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

👀👀

Earlier this year one of my past bullies was in named in an infamous WhatsApp group. Promoted their last campaign on “supporting the most vulnerable” in private is nasty, racist, bigoted bully” I know stories about them they would not want public and that they will not know I know thanks to their equally two faced proud mean girl best friend. I refused to vote Labour despite my left of centre principles because of them.

I named them to a friend as being a member of this group before the names were published in the press. I resisted the temptation to call the tabloids to share the information about them. I have enjoyed watching their partial downfall. The best part was I had already mentioned their bigoted bullying to others in my industry before this came out in the press.

They will have been thrown under the bus by people more powerful than them. As they fall I rise and know in future they shall be exposed for the bullying bigots they truly are and this is just the beginning of their comeuppance and revenge really is best served cold and living well despite your bullies.

My mum told me she tried to abort my sister as she only wanted 3 kids.

Sister is no 5 and I'm no. 6.

Sister worships mum and has no idea.

@mumofoneAloneandwell not Michael McIntyre although that would be awesome 🤩

My mother-in-law discovered her then husband (not DH's dad) was cheating but kept her shit entirely together and did some snooping (as did I). She genuinely loves his children and grandchildren, so didn't want to bring shame or upset unnecessarily, so he never found out all the evidence she had against him, but my god, some of it was so fucking stupid. To this day he insists he wasn't having an affair (but has since married the affair partner) and has no idea how much grubby evidence we amassed.

I often fantasise about running into him and telling him, but of course I never would. He's a condescending bully and I'm so very glad he's not in our lives any more. I'm itching to expose him... but I will not.

No super hot gossip but my sisters pregnant and I’m the biggest gobshite ever and need to tell someone 🤣

Fairly well known actor living in pretty village. He has been having an affair with a local teaching assistant for 8 years in this small community and his wife still hasn’t twigged.

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

I hate my colleague, I do actually hate her. She is smug and up her own arse, gets in everyone’s business and will spend 15 mins out of every hour taking a “mental health break” (or a ciggy break as it’s actually called).

If you went for swim at the weekend she’d have swam the channel in 1 hour.

Hope she gets her own back. Revenge is best served frozen

I was at an in-laws house warming party a few years ago. I needed the loo so the hostess let me use her en-suite as the main bathroom was in use.

When i came out of the en-suite I saw the hostess snogging one of the party guests, who was a friend of her husband.
I quickly went back into the bathroom, turned the taps on, made a bit of noise & then came out. By this point, the hostess was folding towels on the bed & the guest had gone downstairs.

A couple of months later, dh announced that his cousin's wife had left him & he didn't know why. It then came out that she had been shagging the party guest for a while & had moved in with him. It caused a few waves as they both came from very conservative backgrounds.

Also, we’re waiting on my DP’s wages being sorted for a few months through the family business to wait and be able to get a mortgage. We have a 1 year old in a 2 bed flat & are over run with toys & want more kids.
My MIL owns the flat & is waiting for us to move to sell it, split up with her partner and move back home. She moved away to be with her partner 9 years ago, she’s 2 hours away and missing out on grandma time, she’s been unhappy for years but now has the kick up the bum she needs to get back home.

again, not any hot gossip for anyone else but I can’t tell anyone I know that’s her plan so it’s nice to say it 🤣

@PinkBird89 bloody hell!

I get what you’re saying, but it’s not his only crime. He’s a complete ass and has recently been investigated for fraud. They’re both a pair of nasty narcs and I’m sure his pride is hurting.

My DH is convinced his Dad had an affair.

My son’s best mate’s long-term girlfriend made a pass at my DS. His mate’s mum is also a very close friend of mine, so I feel a bit awkward knowing this! They are (very) young adults though, so no big deal I guess.

more my own secrets rather than gossip- have had Botox twice (no-one noticed 😂) . Also have had a huge crush on a mutual friend of mine and DHs for years. He drunkenly indicated to me that he feels the same but neither of us are silly enough to risk our marriages by acting on it.

My ex and I have children and were married for a long time. He was a controlling arse. He met a new girlfriend who has been a complete pain in the arse towards me. I feel he has literally met his match as controlling as each other. He was all smug gf had been nominated for a business award a few years running this time they were told she had won. He went on about booking a hotel hiring outfits. How she was planning her speech etc. So they went to all that effort and she didn’t friggin win. Karma is a bitch. The best bit was my teenagers reaction I found out due to dc laughing but you went to all that effort! What goes around comes around…

She won't be the only one done that. I've heard of two similar tales.

😂🙌

An ex best friend of mine (male) lets call him Sam (whom I dated) had sex with my other male best friend let’s call him George . Sam doesn’t know I know, I knew he was a version of a boy slag, but he’s always maintained he’s a ladies man and nothing but straight. It could ruin his whole reputation by me telling just one mutual friend. I won’t of course, I’ve kept it secret for the last 13 years. George is now happily married to his husband but back when this happened George was still claiming he was straight.

How do you know noone noticed but just didn't say anything because they didn't want to be rude? I notice plenty of things i don't mention.

And here I am single when so many people have 2 relationships at the same time! Life is unfair...

Also my half sisters dad has a whole other family, he never claimed my sister because after he’d slept with my mum ( I think she was having a midlife crisis because this guy was an absolute melt, we’d know him for years) he went back to his ex. They went on to have another 2 kids. To this day I still don’t think she knows about my sister. Nor do the kids. They aren’t together anymore, haven’t been for years. My sister knows about her siblings but wants nothing to do with them. I’ve wanted to stir some shit up years ago but I couldn’t be bothered.

You are a perfect wife. I hope he appreciates you.

So… a guy was telling me his unfortunate adventures after his divorce with dating. How he felt lonely etc. The divorce seemed quite amicable and I even suggested that maybe they should get back together with his ex wife, as he said at first that they divorced because the spark was gone and they weren’t attracted to each other anymore. I knew both of them and I always thought they match. I suggested maybe they could still work on their issues.
He then proceeded to tell me that things weren’t as good as they looked, the marriage was truly toxic and he wasn’t going to to bash his wife and said a few things she did who hurt him but also and also a few of the mistakes he had done. One of them was an affair with a married woman named X (rare name) who was originally from Y country (small country with not too many around from there) and that he got really invested with that affair. The cheated husband went after him, it was full on drama and then they stopped. I remember asking oh wow he took her back? And he said “yes” and that she actually had lots of time as she was child free then.
We live in an area that I have met lots of mums and friends and when I met X (a rare name) who originally comes from same Y country around the park at first I didn't connected the dots. We became mum friends and I really like her. I’m 99% she's the lady the guy was talking about to me , really his style, slim body/sexy face. The year she had her child also suits the hypothesis, as she would have been child free around the time the acquaintance had the affair. I would never tell her even that I know said man especially since that divorced man went after me too 😅
The guy still walks his dog around the same big park I meet very occasionally my friend but it never happened to be with her when I see him. I also avoid him like the plague, he found love though which is similar to my friend and me, slim build. The guy clearly had a particular type and also he didn’t stop even if the woman was married or in relationship.
moral of the story: no affairs with silly guys who don’t keep their mouth shut 😅. I’m a a nice person and I wouldn’t even mention to my partner or my best friend what I highly suspect about this other friend had happened prior to meet her.

She’ll be earning £££. My bil sister ran her own ‘kinky cleaning’ business - never had sex or anything, simply cleaned the house whilst in her underwear and the bloke watched 😳 She made a fortune

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...)
