To tell this poor woman her bloke is a cheating twat?

About 6 years ago I met this guy on Fab Swingers (for those who are not familiar, it's an adult hook up site mostly, not just for die hard swingers, no pun intended). I was single, I didn't want a relationship, but did want the odd shag. He came over a few times during the day over the course of a few weeks/months. Very hot, very good shag, few years younger than me, nice guy, or so it seemed. He told me he lived with his brother, not that I gave too much of a shit, but like me he said he was single and just looking for something casual. Of course you never really know the truth but I would only meet other single guys as let's face it there's enough of them without needing to go near the ones who are taken.

I had his number saved in my phone, so a few months after the last time I'd seen him, Facebook helpfully brought him up as a friend suggestion. Turns out his name wasn't what he said it was, and after Facestalking him a bit it turned out that not only was he in a relationship, at the time which we started shagging, his girlfriend was 6 months pregnant and they now had a baby. Her profile was very open and there were lots of lovey dovey posts about her wonderful man etc.

I had a break from Fab and when I went back on a year or so later under a different profile, this same guy messages me. I did a quick Facestalk of him and yep, he was still with this woman he'd had the baby with. I messaged him back saying something along the lines of "how's Sue and the baby?" (not real name obvs). He obviously shat his pants, sent me an abusive message back and then blocked me.

Fast forward to today, I went back onto Fab after ages of not being on there. Within minutes, guess who messages me wondering if I'd like to meet for a shag? He clearly doesn't know that it's me (different profile and pics from my last one). I ransacked the deepest archives of my brain for his real name and Facestalked him again. Seems him and Sue split up, and he promptly got together with another girl, let's call her Laura. She must have got pregnant very quickly as they have 2 year old twins. Both of their profiles are quite open, both saying in a relationship, lots of happy family photos, posts of them together from less than 48 hours ago.

So I message him back and ask 'will Laura be there too?'. He has just messaged me saying 'I'm not with her'. Obviously he's lying but I feel really sorry for his poor girlfriend who just like the last one has no idea what a dirty little shitbag he is. I have screenshots of his messages, with cock and face pics attached. Just been back onto Fab while writing this and he's hidden his profile. Should I send these screenshots to Laura so she knows the truth and can get herself down to the GUM clinic pronto? On the one hand it's none of my business but on the other hand if this was my bloke and father of my babies I think I would want to know.

I'd want to know.

SuchAToDo · 01/10/2019 08:46

I would tell her...but wouldn't send the pictures with dick out (isn't it illegal to send on naked photos of others with the revenge porn laws...you don't want to end up getting yourself in hot water)

If you think he would come after you then just don't bother...I mean he's nothing to you, stop stalking him, let him live his life with whoever he is with...you sound almost obsessed to be stalking his partners too

EleanorReally · 01/10/2019 08:46

good for you penmanship,
that is your opinion

Snowman123 · 01/10/2019 08:50

I wouldn't tell. I get the feeling he would just talk himself out of it - claiming they were old photo's or come up with some other excuse.

As someone said, you went down the NSA route - he wasn't entirely honest, but what do you have to personally gain by telling her?

Totalwasteofpaper · 01/10/2019 08:51

The OP is not asking for moral judgement of this man she is asking if she should inform a woman who could be coming to physical harm via STDs whether or not said woman should be informed.
If you were Laura would you not want to know? I bloody well would...

Also if Laura is into swinging too (which I doubt as he has lied about his background) then it’s no harm, no foul as she won’t care...

penmanship · 01/10/2019 08:56

@EleanorReally “my opinion” being that it’s ok for women to enjoy sex? Yes, it’s great the things you believe when you live in the 21st century, you should try it sometime.

December2019 · 01/10/2019 08:58

If this was my OH who I'd just had a baby/babies too I'd want to know... mainly so I could hit him in the face with the frying pan and get my lady bits checked

Pretenditsaplan · 01/10/2019 08:59

Its literally a swingers site. Chances are his partner/partners know already. However you crossed a line by looking at his fb. I dont beleive it was suggested to you for one second. You went lookibg for it with whatever small details you had. Part of on that that sute is being discrete. Just because you had an orgy with the vicar and his wife dossnt mean you get to discuss it loudly at church. Either step away from the whole thing or learn how these things work.

Jellybeansincognito · 01/10/2019 09:00

Please tell her, I would want to know.

Morgan12 · 01/10/2019 09:06

I'd tell her

Seren10 · 01/10/2019 09:10

Definitely tell her.

MarianaMoatedGrange · 01/10/2019 09:11

@EleanorReally

the op is asking for moral judgement of this man, but we are not welcome to judge her?

OP is single, this man is not.

SapphireSeptember · 01/10/2019 09:15

@EleanorReally
the op is asking for moral judgement of this man, but we are not welcome to judge her? double standards

No, it really isn't. OP is a single woman engaging in consensual sex, this dude is cheating on his partner and the mother of his kids. No contest. Hmm

OP, I'd tell her, although be careful about it. Obviously if this dude retaliates you should go to the police.

EleanorReally · 01/10/2019 09:19

This is what happens when you lie with dogs op

Butchyrestingface · 01/10/2019 09:19

If people's backgrounds are important to you when hooking up then I recommend not engaging in casual sex with strangers.

This.

Also, he’s already sent you an abusive message when he realised you’d rumbled him. Do you still live where you lived before? I’d stay well out of this.

EleanorReally · 01/10/2019 09:20

Just who did you think you were going to meet?
and if it is purely sex why are you digging any further?

Yabbers · 01/10/2019 09:24

It’s actually depressing to see a woman being judged for being sexually active and making choices about her own sexuality.

As far as I can see the judgement is for A) thinking he would be single B) thinking she should tell the partner.

Unless it was in that one deleted comment, I haven’t seen much judging for a hook up.

margaritaproblems · 01/10/2019 09:24

I would message her with screenshots. If you don't send screenshots she may not believe you. And if you don't message her she may not go to gum clinic.

Definitely do it but be nice and consider her feelings and explain that's why you're doing it

shwingshwing · 01/10/2019 09:24

Regular poster but this is my throwaway account for anything Fab-related Grin

I’d love to see @EleanorReally on Fab, bet she looks hot in those judgy pants she has wedged up her arse! Wink

I wouldn’t get involved OP, just block him. Like of interest, what area is he in? Hope I’ve not met him Blush

shwingshwing · 01/10/2019 09:24

Out*, not like

Crazybunnylady123 · 01/10/2019 09:25

Op you should just stay out of it I think. You haven’t done anything wrong. Just stay away and block this man. “Laura” will find out one way or another. You don’t want this man getting nasty he is nothing in your life. Just move on!

NoCauseRebel · 01/10/2019 09:26

Actually I think that moral judgement of a person who goes on swingers sites knowing full well that most of the men on there will be married is perfectly ok.

So actually, OP has no issue with shagging married men, just as long as she doesn’t have to know they’re married. That hardly makes her a paragon of virtue, and I have no issue with judging someone for that.

If you want no strings sex then do it with a friend, someone whose history you at least have some vague knowledge of. Don’t go on a site where you know that there’s a 99% chance the man is in a relationship and then go all moral judge and jury when you find out that he is.

ShirleyPhallus · 01/10/2019 09:27

i wouldn’t be happy if you were my daughter op

100% prime MN right there ^^

Latenightthinking22 · 01/10/2019 09:34

I'd tell her.

She deserves to make an informed decision about her own life.

nokidshere · 01/10/2019 09:35

Have I missed something? Aren't swingers people who are in a relationship swapping and having sex with other people who are also in relationships.? Or single people who want to have sex with other couples? Surely by the very definition of it the majority are going to be married or in a relationship already?

And if you want casual, no strings sex why are you getting so involved with this mans life?
