Number 5 is odd, agree they are more likely embarrased and avoiding you

My friend caught her DH out becuase she kept on having to fill the car up with petrol cause he was driving to see his ow and not filling the car back up

NAME: Oprah Winfrey

OCCUPATION: General overpaid busybody, chat-show host and cod psychologist

SPECIALIST SUBJECT: The bleedin' obvious

My xh used to take my daughter to ballet, nip off and see his OW, then forget to bring daughter home from ballet on his way back. He did it three times. Pillock.

Is there something new here?

Was there not once a thread on here about your unfailing ability to know when marriages were going pear-shaped, cod?

I remember posting something about staring gloomily at the cake knife at parties, and you could tell the person was fantasising about plunging it into their spouse's back.

littlewoman, the women I described who are hanging on to a relationship where the H has gone AWOL are separated in two distinct groups if I may add.

The ones I described have grown so accustomed to a certain lifestyle, social circle, are set in their ways that they 'know' he's playing away or suspect him to do so but never really investigate and after all don't want to know because their 'perfect' lives would break apart, etc.

Then there are the thousands of women who are just simply in love with their partner, have grown up with him, love their family units and simply refuse to believe he could do such a thing. Most of the ladies on MN, also your own story (yes I've been stalking you on your threads , fall into the latter category. Good hearted, trusting women who have their carpets pulled away under their very feet. >Hugs

Thank you Alexa, I was defintely in the second set. NO lifestyle to lose lol.

knowing a lto abotu memory cards

lolol

I think there is another side to this also.

Since finding out about h's affair, I lost loads of weight (not to gain his approval, more that I couldn't eat and felt totally sick when I did). I starting keeping fit to counter the anger and rage so now I look great (I know, modesty!!).

What I am trying to say is that I now look and act different as I am regaining my confidence but there are (Alpha) Mums in the playground that stare at me in that "I'm sure you're up to something" way, and dont speak to me!!

I bet they even feel sorry for my h!

If Mr Inferior bought trendy new clothes I would be more worried about his mental health than his fidelity

I quite fancy lavish gifts, though, I have to say.

Well, I was worried, motherinferior. He kept buying sleeveless T-shirts, which make him look gay. It was very hard to know what he was up to, and with whom.

Some of these stories are making my skin crawl, and resurrecting a few memories I would rather have forgotten.

Funny how DH recognised the signs in SIL a couple of years ago when I was oblivious to them.

Agree that #5 doesn't sound quite right.

I used to work in a company where the senior executives travelled a great deal to visit International affiliate offices. My boss (and his boss) were notorious womanisers on business trips.

I found it extremely difficult (and eventually impossible) to socialise with their wives 'back home' when I knew that 2 days earlier (for example), one had been naked in the hotel jacuzzi at 3AM with Maija from the Finland office. Socialising at company head office events (where wives/dp were invited) required me to go along with the charade that these were happily married/faithful men. I couldn't do it - felt complicit somehow - so avoided the wives, or had minimal contact.

If my DH bought me expensive jewellery I'd be more worried that he'd taken to robbing banks

OrmIran: LOL

Same Earlybird. When I was in my twenties my evil ex flatmate was bonking her boss and invited him and his wife to a party at our flat. It was excruciating - everyone there knew they were having an affair except the wife. They had 3 kids, one was a baby who he used to bring to the flat as he used the baby as cover to see my evil flatmate. They only stopped when the baby started to talk.

inane question alert Is she thin still?I haven't had cable tv for years and haven't seen her show.Is dr phil still on

So the lesson is this: smell bad, eat lots of food to get fat and wear ugly clothes. If you don't you will be a slapper?

I used to work in a hotel - there was a couple who came on business and always wanted the rooms with interconnecting doors - cos then when their spouses telephoned they could answer the phone in their own rooms and where always in their own hotel room!!

One spouse did though twig that the other was having an affair and turned up at the hotel - when they knocked on the hotel room door (they of course knew the number as it was thought they were miles away) the spouse answered and the connecting door was pen into the next room and the game was up.

They never came to stay again..... any of them.....

Oh, the things you must see in a hotel. I've heard some stories. One which really should have involved the police actually

Salla, we've had a debate (read massive argument! It was brilliant!) The word slapper was voted a big no-no on here, but we can do all the smelling bad, eating lots, and wearing ugly clothes we like

I started trying to lose weight, tone up and wear nicer clothes a few months after I had each of my DCs (four in all). I was just waking out of the postnatal fog and trying to reclaim myself as a human being instead of a brood mare - as I worked full time I needed to look at least respectable. XH always thought it meant an affair. Eventually I gave up trying to look nice, and looked forward to being fat and old so he would stop suspecting me. But he never did - in between commenting how unattractive I was. When I pointed out the inconsistency he just said some men have peculiar tastes.

Now I'm trying to get the energy back to reclaim my figure and self-confidence - and it's STILL not for some bloody bloke, it's just for me. "Because I'm worth it."

... oops, self pitying rant. Apologies.

Know exactly what Wandering Trolley means about the cake knife...

Oprah must have forgotten: go on holiday with another man (your dh's best friend to be exact) - with your dh's knowledge.

This is what some of my friends did. In fact they wanted me and my dh to go too, to make it look more like a "friends on holiday" situation.
