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

If you post the pics, you could get in the shit and at the very least you would look a tad unhinged.

Sorry this has happened to you

Revenge porn is a crime.

Save lots of evidence. I would meet with your old soon to be ex best friend in a coffee shop or something (under the guise of a catch up), and when there present her with her own nude photo prints. Then quietly, but with your head held high, leave her there.

The above won't work if your husband knows you know, he'll almost certainly tell her you know.

I am very sorry you've been betrayed by both your husband and your best friend. That is absolutely and utterly horrible.

Jesus op how awful

I would completely want some nasty fucking revenge

Has she a partner?

Good advice from other posters RE not posting on fb

JenLindleyShitMom · 28/09/2016 13:29

She's the one who broken the law here for distributing pornographic images, not him

Is that illegal? Confused

JustGettingStarted · 28/09/2016 13:30

Start a twitter account from his phone. Post photos to twitter. Make a point of following her as well as other mutual acquaintances.

Lose phone and deny all knowledge.

McPie · 28/09/2016 13:30

How horrible and heart breaking for you. Please don't post the naked pictures, you are angry (as I would be too) and it is so not a good idea. Take one of his packed bags and post that instead.

SarcasmMode · 28/09/2016 13:30

No, don't.

In blind anger you could get violent and be in real trouble.

KungFuPandaWorksOut · 28/09/2016 13:30

If the messages were sent via whatsapp depending on your settings photos automatically save to camera roll. But still doesn't look good.
Call his bluff when he returns, say you've spoke to her and know the truth.
posting naked photos for revenge carries sentencing and fines! Josie Cunningham was actually up in court for the exact same thing!

Pinkbabe1 · 28/09/2016 13:31

She has a husband and 5 children. He will be one of the first people I tell!

So sorry he has done this Flowers, please don't post the pics on fb, neither of them are worth getting in trouble for. I think (but I might be wrong so happy to be corrected) isn't there a way to "undelete" messages on an iphone or is that only for photos?

ReedBunting · 28/09/2016 13:32

Don't post on Facebook or anywhere else for that matter. How absolutely awful for you.

milkyface · 28/09/2016 13:32

Oh Christ I'm so sorry.

Don't post the photos though it won't help!

I'm glad to hear you're kicking him out and telling her husband though.

KungFuPandaWorksOut · 28/09/2016 13:33

If your friend is over 18 it is not Illegal to send naked images of yourself. The law is there to stop people being humiliated, as you posting them on the Internet for everybody to see, wasn't her intention they was for your DH. That's why it's called revenge porn.

Wallywobbles · 28/09/2016 13:33

I wouldn't be in a hurry to give his phone back. Make sure you do a complete back up to another device he has no access to.

ReedBunting · 28/09/2016 13:33

But try to keep the moral high ground. Don't go round to hers. Just chuck him out and see a solicitor.

VestalVirgin · 28/09/2016 13:34

Don't post revenge porn. Seriously, don't. She has hurt you, but posting nude pics of other people in public places is a form of sexual assault. You are better than that.

It is your husband who has wronged you worst, and he will not suffer if HER pics are posted on facebook.
(I also recommend not cutting his penis off. I understand why you want to, but it is not worth the legal trouble.)

paddypants13 · 28/09/2016 13:34

Don't post anything online!

Make sure you screen shot the msgs and save them somewhere password protected so he can't delete them.

Well done for emptying the joint account.

Leave his bags outside and lock the doors. Call a solicitor and copy and important paperwork.

What utter shits your husband and friend are. I'm sorry for your pain op. Flowers

mycatstares · 28/09/2016 13:34

Don't go to her house op! Stay at home, make sure the door is locked so he can't get in then have a good cry and some Wine.

Have you got another close friend that can spend the evening with you so you can let everything out?

MitzyLeFrouf · 28/09/2016 13:34

Don't post the pics. Nothing stopping you from telling everyone you have them though.

Sorry this has happened to you. How bloody shocking it must be.

allsfairinlove · 28/09/2016 13:35

So sorry you're going through this.
It's hard but try and save your energy for the lawyers. Going round to her house will probably not end well whilst it's so raw and you need to keep the moral and legal high ground here.

SarcasmMode · 28/09/2016 13:35

He's the biggest fucker but she's not blameless either.

MillionToOneChances · 28/09/2016 13:36

Check all financial information - his personal accounts, pensions statements etc. Hold your fire until you have all the information you need for a divorce - you'll never have a better chance to get it.

Chillyegg · 28/09/2016 13:36

God your friend and husband are a pair of cunts.
Dont post them on Facebook, not because she doesn't deserve it but because sadly you will get done. I'd have it outo with both of them though

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 28/09/2016 13:36

Don't post, don't go to her house.

Wait until DH comes homes and confront him. What a pair of arse holes.
