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 💃

One of my closest friend married a man who became very (internationally) famous and rich during their marriage.

As she says, before it happened they were just a normal couple with kids, living a nice life. They werent massively well off but were comfortable.

Then it took off, he turned into an asbolute arsehole who believed his own press, treated her and the kids as his entourage/photo props. In the end he physically attacked her and the divorce was horrendous. His second wife is all about the money and the fame and absolutely LOATHES my friend, because she was in the papers etc with him first. We heard a rumour that it is her that keeps taking my friend off his Wiki page!! Friend hated all the fame that came with being his wife, says she is welcome to it.

Still, the press arent interested in her anymore and the kids are happy that they are pretty much anonymous as the second wife pushes her DD's (not his kids) to front. Also she did alright financially in the divorce so they have security without her having to worry.

I am Spartacus!

Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

🤣🤣🤣

I have 3 claims to fame: I once met a bloke at a public library in Newcastle who said he was a roadie for Shakin' Stevens. He said he'd put me on the guest list at the door so I could get in free and stay for the after party. I was only 13 though and my mum wouldn't let me go.

In the 90s I worked with a very famous barrister who used to get drunk, tie his tie around his head and tell the ladies he was Prince Harry.

In the country where I live now, we have a tiny holiday home (shack). One of the neighbours is an extremely famous retired politician. He is obsessed with Smints.

If we are talking claims to fame, we have a lovely couple come in every week at ten past two, on the dot. Do their shopping, get their lottery and leave. They were roadies with Status Quo for donkeys years. I was a bit sceptical when I was told but did a bit of googling and sure enough, they were! You really wouldnt believe it to look at them, just goes to show!

Was this guy in Coronation St? Think I know who it may be if his initials are S.A?

Can't possibly say. But he's been missing saying he has to work on crime scenes recently.

Yes.

I'm Camilla Parker Bowles.

Wasn't Pirate radio in the 60's ?

the whole post just doesn't make sense to me.

Ha!

I assumed her name was Meadow L, or she lives in that location on whichever planet is her home.

The complexities of the English language. 😉

Wow he sounds like my former fiancee from moons back. In fact sounds like the same bloke.
What did he work as between jobs?.

David Tennant is so creepy

Funny how you come on Mumsnet, a site well-known for its overall message of empowering women, then desperately try to blag some clout solely because of your husband 😂

Benny Hill?

Her tight husband who needs gas money from the school lol

"I'm calling Pat Sharpe 😂😂😂 "

Pat

Pat presented his first daytime show for BBC Radio 1 back in 1982.

42 years ago. <<feels old >>

Years ago I had a boyfriend who was a famous musician. He was young, handsome, and charismatic.

Gorgeous young women would flirt with him, making it clear that they were sexually available to him. This made me feel constantly insecure and worried that one day he would sleep with, or indeed leave me for someone far more attractive than me.

There was no benefit to me whatsoever in having this handsome, famous boyfriend.

If you want to you can do what I did yesterday (waiting in line for a car park queue) which was googling British DJs, but in this case ones with year 6 DC. I thought OP said she’d had that thread deleted anyway?

Based on her other thread I sort of think I believe her. In fact I hope she’s not the F1 person I know (very glam, used to come to meetings in a black fedora) because she was really nice. Sounds as though someone says she’s riding on her DH’s coat tails. Not sure why but I’m getting vibes off OP like she goes a bit mad at parties or events where her DH is and gets pissed or indulges in other stuff.

No there was pirate radio in 90s. I know because my DB was into it for rave music and the fact they’d advertise raves on it. I was never a cheesy quaver! 🤣

The goddess

Shabba!

No, not him. I get the impression there are quite a lot like him. It’s a fairly common way for once successful actors and those who’ve been in the public eye more generally to end up. Fame doesn’t last a full career for many people. Even if they continue to be recognized, after a time people’s first thought will often become, ‘Crikey, he looks A LOT older than when he was on telly!!’ I must confess even I sometimes think this about my friend’s DH. If you were well-known in your 20s and 30s, people will always remember you that way and can end up doing a double-take when they catch a glimpse of you in your 50s.

Genuine question - what costs does he need the 11 year old children to cover? Surely he has all the DJ equipment already? And his own child’s school must be located within a few miles of your home? What does the £200 cover?

My guess is that the other cunt parent who suggested a cinema trip instead of the disco is flabbergasted that a Europe wide super famous DJ making thousands for his impressive DJing wants to charge his child’s classmates £200 to be in the presence of his super stardom.
