Hiya all, first time poster so please be gentle with me !

I'm not sure where to start to be honest, I’m a mid 30s married mum of 3, very happy in all aspects of my life. Loving husband, fantastic kids, enjoying life really.

A few weeks ago I noticed at school a new mum who id not seen before, probably my age she has a little boy in my daughters class so we kind of stand in the same area of the playground at pick up.

I’ve never seen her talk to any of the other mums, she arrives collects her son then leaves, nothing unusual about that I know.

The problem started about a week ago, I was waiting at pick up when I happened to look up and I saw her arrive. She had obviously spent some time getting ready as she looked extremely well presented. She’s usually in normal mum uniform lol messy bun, hoody (like me !) but on this particular day she was wearing a lovely long spotted dress, heals, hair down and wearing a lovely knee length black fur coat she looked amazing.

I couldn’t help myself but stare, she did briefly look at me catching me staring but a lot of the other parents where looking as well.

I couldn’t stop looking at her as discreetly as I could, our kids came out at the same time so we walked back to the car park together, but not “together” if you know what I mean my Daugher and I walked a few paces behind.

Ive never been so intrigued by another women before, but she looked so beautiful it made me feel rather uncomfortable as in I didn’t know how to manage it internally.

As I got my little one into the car, and got ready to leave we did again lock eyes across the car park, she gave me an awkward smile and I kind of waved back. I felt so embarrassed!

Ive seen her every pick up this week, but haven’t plucked up the courage to say hi! the coward I am I know. Yesterday afternoon she arrived again all made up, jeans, boots, shirt and the fur coat again.

I’ll be honest now, please don’t judge but I do have a thing for fur - I’ve not told my husband nor do I have the confidence to buy or wear one so I’m very much embarrassed to even say it out loud.

When I saw her though, my body physically tensed up I’m sure I went bright red as well it certainly felt like it !

I just want to make it clear I’m not a lesbian, I’m heterosexual and I love my husband so so very much.

What should I do ? Do I talk to her? Do I ignore the feelings ? Am I being selfish ? What do I hope to achieve ?

Help me guys please x

I’m sure she’s very glad of your humanness and your ice breaker, doesn’t sound like many have made her feel that welcome.

I’ll definitely enjoy it lol…..feel a little fruity my husband might well be in for a treat tonight when he comes home from work, and the kids are in bed lol

Okay you’ve made your view known, now please refrain from further comment.

Thanks

I'm sorry but so long as my comments don't breach MN guidelines I am allowed to comment.
I don''t understand why a dialogue between fashionistas on fur coats and throws etc is in the Relationships topic.

Well I’m back from school, we had a quick chat in the car park and as we walked round to collect the kids. We’ve also exchanged numbers, and added each other on social media.

I even built up the courage to ask her if I could touch the jacket she had on, the experience was out of this world - felt so wrong but exciting at the same time I’m definitely going to order a coat later the feeling was out of this world.

She did mention that her date the other night was a wash out, and that she regrets making the effort. I did (maybe a little forward) she he was a stupid man not returning the effort she put in to my shock she said he was a she not a he! That really took me by surprise and has got my mind racing I can’t stop thinking about her and I can’t wait to see her again on Monday maybe if my new coat arrive in time I’ll wear it see what she says lol

From being terrified this morning, I’m so high it’s amazing !

Move the thread from relationships to whatever thread caters for people that enjoy wearing the skin of dead animals.
Stop saying we shouldn't be reading it. Your title gives no indication that it is just a cry for validation for using the coat of a dead animal to meet your insecurities.
There is a reason the boards are divided into topics and subject areas. One of the reasons being is when we open threads thinking we might be able to offer some insight into a relationship, will not be fronted with a fetish about wearing dead animals fur.

No sweetie that belongs on a plate in a nice restaurant, high quality luxury fur should be used to create equally beautiful fur coats for women and men who can afford it to wear.

You’ve such lovely green eyes sweetie xx
