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!

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.

I fully agree with this.

I'm wondering why she changed her name by deed poll to match his when they weren't married... did anyone else spot that?

Ten years and 2 kids gone in the space of ten days?!

absolutely!

Man with children in a long term relationship dumps his partner and kids for a younger childless woman.

It's a basic cliché.

However I'm laughing at the fact he's taken her to live with his parents;what a prince among men he is.

Hopefully Sofia will come to her senses and ditch him and his ex will realise what a lucky escape she's had.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 21/05/2022 10:24

so sophie is grateful - you cant blame her for being grateful
10 days!
how ridiculous
what a catch he is - not

NewYorkLassie · 21/05/2022 10:27

Fucking hell he picked her out on Facebook, it wasn’t even the official scheme!

This guy is clearly a dirty bastard.

RJnomore1 · 21/05/2022 10:27

I work for a council and our local coordinator told me it’s ridiculous the amount of single men registering to offer accommodation to single women only, specifying single no kids. So there’s quite a few guys out there trying to take advantage of this in some way.

This one is particularly abhorrent. I’d love to hear the wife’s side and also while absolutely not entirely innocent, remember this is a young woman torn from everything she knows in traumatic circumstances finding someone who can speak to her a bit. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some form of trauma bonding and I’d also love to know what he has told her.

RestingMurderousFace · 21/05/2022 10:30

Trash, the pair of them.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 21/05/2022 10:31

i wonder how much is true

MrsLargeEmbodied · 21/05/2022 10:31

he should never have been allowed, i assume she has no children

Doublevodka · 21/05/2022 10:32

The Sun is a good newspaper………..for wiping your arse on.

Nanny0gg · 21/05/2022 10:33

If it is true I have no time for his parents either.

No way I'd take my son in if he abandoned his family.

Why are you spreading this filth then OP.

spreading it on here via The Sun and Twitter which are both forms of cesspits.

you're just exacerbating the problem. Anything that has Ukrainian Refugee in the title is all about exploiting the current tragedy for more monetised clickbait.

Oh so true @Doublevodka

what does the OP think our "thoughts" could possibly be...

Theytrytomakmego · 21/05/2022 10:35

They are both as bad as each other really. He's an absolute sleazebag and at 29 with a six yr old and a three yr old holds the bigger share of responsibility than the silly 22 yr old refugee, but she also decided how she was playing early, they were only all in the same house for 10 days before his partner had a go at her about what was going on and off they went to his parents.

Her: “As soon as I saw him I fancied him.

It’s been very quick but this is our love story. I know people will think badly of me but it happens. I could see how unhappy Tony was.”

Him: "When I got in at night Sofiia would be the one who had made a meal for me to try."

“I knew something was happening between us and that Sofiia felt the same — it was something neither of us could stop.

“We would sit in the car after going to the gym and we’d sit talking and laughing as we looked across the city.

What a horrible power imbalance, and his poor wife.

MissyCooperismyShero · 21/05/2022 10:38

Alexandra2001 · 21/05/2022 10:08

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.

We absolutely can help who we fall in love with! Alexandra, are you a victim of your own undercarriage? You should get therapy for that.

Soffit · 21/05/2022 10:39

It was only a matter of time 🙄
Mind you, two weeks is a bit of a record breaker by anyone's standards. The young girl is still in the early stages of processing trauma and cannot really be making a healthy choice so soon into her 'new life'. She could do better than him - would she look twice at him if he had been visiting her home town in a non-war situation? I don't think so! However, she is unprincipled enough to choose to do this to the 'older' woman with kids to gain some short term security.

Emotionalsupportviper · 21/05/2022 10:39

“It’s been very quick but this is our love story. I know people will think badly of me but it happens. I could see how unhappy Tony was.”

Oh bless - she's done this as an act of charity towards this unhappy man. The woman is a saint.

I'll bet this has been going on online long before she got here. They are both a pair of tossers.

This has take a break written all over it

That was my first thought!

Fireflygal · 21/05/2022 10:42

This isn't love. They fancied each other and decided they wanted to shag.

Lavenderlast · 21/05/2022 10:43

So he dumps his wife for a hot younger girl he picked out of a refugee camp (who has few options left in life except go along with him) and then he decides that to make all this even better he should sell his story to the Sun and give them photos - including of his dumped wife? So his kids classmates can ask his kids why their mum is in the paper?

What a prince.

Funny how when he walked out of the family home he just assumed his wife would do 100% of childcare and family expenses indefinitely.

I wonder when - and it is a when - his new girlfriend will dump him for someone richer. I hope he bawls his eyes out and tries to run back to his wife only to find she’s now with a much nicer man.

BlueBeeSpots · 21/05/2022 10:43

Sofia won a man who is prepared to leave his family for a fuck. Commiserations are in order 😂

Not really. It's already full of shit.

Theytrytomakmego · 21/05/2022 10:47

The poor 'wife' isn't married to sleazebag. She'd changed her name to his by deed pole and was his partner in a 10 yr relationship, with a 6yr old and a 3yr old. She has few rights in this mess.
