If you don’t mind my asking, did you stay with your husband after he found out? Did he eventually fulfil your needs better than he was when you cheated?

Every dayyyyy!!! Listen to an upbeat ‘I’m awesome’ type song. Have something nicer than usual for breakfast. Wear something cuter than necessary... Sometimes if I'm having one of those days I buy myself a little something cheap but nice like a bath product or some such

Ugh yes!! I complained about this on SNS in the context of feeling bad that I have a crush on someone even though I’m married. Husband works super hard every evening after the usual working hours and I work more than one job plus studying quite a hard course via distance learning.

I'm so sorry. That sounds so hard and heart-breaking. Good luck and I hope things work out for the best (cliche cliche I know but I wanted to say something!) xxx

Yeah Mr Leica also enjoys this and I'm fine with it. I think I actually suggested it the first time :s but I wouldn't do it with a guy who I wasn't 100% sure respected me. Not because there's anything wrong with it (or women that do do it with new partners) but just because that's how I feel - it's hot if it's a…

No probably not... I guess I’ve found I got a bunch of male friends ‘free’ with my husband :p but I have to make close female friends (more than just friendly - like best friends) myself more, which I don’t find as easy as when I was younger. But of course some people are much better at it than me

I think that could be said about some women who have no female friends at all... But often times you have (or rather, I have) female friends from when you were younger, but making new friends in your mid-20s onwards is really hard, whereas finding a date there’s loads of help for like Tinder, Match, speed-dating etc…

Seconded! I worked out that I make about 1 good, lasting friendship per workplace/educational establishment since I grew up. Which is pretty terrible. I'm sure I could find a bunch of guys to have sex with though. Not in a braggy way either - most women could. Not just hotties like moi :p

Good for you! I think as you say it is quite novel to some people, and even if you’re 100% supportive of LGBT rights you can sometimes get things wrong or misunderstand why something is important purely through ignorance of the topic. I hate to think of alienating someone I’m close to by accident (eg by using the…

That was a really interesting response for someone like me who doesn’t have personal experience of trans life or issues. My first thought was that you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place really - being beautiful and/or feminine shouldn’t be the most important thing in the world, but if trans women don’t go down…

June 18 is my parents’ dog’s birthday too. Make of that what you will

You, sir/madam, are a delight

Well now im pregnant

‘Mum stop feeding me that gross stuff and bring me a green bean’

Thank you for your advice and for not being really judgey! I had crushes like that all the time as a teenager that never went anywhere but we’re just for fun. Something about being an adult and the fact that it’s for one particular man was making me feel really conflicted about it...

Thanks, I will give that a try... I was feeling too guilty to do that before because it feel like ‘mind cheating’ (if that’s a thing!). I actually think this crush has a lot to do with not feeling noticed all the time by my husband. It’s not his fault - people are busy sometimes and you don’t spend every minute trying…

Thanks! That's a helpful way to look at it and doesn't make me feel like such a terrible person... I saw the guy today so I think I'm feeling kind of stirred up about it right now, but hopefully I'll just feel silly tomorrow for making a deal out of nothing.

Ugh I fucking hate ted with a passion! Whose idea was it to make him the lead?! At least Ross was just one sixth

We’re trying! That or Downton Abbey

I remember those books! I remember the period bit freaking me out somewhat as it was a few years before I started mine... Loved them though. Feeling a bit nostalgic (for the books, emphatically not for my first period which was a bloody nightmare, pun intended, obv) now.
