Great lengths to insist that they are not just another sordid pair having extramarital SEX

livingafulllife · 08/12/2024 13:13

Same shit different day.
I read utter bollocks daily on mumsnet.

ginasevern · 08/12/2024 13:26

His poor, poor wife.

Hail to the high priestess and shaman of the Most Transcendent Order of Bollocks. I particularly admire the phrase 'if something this special is put in front of you, you can’t walk away from it', which offers convenient justification for any number of behaviours, from eating the last cheese straw to organised fraud.

Yikes!

If he wanted to meet her so much why didn’t he just go to her house and not a gig? He is just keeping her on the back burner.

There is no fool like an old fool.

Snugglemonkey · 08/12/2024 14:10

People really delude themselves so easily.

Article about a pair of cheaters in The Guardian www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/5225783-article-about-a-pair-of-cheaters-in-the-guardian

uhOhOP · 08/12/2024 14:16

"I genuinely don’t think I’m taking anything away from her." This other woman has never experienced betrayal like this, clearly. And the amount of energy he must be putting into maintaining that archive of his and making her jewellery... So, so gross, both of them. The delusion is staggering.

Chocolatecoveredshitpig · 08/12/2024 14:17

Tale as old as time.

'No no, we're not just having a grubby, sordid affair. Our connection is sooooo deep, sooooo meaningful. No one, in the history of humankind, has ever felt the way we do. You just wouldn't understand; we're special.'

What a load^ of bollocks 🤮🤮🤮^

Notimeforaname · 08/12/2024 14:21

Pair of fuckin eejits 🤣

NewGreenDuck · 08/12/2024 14:22

Just one of the many reasons why I no longer purchase the Guardian.

Couldyounot · 08/12/2024 14:23

That is pharmaceutically-pure wank. Impressive even for the Grauniad.

Unicornsfordays · 08/12/2024 14:24

Unfortunately STIs transcend the ‘multiverse’, not sure if anyone accounted for that…

Planesmistakenforstars · 08/12/2024 14:33

How nice and convenient for them that their cheating exists in a different universe to his marriage. I wonder if they would do his wife the small courtesy of telling her about this separate universe, since it's obviously perfectly fine and doesn't impact on the marriage. Maybe she could then make informed decisions about her own world. No? I thought not.

AlertCat · 08/12/2024 14:36

What a pretentious load of old bollocks. Jeez.

Opentooffers · 08/12/2024 14:38

Viviana is deluded. He's having his cake and eating it, no skin of his nose, and its all OK thanks to the multiverse - lol at the BS excuse. Doesn't matter how many universes exist, he is in this one, another him could be in another, but there's only 1 of him being a twat in this universe and its the current experience that counts, no changing that.
Viviana is very gullible unfortunately and moulds her life to suit any man's lifestyle no doubt - probably feigned an interest in theoretical physics, how convenient. Probably won't see him again in this universe, just hasn't realised its probably over in the physical sense - never mind she can fall back on the hope that in another universe her other self has him all the time ( while he sees his bit on the side) lol.
Just comes down to him being a selfish creep really. Got it all with his wife, but still craves the ego stroke elsewhere. I hope his DW finds out and dumps him.

MarmaladeSideDown · 08/12/2024 14:39

Some people will go to any lengths to justify their shitty behaviour, won't they?

"Sebastian and Viviana" oh please, they're probably really called Beryl and Colin. Breathing one another's essence in Milton Keynes. Ugh!

I think that's the biggest load of tripe I've ever read

Uricon2 · 08/12/2024 14:45

I read it yesterday and apart from the A grade wankerish pseudery, it struck me very clearly that what "Viviana" has a completely different view of his marriage to him

"I don’t feel jealous of Sebastian’s wife because there is no way that anything in his marriage could be akin to the intensity of what we share"

does not chime with

"My marriage is perfectly wonderful and fulfilling."

MarmaladeSideDown · 08/12/2024 14:45

'Viviana' needs to wake up and smell the coffee. If she's real, that is.

Not that I'm suggesting that anything in newspapers is ever made up, of course.

Horses7 · 08/12/2024 14:47

Bless their cotton socks 🤣

SleeplessInWherever · 08/12/2024 14:51

I’d like to exist in an alternate universe where I didn’t just read that with a stinking hangover.

Christ, my eyes.

All this time, I thought there was two levels of married. Married; or not.

BobbyBiscuits · 08/12/2024 14:54

@ConstantIllness I was going to start a thread on this. It's fucking bonkers.

The pictorial description of the bloke, ugly as fuck and smug as a Reese mogg at a migrant relief centre.

He should be ashamed of himself. Same for the woman.

As for his actual wife? How the fuck would she feel reading it. If they put up stories of abusive and damaging relationships and invite people to consider them normal. Where does the line get drawn? Or just resorting to clickbait?

AngryBookworm · 08/12/2024 14:56

"Viviana and I have a keen interest in theoretical physics and the concept of the multiverse helps us" – I snorted coffee at this. Whatever wilful misunderstanding helps you sleep at night, mate🙄
