To be upset about this text sent to DP.

[qazxc]

"You fucker, you never told me you had an STD. What am i going to tell my husband"

I know that DP has been sent this because he told me. he said that he got this next late last night from an unknown number. I suspect that it is some sort of "joke" text as i would imagine the likelyhood of DP straying (presumably with more than one woman, one to catch STD and one to pass it on too) is as likely as him taking a cheese grater to his gonads. I absolutely trust him 100%.

What upsets me is the idiot that sent this. What was their game? Presumably they know DP (to have his number). Do they realise that if our relationship was less strong or open it could have split us up? Why would they want to do that? in what universe was text funny?

I guess i am touchy about the cheating subject as both my parents were serial cheats and it marred our childhood (Dad is now living with his long term mistress, mum had serial affairs as revenge/to get attention from dad and ended up running off with one of the blokes). AIBU to let it get to me, would it bug you?

It could be one of those scams where you ring the number and it costs you ££££.

I can see why you'd be upset, but spamming is unfortunately a way of life these days.

[ImTooHecsyForYourParty]

I suppose because the text said "what am I going to tell my husband" that the OP and her partner assumed that the sender was female, rather than thinking it could also be a same sex couple?

[TheBirdsFellDownToDingADong]

An ott reaction for sure. Odder than the text itself. Dp got a series of these last year from his twatty imbecile workmates. We just laughed and said which twatty workmate is doing this.

Might it be worth getting an STD check just to be on the safe side?

[Purple2012]

I doubt it is from a teenager. They say STIs now I think. STD would make me think someone a bit older.

[scaevola]

"Yet the text gives no clue as to the sex of the sender?"

Yes it does - the sender has a husband.

And yes, 'slapper' is an insult. But a text like this, if sent to a troubled household, could be vastly damaging. And that's not a joking matter, so I think those who dish it out should take it back.

[WorraLiberty]

I missed the 'husband' part

Either way, it's still probably a bunch of twats fucking around

[WitchOfEndor]

I think I've been on Relationships too long because I have seen lots of women convinced that their husband would never do such a thing, until they find out he has. As much as I trust my husband I would probably get down to the doctors for a check up.

akiss

[AKissIsNotAContract]

I wasn't joking! My best mate has been left infertile by her first serious 'monogamous' boyfriend. However much you trust someone it can't hurt to get checked out.

[Bobyan]

Google the number, if its a scam you might find it.

[Boomba]

oh

[propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS]

Only thing to do is ride your husband bare then go for an std check in a month or so. That way lies the truth.....

[SarahAndFuck]

OP a bloke my DH used to work with played a similar 'joke' on DH, picking nights when DH was working night shifts etc so it looked like he was out with another woman.

And the joker did find it funny that DH was ringing the number to find out who it was.

Best to ignore the actual message sender, but I agree with the others, it might be best to get checked out yourself.

[ChipsNEggs]

I once got a text thanking Sue for her gift of dirty knickers after a filthy meet. I googled the number and the sender was a right pervert. It could have caused ructions if I was in a relationship though.

[ProperStumped]

Something doesn't sit right with me here (and I've just written that on another thread as well

He seems to be ever so angry about it..... and ime, when people are lying, or guilty, they over dramatise about this kind of stuff to try and convince you that they know nothing about it.

[dreamingbohemian]

I agree that his reaction seems a bit OTT.

Why would he be angry that this text might threaten his marriage, when he could have just rolled his eyes, deleted the text and never told you about it.

Dirty slapper

[StuntGirl]

Very odd reaction - from both of you. If I got that text I'd show my partner and we'd laugh at it.

[ExcuseTypos]

I was recently sent a picture of a cock and I'm not talking about the bird variety.

As its not the kind of thing my friends would do, I presumed it was a wrong number and deleted it. My dh just said 'oh righty' and carried on eating his breakfast

Anyway OP, I'm sure it's a wrong number, just ignore it.

[longingforsomesleep]

Given the OPs experiences growing up I don't suppose she would laugh at a text accusing her DH of infidelity. And no doubt mindful of the damage her parents' infidelity caused the OP, it's not really surprising her DH was angry about the text is it?

[scrumpkin]

Google the number.

I had some very generic texts ie: "hey it's been ages, lets hook up" sent last year. I don't know anybody who would say that who's number I didn't have and said to my husband "wtf is this?" Thinking he might know.

Googled and it was some scam making money from each reply they got.

[Rulesgirl]

Well it sort of does "Worra". It says what will I tell my husband.

[WhiteBirdBlueSky]

Yes, scam, or daft joke.

[RiotsNotDiets]

Happily though, men can have husbands too

[WorraLiberty]

Rules as I said, I missed the husband part.
