What's some juicy gossip that you can't share irl but can share with nosy strangers on mumsnet?

To improve an otherwise boring friday night in front of the TV, with my slightly poorly DD x

👀👀

My DH wrapped some presents for me, while I was in the room. But I didn’t know what they were: I was blindfolded. It’s a fun tradition of ours.

Two parter - turns out a friend of mine's other half plays football with the ex and they got chatting about rental prices and it came out there in an offhand comment - my friend (being nosy) asked what street the house was on and mentioned it to me. Then seperate to this, i bumped into her next door neighbour (i live much further down the road) who I've not seen in months as they've been unwell and they grumbled a bit about both houses either side of them doing DIY in the evenings to a late hour and it came out about the boyfriend having moved in...

Should also add I am not a Scout. I'm a Girl Guide.

Not really juicy gossip as such but my future son in law is planning to ask my dd to marry him….he has the ring but we have no idea when it’ll be so we are on tenterhooks for the foreseeable 😂

That’s lovely!!

My cousins son isn’t her husbands child. Everyone knows except the child, she was married to his father so not an affair or anything, no idea why they don’t just tell him. Surely he’ll find out eventually.

A bloke at work was horrible to me, always questioning me, belittling me, which caused a major issue as I’d always call him out in it. I ended up anonymously telling his wife about the affair he was having, one of many. He’s now remarried but this marriage is the same, affair after affair. Odious man!

Is it anything relating to your username 😂

Very sensible. If I had any "gossip" I wouldn't be posting it all over the internet.

Please tell me it’s been the more reluctant partner who has got lucky!

No! I'm not in the UK.

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 😃

Oh then you've got to share! 🤭 just fudge a few details 👀👀

!!

This is bloody lush

This has made me happy.

'Blindfolded you say...' 👀

😄 I joke, that sounds lovely of your dh 🥰

rock star! 🌟 well done to you!!

My auntie died recently. She had 2 boys and 2 girls. My mum has 3 other siblings. What they don’t know is that the eldest boy cousin has a different dad to the other cousins. My auntie was still living at home with her parents (my grandparents) when she had the oldest child. He looks nothing like the others. My uncle used to be in the army and used to work away a lot so I’m not sure if this happened before or after they were together. My mum says she doesn’t think her siblings realise and they have never mentioned it to her.

I also know that my brother has been with at least one woman behind his long-time partner’s back. I was late travelling into work one day and saw my brothers van park up in the same car park as me. He got out and an absolutely stunning woman stepped out of his van. He looked really awkward and acted as if he didn’t know me as they walked off. My brother is a builder and works with my dad, and I know from conversations with my mum, that he told my dad he had a dental appointment that day - so he lied. We don’t get on and if I said anything it would just look like I was trying to cause trouble so I’ve not said anything to his partner. He’s not a very nice person so I doubt this was the only time it happened. He won’t marry her and has refused to have more than one child, even though his partner really wanted another. In fact, I suspect the only reason he had one child was because I had suffered from long term infertility for many years before I had my own children, and he thought I would never have children and wanted to rub it into my face. When I did finally have a baby, he went crazy and banned my mum from offering any assistance with childcare (he threatened my mum with not seeing my niece anymore if she helped me) - even though she looked after my niece several times a week.

The only 2 people I ever told is my mum and my husband. I hate my brother. He is a vain, nasty, self-indulgent bully. I suspect his partner knows or at least suspects he may have cheated on her. But he earns a lot of money through my dad’s business and I think she’s too reliant on him to feel able to walk away.

Omg i was the cousins son in this scenario 😄 - she really needs to tell him before he hears it from someone trying to be hurtful!

What a scummy man - i love your act of revenge 🤭 - some men just cant control themselves honestly, and how they speak to women is exactly how they treat them

My ex, who I told the best story ever of him getting his comeuppance before, met someone new. Fed them his usual pack of lies going by their "kids need Dads too" and "dads matter" posts on SM. Going by his social media he's going to an event with her tonight. He has no idea that our two adult children are also going. Kids haven't seen him for a few years, know of the new GF, and are looking forward to saying hello 😂

He got the best comeuppance a while back that I posted on here about and it was just absolutely hilarious

🤭 I love it

A hobosexual could be anywhere, they walk around seeming like normal men, and then BAM, there they are trying to move in with you after two weeks!

I'd pay to see the look on his face when the kids say hello! Hope that woman runs away from him!

Feel free to tell us the story, or post the link to the thread - sounds like youre far better off without him! x

This is how we should all run from some of these scary men

So ex was made redundant in lockdown and got a low paying Tesco delivery job. He pays CM to his two exes after me (our kids err adults now) and they were led to believe he'd stayed in that job.

He had a newish GF and drunk bragged to her that he had in fact gone back to his old well paid job. He was very amused that his two exes had no idea and were therefore getting much less CM.

Girlfriend pretended to find it funny, then took a photo of some job info (either his badge or payslip, I'm not 100% sure) then did some digging. She sent the info to me and the other two exes.

The other two exes went through CMS and his maintenance bill doubled 😂 He was furious and complained a lot on SM about being betrayed and was gobsmacked when quite a few people said they thought he was shitty for ripping off his own kids.

It didn't affect me financially, but I did find it hilarious 😂😂

Girlpower love it!
