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

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

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

👀👀

😬😬😬 omg, I wonder if he will ever work it out

Is he married?

Omggg

He needs to stand up and leave tbh, but I understand he'd be so embarrassed

I am very happy in my marriage with my husband, but when I drink I am a complete dick and black out and have no memory of stuff. We had a work summer party which NEVER HAPPENS! I drank half a bottle of wine on the train on the way there and was already drunk! I’m a light weight and slim so it hits me fast. I carried on drinking and apparently gave my boss a goodbye kiss 😳 He’s a Dr and we have always had a good relationship but NOT LIKE THAT! I have no recollection of it but someone saw and text to ask if I remembered! I was mortified and text said Dr who said ‘erm yeah it was just a goodbye kiss, totally innocent please don’t worry’. I felt awful, had anxiety for days and weeks after (this was last summer) and hated facing him at work. I’ve not told my DH because it really meant nothing and I don’t actually have any memory of it happening. I don’t drink anymore though!

How old are the couple? Bewildered what the young girl gets from this.

My next door neighbours but one are selling their house on the quiet and moving away after 60 years and my mum is buying it. She’s getting older and my kids are nearly flown the nest so I’m looking forward to having her closer.

(And there’s about an acre between us so she’s not exactly going to be living in my garden.)

Friend of 40+ years confessed at the time of her marriage 35ish years ago that she’d been having an affair for about a year before and after her marriage. I believe it stopped after about 12 months. I think she thinks I’ve forgotten. I haven’t.

Very minor, but someone I know knocked a few years off her age when appearing on a TV programme. It wasn't a situation where her age was relevant, so fair enough.

We're on friendly terms with a couple on our street, with DH getting on very well with the husband of the couple. They seem like the perfect couple, lovely kids, happily married, typical Facebook posts from the wife on anniversaries etc.

The husband told DH years ago that they haven't had sex for over 10 years (since their youngest was conceived and that conception night was the first time she'd had sex with him in 2 years). Recently he told DH he hasn't seen his wife naked in years (and she's really attractive so I don't think this would be due to body shame on her part, even misplaced). This week he told DH he thinks he's going to tell her within the month that he's leaving her, as he can't keep being treated like a friend and a cashpoint (he works 2 jobs, she's still working part time despite their salaries being very similar and the kids being easily old enough for her to work full time). He's tried to speak to her in the past about it but she just shuts him down.

I'm not sure he'll go ahead with it as in other ways they have aeemingly good marriage but, if he does, I can well imagine her spinning a very different tale to her friends and family to put all the blame on him.

A girl I was friends with a few years ago was cheating on her partner, she was having an affair with a guy she worked with, claimed she loved him and was heartbroken when he broke it off. She has recently had a baby with her partner and I constantly get the urge to tell him but I never do

How do so many married men get women to sleep with them? It's a mystery to me.

@UnhappyHobbit- That would be a really awful thing to do to the husband. His only 'crime' is trying to keep his family together, he doesn't deserve that at all.

I know that two people, A&B for example who are in a relationship actually got together at least 12 months before they claim and when one of them was he was still married to someone else. Nor did they first meet in the place they both claim to.

Other than the people immediately involved (of which I am not one) nobody else knows this I am not entirely sure how much of the above A's ex even knows. I do have to sometimes bite my lip when people go on about what a lovely couple they are and how lucky they found each other after As marriage ended 🙄.

A few of us have cottoned on that a lady in town who is always raising money for 'good deeds' is making a tidy profit. She shot herself in the foot with the recent one as we know the total amount this time was a few hundred higher then she claimed. Police are investigating and im praying she is finally stopped from scamming all the locals.

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

You are an official legend. Fair play and may you always be great.

I am enjoying this thread and it interesting to think that so many people have secret or fairly secret stuff in their background, I think that very few people lead lives that are free of complications and bad choices.

I can't imagine sleeping with Stacey if you were married to Mylene.

I’m pregnant! Very early but so happy and shocked. It took us 2 years to conceive DS and I was so scared it wouldn’t happen again for us. Lo and behold after 3 months of seeing what happens, I’m pregnant. I can’t believe it and have taken about 192749 tests. So nervous it might go away. Nobody apart from DH knows and I want to keep it to ourselves until at least 3 months this time which is already proving tricky because I want to shout it from the rooftops 😀all positive vibes gratefully received 🤍

We can see what you edited.

Come on, don't leave this hanging. How are they going to find out?

I had NO idea we could see the edit history 😂 That’s quite cool actually, people can’t mess about with their posts too much.
Happily nothing identifiable…

Troublesome family (renting on benefits for no reason except laziness) living on a nice quiet estate we'd bought a house on. Invited teenagers over who were bullying my asd son. I tried to stop it the police came. We were moving a few days later it wasn't long after my DH had died and I couldn't live in our house any longer so had rented a house about 50 miles away in the countryside.

Troublesome AHs thought they'd ran us off the close and were apparently rejoicing 🤣

Just before we left I walked past her house I was on my way to the post box and I heard her screaming at her 3 little kids. They were all crying loudly and she was ranting it went on fir a few mins so I called SS whilst outside her house and asked them to listen. They did. They took the kids off her. Her partner was sent to prison.

A lad my DS knew was going on about us leaving (we only went back to sell the house, c 2 years later) and then got onto troublesome saying he had no idea what happened. 😶

I wanted to say 'I happened that's what' but that coukd have put us at risk, so I let them think they ran us out of our mortgage free home. Frankly, that's karma for bullying an ASD kid. 😎

How do you live with yourself?

And why?

We can still read it and it's hardly outing.
