To cut my husband's ****edited by MNHQ**** with blunt scissors?

So my husband works shifts and this week it is his early shift - he is gone from the house by 5am. I came down this morning to find he had left his iPhone on the worktop. As I was making breakfast for DC's I pressed the home button on his phone to check the time and saw an unread message from my best friend of 27 years saying "is she in bed yet?".

Now, it's my birthday next week so I thought they were arranging some special surprise for me. So left it as that. Dropped the kids off at school but something was niggling at me, I just had this feeling in my gut. His iPhone has got a passcode which I don't know. On my third attempt, by pure and utter luck, I managed to guess it right and get into his phone. What I have seen has made me sick to my stomach. My "friend" has been sending my husband dirty naked pics of herself - full on legs spread and sex toys involved. There are no replies or conversation from him but then I guess these can be deleted??? I noticed he's saved the pictures to his camera roll also - presumably for quick access. I have no idea if they have met - I can't think straight at the moment it feels like everything is in slow motion

My husband NEVER leaves his phone at home so I suspect this was a mistake. I've currently packed all his bags and I am just about to post the pictures of my "friend" on Facebook with a tag saying "you are welcome to him"

I don't know what to do

"Where did you get the photos from?"

Could mean "did you find them or were you given/shown them by your husband?"

It's not difficult to criticise someone's shitty, awful behaviour strongly without using highly misogynistic terms.

ClopySow · 28/09/2016 16:28

Calling someone slack is classic misogyny. It's something i would expect from sexist neandathral pricks who can't cope with feminism, i find it utterly depressing that other women use it.

pregnantat50 · 28/09/2016 16:29

ok, lets address the OW as poor misguided soul following her equal sexual rights...sorry but I think a few insults aimed at the OW are fair game considering she thinks its acceptable to send photos of herself playing with a sex toy, with out a thought for her friend, her husband or her 5 children she would hurt..

EdmundCleverClogs · 28/09/2016 16:29

No, Onion, the OW is disgusting. The 'girl code' goes out the window for women like her as far as I'm concerned.

PollyPerky · 28/09/2016 16:30

middle she's got going to always answer truthfully though is she? Hardly going to admit she's read about the discovery online.

TheLegendOfBeans · 28/09/2016 16:30

Guys, considering the OPs world has just fallen apart, is this really the right place to be debating the language used? Maybe start a new thread?

(sorry for my derailment OP)

That last post read like I was suggesting the OP was being misogynistic - but I should have written - it is possible to revile the behaviour and character of the best friend and offer support to OP without being completely misogynistic.

I think I would be calling her worse if my best friend of 27 years did this to me. Absolutely horrific for the OP. Can't begin to think how she's feeling. Be strong OP Flowers

mycatstares · 28/09/2016 16:33

pink has he returned yet? Stay strongFlowers.

TheLegendOfBeans · 28/09/2016 16:33

Christ, take it elsewhere!!!!

venusinscorpio · 28/09/2016 16:34

No, misogynistic language is always vile and never "fair game". Or is it also OK to use racist, disablist or homophobic insults when someone does something awful to us?

PollyPerky · 28/09/2016 16:34

oh pipe down Legend- you aren't a moderator.

pregnantat50 · 28/09/2016 16:34

Dark humour is sometimes used as a distraction to the pain the Op was in.

But I agree with LegendofBeans - this thread isn't the place to discuss
language. Primary concern should be with Op.

Stopyourhavering · 28/09/2016 16:35

I wonder how many other marriages this 'friend' has ruined if she's known to send photos to other men

DerekSprechenZeDick · 28/09/2016 16:35

It's because OP has returned so people are struggling with lack of drama so making there own

True fact

OP when you manage to get back on here, maybe you could get this moved to relationships or start a new thread over there.

I really am so sorry for you, that your world has come crashing in, there are people here that are genuinely thinking of you and your feelings right now Flowers

Buck3t · 28/09/2016 16:36

Did I really say -'kind regards-'?

GinSoakedBarroomQueenInMemphis · 28/09/2016 16:36

Those of you outraged by the misogynistic comments about women ... you do realise you're posting on a thread with a title about cutting off a man's penis don't you?

HannahLily2014 · 28/09/2016 16:36

The second OW started sending porn the ops husband she became immune from any 'girl code' I'd say 'slack fanny' is pretty fucking tame considering what she's been up to!

Hope you're ok op WineFlowers
