Is this a confession?

Not sure but I suspect this is a bit of a silly one - best friend is convinced her husband might be having an affair although she has no proof and has not found any evidence. Her husband is quite an unemotional type and a bit of a workaholic, he comes home regularly at the same time every day but he has a bit of a thing about not being contacted whilst at work because he is so busy. I think this is fair enough although friend goes thro phases of interpreting this as him having something to hide yet at other times she thinks this is fine.
Anyway friend told me that they had a conversation they other day when she said (half joking) i know what you are up to / about the other woman and he replied "Mummy knows nothing". She has taken this to mean that there is something to hide but he has hidden it so well she would never find the evidence.
My immediate reaction was that she was over reacting. She is a bit hormonal at the moment, although I am being diplomatic about how I tell her that I think she does not have anything to worry about. Based on this alone am I right that she is over reacting or should I be taking this more seriously?

yes except until this thread i was hoping it was a straight forward you are being a bit paranoid and hormonal/crazy but now maybe not so easy for me (she says, selfishly...)
lack of sex, the old chestnut since time began, the world over

Use of girls... yeeeuuuch! Patronising at best.
By the way, there are plenty of threads on here discussing oral sex, I don't think many of us require tips.

OP, I don't think it was a confession, I think you/your friend are reading too much into it.

Earlier, I didn't say that you or weirdo citygent were being inflammatory.
I think it is odd though that citygent appears to want to turn a thread about whether or not someone is having an affair into a lesson on oral sex.
Also, the "mummy knows nothing" line creeped me out. Can't quite explain why, sorry.

I once confided in a male friend that my partner didnt seem very happy and did he think he could be going off me... his response?

  • How often do you have sex?

Me - once or twice a day.

  • Then he's happy.

That was it.

foureleven · 11/06/2010 14:36

Because no man should refer to his wife as mummy!

And it seems a bit passive agressive as well.

I must just point out that I dont go in for 'all men think...' 'and all women think...'

Was just interested in citygents candid approach to advice of the male viewpoint.

Maybe citygent you should start some threads of your own. people get a bit grumpy if you go off topic thats all.

andreaaa · 11/06/2010 14:39

Once or twice a day Foureleven??? I should think your man was quite simply sha**ed out!!

citygent sounds like a fairly standard and normal male city worker to me. in theory lecturing male posters as to politically correct thinking might work but i suspect it won't. that is just my experience having worked in the city. not all are like this but the majority of those I met were, thats life
