Scared to tell the truth

My wife knows of an affair I had with a coworker and we're working on our marriage, but she isn't aware of another affair I had. I want to come clean about it, but I'm terrified it'll end us.

For the last seven months, I’ve been having a sexual affair with our children’s after school nanny. She’s a student at a local college who was recommended to us by my wife’s coworker. If I’m honest with myself (and it’s no excuse whatsoever), I got caught up in a younger, attractive woman aggressively coming onto me and I didn’t stop it. It was fun and exciting and I compartmentalized the guilt by telling myself that I loved my wife and it was only sex with the nanny. I finally ended it last week and the nanny said she understood that I didn’t want to jeopardize losing my family. It’s over, but I feel my wife should know; it’s not fair to her if we're going to build a new marriage on trust and respect.

OP, it sounds to me like you're burdened with guilt and just want to offload it, but are scared the wife will bin you.

So on the one hand, you'll be be free of the guilt, and in a good position to start a new affair (because after all, who'd think you'd do it to them a third time), on the other, you might lose everything, but be free to shag around even more.

Choices, choices...

What does you cock say? Surely that does all your thinking for you?

Oh, writing a book Brian?

I remember when one of my friends went to England to be an au pair, and she came home with a potbellied 40 year old in tow. Hmm

She thought she was cool, people were really cruel about it, saying it was all she was ever able to pull. How mean of them. It did not last though. When she was asked why she did it, she just shrugged and said "because I could"

AnyFucker · 25/03/2014 11:54

There is a novel in there somewhere, Quint Grin

akaWisey · 25/03/2014 11:56

I know a bloke who published a book with a Vanity Publishing company.

His name isn't Brian though

DioneTheDiabolist · 25/03/2014 11:58

Aw Brian, I feel for you. I really do.Sad

Please tell your wife. That way you will know if she really loves you or is a hardhearted, unforgiving harpie who deserves to spend the rest of her life alone. But you sound like an intelligent, good man who would not have made such a silly mistake as to marry and have children with a woman like that. So tell her and expect her to be understanding and forgiving. It will be ok Hun.Smile Flowers

Oh and let us know how you get on.

All this time you have been working on your marriage you have been cheating up until last week.

How little respect do you have for your wife?

Have the decency to let her know so she can make an informed decision about whether to stay with a serial cheat or nor and so she can get to an STI clinic and make sure you haven't given her anything.

BuzzardBird · 25/03/2014 13:20

Oh Brian, you sound so hot! Any chance I could jump on you before you tell the wife? I wouldn't want her punching me or anything...you know the way these jealous wives act, so fishwife! Hmm

Melonbreath · 25/03/2014 13:23

I don't think the op will be back!
But what's the betting there will be a thread title along the lines of 'dh cheated again, this time with the nanny' thread in the near future?

ohnothewoodchip · 25/03/2014 15:14

Confess all or do you mean you want to rub her face in it? Sounds more like gloating to me than working on a marriage.

ormirian · 25/03/2014 15:20

Goodness me bri! What a man You must be so proud.

StrawberryMoose · 25/03/2014 15:29

Reeeeeeeeealllly... {scratches chin} Hmm

Bogeyface · 25/03/2014 15:34

So your idea of working on your marriage is to fuck the nanny? I would hate to see what you would do if you hated her guts!

Give the poor cow a chance to have a decent life, tell her the truth then pack your bags. She deserves much better than you, and the only thing you are scared of is facing the consequences of your utterly shitty actions. You are not worried about your marriage otherwise you wouldnt have fallen over and accidentally got your dick stuck in someone else Hmm You just dont want to lose the nice life you have. Well boo fucking hoo.

Do the decent thing for once in your life and let your wife find a man who will truly love her and treat her right.

onlyjoking9329 · 25/03/2014 15:35

You really are a catch Brian.
Have you thought of expanding your harem, you know, online dating, you could sign up to the no stings attached sites and do all those poor poor women a favour.Hmm
Your wife is better off having a brain rather than a Brian.

God damn it, now my brain keeps going into Monty Python mode, I'm Brian, and so's my wife.

Bogeyface · 25/03/2014 15:41

Ah just seen that I may have fallen for a hairy hand! Ah well, if it is true then I stand by what I said and if it isnt, get a fucking life!

MatureUniStudent · 25/03/2014 15:43

Lets hope Brian is off "drowning in a vat of gin" - Gordon's as Mrs B is going to need the Hendricks. Or am I being too harsh with the Gordon's?

MatureUniStudent · 25/03/2014 15:45

Realised I was the 69 th post and didn't want to be in the position with Brian - he might get ideas...

Foxred10 · 25/03/2014 15:46

You cunt Brian. If this is real you deserve to have your willy drop off in the most painful and horrific way. I hope that when you're a lonely, sad old man who's children want nothing to do with him because of the way he treated their mother than you can think back on this and assess if the 'fun' was worth it.

Fragglewump · 25/03/2014 15:48

Brian......you don't live in hull do you? And I don't suppose you offer sacred yoni massage?
