I'm cheating on girlfriend with my best mate's little sister – but I fear I'm going to be caught out soon

My best mate is sound — he'd never say anything to my girlfriend but he's saying I'm going to get caught out soon if I'm not careful DEAR DEIDRE I'm cheating on girlfriend with my best mate's little sister – but I fear I'm going to be caught out soon DEAR DEIDRE: HAVING great sex with two different women is something most men can only dream of. I'm sleeping with my girlfriend and my friend's little sister. Now, I've got to choose who I prefer as flitting between both women, constantly covering my tracks, is hard work. Advertisement I got myself into this when my girlfriend, who's 27, couldn't make it to my mate's birthday party at our local football club. Like me, he's 30, but on the night of the party, my girlfriend got home from her hairdressing job with a blinding migraine. She couldn't face the party so I went alone. I'd never met my friend's sister who is 24. She was attractive and confident and threw her arms around me, saying she'd, 'heard all about me'. She then walked me to the bar — where we stayed all evening — until she told me she wanted some air. I walked her outside and she kissed me. I know it was wrong but I enjoyed it so much and couldn't resist when she invited me back to hers after the party. Advertisement We've been meeting for regular sex since. But she's very manipulative and is putting pressure on me to break up with my girlfriend. I'm still having sex with my girlfriend but climaxing quicker because I'm thinking of my younger lover. I get butterflies in my stomach when a text comes through. My best mate is sound — he'd never say anything to my girlfriend but he's saying I'm going to get caught out soon if I'm not careful. And more importantly for him, that I'm messing his baby sister about and I need to sort myself out. Advertisement Spotting the signs your partner is cheating DEIDRE SAYS: You do. Cheating isn't fair but you know that. Maybe you need a break from both women to think this through. If you see a future with your girlfriend but your mate's sister is all about the sex, then it is only fair that you end things with your lover and tell her that casual sex isn't your style. Have a good think about your relationship and your own state of mind – be honest with yourself about why you strayed. If you know you're not ready to settle down, now's the time to be honest. Hurting at least one of these women is inevitable. If you decide you want your girlfriend but there's a chance she'll find out, you'll have to confess and beg her forgiveness. My leaflet, Torn Between Two Women?, will help you. Advertisement Get in touch with Deidre Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays. Send an email to deardeidre@ You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page. SCARED TO TELL PARENTS I'VE QUIT­ DEAR DEIDRE: I TRAINED to be a teacher but I'm going to let my family down when I tell them I'm quitting the profession. I've got a friend who manages a restaurant for a chain. The money is good and they have a great training scheme. She told me to apply to work in a sister restaurant because their assistant manager was leaving, so I sent off my CV, had an interview and I got the job. I'm really looking forward to starting this summer. I've gone off teaching because there seems to be less time in the classroom and more doing mountains of paperwork. I hate it. I'm a 24-year-old man and the only one in my family to get some good qualifications. Advertisement I'm worried about my parents' reaction. DEIDRE SAYS: Most parents have a dream of their children having successful careers – but it's not their life. The important thing is you settle into a career which makes you happy. Your teaching degree will never be wasted. Go for the new job and see how you get on. If this is more you, then great but if not, you can always go back to teaching or even something different in the education field. My support pack called Standing Up For Yourself will help you to talk with your family, but remember, how you want to live your life is up to you. Advertisement TELLING NEW BLOKE HE IS BAD IN BED WAS BAD IDEA DEAR DEIDRE: I THINK I've ruined my relationship by informing my gorgeous hunk of a boyfriend that he's no good in bed. I didn't put it quite like that, of course, but I explained what I didn't like and what to try instead. He didn't like me telling him what to do at all. I'm 28 and I've had other sexual partners who haven't hit the spot so I've told them and they've been fine with it, but this guy had the opposite reaction. He's very good-looking and he's been out with plenty of women before. I was surprised that he seemed sexually inexperienced with women. DEIDRE SAYS: If his ego is that inflated then I'd suggest he might not be the man for you. But he may not have ever been told he's not hitting the mark and it's great that you said something. If you're still together, find a quiet moment to talk to him about the sex side of things. Choose a time when you're not in bed. Explain that you didn't mean to upset him but thought it would be better for him to know what works for you. Talking openly about sex will bring you closer. Rather than saying, 'Don't do that', say something along the lines of, 'I love to be touched there' and guide his hands. My support pack called Understanding Female Pleasure explains more. HOW DO I SHARE THAT MUM'S GAY? DEAR DEIDRE: THE thought of telling my boyfriend that my mum is gay is really stressing me out. I'm a girl of 19 and Mum is 50. Her partner is 48 and lives with us. They've been together since my mum split up with dad five years ago. I wasn't happy at the time but my friends were all great about it, so I've learnt to live with it. My boyfriend's parents are much older. While he is 22, his father is 70 and his mum is 61. Advertisement They have very old-fashioned views about same-sex relationships – I've heard them when gay people kiss one another on the telly. My boyfriend seems to be a 'live-and-let-live' sort of guy but we've only known one another for five months. Every time he's been over to my house, it's when my mum is away because she visits my nan a lot. He's asked about my parents and I tell him they are divorced – but it's never come up in conversation that Mum now lives with a woman. I'm worried he may have the same views as his parents and he'll move on when he finds out. Advertisement DEIDRE SAYS: When he finds out, or you tell him, you'll know whether this guy is right for you. You haven't lied to him but the longer you ignore this, the bigger the issue will become. Simply choose a quiet time to share this information. There's a very good chance he doesn't agree with his parents' views from what you've said about his personality, and his parents don't get a vote about your family dynamics.

'Mushroom Killer' Erin Patterson's warped mind from 'Satanic' wall to cancer deceit

Mum-of-two Erin Patterson invited her in-laws over for a meal before launching her sick plan. Mother-of-two Erin Patterson poisoned her parents-in-law, Don and Gail Patterson and her estranged husband's aunt and uncle, Heather and Ian Wilkinson, after inviting them all over for lunch. Patterson, who has today been found guilty of murder, served up a dish of beef wellington, mashed potatoes and green beans at her home in the town of Leongatha, in Victoria, Australia on July 29, 2023. ‌ While the four relatives ate their meals on four large, grey dinner plates, Patterson, 50, instead opted for a smaller, tan-coloured plate. Visibly different enough, the prosecutors would later allege, that the killer didn't risk accidentally ingest the poisonous mushrooms she had mixed into the food, r eports the Mirror. ‌ Within hours Don and Gail, both 70, Heather, 66, and Ian fell gravely ill, suffering vomiting and diarrhoea after finishing their Saturday lunch at Patterson's large suburban home. Mere days later, three out of the four lunch guests had sadly died following an agonising ordeal, with Ian only pulling through after undergoing a liver transplant. It's a case that has shocked people across the globe, with the grim details offering a disturbing insight into the warped mind of the notorious 'Mushroom Killer'. Husband's close escape On the day of the deadly gathering, a fifth guest had also been invited, but chose to decline - Patterson's estranged husband, Simon Patterson. reports that civil engineer Simon had declined the invitation just the night before, stating via text that he felt 'too uncomfortable'. ‌ Jurors heard how Patterson and Simon had initially remained pals following their 2015 separation, working to maintain an amicable co-parenting relationship, and would regularly attend the same family events. However, reports that things took a turn towards the end of 2022, due to financial disputes. Facebook messages shared under the username Erin ErinErin show Patterson venting her frustration against her in-laws, whom she had reportedly turned to for help. ‌ Expressing frustration over Don and Gail's apparent reluctance to involve themselves in the marriage breakdown, Patterson wrote: 'I'm sick of this s*** I want nothing to do with them. I thought his parents would want him to do the right thing, but it seems their concern about not wanting to feel uncomfortable and not wanting to get involved in their son's personal matters are overriding that so f*** em.' Cancer deceit Sole survivor Ian later opened up about his memories of sitting down for the fatal family meal, remembering how Patterson had announced that she'd been diagnosed with a "life-threatening" form of cancer, and was struggling to find the words to tell her kids. ‌ Ian, a Reverend, recalled: 'Erin announced that she had cancer. She said that she was very concerned because she believed it was very serious, life-threatening. She was anxious about telling the kids." The compassionate group had been so concerned for Patterson that they prayed for her over their food, oblivious to the fact it had been laced with deadly death cap mushrooms, also known as Amanita phalloides. ‌ Speaking in court, Patterson admitted that she had lied about having cancer, as she'd been too 'embarrassed' to discuss her recent weight-loss surgery. While under questioning from her lawyer, Colin Mandy SC, Patterson confessed: 'Not proud of this, but I led them to believe I might be needing some treatment … in regards to [ovarian cancer] in the coming weeks and months. They all showed a lot of compassion about that … Ian said, 'Why don't we pray for Erin?' and so that's what we did. I did lie to them.' She added, 'I was ashamed of the fact that I didn't have control over my body or what I ate. I was ashamed of that, I felt embarrassed. I didn't want to tell anybody, but I shouldn't have lied to them.' ‌ Hours of agony Following the meal, Don, Gail, Heather, and Ian began exhibiting severe symptoms, and, sadly, their conditions continued to deteriorate at an alarming pace in the hours afterwards. The victims were left in agony, with vomiting and diarrhoea, comparable to symptoms seen during a cholera outbreak, resulting in extreme dehydration, and ultimately, their vital organs shutting down. According to the Daily Mail Australia, as their bodies worked to preserve blood supply to their brains and hearts, blood flow to the victims' kidneys would have dramatically reduced, stopping them from working properly and leading to excruciating cramps. ‌ As well as this physical agony, it's feared the victims would have also had to endure "the existential pain of realising that their livers were melting down in an unstoppable manner". Although doctors would have strived to manage their pain in the hospital, this would have been a cruel way to go, and a tragic death for loved ones to witness. ‌ Speaking through tears before the jury, Simon recalled seeing his parents hooked up to IV drips at Korumburra Hospital. He remembered: 'Dad was substantially worse than Mum. He was really struggling. He was lying on his side, he was hunched quite noticeably. His voice was strained in a way that was … he wasn't right inside. He was feeling pain.' Tragically, sisters Gail and Heather passed away from liver failure on Friday, August 4, 2023, while Don died the following day. Ian spent seven weeks in hospital but somehow he survived the horror ordeal. Now, a leading US expert on amatoxin poisoning has alleged that the group were doomed from the start, on account of Australia's reportedly outdated use of the milk thistle-based drug silibinin. ‌ This medicine works by flushing poison out through a person's kidneys - a measure which the expert argues would have been "almost useless" in this case. Speaking with the Mail Online, the medic, who went only by the name Dr L, remarked that Australian doctors, unfamiliar with such rare instances, had to rely on 'past wisdom' around silibinin, which would have been no help once severe dehydration resulted in organs shutting down. Dr L commented: 'They went from sick to catastrophic in a short space of time. The very rapid progression from ingestion to death is characteristic of cases where early low urine output acute kidney injury has occurred, and intravenous volume replacement has been inadequately aggressive. ‌ 'Or it has been interrupted, or there has been a restricted maintenance of IV hydration following admission to hospital. I don't know what occurred, and what the physicians, who must have desperately tried to save these people's lives, must have gone through. I have no knowledge of the management details, and I haven't seen medical records." 'Satanic' death wall In August 2023, a decorator claimed that Patterson had an eerie "death wall" in her home, covered with Satanic graffiti. In an interview with Daily Mail Australia, the tradesman alleged that he'd been hired to remove graffiti, which includes images of grave stones, decapitated heads, and daggers, as well as creepy lines of text scrawled in red and black ink. ‌ These dark messages supposedly read, "You are dead by the sword" and "You will die within a year". Describing the "disturbing" scribbles as "Satanic", the anonymous worker told the publication: "They were done by their (the Pattersons') daughter. It is pretty disturbing for mum to let the kids draw on their dining room wall." Lies over mushrooms After tests were conducted on lunch leftovers recovered from Patterson's bin, it became clear that at least some of the food contained the toxin from death cap mushrooms, which are found growing beneath oak trees throughout the south Melbourne region. The question remained as to whether they had deliberately been put there, and whether Patterson had intended for her in-laws to die. ‌ Patterson pleaded not guilty, but did accept that death cap mushrooms had been baked into the individual Beef Wellingtons. She argued that the three deaths were a result of a tragic accident and that she hadn't meant to harm anyone. However, her web of lies quickly unravelled under scrutiny. As initially claimed by Patterson, she had purchased dehydrated mushrooms from an Asian supermarket in Melbourne; however, she couldn't remember precisely where she had bought them from. At first, Patterson denied she had foraged for wild mushrooms or that she had her own food dehydrator to dry these out. But she later confessed both to foraging for mushrooms and to owning a dehydrator. ‌ Children's loyalty The Mail Online has previously revealed that Patterson's two children have continued to visit her behind bars while she awaited trial, unable to accept that their mother was capable of ruthlessly slaying their grandparents and great-aunt. During trial breaks, Patterson could be heard enquiring about her children, even asking one woman to make sure her now 16-year-old son had "extra hugs". The jury also saw video testimony from Patterson's children, who cannot be named for legal reasons. The pre-recorded police footage, filmed August 16, 2023, shows the children recalling eating beef Wellington leftovers the day after the now notorious lunch. ‌ The Guardian reports that Patterson's daughter praised her mother as a 'very good cook'., while her son stated that the eye-fillet beef used in the dish was 'some of the best meat I've ever had'. The teenager went on to state that the relationship between his parents was 'very negative', telling officers that his father 'does a lot of things to try and hurt' his mother. Both children asserted that they did not know their mother to forage for mushrooms, while Patterson's son remembered her photographing a mushroom during a walk in Korumburra Botanic Gardens back in 2020. He added that he believed she'd taken a picture because she 'thought they looked nice'. Patterson will be sentenced at a later date.
