Shocked by DP arranging for a woman to join us in the bedroom

I’ve changed my name for obvious reasons.

I have officially lost it with DP. We have been together for a few years, and he has always made it clear his ‘fantasy’ is to involve another woman in the bedroom. I’ve always said it’s not my thing, which he says he respects and that’s why it is just a fantasy.

On Saturday we were out, fairly drunk and he brought this up again. I laughed and said ‘never say never’ - very much jokingly.

Fast forward to yesterday. We were having dinner and he said ‘remember on Saturday you said you’d be open to introducing someone else. Well I have a proposition’. I firstly said I didn’t recall saying that, and secondly asked what on earth did he mean.

Basically, he explained he had ‘found’ someone who’d be willing to join us. This is someone online with a few hundred reviews on a website and photos of her wearing next to nothing. He said it would be at his expense.

I was speechless initially then I hit the roof, I told him how dare he go behind my back and think something like this would be appropriate.

He meekly apologised, but said he took my answer at the weekend to be a positive one and got carried away.

Am I wrong to be completely astounded at his actions?

Suggest bringing another man into the bedroom and see what he says to that.

He's a creep.

To your last point, he pointed out that her profile states she is independent and he said that she was a ‘personal recommendation from an old colleague’ 😷

So I guess he's discussed this arrangement with his old (gross) colleague too then? I guess he was planning on comparing notes afterwards 🤮

And he'll even pay for the prostitute! What a gent. You are spoiled 🙄

No not a swinging site. I understand that to be free. It was a site for paid ‘professionals’ for want of a better term.

This would be the end of the relationship for me. I simply couldn't hack that he even considered it.
Take care OP

Mrsgreen100 · 30/04/2026 22:18

I’m thinking he’s a rat , chuck him back op

How exactly does that crop up in conversation? It's not like recommending a builder or a decorator! Grim and disgusting. I'm starting to think he could be regular of hers.
I would ditch this guy and not look back.

@JustSawJohnny my thoughts exactly.
@Aprilsun2 I suggest you get tested for STIs.

Hadn't thought of that but yes, it sounds like it's necessary.

Hopefully a visit to a Sexual Health Clinic and the subsequent anxiety of a wait for results might give OP the head wobble she needs to tell this creep to feck right off.

Teanbiscuits33 · 30/04/2026 22:14

Jesus, he doesn’t beat around the bush, does he? One sniff of you being open to it and he’s off the starting block quicker than Usain bloody Bolt. What a pathetic, desperate loser he sounds. It would put me right off him, in all honesty.

You've always said no to his suggestion of bringing another woman into the bedroom. When it got brought up again after a few drinks, and you said 'never say never', he decided that was the glimmer of hope he'd been waiting for and contacted a sex worker.

He most definitely shouldn't have taken what you said as you agreeing to his suggestion. He should have discussed it again before he started looking for someone.

The fact he went straight to looking for a sex worker, to join you both is grim. No sane person is going to ask a single friend if she fancies a threesome. I'm sure there's probably web sites of non-sex workers who regularly partake in this type of stuff.

Going forward....you need to be blunt with your partner. Say 'I am never ever in a million years going to be interested in bringing another person into the bedroom. If this is something you want in reality, then I'm not the right person for you'.

To be honest for me, it's not bringing another person into the bedroom that would upset me, it's the fact he is willing to bring a sex worker into it. She may be entering the agreement by her own free will and be fully consented. What if she isn't though? His desire to fulfill a fantasy, disregarded that fact.

To your last point, he pointed out that her profile states she is independent and he said that she was a ‘personal recommendation from an old colleague’ 😷

Never say never definitely doesn't mean now

It does mean a potential future yes, though.
Why say it about something that’s a definite no? Stupid thing to do.

For want of a better term, try prostitute

ChaToilLeam · 30/04/2026 22:10

I'm concerned for you given that he has ploughed on ahead without gaining your enthusiastic consent. He may well be one of those who gets off on cajoling their partners into sexual acts they do not want to do. Don't get drunk around him again and seriously consider cutting him out of your life. What a grubby little man he is.

Splitfoot · 30/04/2026 21:50

This. Bloody hell it's like he had her on speed dial or something!

Exactly.

I'd put money on him having used sex workers before, if not presently.

Absolute ick-fest.

Never2many · 30/04/2026 22:03

IMO if he managed to find someone that quickly he’s likely been using prostitutes for the duration of your relationship.

For me the relationship would be over the instant someone suggested it never mind felt they could go through with it.

There are some fantasies which wouldn’t even be given headspace as a thought in my relationship, and that is one of them.§

Candy24 · 30/04/2026 22:03

Eww to 100's of online reviews that means well....... Also You have said no. I would not cope with that and Im very sorry. You saying never say never was probably to his desparate mind all he needed BUT also shows you that is what he is thinking about all the time.

JustSawJohnny · 30/04/2026 21:57

This would be a deal breaker for me.

He's not going to let it lie. He's looking at prostitutes and is OK with 'sharing you' with another man! Just vom inducing!

I'd be telling him to fuck off and keep fucking off forever.

Shudder

Splitfoot · 30/04/2026 21:50

TheFormidableMrsC · 30/04/2026 20:41

Fucking hell. The disrespect. That would be the end for me. He’s never going to stop going on about it.

This. Bloody hell it's like he had her on speed dial or something!

TeaPot496 · 30/04/2026 21:39

You're going to see him again? Knowing that for years he's clearly been wanking himself into oblivion over the thought of something you detest the idea of? And that he sees women as lumps of meat to share around? And this prince thought he was doing you a favour by not asking you to pay?!

And you're going to see this prostitute-user again and haven't decided what to do?!

Wake up!

Silverbirchleaf · 30/04/2026 21:38

So he doesn’t time looking up other women. Thats a red flag in it self.

Hes not going to drop this fantasy. I’d end the relationship.

SometimesThingsHappen · 30/04/2026 21:38

LittleJustice · 30/04/2026 20:33

I wonder how he'd feel if you told him you've been looking at men to hire on the internet to see if he fances having a threesome with another man and you? And you found one that you quite fancy that you'd like to introduce into the relationship.

I always think it would be interesting to turn the tables on men like this to see if they understand how insulting and degrading the suggestion is.

Exactly this!

Just tell him when you said "never say never" , you meant a threesome with another man! Watch his attitude change then. I'd bet his response would be "That's disgusting, I'm not gay." Then tell him it's ok, you'll arrange it and pay for it as it's really for your pleasure not his, because let's be honest that's what this is.

EarthSight · 30/04/2026 21:37

Oh my God...so at the slightest green light he went ahead and found a prostitute?? Not even a discussion??

ihateyousarahm · 30/04/2026 21:33

Vomit. Unfortunatly he will be seakjng out that women 1on1.
