Considering affair

137 replies

SuffolkMumof2 · 14/09/2024 10:35

I am married mum of 2 with a loving DH and great life.

I work part time for the NHS and work long hours with colleagues. I fancy one of them very much. He has already tested the waters to see if I'd be open to have a date. I dont know what to do, I really liKe the idea of a one off or 2 off.

Although it could happen at work I dont want to be caught and sacked. My entire career and home life ruined.

Bringing him home would work, the house is for me most days while DH is at work, and both my colleague and I have compatible shifts off.

I also feel guilty for considering it and wished I hadnt

Do you love your DH and want to stay married?

TwistedWonder · 14/09/2024 10:38

Yay go on blow apart your family and wreck your kids lives for the sake of a quick shag

If this isn’t a wind up then it’s embarrassing

Babbadoobabbadock · 14/09/2024 10:39

Fucking disgusting and you know it. Go on, ruin several lives. And when it all blows up and you’re a single parent without your lovely life, what then ?
All that because you’ve got fanny flutters ? Grow the fuck up

Have you given some thought about WHY you’re considering this? I’m in a similar position right now (mutual attraction with someone) and it’s made me realise I need to start having some serious conversations with my husband about our relationship as it is, otherwise why would these thoughts even enter my head?

It’s sobering, the realisation that being parents and domesticity can mean intimacy and excitement exit the building, or at least gradually erode over time, so this is what I’m choosing to concentrate on and see if it can be fixed. Unemployment and ill health on his part made me feel like a carer temporarily and I’m struggling to return from this as things improve (he’s back at work and his health is better).

Is there anything else going on for you?

You are not a terrible person, but try putting yourself first in a different way before you make any drastic moves.

Christ considering an affair is awful but to contemplate taking him to your family home is a whole new low ffs.

vodkaredbullgirl · 14/09/2024 10:48

🤔shame on you

Channellingsophistication · 14/09/2024 10:50

This can’t be real?!

snakewillow · 14/09/2024 10:50

Why would you consider treating someone that you once cared about enough to marry and have children with like this? If your marriage is not worth enough to you any more be an adult, have a proper conversation and leave.

gotmychristmasmiracle · 14/09/2024 10:50

This isn't real 🤣🤣🤣

rainbowstardrops · 14/09/2024 10:52

Don't bite people!!!

Snowdrops17 · 14/09/2024 10:53

Jesus your poor DH and kids ... all for what a few minutes fun you would potentially throw away your home life and career? OP what the hell are you thinking !

Gemmy96 · 14/09/2024 10:53

Grow up.

MrsSkylerWhite · 14/09/2024 10:57

Yep, reported.

Secondstart1001 · 14/09/2024 11:01

It’s won’t be a one off, you work together. You will be addicted to it.
Think of it the other way round .. how you you feel if your husband brought someone home to shag in your bed?
You should read up on the trauma that children have after the parents split.
if you have a hsppy life and loving relationship with your H, why risk it all?

florizel13 · 14/09/2024 11:01

If you're gonna do it, keep it far away from home...can't the two of you work a night shift together or something! But I actually think this is a wind up and has got the desired reaction Wink

Anyonefortennistoday · 14/09/2024 11:05

This must be a wind up.

ActualChips · 14/09/2024 11:08

My entire career and home life ruined.

Sounds great!

I think you and your imaginary beau should go for it - send your imaginary DH the video.
