Almost made a huge mistake - what can I do?

mixedup · 10/03/2003 14:14

Am so ashamed of myself that i have changed my name for this...

Have been married for 5 years, together 7 years and have a good marriage except for one thing..Up till now have been sweeping the issue under the carpet but recently have been back in touch with my first ever boyfriend, there has always been an attraction between us and on Friday he told me that he really fancied me and wanted to take things further, I stupidly agreed, its been so long since anyone has made me feel this way, the temptation was overwhelming, i could not see straight, everytime i thought about it i would feel dizzy etc etc, after much thought today i decide to nip it in the bud before i made a huge mistake, i think he felt releived as he is also in a relationship, tho not married, no kids.

To get to the point, he unearthed feelings in me that i have squashed/ignored and now i do not know what to do...My dh and i get along really well but i do not fancy him in the slightest, he is more like a brother to me, great father and always puts us first, however (it hurts to say this) but he is lousy in the sack, too quick or non existant, it has always been this way and I niavely in the beginning thought it would get better. We have talked about it before and have never resolved it.

But now i cannot ignore it anymore, its really making me feel bad about my marriage and I am not sure what my options are, he will not go to the doctor or seek outside help, no-one else knows about it and I have reached the end of my tether and cannot bear to be in the same room never mind bed with him.

Sorry this is so long.

My DW knows I flirt and she is totally fine with it.

Mum2toby

Funny you should say that but I was due to come up to Scotland this weekend to see friends but it was cancelled.

Mixedup

Sounds like you have a full calendar already so do you really need me?

Breeze

I have my own camping and cycling kit but Portsmouth is a bit far for a quick cycle. I may have to charge extra for the time it takes to get there and back. Oh and nothing is that big, ego wise of course.

dcolagirl · 19/03/2003 10:39

SH, I think you are very brave.

This is all just a bit of fun so nottherealme, change threads!

mum2toby · 19/03/2003 10:44

Agree on both counts DC.

SH - really??....curiouser and curiouser.... where in Scotland ... roughly?????

mixedup · 19/03/2003 10:52

You know what they say SH, variety is the spice of life!

Sure I could open up a window for you!

So who's first then girls?!!!

DC can you only log on at work then? Will let you know how I get on!

This thread is FAB ... thanks for the laughs girls (and boys)

mum2toby · 19/03/2003 11:13

This is MUCH safer!!

Mixedup - Variety is DEFINITELY the spice of life... any more male Mumsnetters out there??

I'll go first... that means SH can work his way from North to South.... OOOOO ER!!

SimonHoward · 19/03/2003 11:25

Mum2toby

Edinburgh was where I was staying.

Talk about a marathon though, if I had to work my way south from mumsnetter to mumsnetter I'd be dead tired by the midlands and dead by Cornwall.

Mixedup

I love spice. But could I use the door not the window please as it is less likely to have the police chasing me if I do.

mixedup · 19/03/2003 11:43

OK SH, will have to be the back door, don't want the neighbours curtains twitching do we!

he he he!

OP posts:
dcolagirl · 19/03/2003 11:45

Mixedup, yes, unfortunately. Can only log on at work, unless I go to my sisters but then dh would want to come with me and there is NO WAY I could let him read this thread - remember how it started??!!!!

SimonHoward · 19/03/2003 13:18

Mixedup

I know it was suggested that things be spiced up but I had not got you pegged as a 'Backdoor' type of girl.

I'll have to get my little black diary out and see if I can fit you in then. LOL.

mixedup · 19/03/2003 13:26

What type of girl do you have me pegged as then?!!

OP posts:
SimonHoward · 19/03/2003 13:32

mixedup

I had you pegged as a front door sort of girl.

mixedup · 19/03/2003 13:41

ok ok don't say i didn't warn you, i have an esp nosey neighbour who lives opposite and would want to know all the details....

Am i first on your list then!

Can you handle the pace tho?

OP posts:
mum2toby · 19/03/2003 13:45

I go away for a few hours and you two are at it again without me!!! Humph!

With all this talk of backdoors and frontdoors I'm getting quite ....... prudish!
SH.... tut tut tut.... AM I right in assuming that Mixedup hasn't clicked on to what you mean?

Mixedup?? If you ARE the back door type then I'm quite happy to be the more convention front door type.... therefore, best of both!!!

SimonHoward · 19/03/2003 13:53

Mixedup

It seems like I have to start at the top and work downwards so Mum2toby is first.

You can be second though as no-one else seems to be interested in me. :-(

Mum2toby

I don't think she has just yet. Maybe we have a real innocent on our hands.

Hollandia · 19/03/2003 13:56

SimonHoward,
Will you consider a 'tour of Europe' after the UK? I live in Holland and start to feel a little 'left out' here...
(Love the way threads can change here.)

mariehoward · 19/03/2003 13:58

You sad bugger, Simon.

mum2toby · 19/03/2003 14:00

Can I send an appeal out to any other Male Mumsnetters to please come forward and offer your 'services'. Especially those in Europe as I think I'd like to keep SH to myself!

SH - Innocence??? What's that?

mum2toby · 19/03/2003 14:01

GASP......HORROR!!! Is Maria Simon's DW??????

mixedup · 19/03/2003 14:13

You lot!!!!

I am definatley a front door type of girl, thank you very much.

Maria if you are SH's DW then please keep your husband in check he is leading us all astray!

As you know from my earlier posts yes I am an innocent, but not for much longer at this rate!!!!

OP posts:
mixedup · 19/03/2003 14:14

Not sure i want mum2toby's seconds, so there!

OP posts:
SimonHoward · 19/03/2003 14:17

Mixedup and Mum2toby

I was as shocked as you to see this but the wife uses another chat name when she is on here (she isn't on that often) and when I just chatted to her she told me she was out of the house when this posting was left.

What a mystery.

SimonHoward · 19/03/2003 14:18

Mariehoward

would you care to tell me who you are?

mixedup · 19/03/2003 14:18

Think we have a troll?

OP posts:
SimonHoward · 19/03/2003 14:20

Hollandia

Never thought of a European tour.

I'll have to ask DW if she can spare me.

Especially with what was posted just now.
