To have exposed him to his family..

GroovyChick2k · 11/06/2022 11:06

My ex was messaging a young (18) girl behind my back while I was expecting. She was a close family friends daughter and was vulnerable at the time (homeless) and he sent her bank transfers in exchange for naked photos and videos.
I found this out after we split up. His friends and family were calling me all the names under the sun as I had started seeing someone else after we split, they never liked me anyway and would send me abuse on social media. We have 2 children. Ex was trying to get back with me and get our family back together.
So I got hold of the screen shots between him and this girl and sent them to his family. He said I've now ruined any chance of us getting back together(!!) I said I was sick of being made out to be the bad guy and it was time he was shown for who he is and how he was to me.
Was I in the wrong for doing so?

I don't know if it's right or not, but I'd probably have done the same.

I think you were totally reasonable..

MarmiteOnToast · 11/06/2022 11:10

Damn right! Id always do anything to show im not the bad guy.

clpsmum · 11/06/2022 11:11

Good for you I would've exposed him to everyone tbh. I'm absolutely ducking sick of hearing stories of women (including me) making life easier for their toxic exes and the toxic exes never taking responsibility. GOOD FOR YOU X

JackieQueen · 11/06/2022 11:12

I'd have probably done the same!💐

Youdoyoutoday · 11/06/2022 11:12

Well done!!

And what a cunt to manipulate a young, vulnerable girl like that!!

Windbeneathmybingowings · 11/06/2022 11:13

Boom. YANBU

Pollydonia · 11/06/2022 11:14

Tell the truth and shame the devil.

MrszClaus · 11/06/2022 11:15

As long as no naked photos were included in the screenshots, then I am totally on your side!

Windbeneathmybingowings · 11/06/2022 11:15

What a sicko as well, if he had any care for the girl who you say is a family friend 🤢 then he would have just sent the money

CookPassBabtridge · 11/06/2022 11:15

God that's gross... 18 years old! You poor thing, you must wonder who the hell he is.

Sharrowgirl · 11/06/2022 11:15

I think that’s fair enough in the circumstances. Though I hope you didn’t include the naked pictures in the screenshots

GroovyChick2k · 11/06/2022 11:17

Oh goodness no, there was no photos in the screen shot. It was basically him saying can I have that video of you having sex again for sending you that money and her trying to avoid his question.
I've told the girl I'm not mad at her as she feels ashamed and that I'll defend her if the family try to twist it back to her.

Absolutely the right thing.... why would you want to get back with a scumbag who takes advantage of a young vulnerable girl like that anyway?

What did his family have to say about his behaviour?

JustTheOneSwan · 11/06/2022 11:21

Windbeneathmybingowings · 11/06/2022 11:13

Boom. YANBU

Yeah this.
Fuck him, he clearly has painted you the villain or allowed it to go uncorrected.
If he tells you again you've ruined your chances tell him thank fuck for that,
scummer

I swear I’ve read this post before

purplecorkheart · 11/06/2022 11:24

That poor girl. Hope she will be ok. You did the right thing. How arrogant of him to think that you would ever take him back.

Definitely the right thing then!! He's a sick person manipulating and grooming someone like that, hopefully she has support and protection now that more people know n

I was thinking that, have you posted before OP?

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/06/2022 11:39

No.

SpindleSheWrote · 11/06/2022 11:42

Poor girl.

EducatingArti · 11/06/2022 11:44

He was the one who ruined any chance of you getting back together by paying for the videos surely?

Sofasogood1 · 11/06/2022 11:50

I'd have told the police too. Child sexual exploitation

Zpoa · 11/06/2022 11:51

I'd have done the same. Probably a lot sooner.

Figgygal · 11/06/2022 11:52

Absolutely you should have
What a peice of shit he is
