Should I 'out' the OW?

92 replies

To cut a long story short, I discovered back in March that DH had been cheating. He cut all contact with the OW, who is now travelling on the other side of the world with her partner, and is doing his best to make amends.

This morning I discovered her travelling blog in which her latest post is about working as a Nanny. It is very tempting to add a comment along the lines of "I don't think Mary Poppins shagged a married father of two."...

Should I....?

Oh dear

bestguess23 · 12/07/2015 12:13

The change you need to make is enough that I doubt anyone would stumble across this thread if they were looking for the blog. I have just done a search of the more relevant title and this thread doesn't show up. I hope that reassures you a bit.

Fugghetaboutit · 12/07/2015 12:14

She prob has one of those alert thingies that tells her when anyone writes the title Grin

Floundering · 12/07/2015 12:14

Yes a blog, possibly hers,+ this thread are on google search, I 'm afraid Sad

Milllii · 12/07/2015 12:19

Found the blog too.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 12/07/2015 12:20

I can't see the blog boo

Milllii · 12/07/2015 12:22

best I googled what the op said theatest blog title was and it went straight to this thread and further down is the travel blog OP is referring to.

Viviennemary · 12/07/2015 12:27

I'd certainly be very tempted. But I might word it in a more subtle way.

I can't find it when I Google it...not sure if people are finding different blogs....

Anyway, never mind. I am not going to do anything. Not bothered enough about her and don't want to create more trouble between myself and DH.

The only blog I can find with a similar post, the post is nearly two years old. I guess I'm on the wrong one?

MaliaGrace · 12/07/2015 12:35

There are two or three Blogs that come up on Google but I'm not convinced they're one of the ones you're referring to. The entries don't really follow what you've said about her and/or aren't recent.

Yeah Anon. It's not that one.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 12/07/2015 12:37

does she piss off travelling while her H is at home then?
For lolz?

DoTheDuckFace · 12/07/2015 12:37

I doubt anyone looking for the blog would be googling anything in this thread. The blog title is totally different. (If it is the blog I am assuming it is?)

I would however ask mumsnet if they can delete all your posts under your current user name, just in case she does come across it. Wouldn't want her bed goodnight able to see your posts if she advance searches.

Ahemily · 12/07/2015 12:39

Well, I bloody would - but that's doesn't mean it's the right thing to do!

beerbelly · 12/07/2015 12:39

Yeah, pretty confident people are finding different blogs as it doesn't come up when I put the actual title in. At ease sisters, don't post anything on some random innocent woman's blog!

beerbelly · 12/07/2015 12:42

I don't think I need to do anything. I am deliberately fairly anonymous on MN as I joined specifically for help with DH's affair.

If she did come aross this and figured it is her we are talking about, who cares?

OP posts:
TheStoic · 12/07/2015 12:44

OP it sounds like your husband has the upper hand, even though he's the one who cheated. Saying things like 'he got off lightly' and you 'don't want to cause trouble'.

Everythinghaschanged · 12/07/2015 12:44

Does she know you know?

beerbelly · 12/07/2015 12:48

No. She was his work colleague. I never met her.

I don't think DH has the upper hand. We are both trying to work through this. By saying he got off lightly, I mean I didn't go batshit crazy at him. I know he admires the way I've taken this in my stride for the sake of the kids.

butterflygirl15 · 12/07/2015 12:58

oh dear - I hope you haven't been doing the pick me dance. I bet he admires you seeing as he has got away with it scott free. What cheating man wouldn't?

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 12/07/2015 13:14

What is this dance people keep talking about?

differentnameforthis · 12/07/2015 13:21

Absolutely NOT marking my place....
