If relationships had worked out I would have been

[isitsnowingyett]

• a gamekeeper's wife 😳
• a wife of an American military bod probably divorced
• living in a cottage in a small village in the Scottish Highlands
• living in Tennessee in a very Christian environment

How about you?

Dead, ex-husband was abusive and had plans to take me to another country and dispose of my body

Sorry to bring down the tone 😂

I was going to say I will remember this as a classic example of a threadkiller in the very first response, but well done on escaping in time.💐

Very unhappy. My ex was verbally and mentally abusive, not physically although maybe it would have progressed to that if I hadn't got out when I did.

Same 🤣

I’m not sure that counts as ‘worked out’ !

(sorry that happened to you and glad it didn’t work out like that)

Married to a very famous pop singer! 🤦‍♀️

an arsehole

a philanderer

1. a widow , he died from cancer in his 30’s. Great guy too
2. if Facebook is anything to go by, I’d be living the high life in the West of Ireland being treated to regular holidays, concerts and nice things. I do believe Facebook to an extent he was a lovely guy when I knew him so can’t imagine he changed that much.
3. Living in Portugal to a raging alcoholic. That was a very lucky escape!!

I’m divorced now, but it wasn’t an horrendous marriage, just an unsuitable pairing really and I’ve come out with my gorgeous kids and financially ok. Wouldn’t change a bit of it. Also in a new relationship, well it’s 5 years so not so new, to the loveliest man I’ve ever met.

• married to a nice lad who seems to have a nice normal life (pre teen "relationship" haha)

• married to an accomplished professional chef (Midteen relationship!)

• probably dead.

• riddled with insecurities (porn addict). Most likely not married as he wasn't keen on ever getting married.

• also riddled with insecurities. Definitely not married, he was stringing me along for years (porn addict again... I'm talking actual addicts, as in porn took priority over real life, dunno why i seemed to gravitate towards them.. maybe all men looked great after the very abusive one?)

Brings me to now, where future looks lovely with current partner

Ok, so I would have been (in no particular order)

• a cricket widow
• a football widow
• a bored, but very rich lady who lunches (twice)
• A scientist’s wife in deepest Africa
• ditto in Australia
• ditto in India

BUT having kissed lots of toads, I’m now living a very boring but happy (albeit poor) life with my very ordinary husband. No regrets 😊

Converted to Islam and have 7 children
Being a wife of an academic and scolded for enjoying occasional rom coms and eating more than my allocated 20 crisps.
Living in a remote farm and making art (also having a lot of sex)
Being a carer for a husband with a MH condition

Married to a man who wouldn't let me wear heels because he was obsessed with his height

Married to a man who searches for women with their own homes so he can freeload (aka cocklodger)

Married to a man who was paying large chunks of his salary to various porn sites and refusing to sleep with me

Married to a man who sulks if you point out his poor behaviour/lies.

Happily single!

Exactly the same as I'd never move for a man, I'm on my track, not his.

Glad for those of you who escaped the abusive arses.

I would have been living in Texas as a lawyer's wife. Or married to a BBC TV exec.

Lets see apart from divorced or a victim of DV possibly dead, I would be:

• living in Sydney, Australia (probs unemployed with husband who used me as a punchbag).
• A Judge’s wife in Dublin (probs with 5 kids and a dog). He cheats but doesn’t get caught.
• Living in an east London council flat with a pathetic stoner I can’t afford to leave.
• Visiting husband in the Scrubs, doing his time for armed robbery. Hoping I can get hold of the ££.

Very, very lucky with who I ended up with.

Married to a barrister - living happily in Yorkshire (we were engaged - he died)

Married and divorced to an alcoholic (ran his own successful company and screwed everything in a skirt) lucky escape!

• remarkably similar life to my current from the looks of it. On the face of it less travel (never had a passport) and living in a neighbouring county.

• married to a spoilt man child.

• continued my eating disorder he was imposing on me (I was 16) into the rest of my life.

• the pretty woman who looks good on the arm but never speaks. Feck that!!

A surgeon’s wife

Married to a politician

Married to the son of the prime minister of a Middle Eastern country

Married to a well known lawyer who has since been found corrupt and struck off…

Married someone really wealthy because of his dad’s success in a Middle Eastern country (I’m Arab myself, hence the theme…)

Married a foreign dentist who claimed he wanted to take the necessary exams and study here but I strongly suspected never would and would live off me and my family.

Currently married to someone very normal who is from the same profession as me and makes me happier than anyone ever could.

an alcoholic

If the relationships had worked out, why would YOU have been an arse hole or a philanderer??

I went through an odd phase in my life of going out with very posh boys (I am not especially posh), so in one alternative universe, I am a minor member of the aristocracy, saddled with an obscure title, a large and draughty castle and a sporting estate (although it will emerge that my husband is gay).

In another, I'm a wealthy Home Counties SAHM running a little business on the side catering for society dos and shooting parties in between lunching with the gels.

In yet another, I'm married to a very successful, world-renowned biosciences academic (and most likely an academic myself, although in a different field).

The current Mr AffIt (20+ years) is a partner in a Magic Circle law firm and not even remotely posh, so all worked out well.

married (not legally of course) to a bigamist from Grimsby.

Married to a bus driver and probably settled down with a couple of kids.

Married to a millionaire telecoms person in a very controlling age gap marriage with no friends.

Married to a management consultant living in Sydney and only having sex in one position for the rest of my life (girl on top fyi)

Married to a civil servant looking after his two kids whilst his ex wife and her new partner constantly went on holiday and didn’t look after her own kids.

• Living in Egypt with a lovely Egyptian man and his family (I was young, still a virgin and bottled having a proper relationship when we met as students)

-Living in Texas with a multi millionaire oil and gas entrepreneur, with additional inherited millions from his dad (who owned an oil rig)

-Miserable and role playing a version of myself to keep partner happy

I wouldn't change anything as I have a lovely DH now and two lovely children. The millionaire was a bit of an arse and up himself; there's still a mild connection so I hear updates about him and it sounds like he's not really changed. Also him and his now wife don't have or want children and I think that would have been hard for me if i had stayed with him as I always did want children.
