Friends husband

If you saw your friends husband on here would you tell them. I've recently seen an old work mates husband on here, he's messaged me a few times and I'm m not sure if I should mention it to her. It's obvious she doesn't know he's here from his profile and messages and I'm feeling really guilty and sorry for her as I know she's just had a baby too. And he's not a very nice person..

I’m in the very small minority, but if it was my husband, I’d want someone to tell me. Even though I’m on here, I’d appreciate that my friend was looking out for me. If I wasn’t on here, I’d appreciate it even more.

Some people say don’t get involved, but ask yourself - what would you want?

I wouldn't.

One thing I've learnt in life, it's usually the messenger that gets shot!

If you feel strongly about it, then be prepared for the can of worms and the backlash that will follow.

Sometimes saying nothing is best especially if she’s just had a baby there could be a hundred reasons he’s playing away yes it’s not rite but I don’t think you’d get any thanks for it it’s between them

I'd block and mind my own business. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors and the messenger is often shot.

Now I understand it.

I'd leave it but it's your call.

I was in a similar situation years ago. I chose to tell my friend. It all blew up in my face I lost my friend as she believed him. 6 months later she ended up in intensive care thanks to him and him behind bars. So so sad. But I will not get involved ever again.

If she's just had a new baby it will be the last thing she will want to hear and could cause loads of damage. She'll find out organically in her own time if he is that much of an arse. Leave well alone.

Block and ignore, it'd be a lot of explaining anyway as to why you're here yourself if you were gonna tell her he was here. You never know the full picture either, unless you do..... ....an easier solution night be to message the dude anonymously and tell him you know what he's up to, it might give him a fright. But I'd stay out of other ppl's relationships generally, you could end up losing your friend....

If I was close to her and I cared about her then yes, I wouldn't hesitate to let her know. She might know he's on here and be OK with it but what if she doesn't? I couldn't keep something as serious as cheating from a person I cared about.

If it was just an acquaintance I wouldn't get involved.

Omg so much drama here...

Unfortunately I’m a cheater, so can provide a different perspective. I got my reasons for doing this. I’ve discussed them with her. But still she wouldn’t approve finding me here, and essentially would be “the end” for us.

In this case this guy seems to be quite careless if he’s cheating and doesn’t want to be caught. Borderline stupid...

However if she’s a truly good friend you should show her you care for her. Maybe not telling her straight face, but a few hints would help.

And I’d scare him away asking for “his baby and her” and then block him forever.

It would certainly spook me if I were him.

That’s my 2 cents. Waiting for the backslash of criticism...

I truly don't understand why, if people feel they need to step in, they don't tell the person they think is doing the cheating that they know. It gives them an opportunity to sort their own mess out.

Why is the default always to tell the person perceived to be the innocent party?

Exactly! Don’t extend the drama... keep it concealed to the one creating it... and spooking him you could potentially help your friend more than just telling her...

Same as, it’s a shame that more people don’t.

"Omg so much drama here...

Unfortunately I’m a cheater, so can provide a different perspective. I got my reasons for doing this. I’ve discussed them with her. But still she wouldn’t approve finding me here, and essentially would be “the end” for us.

In this case this guy seems to be quite careless if he’s cheating and doesn’t want to be caught. Borderline stupid...

However if she’s a truly good friend you should show her you care for her. Maybe not telling her straight face, but a few hints would help.

And I’d scare him away asking for “his baby and her” and then block him forever.

It would certainly spook me if I were him.

That’s my 2 cents. Waiting for the backslash of criticism...

I think this might be an idea. Message him. Tell him you know. I think that'd spook me too!!

I truly don't understand why, if people feel they need to step in, they don't tell the person they think is doing the cheating that they know. It gives them an opportunity to sort their own mess out.

Why is the default always to tell the person perceived to be the innocent party?

Exactly! Don’t extend the drama... keep it concealed to the one creating it... and spooking him you could potentially help your friend more than just telling her...

"

I wouldn't play games. If I felt I needed to get involved I would just tell them who I was and that they needed to sort their shit out. No spooking, no hiding who I was just straight talking.

But I tend to keep out of other people's relationships, they're generally not my business

Because the innocent person would be someone I care about and owe my loyalty to and since her partner is *more than likely* doing a shit job of showing her some loyalty I'd rather be the one to do it. I wouldn't give two fucks about him but my friend deserves some respect.

I did mention that in my first post, that maybe she knows he's on here and she's fine with it. And it's just not who I am to think hmm, she could be cheating on him too so I'll just stay out of it and leave him to do what he wants!

If someone spotted me on here they'd probably think I was cheating on my partner and if they told him I'd completely understand why. If they didn't tell him then fine, that's their choice. I don't agree with it but I'm just trying to explain why I would tell a friend etc. I just think it's the best option.

Treat others how you want to be treated.

But beware they may not thank you if you do tell them.

Some people are not friends where I'd feel compelled to get involved.

Other friends are tbe type you would give a kidney to and for these I'd risk sticking my head above the parapet.

The whole not your business does not wash with me, I would not see an old lady being conned on her door step and say fuck her none of my business, so equally I would not allow a good friend to be conned.

If he doesn't know who you are it means you've put provisions in place to remain discreet. Unless you're gonna contact her via a fake social media profile or slip a note through her door you'll risk your own privacy being exploited. And make no mistake, if he finds out you've told his wife you put yourself at risk of him doing the same and soiling your reputation. I'd deffo just block and move on. You don't know their arrangement and the site is full of married men and women.

Its a catch 22 OP but the reality is every one on here has something they rather not know about this lifestyle or part of their life they are exploring.

Based on that premise if we are here we have to accept that other people's lives are not our business.

We are not here to police the world. Your parents or siblings could be here doing the same on their respective partners.

So many females and males on here seek discretion from their married loved ones and so my advise is stay out of it.

If you don't agree with him block him for your own sanity but if she can't work him out it's not your job to.

Also telling her may create far more stress in her life. Perhaps she's aware and turns a blind eye to save her marriage or to keep a roof over hee head or for the sake of her kids thus you have really no right to join this site only to police it.

Make sense? What do you think?

I think that a lot of people are reflecting their own experiences here, which I completely understand; potential cheating is a very emotive subject and people base their opinion on what they would want in that situation. It may not be the right course of action though.

If you feel strongly about it OP, then gather evidence and present it to her so she can't be in doubt. Just remember though that love trumps friendship and no one will come out of it clean or unscathed.

This is a tough subject and not an easy one at all. If it was a stranger then you could argue stay out of it. But a friend? What else is a friend if not someone who always have your back? If his wife knew he was here it would state so in his profile and he would t require discretion.

Chances are he is cheating and she knows nothing. I always have a problem with people who are what I call good weather friends. Sometimes doing the hard thing is the right thing. If she then chooses to believe him then fine, but you did what you thought was best.

I would rather know in my life personally exactly where I stand with people, and people that I can truly depend on even if they give me news I hate.

At the end of the day this really comes down to you. What you can and can’t live with.

If it was a really close friend, I'd tell them. In the same way I'd want to know if I was being cheated on. For those that have said love trumps friendship, I disagree. I was cheated on, and it ended my relationship, not my friendship. It's different for everyone and of course we all have different views, beliefs, morals and values, but I'd want to know and I hope my close friends would tell me too if I was being cheated on. The argument of it could break up a relationship/family doesn't wash with me, I'd rather have nothing that's based on the truth than a life based on lies.

It's an opinion. It's not up to you or me to decide if it's right or wrong regardless of how we feel.

I agree totally with her, but that's what I mean. Life is full of people who will all act differently. I know what I'd do and what I'd want but it's a very personal choice whether to tell the hurt party.

If it's a good friend, I would know what they'd want me to do. My closest friends, I know inside out and its the sort of thing you talk about with those close to you. Hence why I added that I'd tell close friends. I'm not deciding on what everyone wants, I'm making an educated decision based on a strong relationship, not just someone I'd say hello to in the street.

Well I’ve been that wife and it was a stranger whofound me through social media and told me my husband was on here and shagging about. I’m extremely thankful to him as I would probably still be in marriage based on lies absolutely clueless.

In this situation... For me i would look athow good a friend, do I see her everyday and in turn going to be lying to her. Secondly do you have the evidence to back up what you’re saying,

"For those that say they would tell...would it make you feel better to know that you had brought about the end of a marriage and all that entails?

I'd rather live with the truth than a lie. And besides, he ended the relationship the minute he dipped his cock elsewhere. "

What is the truth in this instance? I mean the facts rather than an opinion based on what the op has said?

Think you've already decided?

You dont like him or his beh6, by your own admission.

Depends what your hoping to achie6and why?

Tell your friend as you feel she deserves to know, or tell him you know who he is to try and stop his behaviour?

Would you do that if you had previously thought he was decent?

The answer to that is unknown until the facts are presented from both sides, I'd imagine

"If you saw your friends husband on here would you tell them. I've recently seen an old work mates husband on here, he's messaged me a few times and I'm m not sure if I should mention it to her. It's obvious she doesn't know he's here from his profile and messages and I'm feeling really guilty and sorry for her as I know she's just had a baby too. And he's not a very nice person.. "

It all depends on how good a friend you are and their circumstances.

I'd imagine that too. If people want to tell her or him (I respect their opinion if they do) is that what they hope to enable, establishing the facts?

That all depends on the person. For me, it would be. If its a friend we care about, surely the motive will be support for our friend.

Support, yes.

A situation we were in once. An acquaintances husband took on a second job, he got on well with a woman working there. He started coming home later and later, was moody and irritable etc. Much discussion took place among their friends. One couple went and saw them individually and offered support because they said they were obviously going through a difficult patch, no judgement, no assuming he was having an affair and telling his wife that. The wife accepted the support, he said there was nothing wrong and to leave him alone. Eventually after months of this couple being gently supportive of both a crisis occurred and it became clear that he was suffering from severe depression. The staying out long after work had finished was because he'd just been driving somewhere quiet and just sitting there. The irritability due to the depression. The extra job to try and relieve money worries and the friendship with the woman a distraction. It took a trip to a and e to get that out of him.

So support yeah, I get that.

I told a really good female friend I saw her partner on a dating type site. I said it's not me so don't be angry at me its I respect you know your life and your my friend.

She was absolutely greatful.

But depends on friendship level.

Sometimes saying not my monkey not my circus helps and just block saves problems

I'd say go visit your friend and start messaging him while sat next to your friend..

There you will have prove and she can confront him there and than..

Just a thought

Maybe they went under your head. You seemed to laugh at me earlier, so something must be sinking in. If you don't know then do what I do and ignore and don't stress....

"Still going?"

If you don't like the thread, don't comment. I'm pretty sure you start posts that make others roll their eyes, but as respectful grown ups, they walk on by with the saying "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything".

Maybe do this, instead of this passive aggressive odd thing you have going on here. It's unpleasant.

My opinion (& that’s all it is) is if she knows and someone tells her she will just go in do actually know but thanks for telling me’.

I’d want to know.

I thought he meant ...”is this thread still going”...couldn’t detect anything passive-aggressive. Nippy generally is a fun sort..wouldnt characterise him as that.

If my best friend had found out my ex was cheating, and had told me, I would have been grateful, and maybe got rid of him quicker.

We were friends from very young children though, so I would have respected her reason for telling me.

I would have done the same for her, if I had solid evidence; the same as if she were a sister, or brother. A true friend wouldn't keep something like that from me.

Aside from the moral conundrum that this thread throws up, it also is quite interesting to see how people react and rationalise things according to their own experiences and transgressions.

For someone who has cheated, this thread must be like a needle in their conscience and explains several posts.

People are very selfish in the majority. They are basing their answers on what they would like. Not thinking that the other person involved might not like the same.

Ok, theres the female code here, do I stand up for another female who's hubby is cheating?

BUT....you say your not bothered if she knows your here,

This is how it WOULD go.... I'm on an adult meeting site, your husband is also on that site looking for casual hookups....I'm so sorry for you.

She confronts hubby....I'm so sorry baby, I love you with all my heart but your tired and stressed with the baby an everything, I didn't know you knew her, I've met her a few times shes now obsessed with me, she's threatened to tell you as she wants me to leave you....BLAR BLAR BLOODY BLAR!

I get the female code but as much as youd like her to know what an utter scumbag shes with let him trip himself up, she'll find out eventually.....block and stay away!

I would tell her!! You have nothing to lose. If shes dealing with the kids now on her own, what difference does it make if hes not around anyway. He sounds like a dick anyway. She'll be better off without him!

Good point about him saying she's a nutty stalker. The guilty always go down that path. 'Blame the other person, they are innocent'.

She has nothing to lose by telling no, her halo will glow. The poor woman the other end dealing with a new baby has quite a lot more to lose by having an out of the blue revelation dumped on her at a vulnerable time.

"

I truly don't understand why, if people feel they need to step in, they don't tell the person they think is doing the cheating that they know. It gives them an opportunity to sort their own mess out.

Why is the default always to tell the person perceived to be the innocent party?

"

Because they could potentially be the one being wronged. If you told the alleged cheating partner then it may stop him in the short term but not stop him doing it when he thinks it has blown over.

To the OP, I would want someone to tell me. Having discussed this with friends before now, I know which ones would want me to tell them and which ones wouldn't

My husband didn't blame the woman he was cheating on me with.

Neither did his brothers blame the women, when they cheated.

I had a very similar thing.. my cousins husband messaged me, they too have a small child together, and another on the way, I blocked him.. she may know he's on here, I didn't want the whole family to know my private life by opening that can of worms.. although I'm not hiding anything. It's a struggle, but I'd block

I would say it was more someone trying to stop the thread from carrying on, it happens a lot on here if people don't like the subject.

To that end, for anyone it applies to...if you don't want to read any more of the thread, don't open it

Yep. And I'm making an observation on that. I did it myself. I gave my answer based on the fact that I wouldn't want anyone poking their nose into my business.
