I heard a rumor today

I went to the grocery store and heard an interesting rumor about myself.
Apparently on the weekends while my husband is away working I am cheating on him with different men including his best friend.
I know who started the rumor, I'm not surprised really. Apparently my "cheating" is common knowledge. I called DH and informed him about this, he thinks its pretty funny.
Now the question is do I ignore it? Since its common knowledge I'm guessing there's no point in trying to combat it.

Re: I heard a rumor today
Who's spreading the rumors?
How big is the town you live in? No one at my grocery store even knows who I am unless I Run into my coworker there, which is rare. I couldn't imagine ever hearing a rumor about me while grocery shopping.
Spill, who started it??? Also, since they are obviously full of sh*t I would just ignore it.
all of this, I'm having flashes of Mad Men...your town must be tiny! Poor bastards don't have anything better to do then talk trash...move on, it's not worth the High school drams....some people....
Given that your H has no concern about it whatsoever, it's not really causing you a problem, is it? In that case, I would ignore it entirely. Don't give them the satisfaction of a confrontation.
I'm guessing it's your crazy ILs, right?
I would ignore it. the person who started it just wants to rile you up and make you mad. your DH obviously isn't listening to the gossip and your friends would never believe it so why give her/him the satisfaction of a response?

My MIL is the head of the rumor.
She was telling the people at the fire house that they belong to during their last wing night and apparently everyone else she opens her mouth at.
I don't live in the area they do anymore but DH and I both grew up in it and only moved to this area (which is only 9 miles away granted) 6 months ago. We plan to move back since my parents and grandmother live there.
Apparently my dad had heard the rumor but didn't want to upset me right now with it.
You know. Which is awesome.

I think you must have the worst MIL ever, ever.
geez. unless your DH wants to lay a verbal smack down on her, I'd ignore it. if someone says something to you have a quippy reply, like "hm, guess the rumor spreader forgot to take her sanity pills when she came up with that one, ha ha".

This.
I'd throw in a Depends reference too.
Well, how do you think she got all those kids in the first place??? Methinks a trip to Maury is needed here.
J/K, Eddy.
the funny part is even if I did find the time with all of this.
Apparently I'm carrying on a torrid love affair with DH's best friend on the weekends (along with some other guys). DH's friend has neither a car or a license, on the weekends DH has the van. He lives 20 minutes away by car... I'm not entirely sure how we're accomplishing this.

I'm so sorry your dad had to hear that. I would be upset about that.
Are you and your H still in contact with her? If so, why?
In this situation I would just be a total ass...I would add to the rumor if I could, making it more and more ridiculous just to see how it spread. As in I would tell whoever started the rumor obnoxious crap and see how they spread it around. If she is hell bent on making you look bad she won't even question how obviously wrong the info is when she tells people if she just gets off thinking you look bad.
Example: You are thinking of getting a matching tattoo for you and all the kids; you are begging your H for a motorized chair with two side cars to get you around during the end of your pregnancy; you decided to be a surrogate after this baby is born to help out a friend you met on the internet. I can be obnoxious of course though.
Your MIL is shi.t-tastic.
+1
She hasn't seen the kids and I in over 6 months. I refuse to go around her because when she's not spreading rumors she's disregarding my parenting decisions. I know she's called Children & Youth (CPS) on me at least once when DD was 8 weeks old. But have heard that she's told people she has called other time... not sure if its true or she's trying to gather sympathy or something. She gets angry when we don't let her see the kids.
DH is in some contact because he works as a janitor for the fire house. FIL is the treasurer and MIL is the social director. So in short FIL pays him and MIL tells him when there are events that need to be cleaned and set up for.
I've asked him to quit but he sees it as extra money.

I think you should e-mail her and tell her to stop spreading rumors and that you have no need to cheat because her son gives you all the hot, sweaty, sexual satisfaction you could ever need.
This is my favorite. Except I'd say it to her face in front of all her friends.
"Hey, MIL. You know those rumors about me and your son's BFF? Totally untrue. Your son has the most amazing wang I've ever had the pleasure of sitting on. I would love to be sitting on it right now and spinning and maybe doing an occasional pelvic thrust, but instead I'm standing here looking at you and wondering how in the hell such a wonderful and well-hung man emerged from your cobweb-laden vagina.
Have a great day!"
YES, YES, YES!! DO THIS!! soooo facking funny. I can just picture this! priceless.

Lol, so I just saw your siggy. You have two kids and are due in a month but you're cheating on your H on the weekends? Seriously? Your MIL is crazy. I'm sure that it has happened before at some point at some time, but really, who has the time or the energy? Heck, I only have one little and am pregnant at the time and that is the last thing that would ever cross my mind even if I had a bit of free time, which I typically don't.
Well, I take that back. Unless cheating = a dependable, responsible person watching my children while I nap. Then I'd be totally down
You are too nice. I would have either said something along the lines of, "It's not cheating if H participates." Then I'd ask where they keep the lube. Or "Oh no! MIL must have forgotten her antipsychotics again. She just finished 50 Shades. Poor thing has such a hard time keeping track of what's real these days.FILis in denial and H just doesn't have the heart to commit her."
Sorry.
This!!! OMG, Fez, I think I love you!
If you do it, OP, please videotape and post!!!

Your MIL needs to hang out with my SIL.

Gah, Isa. You're such a hor. I bet you aren't even sure your kids are yours! lol.
I'm sorry your MIL is such a snatch. I think all you can do is just ignore her and move on. Anyone that you care about will look at you with your soon to be 3 kids under 3 and know she's just talking out of her ass.
LOL totally this!
This is my absolute fave response. MIL is looking for drama-give it too her!
LOL.
Right? lol
best answer!!
