Friday night out with some mates, get introduced to a girl, she's nice, funny normal ( not mother obsessed harpy: rare) is a dental nurse, all cool, we're texting it's "nice".
Fast forward to Sat, in costa drinking out of silly small cup trying to be sophisticated, couple of texts back and forth to the nurse all looking good, in walks Ex looking super hot, we talk, it's ok, she's a bit flirty, she's going to party, some mutal friends why don't I come along... Like a tit I say "oh, ok then"
Wake up Sunday...( you can guess where) phone going with texts...
Why does this shit happen to me? I need a holiday
Holiday is good! How have you left things with the nurse?
You are young, and allowed to behave like this. This is not a problem, it's life. Write if off to youthful indiscretion, it's not like you had asked the nurse to marry you or anything. Or you woke up in jail. Or borrowed £20k off her.
If you are still behaving this way at 45 then you might get a telling off from me.
P.S and get it while you can.
Pictures or it didn't happen (c'mon, this is stw, someone had to say it 🙂 )
It's happened a million times before, it'll happen millions of times again. No harm done as such - from what you say, you've not even gone out with 'nurse' yet, have you?
Thanks binners 😆
Aleigh, I was supposed to see her yesterday, cried off in the end. Guilty conscious. She's texted me this morning asking if I'm ok;( told her I was poorly)
Fml
Why does this shit happen to me?
Same reason it happens to everyone else!
Hook up with the new girl, it'll give you a reason not to sleep with the X.. If you want one that is.
But if it's early days still you shouldn't feel guilty 🙂
I just hear the conversation in my head
Her: what did you get up to sat night
Me: oh nothing much ( whille I turn a nice shade of red) and start of a possible nice new thing/ friend with a bunch of fibs i need help.
just fess up and cringe a bit..
there's no point going into something painting an inaccurate picture..
Sometimes fibs are needed.. As long as you don't do it again you're clear.
molgrips, I'm disappointed in you
that's not very wholesome
Good point. In that case just be open and honest with her, if it's meant to be it's meant to be.
[i]Why does this shit happen to me?[/i]
Well, strictly speaking, it doesn't happen 'to you', you do it; no-one made you play nurses and nurses with your ex on Saturday night, you chose to.
But yeah, you're young, you're single, it doesn't really matter.
I wish my life was like a Hollyoaks episode
At best it's like a dull episode of bargain hunt
Theres no reason all 3 of you couldn't be good friends.
Hell,you could all take a bath together and soap each others backs and it wouldn't mean a thing cos you're just friends.
Any other listeners got any ideas that 3 friends could get up to together?
Obviously there's a sleep over........
just fess up and cringe a bit..there's no point going into something painting an inaccurate picture..
I am all for truth and honesty in a relationship [ you dont have one yet] but serioulsy WTF are you thinking of giving advice like that out...you should join her on the naughty step.
Learn from it or carry on doing this for a few years, your choice
Dont tell the nurse you were busy with your ex and pretended to be ill- FFS we all know what she will do and she does not need to be hurt in the process IMHO. Different rules if you were actually dating
i'm failing to see why it's shit?
You don't need a holiday , . . you need catch up/play again
......a bunch of fibs i need help.
You could try telling her the truth - she might appreciate your honesty, and after all you haven't yet progressed beyond 'nice chats'. Of course you need to emphasize saturday night convinced you that you no longer want to be involved with ex, and for that reason it was a worthwhile experience.
Honesty is the best policy and relationships based on lies does not lead to happiness, and since there was no commitment at this stage she should not have a serious problem with what happened on saturday. If she has, now is probably a good time to move on - over-possessiveness and jealously are not good traits.
IMHO
That sounds like some kind of grim job interview question doesn't it. "If you were a TV show, what TV show would you be ?". Mind you it beats the Biscuit one. Was at a training course last week and this was offered as a possible question for which we should prepare. I smirked and said "an expensive one". Teenager next to me smirked even more and said "soggy". Neither of which were acceptable answers, so we failed the Personality Test. But ask a stupid question.
Sorry, anyway, back to Emz..
molgrips, I'm disappointed in youthat's not very wholesome
I too am all for honesty and openness, anything else is just a disaster that's already happened imo. But in this case, the fact that emsz slept with her ex has no bearing on the nurse so there's no benefit in telling her - that is IF it's a one off mistake that's going to be written off.
If on the other hand she wants to keep both on the go at once or finds herself unable to resist the ex, then it's time to be honest since those things will have a big impact on those involved.
relationships based on lies does not lead to happiness
Yes, but this is hardly basing a relationship on lies, is it?
play nurses and nurses
nice one
The main problem seems to be that you were in costa drinking out of silly small cup trying to be sophisticated. It never ends well, that. If you'd just gone to the pub for a few pints, this whole thing could have been avoided. Let that be a lesson to you 😀
relationships based on lies does not lead to happiness
Just an ever-so-slightly over the top description of what Emsz has actually done there methinks
Easy...
"what did you get up to saturday night"
"I bumped into my Ex and it kind of messed with my head a little, I'm sorry I didn't tell you at the time but I needed some time to sort out some old feelings. You seem like a really nice person and I think its time I moved on..."
It could work meehaja, but it's a bit of a gamble I'd say.. She might be opened up by the trust, or she might think 'uh oh, stay away'.
Maybe visit www.dentalnursetrackworld.com for a spot of lurking, see what you can sniff out 😉
Just an ever-so-slightly over the top description of what Emsz has actually done there methinks
It wasn't a description of what Emsz has done - she is clearly not even involved in a relationship with the nurse at this stage.
It was a statement of fact, although based on my opinion.
emsz.... i'm still waiting on your to confirm if you're going to be yeti's +1 at my weddingything saturday. dont let me down know! 8)
[i]Pictures or it didn't happen[/i]
It really was a teeny tiny cup, there's hardly anything in them...
Honesty... Hmmmmm, right.
Her: what did you do sat night?
Me: shagged my ex for old times sake
Her: this is the same ex you dumped because she couldn't decide what she wanted and was sort of using sex as a bit of a control
Me: er...
Why don't I have any willpower?
Is there a drug I can take to make me resistant to Ex's??
Yes it's called dental nurse
To be fair ernie, saying relationships based on lies does not lead to happiness, is like saying structural engineering based on blamanche might possibly be a tad unsound 😉
Not really relevant here though is it. The fact that she's feeling so guilty suggests that Emsz may have figured this out already
Chalk it down to experience Emsz, and ....
DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!!! 😀
Just remember that they tend to be ex's for a good reason. The new one sounds promising. Don't let this ruin it eh?
[i]Why don't I have any willpower? [/i]
You do, you choose not to use it
[i]Is there a drug I can take to make me resistant to Ex's?? [/i]
See above.
I thought emsz was going to be recommending a new EP by a band called My Life.
I'm so out of touch.
Her: this is the same ex you dumped because she couldn't decide what she wanted and was sort of using sex as a bit of a control
Have you been unloading all your problems concerning your ex and sex with her onto this dental nurse ? How boring. Try to find something else to talk about 💡
like bikes?
Does this stuff really happen on Hollyoaks?
<makes mental note to put Hollyoaks on series record>
My 2p. Come clean without getting too gory about it. 'Went to a party, had too much to drink, my ex was there and got a bit carried away.... now really annoyed with myself because I don't do that sort of thing'
If D-N can't handle the fact that single youngsters occasionally do stuff they probably shouldn't, she might not be a great choice in future either. FFS she's a nurse, I should think her bedpost looks like a Guiro, the number of notches on it. She'll laugh, you'll blush, the credits will roll and that'll be it.
Your ex is an ex, so just be freinds and stick with the dental nurse, youll get discount when you need releif for toothache. 😯
Things happen in relationships, and so nice to see lady on lady reltionships being talked about so openly, oh how the world has come on in the last 10 years.

Welcome to being a man. Lie, lie and lie some more as you are not exclusive yet? Why feel bad, for all you know she might have been being naughty with someone else.
Honesty is the best policy and relationships based on lies does not lead to happiness, and since there was no commitment at this stage she should not have a serious problem with what happened on saturday. If she has, now is probably a good time to move on - over-possessiveness and jealously are not good traits.
o-one made you play nurses and nurses with your ex
Tsk. Why not "doctors and doctors"?
She might be opened up by the trust
Of course who , on embarking on a relationship with someone, would not warm to them telling them they lied about saturday night in order to sleep with an ex..its the only way trust can start
That is beyond fairly tale stuff please dont do that
meehaja gives the best advice IMHO
Willpower involves training like anything - resist and build up your strength
I really miss being young sometimes.
Probably best to confess if she asks, but if she doesn't ask I wouldn't drop myself in it.
Everyone's a winner, eh?
Life like an episode of 'Last of the Summer Wine', btw.
Of course who , on embarking on a relationship with someone....
What "relationship" ? They've had a nice chat and exchanged a few texts. Apparently. Let's keep things in perspective eh ?
I'm appointing theotherjonv as my lifestyle guru. 8) I reckon that's a go-er.
Project; just friends.... Nice idea, I don't think it's ever gonna be like that with her. Time to be a bit honest I think
Ask her if she'd be interested in a three way with you and your [s]ex[/s] close friend.
[i]Welcome to being a man[/i]
How does that work?
Well DezB, doing things based on what's going on between your legs without thinking about the consequences seems to be a particularly male trait. Although not confined to the male species, I might add.
Most guys wouldn't think twice about sleeping around a little if they weren't exclusive but they'd sure as hell not tell a good potential partner because most of the time the girl will A) Get jealous and dismiss further advances B) Dismiss you as a bit of a player.
without thinking about the consequences
😥
nobody ever thinks of the consequences
😉emsz - Member
I just hear the conversation in my headHer: what did you get up to sat night
Me: oh nothing much, I, er, wasn't feeling myself. ( whille I turn a nice shade of red)
When I get a stirring between my legs I always think of the consequences.
Cheers for the pics on the stw thread, now I can keep it real 😉
I didnt think there were actual consequence[u]s[/u] just yet. Presently it is just a consequence and his fiance??
imagine me, nothing but a short skirt and a sleeveless top, clear oily stains showing that i've recently vaselined my nips. that should do the trick
you're welcome x
EDIT - imaginary fiance! nobody on this website has real life partners.
see what you can sniff out
I snorted, but then I am a bad man!
Just remember dental nurses are pretty hot on the oral scene
Been seeing this woman for a few dates, it's going really well, she's lovely bit older than me, good job nice car, lush. We've been meeting in this out of town pub, she doesn't want to run into work friends, fair enough, I've got no problem, turn up a bit early last night, see her car in the car park, its dark, she can't see me coming over, do the whole surprise thing, pulling the car door open, big shock, laughs, all fine.
Then I see it on her finger. Is that a wedding ring?
I got the bus home. I'm such a loser
Why are you the loser? Not your fault that someone has been less than honest.
She's the loser, you've not done anything wrong in this situation.
Maybe time for some more ex sex?!
John Betjemen was asked at the age of 77 just weeks before he died if he had any regrets. He wished he'd had more sex. See hels earlier comment.
Who would've thought it... women can be conniving bitches too.
I'm not married emsz.
[i]Is that a wedding ring? [/i]
Was it? Did you ask?
Then I see it on her finger. Is that a wedding ring?
wonder if the husband would have minded 8)
i think emsz would've minded, she's not into willies
IHN yeah I did, and yeah it was. Got a whole sob story about unhappy marriage.
Splendid thread, most of what you're agonising over is people doing what people do.
Chalk it up to experience, get your dancing shoes on and dance...
That sucks.

Obviously you referred her to Relate, in true STW fashion?
Was she an STW'er?
"have you considdered a gay phase?" crops up on the "I hate my relationship" threads fairly frequently.
Obviously you referred her to Relate, in true STW fashion?
I thought that standard protocol was to advise a long mucky ride?
The other thing that occurs to me is the slightly odd situation of middle aged men giving relationship advice to emsz..
It's like me ringing up Bradley Wiggins and asking for advice on knitted cushion covers; I'm sure he'd do his best and I would accept the advice he offered, but still...
The other thing that occurs to me is the slightly odd situation of middle aged men giving relationship advice to emsz..
Why is it odd? A relationship is a relationship irrespective of the genders involved. Hiding the fact that you are married (i.e. telling a whopping great lie) is no way to treat anyone.
Emsz, you've done nothing wrong (quite the opposite in my view) and whilst you no doubt feel rubbish, you're by no means a loser.
Could be worse crikey. She could be asking for fashion advice.
I dread to think how that could end up
I'm not saying it's wrong; it's a nice thing to see and I'm sure we can offer some advice, it's just a bit out of the ordinary 🙂
Yes.. there's no question of emsz being a loser here. None at all.
[i]Could be worse crikey. She could be asking for fashion advice.[/i]
Well, my quiff won't stay where I want it to this morning, so any advice?
Molly, I know, but FFS is it sooo much to ask that I just meet someone nice? Not control freak, not dull, not Married!!!! Shameful, I feel a bit icky

You should try being in your thirties, shy, funny looking but with great abs.
Yup binners, that's like then and now for me... 🙁
I can remember having hair that wasn't grey. It's looking like I'm going to lose my contract binbins. Unless George greys up a but more. 😀

Like a clown in a gym? 😀
