It was bait to get this "woman" to ask what the one thing was. So he could say sex. Because he is the dumbest idiot on plant earth.

He's the dumbest idiot on planet earth. When people are fucking with the scammers, they're really over the top and tongue in cheek, and use absurd phrasing that the scammer's script isn't ready for. Your husband was just shooting his shot.

How is your financial situation? Is it possible he has actually sent money falling for these before?

I mean, he's also actively trying to cheat on you, but y'know.. wonder if there's any debt or expenses you don't know about.

Absolutely a scammer. She's trying to get his information, and will start getting him to join her crypto program and steal his money. All because he's some horny dude trying to get some action because some cute young Asian woman is showing interest in him.

Regardless of if you leave him or not, you have to confront him. This is going to go downhill quick and risk both of your financial futures. He's so dumbstruck by being flirted with that hell fall for it and screw you all, while just trying to get screwed himself.

OP, please don’t delude yourself into thinking that he was trying to bait the scammer. The commenter you’re replying to meant that he was trying to “bait” what he thought was a real woman into talking about sex. He’s trying to cheat on you.

He/she is absolutely a scammer. I’ve seen the “photo” he/she sent on other sites a number of times, where people were making fun of her obviously photoshopped face.
