Men with boats cheat

[Boatsandcoats]

The subject says it all!

I’ve long believed that men only buy boats to use them as floating love shacks. My friend thinks I’m being ridiculous and says boats are just a great lifestyle choice. Recently, she told me her husband is thinking of buying a boat, and I couldn’t help but give her that look! She insists he’d never cheat, but in my experience, every man I’ve known who had a boat wasn’t exactly faithful.

Honestly, if my husband bought one, I might even consider it grounds for divorce!

So, am I being unreasonable? Can men own boats without it leading to adultery, or am I totally right to be suspicious? Should men with boats just wear a t-shirt that says, "Don’t trust me?"

(For the record, this doesn’t apply to fishermen making a living or people who live on boats!)

Puts a whole new perspective on men who say their boat is for fishing the Norfolk Broads.

What a load of rubbish.

Yes, a tent but it won't have the same cache.

I guess people who can afford to have a boat (large enough to be used as a loveshack) as a hobby probably have plenty of money and plenty of time and that maybe makes cheating easier?

I don't know a single person who owns a boat so if I agree with you it's purely based on the reasoning above.

Our retired GP friend has just spent £250k on a motor boat which isn't shaggable in to be honest.

We have a boat but my DH doesn't generally go to it on his own except when he's working on it. When he's working on it he drops tools all over the place so not enough clear space for any fun.

That's NOT a snorkel!

The only bloke with a boat I know is always taking his wife and kids away on it. I don't think I've ever heard of him going out on it without at least one member of his family.

They all seem to love it

A friend of mine caught his wife in flagrante delicto in a beach hut she'd rented!

We all worked for the same local authority and it was the talk of the town hall for a couple of weeks.

My husband owns a single scull.
Even if he could find anyone who didn’t mind the draught and has sufficiently good balance to use it as a “floating love shack” they’d probably both get arrested for gross indecency anyway.

I think I’m probably alright with this one.

...because of the implication?

Oh dear! Just googled it and I now feel like I have lived a sheltered life...

It was very early wasn't it! Has the info enriched your day?

You can create that post I suspect less people will be examining their husbands phones tonight with that info though!

YES 😂

Doesn't everyone love a man who goes down?

No you are fine but if he goes to Sainsbury's or Spar you are in trouble

Weird thread. In my family everyone sails. Our kids grew up in boats. My husband spends all his time tinkering with boats. He has 5. They were all bought in a poor state and he has done them up. We have participated in races as a family. My eldest child is qualifying as a sailing instructor. Sailors are far too interested in fixing boats and sailing them to have time for cavorting with other women.

The struggle is real

YABU OP. We (well it's DH's really) have a boat; DH doesn't spend much solo time on it (needs crew, usually me) but when he does he can be usually be found tinkering in the engine room. There was a serial shagger on our last marina but he didn't bring his bits on the side to the marina.

The commodore of the sailing club I used to belong to (cold reservoir with dinghies not posh yachtie type) once said his aim was to die in his 90s by being shot by a jealous husband. But I think he was planning for when he was too old to sail.

I am suspicious of men who consistently work away from home even if they are senior. Plus men who visit the Far East in all male groups. I just assume they are cheating as the men I worked with that did these things all did.

You ain’t lived until you have worked in the leisure industry🤣 You name it, and it has been shagged in, on and under. And when the leisure industry marries the Fire Service and there are equestrian sports involved as well, life is just all rubber, leather and whips…….

That's dogging and that's known! Some become HGV drivers just because of the naughty public mischief.
