. You've made my night
