2 children + 1 dull husband = affair

[middleclassalchy]

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.....?

one thing intrigues me...

what is the male equivalent of a cyberbitch??!

funny, although I have had my fair share of difficult conversations on here and faced lots of strong opinions, I felt strangely protective in the face of the OPs ridiculous generalisations about the people on here... I think I have finally become addicted!!

A daddymumsnetter, for those of you who don't know...

cyberPrick?

cyberdick?

cybergit?

looks like it's

cyber[insert-favourite-penile-name]

!!

I actually did think of cyberwanker (the wanker bit has more of the connotation of being an unpleasant person, as with "bitch") but feared it might be misconstrued!

Are there any men on this board? AT all, ever??

I'm surprised this board wasn't called Parentsnet.

howdy welcome posting

There are a few men around.

NannyNick
BigGayDad
Pan
UnquietDad
SingleDadofThree

I have sniffed them all out!

blimey mn you made short work of this one!

madamecholet
that has been topic of one heated thread that i remember..
yes there are blokes, a few defo
there was an even an affair (not cyber i gathered)

most think it gives good perspective & some think that they inappropriately must lurk on mooncup threads..

yes, the name is naff not descriptive

i'll never win a comp on here

go winniewino

MadameCh0let, I often post in this section and I always make it clear i am a man...

in fact, from another thread, I was prompted to look at my previous posts - and there were 243 of them!!!

I didn't know whether to be proud or slightly concerned!!!!

There are quite a few fellas around, tis good. Parents like the rest of us with inane babble insight to share.

MN benefits from having blokes about the place.

I like your name postingatlast

Oh right? It's just that with the name MUMSnet, you don't expect a man to stumble on to the site.

I always assume everybody is a woman on these boards, until proved otherwise.

243 men on this site? Wow. Any of them single?. I might be tempted to stump up the five notes and CAT somebody. Maybe BigGaydad. ONLY joking. Five notes? No way.

I should start a separate thread for this, but have you all paid it? I'm a frugal article and I can't believe you have to pay five pounds just to PM somebody!! Wht's wrong with bombarding us with advertising ?

No MC. postingatlast has posted 243 posts.

I would think there are 10-12 men on this site which I think is great as they are parents who often have the same thoughts as women.

243 of my previous posts, not 243 men!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, 243 posts, not men.

no me neither dont cat
its a cash technical thang

posts crossed. Yes, don't get me all excited thinking about millions of men.

what happened to BGD?

i havent seen him posting for ages

well i met on mumsnet a woman with no children and not even trying for kiddies. so she was not even a mum or wannabe mum or mum to be.

MC i havent paid, i am skint and tight, so just put my email addy in any message if i want someone to contact me lol

Deerigeur, it's not so much the five notes (jim royle accent) it's the filling in credit card details that ticks me off. It's boring, if i'm going to get up off my ass, pick up my bag, dig out my wallet, I want it to be because I'm buying something exciting. Something tangible that will arrive in the post.
