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??

I am still in love with the married man I was with at 18, I met him several times since we split and it kills me.

DH is having a possible breakdown, I can't cope with it. I want to split but he says the DC and I are the only reason he is still alive.

I had an abortion at 18. See relationship with MM above. I regret it every day.

I struggle to parent my DC with the patience and understanding they deserve

Where I live, in order to be a department head of the subject I taught, I had to do a language proficiency exam. The oral part was at 730pm. I had a quick dinner with my friends and had a few too many wines to calm my nerves. I can't remember the interview but I did get a commendation. I was so proud. hangs head in shame

CarbeDiem · 24/08/2014 12:15

mybiggestsecret That is horrendous and I'm so sorry you had to go through it all and still are. I have nothing to say that could help but wanted to send you ((Hugs))

Darkest I'm familiar with your story but can't remember why you're still with your husband. Please find the strength to leave him. Your pain and hurt is palpable through your posts. You deserve more, you really do

My biggest secret Yours is one of the most horrific experiences ive ever read.

Please try contacting your MP. I am absolutely appalled by it. ((((hugs))))

LoafersOrLouboutins · 24/08/2014 21:09

I have another one! Many years ago (well, around 2 or 3) my best friend slept with a very famous boxer. She has only ever told me about it. They met in a nightclub.

Curiouslygrumpycola · 25/08/2014 21:14

Kitty, you aren't a horrible person. Far from it.

Pickitup · 25/08/2014 23:12

I know a v famous couple paid a very large amount to friends of friends to move their wedding venue when they wanted sole use of the particular venue for a sporting event. Has set up the couple for life the amount that was paid.

My neighbours won 250k and they decided not to tell anyone. I can't tell you how I know this & I haven't told a soul (except you lot!)

I fancy my postman. :-)

CromerSutra · 25/08/2014 23:26

Mybiggestsecret, that sounds like an absolute living hell. I am so, so sorry. Xxxxxxx.

clam · 26/08/2014 17:33

Pickitup re: the wedding venue - I've heard that tale many times about friends of friends. Am sure it must be an urban myth.

LoafersOrLouboutins · 26/08/2014 19:48

Clam- I agree. A girl I met at uni claimed this happened to her uncle's friend! Definitely an urban legend IMO.

It's not earth shattering but even admitting it to myself feels like a big deal. I'm still in love with my abusive stbxh. I know after everything he's done, I should hate him, and I did for a while, but now everytime he comes to pick up our DC all I want is to have him put his arms round me and tell me it's all been a huge mistake and he wants to reconcile. Pretty pathetic really.

I know it would be more of the same if we ever did get back together, more verbal abuse, more emotional and mental cruelty, more aggression..and I honestly would never take him back anyway. But that doesn't stop me being in love with him and wishing he was different.

LoafersOrLouboutins · 26/08/2014 21:00

Captain America . You're not pathetic. Not at all. You're very strong. It's perfectly normal to still be in love.. You did conceive children together! There is a part of me which is still devastated by my ExDH. It's normal, don't be too harsh on yourself.

afterthought · 26/08/2014 21:17

I have secret debts amounting to 25K (I am on top of them though and slowly paying them back).

I am pretty certain I have another half brother. My dad was dating two women at the same time (I was a very perceptive child, dad doesn't know that I knew). One them had my dad's child (half brother 1) and he married her. A few years later I met the other woman in a shopping centre. She had a child (possible half brother 2) with her. He was the spit of half brother 1, the same age and had the same name. I was only 12 at the time but still remember it, there was something inside me that just knew he is my brother. I don't blame her for going it alone though, at least he has been protected from the rejection I have been through.

CaptainAmericaMmmYesPlease · 26/08/2014 21:24

Thanks loafers ..I know if I said it to anyone in rl they'd be hard on me..so I won't! Tis nice to just write' it down and get it out.

LoafersOrLouboutins · 26/08/2014 21:27

My FWB is coming to my house for sex at 11pm. The DDs are in bed and I'm currently making a scrapbook for them of my ExDH. I have a gorgeous new bra and matching knickers to surprise him with. I haven't seen him since Saturday and in gagging for it. Nobody knows about him, my colleagues think it was just a ONS and my friends don't know he even exists!

number99bus · 26/08/2014 22:31

Ha ha loafers I'm well jel x

LoafersOrLouboutins · 26/08/2014 22:53

did I mention he's 6 years younger than me too ? X

crazylady321 · 26/08/2014 22:56

I cheated on my ex with another ex, he suspected at the time and I denied it, weve not been together years and are good friends think if he found out he would be more hurt now than then!! Ive also told my OH that ive never cheated on anyone

number99bus · 26/08/2014 23:01

Ive been messaging a guy on Facebook who used to work with my ex husband. We seem to get on well...so why do I feel it would be wrong to maybe date him??

Gogglepox · 26/08/2014 23:51

Only three of my friends from my old town know that instead of moving to the beautiful house in another city that my H and DDs planned to move to, I announced I was leaving my H and we now live in two separate houses. I'm dreading when people ask to come and stay with us!

My other secret is not mine to tell but an acquaintance of mine slept with a British Hollywood actor in London a few years back. He has been mentioned on this thread as a fantasy!

airedailleurs · 26/08/2014 23:53

am totally and utterly in love with an ex work colleague who feels the same, I have a DD and a possibly soon to be ex DP and he got engaged just before he met me and he is also young enough to be my son...he is the most beautiful man I have ever met inside and out and the first time I saw him I actually swooned...not sure where this is all going but it is MOST enjoyable!

Oh shit - now I'm going to have to go back and read the whole thread to find out who it is!

ladymariner · 27/08/2014 00:32
