Secrets we want to tell but can't

[LizzieBelle]

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??

Happily married Bucks mum of three with wonderful caring husband... but absolutely loving getting snagged senseless by 23 year old Portuguese tennis coach. I am such a cliché but right now I don't care!!!

Frank, do you want to talk about it? Do you have a thread, or could you start one?

Actually, I don't think I do.. It's too much effort just to talk about it right now. And I don't want to talk about it either.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound cryptic. But just writing down my 'secret' made me feel a little strange, and I'm not too sure why.

Frank - I'm sure your kids don't see it that way, although I'm one where my kids ask for Dad when they aren't feeling well etc. Not sure how things turned out that way, but they have.

Don't beat yourself too hard, Frank.
It's possible you feel like that if you stay at home all day but it's not a role you particularly enjoy. It can be isolating and it can drive you nuts.
Many of us, women, would rather work outside the home for example, or are not your model earth mother. But that doesn't mean we're less of a mother, let alone crap.
Still, when you're ready, post away. Even if you NC.

I'm married with four children. Last Xmas after my office party at a local bar I wasn't exactly intoxicated but had had enough to rid my inhibitions. I ended up back at the office after midnight with a married colleague who I'd secretly fancied. We had the most passionate sex in the reception, the conference room and finally over our boss's desk. This is one of the moments I will secretly smile about when I'm rocking in my chair in the old peoples' home in years to come.

I've been seeing someone for months, he is lovely. but works away, is a real nice lad and a good laugh. Gets on well with my kids, but pays me little attention. No compliments ever.
Last Sat I arranged to meet someone I have still kept in touch since I met my fella online (I said I'd be at a certain place between certain times) and we had a serious snog and he's been texting me non stop. He's very much fitter and more attractive and sexy as hell (but could just drop me)
Now I'm wondering who to see more of.

I have fallen completely in lust with my PhD supervisor. I'm embarrassed at myself for acting like a tongue tied idiot when near him.

Thanks lweji

Dustbunny Everyday is a real struggle to extend more patience to my children. There's no blame on them. My patience is so thin and I'm rather emotionally stunted in my parenting. I think I learned that from my own mother.

My best friend is having sex with one of the teachers at our children's school, she doesn't know I know..... a picture of his cock came through when I was using her phone and I read through their entire text log silly woman has him as "Mr X" in her contacts.

I like to drop his name into casual conversation and watch her reaction

I HATE men...how they treat women disgusts me so much. I despise them incomparably....yet I love my husband and my dad. They give me hope that good men actually do exist.

Nubia222 good for you. I feel the same way. No intention of wrecking my marriage or anyone else's happiness. But very pleased to have these memories. Mine come after every tennis lesson.

Aw Frank, don't beat yourself up. My DH is very patient, slow to anger and nurturing. I come across as a shouty harpy by comparison, but my boys still love me and I'm sure your kids do too. Take care.

Great thread. I need to offload my guilty secret. I am married but have a teeny, tiny crush on someone else. I knew I would see him today and made sure my hair was nice and I had good clothes on. He is married too. Nothing will happen but the crush is exciting and gives me butterflies. I think he likes me too. I am sure he was looking at my bum the other day!

Thanks m'dear

Marking my place again as this thread disappeared and u had a panic!!

I had the panic, not u.

I give up with this phone.

Why do people have to mark their place at all? There is a 'watch' function in the options bar above?

Because marking a place is easier! It shows up on 'threads i'm on' & shows you where you have read up to. No having to check your watch list as well & you can find your place by looking for your own comment

My secret is that I find it annoying and selfish when people keep posting "marking my place" instead of contributing something useful. And that I'm really judgemental about it.
Just happy that most people aren't, or threads could end up with a 1000 posts just marking their place.

It wouldn't be worth marking your place if there weren't already 100's of replies though would it? That's why you only get the odd few people, not exactly a huge effort to scroll past

R.e. Marking place - use the bookmark function, then watch the thread. Then when you view it from your watch list, it will jump to the post you bookmarked.

But if you use the watch thread and book mark, if the thread gets zapped you don't get the deletion message, it just disappears.
