to consider going on holiday with this couple?

Name changed for this, for what will be obvious reasons.

To cut a long story short, I have been having an affair with a close male friend for the last two years now. TBH, my relationship with DH has been tedious for years now, he's not a particularly warm man and the honest truth is that I don't feel any great guilt over seeing somebody else.

The man I'm seeing has a newish girlfriend and she's really keen for us all to go on holiday. I know it sounds like a bit of a nigtmare, but it's at a very exclusive private members resort and we'd never be able to get in there without her.

AIBU to even consider going on this trip?

see it was so funny i laughed twice!

If this were real, the title would be 'aibu to consider going on holiday with my bf/lover and his gf?' rather than this couple. I think.

If it's true, then why not? You and your lover clearly have the morals of alley cats anyway so I don't think one more betrayal will hurt these people any more. Hopefully they'll find out and take you out to a coral reef for the day and leave you both there

(ooh - now that would be a good ending to the eternal rectangle!)

PMSL @ UQD

Unquiet Dad - please go write that book - I'd read it

Closetothewind · 12/06/2008 09:29

A washed up bitter old cow? Goodness, alittleone, that's a rather resounding judgement on someone you've never met.

Thanks to everyone else for your comments, I shall be having lunch with the girlfriend today and will discuss the finer details with her then. She's a sweet thing, the relationship will never last, of course, but that won't have anything to do with me.

UQD that is the funniest thing I have read in a long time

ROFL

eenybeeny · 12/06/2008 09:32

Oh god Closeto you are making me roll with laughter!!!!!!!!

WilyWombat · 12/06/2008 09:34

I am assuming this is a wind up.

If not

WOW your tedious husband should be so grateful he has such a lovely kind wife and your lovers generous girlfriend is so lucky to have made such a nice new friend

The finer details? Are you going to discuss sleeping arrangements too?

Or will it just be a matter of your lover shouting out 'next please'?

cluttercup · 12/06/2008 09:39

Look out Jackie Collins - UQD is hot on your heels......

WilyWombat · 12/06/2008 09:45

Well she cant be that such an insubstantial little bit of fluff if she has access to the exclusive members only resort and you dont.

Hopefully for her the relationship wont last with your lover....

You have GOT to be winding us up - I cant believe anyone is this horrible.

hf128219 · 12/06/2008 09:47

You also can't be that hot in bed if he needs a girlfriend too

UnquietDad · 12/06/2008 09:53

he is bi and wants a full-on foursome.

WilyWombat · 12/06/2008 10:03

LOL

My suspicion is that the fluffy girlfriend suspects you and is acting under the "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" premis.

Just because someone is "fluffy" it doesnt make them stupid...in fact I have often used that image to my advantage.

UnquietDad · 12/06/2008 10:13

or she is bi and wants a full-on foursome

Kewcumber · 12/06/2008 10:16

HIJACK - Spicemonster - can you go and have a look in the meet-up section please....

Thanks, as you were.

hf128219 · 12/06/2008 10:18

I think anything is possible. Has the identity of the 'exclusive resort' been revealed yet? Could be one of those all singing, dancing ones - everyone in the nude, orgies by the pool.

Kewcumber · 12/06/2008 10:19

Oh and whilst I'm here...

why wouldn't you go?

You want to and it doesn't bother you that you are having the affair and that you are both cheating on your partners - the rest is just geography.

hf128219 · 12/06/2008 10:20

Doesnt want to hear her lover and girlfriend at it whilst she is reading Jackie Collins in bed with her tedious husband snoring beside her?
