Another secret thread

NEW SECRET (same secret-teller as above)

So, really weird update.

Like you guys suggested I did finally talk to him, and he was totally embarrassed as well and the first thing he said was “I hope I can count on your discretion.” So it all worked out but I am not going to risk that job again.

The really weird part is we ended up talking a while and we’ve been texting back and forth a lot, and he’s actually a really cool guy. So that is sort of happening.

“Grandma, tell us again how you and Grandpa met!”

Regards,
Shodan

Are you sure he doesn’t just want the service for free? :frowning: This is kind of creepy. Be careful.

I dunno. That one is starting to get to Penthouse Letters territory for me.

NEW SECRET

I had multiple affairs on my wife starting when we had been married for only 5 years. (We’re 25+ at this point.) It culminated in a 5 year affair with a married woman, it got bad, as in the husband beating on my car with a snow shovel, as in her calling my wife and telling her we’d just had sex, bad, bad, bad…so after a LOT of counseling, soul-searching and a LOT of forgiveness on my wife’s part, I completely ended it and went cold turkey with the extramarital activities…

About the same time that was ending, I was recruited for what has become a dream job for me, one of those career-culminating jobs that I worked so hard to achieve, and after 7+ years, it has been great…I mentor our younger colleagues, we create products in a great team atmosphere, and everyone looks at my wife and I as a marriage success story as they have absolutely no freaking clue what I put my wife through for 5+ years…not to mention the husband…we were so co-dependent and obsessed, it was bad and it cured me of ever wanting to put anyone - myself included - through that ever again…

I sit in meetings sometimes and think, man, what if they knew what a scumbag I used to be?

Frankly, you shouldn’t make this a secret and wear it as a badge of honor.

Sure, you were an asshole and did asshole-ish things, but you also learned through it and fought through it and you’re a success story that no matter how bad of a person you think you are, you can change and be a better one.

Congrats dude.

So what if he does? As long as everyone’s on the same page, what’s the issue? The secret teller was fine giving hand jobs for cash, why would she be upset by casual sex with someone she apparently likes?

Assuming this is true, of course. But I find it more entertaining to assume all the secrets here are true.

I know I’m not as up to speed with all you youngsters and your modern slang as I could be.

But is “texting” now just assumed to be the same as “having sex with?”

Or is that just the assumed natural cycle of life; as surely as the day follows the night, so too shall the sexing follow the texting?

At 50, I don’t know much about kids these days either, except that their incursions on my lawn grow deeper and more numerous with every passing year. But I assume the texting is meant to lead to meetings and dating and who knows where that will lead. I’m just saying if it does lead to sex, I don’t see the big deal, as long as everyone is on the same page.

She can give the guy HJ’s and not have to give the house a cut. PROFIT!

NEW SECRET

I really don’t understand the difference between libertarians, anarchists, and assholes.

The only difference is that Libertarians try and use logic. Anarchists are too worked up to try using logic and assholes don’t give a damn about any of it.

Does that help?

I think in a Venn diagram, anarchists would be entirely inside the asshole group, and libertarians would overlap about 90% with anarchists, but a tiny libertarian sliver might be outside the asshole group.

iiandyiiii, this isn’t in the spirit of this thread, is it?

Probably not, but I’m worried that if I start picking and choosing which secrets are appropriate than people will be less likely to send them in.

Alright, due to the last “secret” I just received, which I won’t be posting, I’ll no longer be posting secrets that don’t meet the spirit of the thread.

Nobody sets out to become an editor. :slight_smile:

Sorry. I was coming of a long shift. My impulse got the better of me. :o

Yeah, I don’t appreciate being lumped in with anarchists and libertarians, either.

This place is really something else.
