Secrets we want to tell but can't

There was a thread on here a few months ago which was full of confessions and secrets that we can't tell in real life...My secret is that I know the neighbour on one side of me is having a naughty affair with the neighbour on the other side of me. As soon and the husband goes to work and the kids go to school she's off with the single dad on the other side of me...

Has anyone else got a secret??

Jam you need to get a life. Do you really think your ex gives two hoots about you?
His wife deserves better; she obviously loves him and after all; he chose to be married to her, so why not announce to her that you hare fucking you ex and let her find someone more deserving of her affections.
Couldn't you just join a dogging group and get release from shagging an anonymous bloke?

Why is the OW always to blame?

something2say · 07/08/2014 07:17

Oh leave her alone!

murphys · 07/08/2014 07:30

Up the whole point of this thread is for people to say something that they keep to themselves and cant tell anyone irl. So a bit of a relieve thread I think.

Jam has put something on here that she needs to get off her chest. She is happy with the situation, she didn't post on this thread to be judged!

Great thread! Here's a nice one which I'm struggling with - one of my best friend's is engaged. She told me after a few drinks a few days after he proposed and asked me not to tell anyone as they hadn't told family etc yet and were waiting to do it in person. It's been six months now though Shock

up don't ruin the thread.

Last night I wrote my resignation. Ive no intention of handing it in as I cant afford to not have a job. But, it felt good to write it.

fairgame · 07/08/2014 09:08

I think ive finally figured out who the footballer with the colour in his name is.
Would it be fair to say he is eternally in love with his wife?
Did I get the right one?

Curiouslyhopeful · 07/08/2014 09:22

To be fair to up, the thread is meant to be secrets we want to tell, that was more of a boast.

Yes to the guess below.

Curiouslyhopeful · 07/08/2014 09:23

Ask, I have written a couple of fabulous resignations, one included a list of improvements the company should be striving towards. Don't resign and hand in the 'honest' one by mistake. It makes references difficult Wink

I know now that DD's dad was sleeping with at least 2 other women in the final months of our relationship. I don't think the one he is now engaged to knows that I have a picture of the other woman's boobs that she sent him after a drunken shag or even that the other woman exists. I don't think either of them know he was still sleeping with me, as I didn't know he was sleeping with them! Whenever I think of her being smug in Court (really wasn't necessary as he showed himself up as a wanker all by himself that day) I wonder if she will ever know what he is really like.

I know so many affairs from various offices I have worked in. We had the same in most of the offices with regards to Christmas parties - partners not invited because it became too awkward.

One of my friends burnt her house down with a lit fag thrown in a wicker basket. She lied to the fireman who asked if there had been a bin there and he decided it must have been an electrical fault. She got 9K insurance payout and never shared it or told her house-mates who lost practically everything they owned. I distanced myself from her drastically after this.

My friend suspects her DH of several affairs as he was going to go to tribunal at his work but resigned on the understanding it would be dropped. I find him creepy and pervy and strongly suspect he did everything accused. I'm annoyed for the women who now won't get their justice where he used to work. I'm sad for my friend who is still clinging on too as she is pg Sad

Work party last night with about 200 people. I ended up kissing someone I have flirted with in the past. Problem is she is married. And we have been having flirty exchanges online this morning.

No one knows and I am not sure what to do now...

Worldofjumblesales · 07/08/2014 11:36

Perhaps play it by ear MM1

CarbeDiem · 07/08/2014 12:00

JoyceDivision - Yes, you got it. Google that name and kitty together.

I'd suggest for your sake, nothing, MM1. When/if she leaves her husband then reconsider.

MysteryMan1 · 07/08/2014 12:22

Thanks for the advice. I do work with her as she is in marketing and I am working on a project which will need her input.

She has been quite flirty on email this morning and I have a meeting with her and 2 others later..

She is 36 and I am 26 so a bit of an age gap. I am feeling quite guilty so will need to stop it before things get out of hand.

I can't believe all the famous paedophiles there are, it's sickening..... Bloody hell, who next?

And all famous people seem to be shagging around like mad too.

Interesting thread but sad too.

GarlicAugustus · 07/08/2014 13:26

Wickedfairy: from the Guardian, June 6th, 1996 (this is no longer in the Guardian archives, which were destroyed on government orders, but has been widely quoted) :-

"From East Belfast's Kincora Boys' Home, via Leicestershire, Staffordshire and London, to the children's homes of Clwyd, we have witnessed 25 years of cover-up. Cover-up, not to protect the innocent but to protect the regularly named elements of the British establishment who surface whenever widespread evidence of child abuse is exposed.

"From the public schools right through to the Catholic and Anglican churches, child abuse has been allowed a special place of sanctuary."

I'm about to post another link on the In The News thread, if anyone's interested but hasn't seen it. The thread, and the one before it, can be upsetting.

How I wish some of those named would tell their secrets!

fairgame I'm being a bit thick today - please give me another clue

WeAreAllStarDust · 07/08/2014 21:07

Shamelessly marking my place. And making a mental note never to marry a footballer. Unlikely I know.

StarsforAngels · 07/08/2014 21:24

This thread has made my evenin..marking place for now
