This is a quick yes no question ..if your partner had been on the app how would you respond? I’d be interested in the results ..

He'd be dumped

SC215 · 28/02/2022 18:13

End it. Trust gone.

Hopefullyoneday12 · 28/02/2022 18:13

Would he let me see the message exchanges

OkThenJustChill · 28/02/2022 18:13

It would be over.

SC215 · 28/02/2022 18:14

Someone would have to have found him and tell me though, I wouldn't be on a dating app.

Winday · 28/02/2022 18:14

Yes I would. (And have). It's a clear precursor to cheating.

Kilimanjaro97 · 28/02/2022 18:14

I think you need to tell people what YABU and YANBU mean in this context.

FWIW I would end it if I found serious partner on dating app.

Xpologog · 28/02/2022 18:14

Yes. Couldn’t be anything else.

ThanksItHasPockets · 28/02/2022 18:15

Of course I would

999caffeineplease · 28/02/2022 18:15

100% end it

Boopeedoop · 28/02/2022 18:16

Done. Finished. End of.

Without trust there's no relationship.

Startuplife · 28/02/2022 18:17

100% he would be gone. I know myself and I’d never be able to completely trust him again. I’d hate to live a life second guessing everything

Yes, clarify what you want your YABU / YANBU to mean.

But to answer the actual Q.
How would I respond - it would be over.

jelly79 · 28/02/2022 18:18

@Hopefullyoneday12 genuine interest. Why? Surely there can be no valid reason he went on a dating app to exchange innocent messages?

Dumped

herehere22 · 28/02/2022 18:18

His bags will get packed in minutes 😬

herehere22 · 28/02/2022 18:18

A girl I knew met her partner on a dating app. He moved into her home quickly and she discovered he was still on the app and used the excuse 'I've just never deleted it'. He was still actively exchanging photos with women on there.

She forgave him and they got engaged and a few months later she found out he was still on there and was meeting up with random women for sex.

I wish I could say that's when she binned him but nope, still together!

labyrinthlaziness · 28/02/2022 18:20

Yes immediately, I can't imagine doing anything else.

Unless it was a DH, and then I would wait until after getting all the financial paperwork etc.

HangOnToYourself · 28/02/2022 18:23

Yes it would be over trust is gone

GreyCarpet · 28/02/2022 18:24

I kicked my exh out when I discovered he was. No message history - just a profile - but that was enough. It wasn't even a conscious decision, I was saying the words, "I want you out," before I'd even thought about it.

Lolabray · 28/02/2022 18:28

Thanks all.. I’ve left mine for this but sometimes I question myself probably because he denied even being on it (technology doesn’t lie)

TeeBee · 28/02/2022 18:28

Oh he'd be gone without a second thought.

Thank you! I voted YABU then changed it when I realised others had voted the other way. I always think OK YABU is yes and YANBU as no haha

I knew someone whose boyfriend had a very serious long affair and she still married him and had kids. I do wonder if she’s genuinely happy and can trust him again. Personally I know I couldn’t.

clpsmum · 28/02/2022 18:38

& didn't first time around, or the second time but third time and a decade later I did. Wish idve done it first time around
