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 ..

Another friend tired of her cheating spouse (who was on sundry dating apps) put a fake profile up for him spelling out his cheating ways. Took it down again after 3 days but not before she received several supportive cheering posts from women who appreciated how much spirit she was showing.

All these people saying they would leave their partner - I’m guessing only around 2% of them actually would or have 😕

@Globaluser

Don’t judge everyone by your low standards. There are plenty of us who have a sufficient sense of self worth and wouldn’t put up with thst kind of shit.

I’d sooner be alone forever.

It would depend really

I didn't dump OH for actually cheating and we worked it out and are still together nearly 20 years later. As hard as the decision was to stay together I now look back on it as one of the better choices I've made in life

@OneTC

I don’t know the circumstances in your case but whilst I’m not sure if I could forgive infidelity, I’d more easily forgive unintentionally falling for someone (colleague where there’s a connection etc) than being on dating apps which is entirely premeditated.

I’m glad things worked out for you.

I doubt it given around half of all marriages end in divorce anyway.

These days women are much more financially independent and so fewer people have to stay.

Yes it is hard to leave and some will stay but I know plenty who have ended relationships.

'Actively' on it - yes get rid.

Well your wrong there I’m sure cos I’ve now left 2 relationships one of which was marriage.. I’m sure a lot of people with any sense would see this as a red flag and get out

I'm sorry but why are you even asking this Q.

If we all said no, surely you'd know better.

Seriously. You've got the answer.

It would be nonsensical for you to do otherwise.

Quirkyme · 01/03/2022 00:44

I wouldn't even bother asking him anything - it's pretty self-explanatory. It would be ended already.

Why?

I did. I think most women would.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 01/03/2022 07:00

I did dump a partner for that. Turns out he'd been bringing them home to shag them in my bed while I was at work.

thepeopleversuswork · 01/03/2022 07:26

Yes absolutely if it was a committed relationship. No room for ambiguity there.

longwayoff · 01/03/2022 07:42

Yes, goodbye. It's contemptuous and disrespectful.
