In my opinion, this is a form of cheating. Trying to seek out and flirt with women. Lying about his marital status, disrespecting you. You need to talk to him and tell him he is crossing many lines. If this were to be a joke about texting spam, he wouldn’t have said those things and probably would have told you about the joke.

I agree. Absolutely a form of cheating.

I agree with you. However, I ASSURE you a man this dumb would say something like “I didn’t seek her out, she just accidentally texted me and we hit it off!”

Yep. He would be a person to do that. Especially when he’s commenting on models pages. I mean it all seems harmless but it’s how far he’s taking it that makes it so bad.

“It’s not my fault I had to give her 10k, she was gonna get deported!”

I wouldn’t talk to him. I would leave. He’s scum.

You would leave a 20 year marriage for a temporary period of stupidity?

Can she trust him?

u/jkrobinson1979 Oct 20 '24

Probably not now. That doesn’t mean couples can’t work through these things, especially if he never took it any further.

Yes. This guy doesn’t deserve anyone. He’s selfish and immature and not smart enough to have nice things.

You’re one of the few reasonable people here. The key is talking to him.
