Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

[MeadowL]

Does it bother you? I have a semi famous DH, he gets paid to gig and go on podcasts etc if we go out locally he does get asked for selfies so we tend to go away for weekends as a family.

I do find it slightly annoying but I guess it pays the bills 💃

I went on a date with a singer from a band that were pretty well known back in the day.

There was no second date as he was a prize prat and talked about himself and his has-been days the whole time. And he was about 10 years older than he claimed, although it was partly my fault for not checking that out first.

It was so bad that every now and then during his speaking (which was non stop) he'd sing the line out 🤣. Talk about drying up a fanny instantly.

I deleted his number as I got back into my car to go home.

Not my DH, but one of my extended family was really famous actor in the 90s. He has worked since but nothing so main character/high profile, eh he was in GOT but a small part only. He gets recognised very occasionally, but hasn’t really worked since, struggled a lot with mental health and addiction, etc. Fame is no guarantee of anything.

I've always thought the very famous who are unassuming are the ones who are in it for the craft and not the fame, and fame is just a consequence.

I wish posters doubting my claims to be Camilla would stop being so rude and judgey.I could have you locked up in the tower.

Anyway, I once wrote into Magpie and got a badge “Eight for a wish” I think it was.

A singer from a still famous band asked me out in the 90s but I said no because I didnt find him remotely attractive.

I am lol at SHABBA 😂

Friend of ours will be standing next election. I'm astounded that he'd want to put himself through all this tbh. His wife is being very stoic about it but must be bricking it. He has a good chance of winning too.
Gulp.. and your story is presumably from a few years ago too, when things weren't apparently as bad. Awful. Bet you're glad your DH left politics!

😂

You can’t be, I am Camilla and my husband is the King of Engerland

Horrendous varied from hate on social media through to rubbish being dumped in our garden, threats of violence, having to carry attack alarms, emergency plans with school for the children's safety. Having to install CCTV on the house and twice being told by special branch to leave our home for days for safety

This is awful. There was an article in the paper recently about MPs not wanting to do the job any more due to death threats and harassment of their families. I dont blame them.

Same! I‘M still tempted to shout ‘bogies!’ In quiet places. Dick and Dom are (ironically) DJs now!!!

Oh yes!

My aunt was famous in 70s/80s as a model. But not like Jerry Jagger or anything. She was best mates with Robert Palmer (got photo of them) at 15 though and on tv in adverts a lot. I’ve got a Sunday paper magazine where she’s in a photo shoot with another model and Freddie Mercury. I don’t know which adverts but my stepmum said she’d seen her on tv, this was in 80s. But her DH was nasty and 15 years older than her and she now lives in Paris as it’s away from him but she was under police protection when they divorced. I wouldn’t say she’s famous though.

Do you live in Norwich?

Your husband is a legend 😂 (perhaps not for all the right reasons though 😅)

If it makes you feel any better OP I know people who know Fabio and grooverider (proper south London DJs). They’re completely normal. Locally to me live members of Soul to Soul, seen them in bars and chatted to them and you’d only know because they still have the high locs/dreads hairstyles. Very chilled guys.

I think this might be it - https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/mumsnet_classics/1498923-Shouting-at-me-in-the-supermarket

Erm actually, I am 👑

Yes it's extremely tiresome having other women fawn all over him.

My DH is famous amongst the elderly w. here we live. He spends ages talking to the old blokes.

Now yout DH sound pretty special being so famous. Is he the guy that does the school disco?

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for that thread to re-read for months.

Over 35 years ago I met a guy at work. He had an ordinary, lowest grade admin job as he was starting out in this country. Talking to him one day (he was very educated with degrees from Nigeria and though he had an accent his English was cleary and that of an educated person)) he said, "did you know that I'm the 96th most well known person in Nigeria."? I looked at him and thought, WTH, '96th.... and also thought, WTH if he said he was the 2nd or 3rd I could understand that. All I said is 'ok' and its always stuck in my mind

He left soon after to run his own "business" he was a nice, polite and political man.

We are not famous and my OH was well known when they was in the papers years ago, local papers but that is about it

My husband was on Wide Awake Club in the 80's. He won a pillow case full of prizes. It does bother me as I am still jealous.

😂😂😂

My DH won £1,000 in a radio competition a couple of years ago. We had our picture posted on their FB page. We've tried not to let the money change us, buying just the one helicopter.

A picture I drew in primary school was shown on a local TV show, my brothers friends parents rang to say well done..that was the height of it. I imagine everyone else who saw it was far too jealous to say anything to me.., I tell my children time to time of it and they quite rightly are amazed and very proud of me (aged 3 and 4).
