‘I took in a Ukrainian refugee to live with my wife and me… then ran off with her’

Saw this on twitter and wanted to get thoughts. Don't know how in a tragic situation, some men still prioritise their horniness over everything. His poor wife!

How vile. I bet he chose her specifically because she was young and prettyish. I have heard some horror stories about men using the refugee scheme as a dating app. I hope his ex partner gets over him, he's obviously a complete pillock

Hopefully his wife will get child support and Sofia (22) will dump him in about five minutes and move on.

Iwonder08 · 21/05/2022 09:33

What a lovely person that Sofia girl is.. This family opened their home for her and she hooked up with the husband.

Yeah it's all her fault 🙄

So she was just a bystander was she?

Iwonder08 · 21/05/2022 09:39

Obviously he is a dick, but she is not exactly innocent here.. But of course someone will be here soon to claim she has PTSD so she couldn't possibly keep her pants on

KurriKawari · 21/05/2022 09:40

Sounds like an episode of 90 Day Fiance.

EvilPea · 21/05/2022 09:41

Fucking hell. What a prince among men.
so they sat there chatting in a language Lorna wouldn’t understand, whilst Sofia made him dinner and they flirted in front of her.
yeah I don’t know why she was jealous.

ATadConfused · 21/05/2022 09:41

I'm not opening the link, but given it's the sun I doubt it's actually full
of fact anyway.

i would assume the sleezy husband has taken advantage of the vulnerability of a traumatised young woman & wasn't worth hanging into anyway.

I hope that 'Sophia' is ok.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 21/05/2022 09:44

Ugh he's no loss, Lorna could do better!

Nice face and neck tattoos 🤮

MindPalace · 21/05/2022 09:44

How horrendous. Ten days??? And how disgusting to go to the press about it too - has he no shame? What are his poor wife and children going to feel about that on top of all the other suffering they are going through with their father leaving?

Pooe behaviour by both. I wonder whether this was his intention all along.

heyhi · 21/05/2022 09:44

Just when I think I've heard it all.

Men.

Sickoffamilydrama · 21/05/2022 09:46

Same old story really a shiny new woman comes along and suddenly the one who is raising your children is dropped!
Anyone with decency wouldn't have allowed themselves to get close.

well some of it is, obviously. Would you do that to another woman who had taken you into her home?

Winterfellismyhome · 21/05/2022 09:47

This has take a break written all over it

MayorDusty · 21/05/2022 09:50

@MrsSkylerWhite to be honest I'd put no blame on a woman fleeing war doing what she needed to do or perceived needed.
I'd put all the blame on the man with the wife and kids who he'd made a commitment to and then taken advantage of a situation where the other party could feel obliged.

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeee · 21/05/2022 09:53

Reads like something from readers wives.
He sounds like an absolute dick. As if it's not bad enough starting an affair in the family home, he then broadcasts it to the world, when it's likely still pretty raw for his ex, rubbing salt in the wounds.

Dammitthisisshit · 21/05/2022 10:01

for those that don’t want to read the article:

Sleazy man dismisses long term partners concerns that to take in a refugee their children would have to share a room (I’m not saying children shouldn’t share a room, but it needs to work for the whole household).
Sleazy man gets frustrated that official process to offer a room to a refugee is taking too long.
Sleazy man uses internet to choose attractive younger female refugee to come and live with them.
Sleazy man flirts with attractive, younger and vulnerable woman in front of his long term partner and their children.
Attractive, younger and vulnerable woman who speaks no English flirts with sleazy man.
Flirting is physical.
Long term partner and mother to children of sleazy man gets seriously pissed off and says woman she never wanted there should leave.
sleazy man runs back to parents with vulnerable woman in tow.

@Iwonder08 thinks it is the fault of the younger, vulnerable and attractive woman.

onthefencesitter · 21/05/2022 10:07

Sounds like the sun is getting concerned about all these Ukrainian refugees and putting out stories like this so their female readers get concerned their husbands can't keep their dicks in their pants and object to taking in Ukrainian refugees. Maybe even object to the UK taking in any Ukrainian refugees on the whole.

They did this with the whole 'inmigrants would steal your jobs and Syrian refugees will rape your daughters'. Now Ukrainian refugees would seduce your husbands

Can't help who you fall in love with and we don't know the state of his relationship pre Sofiia do we?
It doesn't sound like they had a rock solid relationship.

I just feel sorry for his kids, they are blameless in all of this.

I ve often wondered when we'd start to hear of this sort of thing as more refugee's move to western homes.

Candleabra · 21/05/2022 10:09

10 days? What an arsehole.

Mamette · 21/05/2022 10:11

I can’t believe his parents are housing them. If my son did this… sorry, I can’t even finish that sentence.

Onwards22 · 21/05/2022 10:12

Sounds BS

I would have thought this from the Daily Mail trying to stop people from housing refugees.

Kris02 · 21/05/2022 10:12

I wouldn't believe anything I read in that filthy rag. The Sun is a national embarrassment. This is exactly the kind of story I would expect them to run. It feeds the fantasy a lot of dodgy guys have been having about taking in hot refugees (or, to put it another way, exploiting vulnerable women for sexual thrills). There have been loads of tasteless jokes going round about ugly old men applying to take in 20-something Ukrainian girls. Trust The Sun to jump on that grubby bandwagon.

If I had to list the things that make me ashamed to be British, that disgusting excuse for a newspaper would be right near the top. And if that makes me a snob, fine, I'm a snob.

He seems like a catch......
