Stopping with parents. I went to bed h stays up with m. Just went down to find m draped over h. Both jump. M pulls dress down (it was up round her thighs). Wtf?
H says nothing happened?!

Sad hope you are okay! Doesn't sound like nothing

storminabuttercup · 01/09/2012 07:05

You poor thing.

Could you pack up the kids And go to the cottage alone? You will not be homeless, he will be.

I really hope you are ok x

Trazzletoes · 01/09/2012 07:18

The thing is, even if he says nothing happened (which sounds doubtful) he needs to explain how he and M got in to that situation. That can NEVER be an appropriate situation/position to be in with your Mil so at least you still have that angle even if he maintains innocence about any other stuff. Poor you. How horrible.

ShiftyFades · 01/09/2012 07:37

How are you this morning? Did you manage to get some sleep? Sad

LiquidCosh · 01/09/2012 07:42

How are you this morning OP? Did you sleep at all? Im sorry but if it was me the holiday would be well fucking cancelled. Perhaps nothing did happen but it was clearly about to. What if you hadnt came down stairs? The thought is sickening. Forgiving cheating is one thing, im in the process of doing it mself withDP, however to cheat with a family member changes everything imo. You have done nothing wrong so just do what you think is right for you and will get you through the next few hours and days. Personally I would have to confront both of them this morning as soon as they got their sorry asses out of bed. Would your dad be able to help with the kids for a while?

Maybe you could just get your stuff ready to go and tell your dad that he'll have to ask his wife and SIL the reason why. Let them do their own dirty work. Any siblings or friends who could help or be a shoulder to cry on? xx

BabylonPI · 01/09/2012 07:50

How horrible for you op Sad

FWIW my DH would if my DM draped herself over him in any way shape or form Grin

Not that they don't get on, just really inappropriate and would make DH really uncomfortable.

bruschetta · 01/09/2012 07:59

Poor you. You don't have to make any huge decisions now, take some time and gather your thoughts. It sounds as though they might, at best, have got caught up in a bit of a creepy moment. On a practical point - I wouldn't go to the hols cottage but go straight home with your dc. Better to be in the home. Let him worry about what he's going to do rather than you having to get back in.
Sorry you have all this stress.

Princesslovelyboo · 01/09/2012 08:09

Hi, been lurking on here, hope your ok op. Good luck.

JamieandOscarSittinginATree · 01/09/2012 08:10

I agree with bruschetta.

Don't doubt your instincts. I am so sorry and want to just offer some virtual support

NameChangeGalore · 01/09/2012 08:14

I agree with those saying that you need to cOnfront them both. Awful awful behaviour on both parts. They should be thoroughly ashamed and if they had an ounce if decency, they'd be the ones approaching you and telling you exactly what happened.

Jinsei · 01/09/2012 08:24

I'm so sorry OP, what a horrible thing to have seen. I hope you have been able to get some rest. I have no real advice for you, but I agree that you should trust your instincts. And certainly, H should be the one to leave the family home, not you.

OHforDUCKScake · 01/09/2012 08:32

Those bastards. I hope youre ok!

You know he WILL try and talk you round there's no two ways around it. I think you need to be really strong here.

What exactly was the position? I just wonder what excuse he'll think up for it.

I hope you're alright this morning.

Dramajustfollowsme · 01/09/2012 08:54

No advice, just wanted to add my support. It doesn't sound good at all. I can't think of any reasonable explanation for them being "draped" over each other. If there were an explanation they would have said immediately. The fact that they didn't suggests to me they were trying to concoct a story. You poor thingSad

bragmatic · 01/09/2012 09:02

That's a good idea Toast.

So sorry, OP.

BabylonPI · 01/09/2012 09:11

Just as an aside, and someone did mention up thread, but if you are worried about becoming homeless - would it be an idea to go to holiday cottage as planned, but bloody leave your H there and come home with your DCs?

It will buy you some time at least while you work things out in your own head Confused

lunchbox · 01/09/2012 09:17

OP how are you this morning?

MigratingCoconuts · 01/09/2012 09:20

Ok, I've reported the opening post and asked for it to be moved into relationships.

JeezyOrangePips · 01/09/2012 09:23

It is possible that nothing 'happened' and that your dh is reasonably innocent.

When my babies were little I had a 'friend' who came over to stay a couple of times. The first time she flirted like mad with my oh. I should have expected it, she was a known flirt. We didn't speak for a while, but she apologised and tried really hard to make it up to me.

The second time I had popped out of the room to see to the kids. The door was ajar. When I came back, instinct told me to listen. I heard her say 'oh go on, you know you want to. She never needs to know.'. I walked in to a similar scene.

Having said that, it doesn't explain why a) your husband didn't follow you straight away and b) why he didn't explain how she came to be draped over him.

They both need to explain themselves to you - separately and without the chance to concoct a story.

MigratingCoconuts · 01/09/2012 09:29

Hope you are ok this morning... We are all here for you xx

RowanMumsnet · 01/09/2012 09:54

Hello

We've moved this thread to Relationships - thanks to those who reported it

Best of luck to the OP

Even if he was drunk, I don´t see why he didn´t remove himself immediately from the situation.

I´m not sure I wouldn´t have thrown up tbh.

sadnanny · 01/09/2012 10:13

Hope you're ok and strong enough to deal with them this morning.

I would go on the break if you wanted to - just you and dc. give you space and time to think and Dh a chance to see what he could/will lose.

Athendof · 01/09/2012 10:36

Forget about the holiday, the last thing she needs is to be in an unfamiliar place alone with two young children even further away from home.

MamaMumra · 01/09/2012 11:20

I agree Athendof.

Empusa · 01/09/2012 13:30

OP really hope you are ok, thinking of you. x
