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

The follow up thread to my one from last year 🤭

Ultimate justice may he find out he has an STI….and yes your friend doesn’t count as telling someone lol

My aunt is a headteacher at a secondary school and the number of teachers having affairs with each other is mind boggling. Even the school nurse and the IT guy who are at the school only part-time. They are all married of course

My great aunt has two sons who don't speak to eachother anymore. I got the story from my aunt (they are her cousins).

Apparently one of them was having a secret affair with his brother's wife. Imagine when that came out, I don't think you could ever have a normal family get together again.

A previous, engaged male colleague kept sending me suggestive texts and pics after we both left the company we met at. Ashamed to say I didn’t tell him to stop, I found it amusing if anything as they’d just randomly arrive if we were messaging. He stopped for a few months around the wedding but then continued on and off for about 10 years. During this time they tried and tried for kids, eventually had a child through IVV. His wife tags him in everything on FB and the only reason I haven’t said anything is that she loves him so much and is so blissfully happy in her little family.

When I was younger and had a boyfriend I went on his laptop to find a film (we used to watch our film on his laptop in his bedroom) his search history was “gay porn” not “lesbian porn” or just “porn” but “gay porn” …..

I reported a senior male colleague for sexually harrasing a student and he got sacked, a handful of my colleagues know but i am delibrately very guarded about telling male colleagues when really I want to shout it from the rooftops so any other pervs/pests at work (and there are plenty) know they aren't safe.

This is horrendous!

My husband has just inherited enough for us to pay off our mortgage. It feels sly in a way keeping it quiet but it also feels like his information to share and not mine

My DA fell pregnant and my DM found her giving birth in the bathroom, this was early 1960's. The baby was adopted by another DA, the oldest DS in the family. The child a boy, he was never told of his real parents until he started shagging his half sister, thinking they were just cousins, yack. I am not sure that they know the truth to be honest and neither do his DW and DC.

I thought the new "American" school mum seemed out of place having moved abroad. Like she stepped out of Selling sunset. So I looked her up on instagram and she was on a very well known American reality TV show and known for being in a throuple with a celeb. She doesn't know I know and no one else at school has any idea. Really like her though, she's great fun to be around.

Well for a man a biological need to spread his genes. Sadly for a woman (in my experience) a deep seated lack of confidence meaning that her only validation is if men want her.

Oh and most men are pathetic dicks.

Another one I've debated sharing...a friend of mine's father is a convicted flasher... actually been in trouble several times....years ago. The wife divorced him because of it when my mate was young. My mate idolises his dad and no ones ever told him.

I know because my parents were friends of my mates grandparents.

Not sure how. We all abhor it and I haven’t seen her for 8 years. She doesn’t know that I know. We don’t know the Dad - nothing beyond his first name and that he lives in or near Manchester. We hate it particularly as my Dad blew up our family - although my Mum stayed with him knowing about his affairs because this was very different times. (He had a 2nd family). I just stay well away from the whole toxic mess of my entire family. I live an unremarkable life in a different country.

My husband's ex-wife moved to Spain with another man after they divorced. He was a bigamist. She found out about a week before she would have been his third current wife.

Do you reckon it'll affect her chances? Is she trying to clean his image up? 😄

I'm unable to do these things 😩😩

Rubbish at logic puzzles

Will have to carry on being nosy

She’s putting 3 empty spirits bottles in a neighbour’s bin just before pick up, rather than her own and not as an isolated thing. That’s a classic alcoholic’s attempt to hide the evidence.

'Really old' gossip as my family is incredibly boring these days.

My great x 3 grandmother on my Dad's side was a servant in my great x 3 grandfather's house and became pregnant by him. He was 26 years older than she was so he was in his late 40s and she her early 20s when she got pregnant. Their eldest daughter was born before they married. No one can really say why they didn't marry before the birth. My 2 x grandmother was born after their marriage.

Don't know what the bin men or any body else thinks who looks in my glass bin and sees it full of bottles every week. I live on my own and the lads next door use it but nobody but us knows.

… what?
SIL - either your brother’s wife OR the sister of your husband OR as obviously not in this case, the spouse of your spouse’s sibling
If you say your SIL is having an affair with her husband’s brother:

1. if she is the wife of OP’s brother, then the “husband’s brother” would be a brother to OP, not her DH. Wouldn’t OP have mentioned this?
2. if it’s OP’s DH’s sister (only plausible scenario), then SIL’s husband is just a random, unrelated bloke - the “husband’s brother” would not be related to anyone.
3. I assume it’s not the spouse of OP’s DH’s sibling, because only then would SIL’s husband’s brother also be OP’s DH’s brother, and again, I definitely think OP would have mentioned this.

Am I missing something? (I understand I might be! Rough day here.)

"Any holes a goal" for those types 😳

I knew a family that imploded when the dad came to realise that two out of his three kids weren’t in fact his.

He got DNA tests without the mum knowing, and that was that.

Friend of mine is a human rights lawyer. Does a lot of pro bono work. There was a high profile case a few years back which made headlines globally on account of what the perpetrator did to a young child. Said child has been left with life changing injuries. My friend was his defence lawyer. She was pregnant at the time and was chilled by the complete lack of remorse he displayed.

Obviously not, because the father told them to stop

My brother isn't my brother he's my cousin.....

My mum and dad split when I was young, dad moved on and remarried. He and his wife had my "half brother" turns out out she had an affair with my uncle (dad's brother). "Brother" doesn't know.

I don't have anything to do with Dad (he's a narcissist, but that's a different story) and have "brother" on my Facebook... I just haven't found the words to tell him, my dad never will.
