Evening All! I am happily married with one ds now but back in my uni days I was very promiscuous and did sleep with over 100 men roughly. I used to have to get really pissed to have the confidence to approach anyone (mainly due to being fat). I was lonely and although I had made some friends, I wanted a boyfriend too and in my warped mind sleeping with someone and being wanted for all of 30 mins or if I was lucky, the whole night was the next best thing.
I lived with 6 male housemates at the time who were appalled my behaviour. I did have threesomes/forsomes (and a fivesome too I think!) which was what pushed them into really despising me. One night I brought someone back, he went then I went back out and brought someone else back. It is shocking and I was out of control but those housemates were so vile.
I ended up recently sending a message to one of them on facebook. I wanted an apology but have today come home to this
"It has been a long time - 13 years in fact, which i why suddenly recieving this from you scares me that you have gone to the lengths to find me. Obviously some deep seated resentment there that you probably need to get off your chest/deal with through professional help. Either way - yes behaviour to you may not have been entirely appropriate, but my did you deserve it. Hoping to find brother figures? WHy on earth? I cannot imagine why you, a second year, felt the need to take a room with six male 4th year students. Most 2nd years got digs with friends they made in the 1st year...!!!! To refute some of your allegations about us. 2 of us had girlfriends, neither of them cheated on them. The rest of us, me included, enjoyed a significantly lower level of "single life" than you did - as you said it's what people do at uni...mainly with students met at the Student's Union", though, not with sailors they pick up in Joanna's night club. While I am all for enjoying the single life, both for men and women - you took it to such an extreme. 2 guys in one night I recall...one at about 1030 and then you going back out to bring another one back! Another stealing my bike from the hall! I hope my thoughts about the way YOU behaved are clear. I may have been a little immature back then and yes, 13 years is a long time. But do I have any regrets/would I behave differently to such a prolific enjoyment of the single life as yours now - I doubt it. I trust that I will not hear form you again."

I feel so gutted and worthless, just like I did then. I sincerely regret raking up the past. I am trying to understand now WHY I behaved so badly and try and reconcile the past but am having trouble.
Any thoughts? Do I just need to accept that i was a total slut back then??

Cheekymonk - been reading your thread with interest as there are things in it I can relate to. Given some of the comments though on here I don't want to post my story on the forum. It would be good to have a chat in private though can you message me?

Crikey, this thread.

cheekymonk, if someone I'd met at university more than a decade ago tracked me down out of the blue, emailed me and asked for an apology, I would be utterly astounded and quite nervous for my own safety. However they phrased their email. It is just not a sane, measured thing to do.

Reading through some of the thread (yes, I got tired), it's pretty clear that being a 'slut', as you put it, is about the only aspect of your behaviour that anyone could defend. As is demonstrated by all the people commenting that you've perfect right to sleep with however many people you like. But I'm pretty sure at this point that you asked that question solely because, deep down, you realize that nothing else you did can be defended in the same way.

northeast sorry am not on the CAT thing yet but will sort it out. I'm not surprised you don't want to post on here, not sure if I would have if I had known the outcome! xx

Hi Cheekymonk,

Wow you certainly stirred up a lively debate on this thread ;)
Seriously though I understand the need to have something in the past niggling away at you and its obviously something that you felt you had to address, but please move on from it now, you've obviously turned your life around, thats good isn't it? at least you haven't gone through the last 13 years exhibiting the same kind of behaviour, at least you recognise it wasn't the right way to behave and you have now moved on. Seriously leave your house mate and everything else that happened well and truly in the past, think about what you have got now and your wonderful future with you DH and DC.

I don't think he's a jerk or any of the other names he's been called on here. After sending that e-mail to him after 13 years what sort of response did you seriously expect.

I don't know why you think he should apologise - did you ever apologise to them?

WhiteVixen · 09/02/2019 15:09

This thread is from 2010, let’s hope the OP has moved on from it all now...

SilverySurfer · 09/02/2019 15:42

Damn - I usually check thread dates. Why the fuck do people dredge up 9 year old threads? What's the point? The Op may no longer be on MN and even if she is she doesn't need you to tell her she was a slut 22 years ago!

merville · 09/02/2019 20:50

@redpilled - fk off back to whingey, many, "i can't get a nice virgin to iron my shirts and make me home cooked meals, feminism has ruined it for men blah blah moan moan, whine, whine" land - there are a million forums for you to circle jerk with your fellow 'red pillers' elsewhere on the web, why do you feel the need to infect Mumsnet with your claptrap.

Oh and for the record, a man's no if partners affects his likelihood of divorce too; but red pullers always manage to ignore that part, conveniently.

merville · 09/02/2019 20:51

*pillers - ironic autocorrect given your actual problem is that you can't pull.

merville · 09/02/2019 20:52

Oh FFS zombie thread

Redpilled · 10/02/2019 11:53

@merville Your right it is a zombie thread, my bad.
But I will reply to your comments without all the venom you seemed to want to throw at me.

  1. Who wants a virgin? I didn't, but there is a spectrum between an experienced woman and a slut.
  2. Your right that the higher numbers of partners increase the likelihood of divorce for both sexes, but with the woman initiating 70% of the divorces then that starts to be an issue for a lot of men.

I suppose it depends what you're looking for, would I date and have sex with a slut? If I am honest then I would say yes to that as sluts do tend to be better in bed but would I want to marry and have kids with a slut? Well no. If a man wants a woman as a life partner then anything that can increase the odds of success should be evaluated and the number of partners is part of that evaluation. It's not about sex, it's about finding the best life match.
n.b. Please don't tell people to fuck off as that sort of thing gets reported and people end up being banned.

You can't expect him to give you the answers OP. Have you tried counselling? Thanks
