That my husband has a brain tumour & I’m on here & not to mention that I’m still perving over my ex fwb.

Not my proudest moment.

At times we do what we do just to get through each day so yes to some it’s fucked up but to others it’s survival.

Chins up.

Very much so. Certain situations can push us in different unexpected ways. Remember you need to look after yourself too. It's not selfish to also be doing that.

As long as your husband is getting the attention and support he needs from you, nothing wrong with you enjoying some down time.

It's only an issue if you've got your priorities wrong.

Don't beat yourself up OP. You're only human at the end of the day. We all need ways to help ourselves through difficult situations. A distraction from the brutality of day to day life is what keeps some of us soldiering on x

My focus & attention is solely on him. I’m not looking to meeting up with anyone for the foreseeable & I’ve expressly put that on my bio so I’m not misleading anybody.

OP - I think you will get a relatively easy ride on here today because you are female. If you posted this from your husbands account then I think you would be ripped to pieces.

I do hope you have spoken to hubby about it. If you are doing this behind his back then it is more than shitty.

I just think cheating on the one person that you’re supposed to love in his biggest moment of need is as low as you can go and that’s as polite as I can possibly be on this subject.

You shouldn't feel down upon yourself or feel any type of way. Truthfully it's your escapism and distraction. Sometimes you need it to get away to help your state of mind especially when it's constantly worrying and over thinking it. At the end of the day you still care for him and support him. It just shows you have a good heart and intention. You could've been horrible and not care or even end leaving. But at the end of the day you are still there for him. Don't feel guilty and ashamed, or any kind of way. You being here and him not knowing maybe not the greatest but I'm sure you have your reasons. On which my guess you don't want to give him the stress

You just do what you need to do. It’s nobody else’s business, although you’ve made it people’s business by posting it. Nobody knows what other people are going through. You’ll be judged on here of course you will.

And for the record I think those who know me know I’d say exactly the same if it was a man who posted.

There’s no question of leaving him. Ever. I’m aware this thread stirs up strong opinions but I’m ok with that. I knew that when I posted. I’ve also admitted it’s wrong of me.

I read your profile. It sounds like he doesn't know and it sounds like you have been doing this for some time before he got sick.

If you didn't feel horrible before then why now?

But if you feel like a horrible person then examine what you are getting out of being here and see if you can find it else where in a way that won't make you or potentially your husband feel horrible.

Yes, that changes certain aspects.

But within the context of having a distraction of her own in such times (as to what that distraction is, is not my point nor business) I stand behind that. I'd say the same to a single man too.

I've seen what such a situation can do to those around the person with the medical condition, if they don't keep other things to focus on along side it.

It’s mad isn’t it how men get absolutely slated for being on here behind their wives’ backs, but women - even a woman with a husband who has a fucking BRAIN TUMOR - get nothing but cuddles and reassurances and platitudes for cheating on their partners, hahahah!!!

Fucking hell, the sexist double standards are insane!! Hahah

As others have rightly pointed out…

If a man posted this about his wife having a brain tumour, etc, then to say he’d get shredded is an understatement.

It’s your call OP because you’re the one who has to live with yourself.

Got to love fab’s double standards.

So Op. You know what you're doing isn't particularly great.

You might be feeling a bit low/stressed/whatever. He's your husband though. I just think... if you're not being honest with someone you probably love?

At a time like that?

Yeah...

Look you'll get those who are married (fucking married folk) who sympathise. Some who think it's pretty fucking scummy.

Why did you post this OP? Are you wanting attention and an outlet?

How often do the ones posted by men in a similar vein get removed? Rarely.

Putting aside the moral compass, because it's not my business, I sincerely wish the OP well. I would do the same if a man had posted this thread.

Imagine being the husband. Seriously ill and your wife is cheating. Then she’s posting it all for everyone online to give her a pat on the back and tell her she’s amazing. I’m sorry but my brain tumour would be the last of her worries if that was the case.

You obviously know it’s shit behaviour or you wouldn’t be making a post about it.I get that people are going to say you don’t know what you will do Until your in that position.

I can 100 percent say I would never be on here without my husband knowing and God forbid if he ever got Sick getting attention on fab wouldn’t even enter my mind.

Again, that's not the part I'm focusing on. I'm neither condoning nor condemning directly on her choice of distraction.

My initial response was before the information of the husbands knowledge was revealed.

The advice/experience I shared there still stands and holds up regardless of the distraction being if she were to self harm, or go on shopping sprees, or get absolutely wasted etc. Regardless of it being a man or woman.

How said person chooses to distract themselves is an issue within an issue.

There are 2 very seperate issues within the context of this situation. I addressed one of them.

My wife is fine, it did nearly kill her but was operated on and most of it removed, she has made a full recover as it was years ago but has to have regular yearly check ups and the fear of it growing again is always there.

I don't think she is. I think she just wants some clarity and composure. At the end of the day she's being open and honest with herself. It's not she's hiding it on here and lying on fab. She knows her right and wrongs, in which she admits. But I do believe she's fighting own demons at the moment

We all deal with stress in different ways. It's easy to sit in judgement of people about whom we know effectively nothing. Dont judge yourself too harshly.

Imagine being the husband. Seriously ill and your wife is cheating. Then she’s posting it all for everyone online to give her a pat on the back and tell her she’s amazing. I’m sorry but my brain tumour would be the last of her worries if that was the case.

Again, that's not the part I'm focusing on. I'm neither condoning nor condemning directly on her choice of distraction.

My initial response was before the information of the husbands knowledge was revealed.

The advice/experience I shared there still stands and holds up regardless of the distraction being if she were to self harm, or go on shopping sprees, or get absolutely wasted etc. Regardless of it being a man or woman.

How said person chooses to distract themselves is an issue within an issue.

There are 2 very seperate issues within the context of this situation. I addressed one of them."

Are you dropping the anchor and trying to turn the supertanker there?

It’s probably a escape from real life. Probably keeping you sane with all that’s going on in your life.

No he doesn’t.

If I told you what I really thought I’d get a ban. Put your husband first and just know that most of these nice replies are by people who would absolutely flame a single man for posting this exact same thread."

I do have to agree with this ,I've seen a man post that he was looking for fun because his wife was terminal and he didn't get much empathy or support on here.

I appreciate you're in a really difficult situation ,but is this really the right place/thing to do.

Yes, that changes certain aspects.

Sorry I know I replied to you but it was directed at all the support shown in the thread when it wouldn’t be the same for a single man.

If a bloke cheated because his wife was on her period he’d get absolutely demolished never mind a brain tumour.

Whilst, as a single guy here, I'm tempted to agree with this last point, I also understand that we all have to navigate our way through our own particular circumstances as best we can just the get through them. Sometimes we all make decisions that don't stand up to the scrutiny of others who aren't party to the feelings we have coursing within us - isolation, frustration, loneliness, desperation, a need for something simple, yearning for relief, etc - and maybe also our own scrutiny in time. Yes sure, that might mean our actions don't accord with how others might act in the context of their own lives, but none of us know the full stories of others. I don't think more recrimination will help anything here, especially since your current circumstances seem more than enough for reflection - and yes, I'd say that equally to a man who'd been as open and so clearly contrite. Others have made their valid points, so I'm not going to heap any more of that onto you. I'm just going to wish you a path to whatever is best in your and your husband's lives. I hope he's going to be okay.

OP, how will you feel if he was to find out?

There's always a chance of this, no matter what.

You don't have to answer that here, or at all, happy for you to message if preferred.

I know of a couple where one was cheating throughout, and the other ended up very ill, the cheating remained and eventually there was not a happy ending at all.

Cheater was caught out, and illness took the other.

I hope you find some way to cope without adding any more guilt, shame or hurt.

As long as you're not intending to do anything about meeting your ex fwb, this is my take.

This is just a website with words and pictures on - no different to most websites. I can understand the stresses and strains you may have looking after an ill partner, but every once in a while you need to ground yourself and take your mind off bad things for your own sanity. It doesn't mean you care any less, and allowing yourself a brief moment of pleasure is not wrong. Just don't take it too far.

Sorry to hear that you’re going through a tough time and I sincerely hope your husband is as comfortable as possible.

However, being on Fab behind your husbands back whilst he so unwell is a pretty vile thing to do and whilst it may give you a distraction in the short term, it is an incredibly disloyal thing to do. I also feel if the worst should happen in the future, it will cause you an enormous amount of guilt knowing what you’ve done.

As you have already aknowledged that you know the situation is fucked up and you know people will disagree with you, the fact that you’re still posting about it here is just blatant attention seeking.

I would suggest you do yourself a favour and ask a Mod to take this post down.

Not sure how I feel about this thread tbh, like many have said before if this was a man and coupled with the fact you know your fwb reads these forums too, looks like it might be a little attention seeking, possibly. I've only recently started coming back on the forums after a long while away so don't really know how you normally post but if this is a "look at me" thread, it hasn't gone down particularly well at all given all the information you gave, we all need an escape of course.

Op, carry on doing what you need to do in life to get you through this as well.

So often the attention from everyone is always directed towards the person that's sick and the person stood back watching (you) is the one that also takes a massive hit health wise because you end up in a state yourself. Not eating,not sleeping, not taking care of yourself etc etc...you end up breaking yourself.

The fact you've already said you have no intentions of meeting anyone on here or are after anything sexual tells most people that you are here because you need someone to talk too and not meet. Someone to listen to you, whilst you rant,rave,scream or cry your eyes out.

No one has the right to slag you off for trying to seek a way through.

Your husband has a brain tumour that's very unfortunate, your own mental health needs to have a release as well.

Looking at an ex fwb /fb on here is just the memories you had of previous happy times popping into your head. That's nothing to be ashamed of either.

No ones marriage is anyone's business especially on fab that part isn't for anyone to comment on or judge either.

They don't know the reason for you joining originally and it's none of their business.

Op, this is the truth of it, not matter others say, think or do on this thread is totally irrelevant.

What is relevant is, if this sits right with you! Your conscience will tell of its not, as at a point you'll start to feel guilty.

However, what I'll say is, I refer back to my first comment, the fact that your are acknowledging this as royally fucked up, that maybe thr start of you seeing that what your doing is wrong. And if you are using fab as a distraction, when that fix wears off which it will, are the resulting feelings of guilt shame, regret with adding on top of what your already going through, or to run from. As my experience is when I've ran away, I've never actually ran away from anything internally no matter how hard I've tried, as I always take me with me.

The fact you've already said you have no intentions of meeting anyone on here or are after anything sexual tells most people that you are here because you need someone to talk too and not meet. Someone to listen to you, whilst you rant,rave,scream or cry your eyes out.

No one has the right to slag you off for trying to seek a way through.

Your husband has a brain tumour that's very unfortunate, your own mental health needs to have a release as well.

Looking at an ex fwb /fb on here is just the memories you had of previous happy times popping into your head. That's nothing to be ashamed of either.

No ones marriage is anyone's business especially on fab that part isn't for anyone to comment on or judge either.

Would you support a man who had posted the same thing?

If the answer is “yes” then I can’t fault you. If “no” then I have no time for you.

She didn’t ask for attacks but she opened herself up to that possibility

Male or female my reply would be the same.

"Thinking out loud" is what the OP put, not come at me with all the abuse possible to add to the shit already going through her head.

Totally respect your opinion. I get that it’s not for everybody. I’ve admitted it myself.

I just think cheating on the one person that you’re supposed to love in his biggest moment of need is as low as you can go and that’s as polite as I can possibly be on this subject."

Totally agree, I've refrained from commenting on the subject, but your right if it we're a bloke that posted it he'd be ripped a new arsehole.

This thread was always going to go this way, the OP was prepared for it too.

The celebrated Misandry that can be sometimes seen in these forums, and anything man related being deemed as misogyny is always going to create this divide.

Double standards will create a reaction.

That's often a different response to a thread depending on several factors, sex/gender being a big one.

From my perspective, I would hate to be in the position of the OP, and no way would I cheat, especially at this stage.

However, if I was in the position of the husband, I'd completely understand if my partner found relief this way.

Fortunately, I've not had to walk in any of those shoes.

It's ok killing people is an instinctive survival mechanism, don't worry about it.

I've known many carers, for ill partners who have faced these kinds of dilemmas and conflicting emotions. Sometimes they are able to talk to their partners other times they aren't.

Walk a mile in your shoes first is my opinion. And even then how I would handle it doesn't mean that's right for you.

I’ve had a skim of the thread, pretty much as expected.

Kind of naive from the OP to post this, was always going to be a tarring and feathering.

One one hand outwardly it seems pretty despicable, right? I get that 100%.

On the other hand I have no idea what the journey has been for the OP to get to posting this thread.

Is there any suggestion that she’s not doing anything other than providing 100% care for her other half?

I can only imagine the emotional stress and pressure that they are BOTH feeling. I’ve been close to people that have to provide care to ill people and it’s not easy, sometimes you need an escape / safety valve from that pressure.

The OP has said she’s not meeting at present I think - if being on here from time to time is preventing her providing the appropriate care to her husband I can understand the ire.

If being on here helps her to cope / offers temporary release and in return enables her continue to provide the best care rather than enter a circle of depression etc then I can understand why she’d be here. But with the conflicting feelings she clearly has.

So am I condoning? No. Am I berating her? No.

I simply don’t know her journey / reasons to form any meaningful judgement.

All the best to her husband though, I hope it is treatable and he makes a full recovery.

OP from your own admission you know that perving on your old fwb is wrong, given the horrendous circumstances your hubby finds himself in.

Rather than seek distraction in this way why don't you take advantage of all the support there is for the family of people affected by cancer. This can come in a variety of forms and may give you the help you need.

When it's all over you have to live with yourself and I believe you'll feel better saying you gave 100% to your hubby in his hour of need rather than repeating the excuses you feel may justify your actions which you admit are royally fucked up.

No he doesn’t.

There are a lot of people on here who are married & their spouses don’t know.

"The double standards, argh, they burn!

I understand that some people are on here without their partner's knowledge but I will never knowingly meet with them.

The collective moral code of fab is very difficult to understand. It's a real head scratcher.

"Does he know you’re on here and is he happy with what you’re doing?

No he doesn’t.

If I told you what I really thought I’d get a ban. Put your husband first and just know that most of these nice replies are by people who would absolutely flame a single man for posting this exact same thread.

Totally respect your opinion. I get that it’s not for everybody. I’ve admitted it myself.

I just think cheating on the one person that you’re supposed to love in his biggest moment of need is as low as you can go and that’s as polite as I can possibly be on this subject."

Being on here and not meeting is in no way the same as cheating . Surely there’s a massive difference between thinking and doing …

We all have reasons for being here

"Not my proudest moment.

But you couldn’t resist tell everyone in the forum about it. What is the purpose of the post OP? To gain approval or condemnation? You’ll get approval from this who think it might help them get a leg over, and condemnation from those who know it’s royally fucked up. Which one are you after?

That’s a bit unfair. There’s all kinds of mental health stuff posted on these forums. With loads of support. People on here even support people who have done the most horrendous things sometimes (because aww it could be a mental health issue). So what about this lady? How do you know she isn’t suffering mental health issues because of all this?"

How is asking the question unfair Nora? She hasn’t addressed her reasons for starting the thread even though she has posted since.

I’m not judging her… she is judging herself and perhaps her judgment is leading to mental health issues. Whatever your views, everyone can agree she is in a shit place.

Still, she is getting a lot of support here, even if it’s possibly not the best place to look for it. I’d still like to know her reasoning for posting the thread.

My judgment is reserved for the fab double standard at play here. We all know that a married man on fab, playing without his wife’s consent, mentioning an ex FWB while discussing their wife’s brain tumour wouldn’t find a sympathetic ear.

Yeah it is, acknowledge what your doing is fucked up, dont justify the back end of it, if your being a dick be a dick but don't pretend otherwise

She mentioned her ex FWB who she perves over, so we can assume she has had meets.

You assume wrong. Since I joined here 4 weeks I’ve not met up with anybody. I’ve made it crystal clear I’m not meeting for the foreseeable future. It’s there on my bio.

But she has been cheating previously and mentions looking at her ex fwb regularly.

I think people are divided because many of us have lost people ourselves & wouldn't really think to be on fab during a partners illness , especially when they don't know and until recently the op had lots of identifying face pics up.

People's views will vary due to their own experience ie there are several married people ,whose partners don't know offering support on the thread.Their opinions are going to be significantly different to those who don't cheat or have been cheated on in the past.

Yes people judge ,we all judge others ,often through own experiences.

Posting this sort of thread is going to invite people to criticize and comment.

I hope you find the right support op & that your husband is comfortable.

Miss

It looks like Nora is 'out' and if you haven't got what you want from the OP by now it seems unlikely you will to me.

Is this really the place to bring up gender unfairness?

Reading above, it sounded like the OP knew there we was always going to be some sugar and some medicine from this thread.

These situations scatter a lot of people, and the best advice is to look for bespoke help. It will help to pull things together. Because a lot of people who struggle with a situation like this focus on the effect it has on themselves rather than the reality itself.

I always understand why people post personal stuff like this on Fab, but maybe a forum based on fellow sufferers/carers will offer more focused help here.

In that case, allow me to pose a new question. Did you meet your ex fob on an older fab profile, and were those meetings with the knowledge and approval of your husband?

"You just do what you need to do. It’s nobody else’s business, although you’ve made it people’s business by posting it. Nobody knows what other people are going through. You’ll be judged on here of course you will.

And for the record I think those who know me know I’d say exactly the same if it was a man who posted.

Take care xx

Those in glass houses should sit down & shut up I mean we all *think* we know what we’d do but until we’re in that position. I’m not saying it’s right,I know it’s not.

I’m a big believer, and always have been, that you cannot say exactly what you would do until you’re in a situation. "

"It’s mad isn’t it how men get absolutely slated for being on here behind their wives’ backs, but women - even a woman with a husband who has a fucking BRAIN TUMOR - get nothing but cuddles and reassurances and platitudes for cheating on their partners, hahahah!!!

Fucking hell, the sexist double standards are insane!! Hahah"

It’s not just the cheating for me or the fact that her partner is unwell, it’s that, even TO HER, it’s wrong and yet she’s doing it and posting a thread about perving on an ex.

Only with a gun to my head would I confess this

Because the whole ‘be kind’ thing has made some people feel they shouldn’t call someone out, even for the shittiest behaviour.

I admit I don't understand 'the day in someone's shoes' thing (painful as it still is sometimes is I don't mind saying that I spent 10 whole years without sex looking after someone - my late 30's to late 40's - but everyone is different, and nobody can assume what others have or haven't been through based simply on an opinion or an approach to a forum thread like this)... but this shit does scatter people's heads. People are entitled to show sympathy here I think, just perhaps not maybe completely unrestricted as that may not ultimately help. I found personally that full acceptance and mental focus was the key to care (irrespective of my actual sex life). I'd have found it impossible otherwise. So imo the OP needs to find those two things. And of course be on top of the help she can get for the care side too. I think (as I said above) that when people find it especially hard to deal with a situation like this (per the other thread which focused on that side), they can over-focus on what the situation is doing to them.
