Of course I meant [hblush] but a Freudian slip may be understandable given your interest in topiary.

jen45 - just to get an idea of a timeline - your dc are all grown up and have left home, you have been with your dh for 5 (hard) years. How long were you on your own before your H after your relationship with your dc's father ended?

zombiebillysolloxx · 23/10/2011 18:59

your either very young or very dumb either way i hope you catch something.

judgingless · 23/10/2011 19:02

jen45 - wouldn't it be nice if the person approaching you, whether or not you were married, wanted to at least go on a date of some kind prior to immediately asking about sex?

AnyPhantomFucker · 23/10/2011 19:56

zombie that was a particularly graceless comment

have a bit of decorum

I think OP is dumb, but wishing an STD on her ?

yuk

izzy there are no Freudian slips on MN Grin

izzywhizzysfritenite · 23/10/2011 20:06

The only thing the OP's likely to catch is a cold if she takes her knickers off in a pub car park or other open space in this weather zombie.

If you were referring to an sti/d then shame on you.

izzywhizzysfritenite · 23/10/2011 20:08

If Siggy slips are out, how about Jungian ones APF?

AnyPhantomFucker · 23/10/2011 20:09

I don't know any Jungian slips

can you give me an example ?

AnyPhantomFucker · 23/10/2011 20:10

someody referred to Jungle sex earlier, on this thread or another, but I ignored it because i didn't know what it meant

jen45 · 23/10/2011 23:56

havent a clue what some of you are implying? too be honest..dont care if you all sit on the jury and judge. shit happens. feelings happen and no one with a heart beating can say they can stop or help their feelings. defy you to tell me otherwise. at least im being true to myself and shortly to others involved.

as for me being young or dumb!! LOL, IM NEITHER so get off your stupid high horse and take a chill pill......usually when you feel highly of the moral high ground, it usually means you dont have a clue yourself, about life in general.
perhaps this subject to too close to home???

Feel highly of the moral high ground?

I don't understand Grin

jen45 · 24/10/2011 00:15

this could happen to anyone. plain and simple. its happened to me and i never thought i would have feelings for some one else. i never judge cause no one knows what is around the corner. glad i have never judged cause then i would be a huge hypocrite.....

Im married but unhappy and not in love. Sad

I met a man in a shop where i work and we swapped phone numbers. he came to visit me and within mins asked me for sex. I got freaked and said no.

You gave some random bloke your number and was shocked when he thought you were only up for a shag? What were you expecting? Did you think he was going to court you?, or even perhaps propose? Hmm

He came to visit again after i called him to say sorry. this time i came on to him but he freaked out!!

Not content with humiliating yourself ONCE you went back for more cringe. Blush

now he avoids me and wont come into the shop ..erm [no shit sherlock emoticon]

Help whats happened you need to ASK??? seriously? Shock

I really like this guy. WTF You are supposedly MARRIED!

You may not be young, but you sound it.

You may not consider yourself dumb... But come on, ask yourself, what opinion would YOU form of a woman who gives her number to a random and then is surprised that he only wants sex.

You are unhappy in your relationship? DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Don't cheat FFS, only really shitty people cheat.

He cheated on you in the past, LEAVE HIM.

It really IS that simple.

If you have bargained away your dignity for the sake of a house, a ring on your finger and the title MRS as opposed to Ms, then that is YOUR decision.

Those that cheat on their partners have no morals, so don't be surprised if you chucking your number out means that you get treated as someone who'd only be good for a shag.

Find your dignity, find your happiness.

jen45 · 24/10/2011 00:19

the mystery shopper didnt come into the shop and ask me for sex.....he came to me house for a coffee...or so i thought......didnt expect him to offer sex, especially not within 5 mins.....if i was that much of a tramp, then i would have taken him upstairs and shagged him......mind you, now i wish i had. then i wouldnt be wondering what would have been....sorry guess i should be lying and saying.... oh glad i didnt.....

OP posts:
jen45 · 24/10/2011 00:25

oh i see only young and dumb people fall for some one else....yeh right....do you read the friggin papers or watch the news???......
yes i agree its not clever but hardly MURDER.....

OP posts:
HerScaryness · 24/10/2011 00:27

I ask again.

WTF did you expect? You gave him your number and invited him to your house, using the old and very famous COFFEE line.

a married person who gives her number to someone in a flaming shop FFS and invites him to hers IS acting exactly like an ffing tramp, you honestly can't see that?

AnyPhantomFucker · 24/10/2011 00:28

you are certainly murdering something [hsmile]

HerScaryness · 24/10/2011 00:30

You are not falling for someone, you daft mare!

You met him in a SHOP! You gave him your number, you invited him to yours.

THAT is a booty call.

not clever = dumb

Cheating or attempting to = betrayal

So you don't care about the perception of you or what you did?

OK then. Then we will judge.

Anyway, must dash, seems my TROLLDAR has gone off again. NO-one can be this not clever in RL.

AnyPhantomFucker · 24/10/2011 00:33

jump in the sidecar, Scary!

< does a wheely then disappears in a cloud of dust >

jen45 · 24/10/2011 00:34

what i see is i am no longer in love with my hb....i fell for someone and decided to act on it....the coffee was genuine. i wanted to get to know him and in time perhaps my mind would have been clear as to what to do next. dont know about anyone else, but i am very capable of having a male friend. I have lots of male friends and never shagged any of them!!.....this guy would have hopefully been more than a friend....in time.....guess i will never know.

babyhammock · 24/10/2011 00:36

Even putting being married aside, its not that you fell for someone else, its that he's random total pervert and you think you've missed out on something meaningful..

whattheactualjeff · 24/10/2011 00:37

Jen45, have you really 'fallen' for him? How come and why?

I ask because the scenario you have described - met bloke in shop, asked back for coffee, after a few minutes he asks for sex - why is that sexy or indeed romantic for you? Your whole OP is a puzzle do you not see that?

Real life doesn't work this way.

You are married. Your husband treats you terribly. You can stay or you CAN LEAVE.

You don't need a random shag to make it happen. Just go. Or make him GO.

Don't just shag about, perlease. It'll make you feel even more terrible than you do now.

whattheactualjeff · 24/10/2011 00:40

oh ffs. you are a troll sheesh....chases after superbike >>>>
