‘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!

Ha! They never wanted to hurt anyone. Absolute shite. They're both as bad as each other. His fingernails are gross Shock

If you're talking about the long pointy fingernails, they're not his they're hers.

His hand is over the top of hers and his fingers are through hers. It's her long pointy fingernails you're looking at you can't see his fingers.

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

I agree. She's as bad as he is.

Good on them. True love finds a way

Odessafile · 21/05/2022 20:56

Traumatised or not Sofia still had the emotional capacity to enter into an emotional affair which then turned physical. She voluntarily participated in the flirtation and didn't give a shiny shit about the kids involved.
The facebook groups were set up initially because the UK government sponsored charities hadn't at that point got their act together. So folk (Ukrainian and potential hosts) took to SM to advertise themselves. It was literally like a dystopian
tinder/ebay. Single guys were chastised for being predatory, young females were being warned about pouting and posing in presumably pre war photos and single guys accused of being cowards fleeing army service. On top of that hosts were throwing themselves at any ukrainian that appeared.
It really was an odd set up and I'm not surprised this has happened to be honest.

I hope that's sarcasm . . .

@LampLighter414.

I bet you believe in the tooth fairy and Santa.

@Vikinga.

I knew a bloke in a 15 year marriage, 2 kids who had his head turned by a pretty young blonde at work. Literally 2 days after meeting her he fucked off after telling his wife there was somebody else. AFAIK nothing even had happened between them at this point. He pursued her and they ended up having a brief fling before she dumped him, and he had the nerve to try and go back to his wife.

I’m never suprised by the antics of men.

Well spotted. I still think they are gross, I hate pointy nails.

Whowhatwherewhenwhynow · 21/05/2022 22:06

Disgusting man.
I hope the local authority check in with this refugee to checks she wants to be in a relationship with him and to offer her alternative help if she needs it.

😁
It reminds me of a thread where the Op waxed lyrical about her DH having an affair. Yet she had won and the OW had lost because her DH had come back to her.

The 1st post was "Well done Op, you won a bag of shite". 😁

I remember that thread!

I recall I laughed aloud at that comment.

😂Yes, they're pretty awful on her. On him they'd be seriously weird.

1FootInTheRave · 21/05/2022 22:36

The pair of them have behaved disgustingly.

They should be ashamed, not selling their seedy story.

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 21/05/2022 22:50

That is just shocking and why did they take in such a young single woman anyway. Her husband is a dickhead and that woman no better. Absolutely shocking that you open your house to help someone and that is how you are repaid and so sorry for the children involved. Horrible and to have it all over the papers then. Some people have no morals at all.

userxx · 21/05/2022 23:13

What a pair of horrible individuals, they sound quite well suited.

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.

Can't help who you fall in love with in ten days? Hmm

BonjourCrisette · 21/05/2022 23:42

I'm guessing poor Lorna changed her name by deed poll because her prince of a partner wouldn't marry her and she'd given her kids his name and wanted to have the same name as her kids. Poor woman. Tony is clearly a shit of the highest order and I hope he reaps the full rewards of being an absolute fucking arsehole. And Sofia is a horrible person too, actually, if this is true. Lorna is well rid of the pair of them. I hope she has friends around her.

mackthepony · 21/05/2022 23:49

Yeah, the wife should've known better. A 22 year old? These men are pathetic

PickAChew · 21/05/2022 23:50

My only thought about her motivation is that she's thinking about settled status, in the long run.

PurassicJark · 21/05/2022 23:50

MayorDusty · 21/05/2022 09:34

Yeah it's all her fault 🙄

Well it partly is yes. Just because someone offers you sex doesn't mean you have to accept. It's mostly his fault, but she could have said no, told his wife and been on her side. That's what I would have done, even if that meant I was kicked out. I wouldn't run off with a married man.

mackthepony · 21/05/2022 23:52

Apparently he speaks Slovakian

BlueberryMeringue · 22/05/2022 00:31

It goes without saying that he is an absolute scumbag and obviously thick as pig shit to think the lodger actually wanted him, as opposed to a meal ticket and lapdog until she finds her feet here.

As for her though, to take a strangers hospitality and kindness, flirt and start a relationship with a father in front of his children and under the nose of the mother of those children, while living in their home is the lowest of the low. Mercenary is an understatement. Coming from a war zone or not. She’d been in Berlin safe for months before she came to the UK. Nothing to suggest she’d lost family or friends or even witnessed any of the atrocities. It was obviously a planned all along.

I hope his poor partner has the last laugh.

YorkshireDude · 22/05/2022 00:35

Sounds like something off Jeremy Kyle.

whumpthereitis · 22/05/2022 01:01

She may very well be exploiting him, but imo it’s not particularly equal. He’s in a position of privilege, in a safe country, looking to fuck a pretty refugee fleeing a war zone. She, on the other hand, is uprooted, dealing with a level of trauma, and in a foreign country where she knows no one. As such, she’s using what she can to provide herself with a better life and safety net. She’s clearly judged him as her best option out of the ones available to her so far. It’s cynical, but it’s survivalism. Women from former Soviet countries were/are doing the same thing, using their sexuality to escape from poverty and make better lives for themselves.

It's strange DP and I was talking about this happening this week. DP is a mixed heritage from a neighboring country.
There's a huge divide culturally between English women and Eastern European women. It's huge.
It'll be all smiles til they have their first argument.😂

He looks like a prize dongle though.😂

You’re not wrong.

“The husband is the head, the wife the neck”. I imagine he’s familiar with that one.
