My ex's father died recently & ex thinks his stepmother may have murdered him. If she did, she's got away with it completely.

(This would never have occurred to me, and 99% chance it's bollocks subconsciously designed to justify ex's feelings about her & about inheriting the money she brought to the marriage. But he was abusive to all his kids and all his wives, so a tiny part of me wonders...)

👀👀 I think that murder is super common tbh, far more than we realise

Also my friend has a friend who always has at least 1 other man on the go in addition to her 10 year marriage. OH completely unaware. She had a secret 7 year relationship & is always hooking up online. Went to meet up with one recently in Paris for the weekend, OH was told she was away with her friends. How on earth does someone have a 7 year relationship behind their OH's back without them finding out?! I could never lie that much to my OH plus I'm a terrible liar

I don’t think my dad was actually my dad………my siblings resemble him in some ways, but not me, I only look like my mum. And the colour of our eyes troubles me……dads were blue, mums were grey/greenish…….mine are brown. I’ve never mentioned any of this to my siblings and can’t ask my parents as they’re long time dead now.
Dad was fabulous though and provided for us all, was never out of work and made sure we had a fabulous childhood. But these doubts just niggle in the back of my mind although I don’t have the courage to mention anything to my siblings…….there’s something wise about letting a sleeping dog lie.

If it helps, my siblings and I have the same - parents have green eyes and blue eyes, and kids have blue, green, and dark brown eyes. The one with dark brown eyes looks like a grandparent rather than either parent. Could you resemble a grand parent or even great grandparent?

@mumofoneAloneandwell I'm thinking Rochelle Humes as the OW in the MK situation.

I've just googled her beef with frankie! Could be, you can tell that shes not as sweet as she seems 😄

Someone very well known in the music industry (beloved 80s band member who is massively respected and hugely influential) and who is known for being wholesome and family orientated - and has been married to his wife for decades - is having an affair with my friend.

I'm seriously unimpressed with both of them and I've told them as much. She met him through work and we've all been friends for ages but the affair only started earlier this year. His wife is absolutely lovely and I see her socially often which is awkward to say the least.

Pair of dickheads.

One name springs to mind.... is the wife a famous model?

The dates don't really add up though. RH was already with Marvin when MK split with her ex, unless it happened years before the split

An argument started indoors near their patio door
"But you knew I had a woman on the side what the fuck you moaning about you silly cow?"
One of my ex neighbours yelling at his partner.
"But I'm your common law wife ain't I ? You filthy fuck."
He ran out into the garden under a barrage of stuff being thrown at him.
We called the police as there were two kids in the house.
The bloke moved out a few days later.
Those poor kids though with such scummy parents.

No, she's not really in the public eye at all other than as his wife. Most people wouldn't recognise her.

My DH ex girlfriend (who he has children with) moved some cocklodger in and my stepchildren kept on saying how horrible he was. I brushed it off as the kids just having loyalty to their dad as they are very close to my DH and myself UNTIL one day I popped by to drop a surprise off for the kids and while I knocked on the front door I could hear him screaming calling the kids ungrateful cunts and then opened the door all smiles to me. I was so damn angry but kept my cool.

I made a plan with one of my friends to take her car down to his car garage and flirt with him and try and get him to go on a date with her. She did. The dirty abusive “man” was happy to cheat on the woman who was letting him live in her house for free and treating my step children like crap. My friend took video recordings and pictures of their date and sent them to my DH Ex. Needless to say she was heartbroken but she did kick his butt to the curb and the kids are so much happier that he has gone

edit for spelling and to add the ex has no idea it was a set up

Edited

This is the greatest thing I have ever read in over a decade on Mumsnet

I'd be even more heartbroken if it was him than if it was Brian May! Definitely not, but a bit closer.

I won't say any more because however much of a pair of arseholes they're being there are DC involved (adult and younger teenagers) plus their partners who are both lovely.

My little brother has three dogs, four cats, too many lizards, spiders, turtles etc to mention. No children. Never wanted them. Pets and hobbies guy.

He rang me today. He never rings me. Needed to tell me something. Very serious. Made me promise not to tell my partner, or our parents.

His partner is pregnant and he's so happy he could burst 😃

Aw this is wonderful!

I knew someone whose eldest daughter slept with the mothers boyfriend the youngest child knows about it too no-one told the mother no-one knows why the children dont really get on anymore the irony is the mother sided with the eldest against the youngest the youngest hardly speaks to the family anymore they have quite frankly had enough and is leaving them to their dysfunction

How old is the eldest? because this has a whiff of predatory vibes from the mums boyfriend.
