2 children + 1 dull husband = affair

I have never done "message boards" before, but read an article on mumsnet in the Guardian, struck a chord..maybe there are other mothers out there who dont live their lives around which is the right school, can junior read better than a n other how many different types of veg can I fit into my Waitrose quick check bag to look
impressive.

Anyway, I am mid 30`s, married for 10 years, 2 boys and so very, very bored. Over Christmas a neighbour, who I have known for 8 years, and I started something which should not have been started and blimey, life has got so much more interesting! So far, even though he lives only 2 mins away, we have been very discreet and no one knows, however its eating me up. I now not only find my husband boring, but also am begining to dislike him.

I have a "meeting" planned for Fri evening...what do I do...carry on things as its giving me a bounce in my step and a reason to get up. Or.....?

hey, am not picking on you but genuinely interested..
"i would like to say more but will also get hounded".

throw it into the mix, thats all i'm saying..

You say you want posts from women in similar sitauations.

Did not the fact that I said my best friend had tried to commit suicide because her husband was having an affair with the woman across the road - was that not similar enough for you.

A woman could have died - DIED, DIED, DIED, because some stupid feckless fucking woman wanting a quick shag and excitement.

I have NEVER been so vocal as this tonight. My friend came home on Friday and has had to be reomitted tonight. I hope to God she gets through this. She has two children, one who is 2.5 and one who is 5. The 5 year old has an ASD. She has enough on her plate without the fucking bored woman who just wants a shag because she is bored.

Get a grip and get a life. And THINK of how many peoples lives you might affect by doing what you are doing. It does not need YOU to tell anyone, how would you feel if HE suddenly decided he would tell his wife? Have you ever considered that? Then the shit would hit your doorstep and without you having ANY control over it whatsover.

You should go on to rollercoaster.ie

It's an Irish parents forum, and they're all at it. NOt condoning that. I don't have one husband to shag, nevermind two!!

Post this on relationships on rollercoaster.ie Those folks love a good drama. They may be Irish, but they're not holy. They'll LAP your drama up. Is tea and sympathy what you need though? Or is it wake up and smell the coffee time?

camillathechicken · 23/03/2008 22:22

no, tis me ! being controversial

ooops!

collision · 23/03/2008 22:22

Actually Bethoo, you did say that.

so,come on, what did you mean?

sorry Dee.

lou33 · 23/03/2008 22:24

we should all chant this

also, you dont shit on your own doorstep

MadameCh0let · 23/03/2008 22:25

Sorry if I've breached the board etiquette by mentioning another forum. I probably have. I just know that there is a different 'atmosphere' on different boards. Although I love this board because the posters are all intelligent, there is also a kind of seriousness here that isn't on a board aimed at Dads and Mums. That's a bear pit.

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 23/03/2008 22:25

lol
a friend of mine always tuts "dont shit where you eat" whenever the is a scandal!

MoreSpamThanGlam · 23/03/2008 22:26

im sorry MCA. I think that some people feel really really strongly about what you have posted.

Then again - there are others that are also bored and have been the other woman, but it just depends on how you post.

I think you have to earn the right to be big n bolshy here and you are new and cant really hurl judgement around.

Personally - I think its frying pan fire. You sound like you have a very dull life and because your husband is interested in his work, you see him as dull - could it possibly be that you are in fact now dull? Maybe you need to get a hobby or interest - outside of fucking your neighbour. Your self esteem sounds very low, all bluff and bluster....

collision · 23/03/2008 22:27

thanks for that brief and to the point advice Lou!!!!

think the OP might be somewhere else now.....or working her way through a glass of wine!

jenniejennie · 23/03/2008 22:27

Alchy, I think you are incredibly selfish and clearly only thinking of your own pleasure. All relationships are exciting to begin with, it wont last. Affairs do hurt so many people. Stop criticising all the MNers who have morals who are just telling you like it is. Some of the more judgemental posts are probably the best advice you could ever have.

Your husband might not be prefect or exciting, but he is obviously working very hard to pay for the best things in life for your children. You owe him and them more than you are giving them at the moment.

You can always change your MN name if you think councilestatesoberbitch would be a more accurate.

Sort yourself out.

princessosyth · 23/03/2008 22:28

A first timer posts about whether she should introduce solids or moans about the cliqueness of the P&T groups - boring yes but also believable.

Middleclasslady is also not a typical name for a typical mumsnetter. Definitely a bored journo type.

princessosyth · 23/03/2008 22:29

Sorry I have had too much time to read the name of the OP correctly.

princessosyth · 23/03/2008 22:29

Time? I meant wine! I must preview before I post!

DeeRiguer · 23/03/2008 22:33

i like your name MCA

and i hope you do take the chance, grab life by the balls and sort this out properly

relationships move and change go through stale and dank bits
if its over with your old man talk and tell him
or if its just tit for tat nothings gonna change then your life will be boring and you will be bored..

cyber witches is nice
thought you'd spell witch with a b!

take care

lou33 · 23/03/2008 22:35
