I am truly sorry to have to unburden myself to the mnet community (again) with this sorry tale of woe but I had nowhere to turn and am truly mortified at the prospect of revealing all to anyone (including close family and friends) in RL You were all so helpful and supportful with the last debacle a few years ago and I am in need of the same heart felt advice and warmth again. For those of you that don't know me my dh was caught "inflagrante" by yours truly pleasuring himself with my batterie de Cuisine. Anyway to cut to the chase he had hypnotherapy I had hyponotherapy (his seemed to work slightly better than mine!) he had regression therapy and we also underwent Primal Scream therapy with a New Age Shamen. We had a few sessions of regular relationship counselling too and dh seemed truly remorseful promising to turn over a new leaf. We fell in love all over again went on a 3 week criuse last year and I thought we were both in a "good" place. Well how wrong could I be? This winter dh has been complianing of itchy feet/cabin fever
and said he needed more space. Well we can't afford tomove so he thought along the lines of a luxury Shed/Garden Room. It arrved at the end of Jan and was duly assembled and wired and fired up literally (underfloor heating the works!)Dh has been almost living out there doing his writing listening to his Vaughn Williams etc. I did not suspect a thing until last night he forgot to come to bed, I popped down at about 7.00 am and found him snoozing on the beanbags in his shed. trousers down ,legs akimbo and his Black and Decker 3 in 1 Belt sander on his belly and the contents of his emergecy tool boX scattered around .he looked like he had been having a bloody good go with the Dremmel too. There could be no innocent explanation other than he has been living a "lie" these last 2 years. I wanted no explanation this time and packed a bag and fled. I have spent all day fingers poised over my laptop not sure if I wanted to seek your good counsel but as I sit here in the Days Inn at Warwick North Services I am exhausted and beyond angry or even pity for the man.I just feel numb and robotic. Should I give him and his perfidious toolkit their marching orders. AIBsoU?

WHHAAAT?????

NewSchmoo2 · 10/03/2010 01:09

My dh has a Dremmel too and seems inordinantly fond of it how does yours use his? I know they have 30 different uses but was just curious really[

As fetishes go it's .....

.....sorry, I keep getting distracted by "Primal Scream Therapy", wondering if it means I may have been a Shaman in a former life. I think I'm a natural if not!

.....YANBU!

TheFantasticFixit · 10/03/2010 01:14

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Neverchuckanokiaatthepm · 10/03/2010 01:18

This is even more exciting than the Kitchen Erotica

Neverchuckanokiaatthepm · 10/03/2010 01:25

Could you not film him in the tool shed whilst he's engaged in his DIY perhaps set up an exclusive member only online club? I am sure that this is a niche market but who knows it might be the next BIG thing in the sex industry. You have obviously put up with enough so why not expolit is little hobby make some money out of it? I mean put it this way at least he is only tooling his own tools it could be a lot worse at least he isn't spunking over YOUR Louboutins.

bernadetteoflourdes · 10/03/2010 01:31

Iguess there could be a future for my dh with Screwfix Direct A calendar deal perhaps? But I can't talk to the man.

stopppittttt hahaha

EcoMouse · 10/03/2010 01:40

If you can't talk, how about sanding him a message instead?

bernadetteoflourdes · 10/03/2010 01:43

And Neverchuckanokia Icame on here for support not 1001 sex tips.

TheLadyEvenstar · 10/03/2010 01:46

show him what extra fun he could have if he bought you this

Neverchuckanokiaatthepm · 10/03/2010 01:53

HA I SOOO GET IT! Saint Bernie is really a) Michael Macintyre, b)Sacha Baron-Cohen, or c) Steve Coogan all desperate for fresh comic material they are reduced to trolling through the internet and hit TV Gold with little old Mnet. Must be, because some of your posts are so darned funny but some are serious and quite mumlike. I really don't get it am I missing something here

Neverchuckanokiaatthepm · 10/03/2010 01:55

LadyE ROFL

gtamom · 10/03/2010 03:54

Maybe you should buy him something safer to play with. Is it just the vibrating feature he wants?

Jacksmama · 10/03/2010 04:21

WTF???

BelleDameSansMerci · 10/03/2010 07:15

Perhaps he needs a "Work Mate"?

ABetaDad · 10/03/2010 07:46

Its such an easy trap to fall into.

First I just started visiting this shop on my way into town. Just looking really. Now I get the catalogues and their website is only just a click away.

QuintessentialShadows · 10/03/2010 07:51

I see he has moved on to pastures new, this time it is a little more hardcore, eh?
This is a totally different kettle of fish, although the hard shiny metal is revisited.
On the danger scale, I suppose a blender is nearly as scary as a powerdrill.

You need to work out what this means? This shift from kitchen tools to power tools.

What do you want to do now?

bernadetteoflourdes · 10/03/2010 08:08

Quintessential I think on reflection this particular perversion started with the purchase of his first tool holster at Focus DoItAll. It really wa the slippery slope...

Oh gosh, Black and Decker/ how plebian.

Would you consider joining in? You could both have many years of pleasure if you could just put aside your prejudices of his fetish. I think you are over-reacting slightly, it's not as if he was putting them in dresses and makeup and calling them Sandra.

bernadetteoflourdes · 10/03/2010 08:19

Yes exactly Jack and I must confess to leaning just s little too closely against the Indesit (on a fast spin cycle) one day but felt so guilty afterwards. you see I always felt so fulfilled in that department there were certainly no complaints from my side and dh seemed so contented. Aside from all this I am starting to get vey anxious about my New Dyson upright, I only took delivery on Monday and have not even had a chance to use the On board tool accessories. I just keep on having these horrible visions of Dh checking out it's new cyclonic action it is all too much!

I am just popping into the Golden Granary/Happy Harvester eatery place next door as I have a complimentary "continental"
voucher to use and tbh I need to get my head around all this. Also the cleaners are doing a dawn chorus with the hoovers here in the Days Inn and they are closing in on me. I will be back in a while, but please keep your helpful suggestions coming in, You are my "rock"

OP posts:
JackBauer · 10/03/2010 09:52

Maybe you cold get him one of those smaller Dyson cleaners for him to have in the bedroom purely as a toy?
Is it more that he is sullying your lovely things or that he is doing it at all? I fear it is that he is using your equipemtn, I rememebr how upset you were when he was using your lakeland purchases. Can you take him to a pound shop to buy some cheap equipment so you don't feel so upset about it?

I do feel for you, have a lovely breakfast and maybe treat yourself to a nice shopping trip in La Senza or Bravissimo to make yourself feel a bit better?

QuintessentialShadows · 10/03/2010 11:04

Just make sure you keep him away from your desktop hadron collider!

claw3 · 10/03/2010 11:22

I would deck him.

Oh well at least he isnt in the shed getting plastered

You could always bring him back from the dark side, perhaps a bit of tongue and groove

Sorry couldnt resist.
