MIl is having an affair I am 80% sure.

SHe has got Dh to get them a new Pc and I think is lining up some LURV e mailing from it.

She was on the phone to him organising him installing all the software and asked him to put in a "seceret word" (she's not very tech) so That she didnt have to "Go through all her dh's emails"
Yeah right.
She is unaware that windows xp has difernt accounts so this wont be necessary....

ANYWAY, dh was retelling me all this with a wry smile on his face when I said "Well, did you revela that you are actually the Webmaster of our shared domain name"?

No he didnt - so he can hack into all her e mails!

BUt will we?

Yes you will. And share all here with fellow mumsnetters ! Waiting with baited breath

bunny2 · 20/02/2004 20:42

I probably would even though I think it would be wrong. Impossible not to.

No
Why would he want to catch his own mother getting down and dirty in the cyber world?
Probably worse than walking in on her in the act.

Will you bust her and force her to come clean?

ponygirl · 20/02/2004 20:50

Well, my mum's 61 and she's having a secret fling with someone 10 years younger than her, and is being quite coy about it. She is single btw but I'm the only family person that knows - she reckons my db couldn't cope with the info.

And yes, Lady Codworth, please look - I certainly would!

bunny2 · 20/02/2004 20:50

Glad it is still possible at 58

Do you blame her, I mean apart from the morality issue, what's her DH like, is he a dullard or a neglecter?

SoupDragon · 20/02/2004 20:58

If she was having an affair she would have bought new knickers, not new pants. Pants are what you have in a boring old marriage

Isn't it much more fun to only suspect an affair though? There's greater entertainment to be had looking for little slip ups than reading all the gory details in her emails.

Just like how I have a lot of fun trying to guess my christmas/birthday presents but would be upset to actually find out for sure before the day
