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 🤭

No idea, she was at training last night and laughing and joking with the husband and the wife just walked around walking the dog. Maybe they have an open relationship??? More to gossip about it suppose.

This was by no means uncommon.

It's important to remember that when the German army entered many former Soviet nations, they were initially seen as liberators - especially after many brutal years under Stalin.

The German army also benefitted from local ethnic tensions between Serbians, Croats and Bosniaks for example. Some opted for the Germans over hated local rivals or Tito's communist partisans.

A surprising number opted to settle in the UK rather than face recriminations at home.

If your mum and stepdad are still married (you say she would divorce him), how is this woman your stepmum? Hopefully he's not married to the stepmum AND your mum!

My late grandmother, who was born in the Edwardian era, used to say the exact same thing!

I'm a woman. I'm 40.

The trainer is a man. He's 26.

My Dh ,Grandad came back from the second world war to two new babies ( born a year or sp apart) that couldnt possibly of been his
He just accepted it apparently

I find it extremely sad all round when people do such things behind their spouse's back.

IMO there are many people who just should not be married. If you want the thrill of dating, why not just stay single.

There's nothing the slightest bit romantic about secret dating and broken marriage vows.

Lol I say this and I'm 39 😅

Poor bloke but almost certainly wouldnt be the only one. Divorce was pretty much out of reach for the working classes (and probably far more shameful than nowadays) I guess people just had to make the best of it

I suspect it was much more common than was admitted at the time. And people looked the other way or didn’t count dates too closely…

I think the point of this thread was for posters to share 'gossip' they couldn't share in real life. Not to be interigated as to their own morals!😂

Already not speaking to her. I am not blowing up the life of a child in primary school. I found out about half siblings due to Dad’s 2nd family in my late teens and it was awful. But much more awful for my younger siblings. Her child might lose his home, his ‘Dad’ and his security. My sister has a low paid job and would probably end up pretty poor. I don’t care about her but I do want her child to be OK for as long as possible. I don’t know - maybe husband does know by now - I am very low contact so not in the loop for this reason. Maybe he has chosen to stay because he loves his ‘son’ and might lose access in a divorce.

Me too! It's a well known saying, I thought.

Thankfully, no.

Honestly, some of the things that happen in workplaces ...

This is obviously grim on many counts but would the fallout be worse if everything came out?

A friend of mine (male) has decided to do sex work as a side-hustle and he loves it, says he's genuinely having fun doing this. I'm listening to his stories like 😲

A friend worked for the Royal Family back in the day, and you wouldn't believe what they saw .....

Are his clients female or male?

We might, if you told us 🙂

You need to spill… please

I posted on your last thread, about a much loved and admired 80s band member who has been having an affair with my friend for years. He's been married for decades and is publicly the epitome of wholesome family man.

Anyway they're still at it, his wife still doesn't know and I've distanced myself from the pair of them.

I knew 3 girls with very names beginning and ending with A was the middle one and the eldest had no idea her dad was not her biological dad

could be the same !

Follow the money trail…..it will usually be the answer to your questions.

Ok everybody, a quick lesson in blood groups:

Each of the four blood groups are made up of 2 of 3 possible characters. 0 (zero), which has no antigens, A (A antigens) and B (B antigen).

This gives us

• blood group 0 (00)
• blood group A (0A or AA)
• blood group B (0B or BB)
• blood group AB (AB)

You pass one of those two characters on to your child, as does their other parent.

00 + 00 =00
0A + 0A = 00, 0A or AA
0A + 0B = 00, 0A, 0B or AB
AA + BB = AA, BB or AB
00 + AA = 0A or AA or 00
00 + BB = 0B, BB or 00
00+ AB = 0A or 0B

It‘s possible to have a different blood group from one or both parents, but there are certain combinations that just aren’t possible, like you being blood group B and both parents being A, or being AB with a 0 parent.

Then you have the Rhesus Factor which gives you a + or - on your blood group. Most people are positive as - is recessive. But 2 - parents can’t produce a + child.

So blood groups is another way different parentage can come out.

How close are you to the bride/groom? They must know the setup, as they were the ones who extended 3 invitations.
