Out of order to tell on someone having an Emotional Affair?

Found out a woman in our friendship group is having an EA with a chap she met. I've messaged one of his relatives I know with all the evidence. They share photos🤐and moan about his wife and her ex. The relative has checked out his profile and found him following camgirls and celebrity women making remarks. The relative is going to confront him with what she knows but not say how she knows.

IANBU - he's a sleaze who deserves all he gets
IABU - none of my beeswax

I don't have any time for cheaters, emotional or otherwise. If it turns out he's innocent, no harm done. If he's not, he deserves all he gets TBH.

From what two of us saw, he is most certainly far from innocent.

You are a busy body, who clearly thrives on drama. How do you know the state of anybody else's relationship?

SkirridHill · 02/09/2022 15:12

Wait, so you don't even know the husband and you're only vaguely connected to the woman (who is single)? You've not done this out of any vested interest, you've just dropped in and potentially torpedoed a few lives because you've become some kind of arbiter of morality?

I hope all your cakes burn forevermore.

You’ve been completely out of order to involve another member of the guy’s family!!

Isittrueornot · 02/09/2022 15:15

Get a life. You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. You should keep your nose out instead of delighting in others misery.

Womencanlift · 02/09/2022 15:15

I can’t stand cheaters but to be honest people who get involved unnecessarily in other people’s business are just as bad

You obviously think you did the right thing so unsure what you want from this thread, apart from people agreeing with you of course

A physical affair is concrete. An emotional affair is too open to interpretation. As an outside observer, you can’t really know if a friendship between two adults is appropriate or not (barring particular extenuating circumstances where the friendship existing at all is inappropriate).

Fairylightsongs · 02/09/2022 15:25

I don’t think this thread is going to go the way you hoped op. You aren’t looking good. It’s quite cringe.

The relative is going to confront him with what she knows
I bet you're moist with anticipation...

Itsnottheendoftheworldisit · 02/09/2022 16:37

If my husband was having an emotional affair I would be glad someone had the decency to tell me. I don’t care about the motives behind the person that tells me either.
good for you. I hope if my husband was doing something shitty behind my back someone would have the balls to tell me. Even better to provide evidence so the wanker can’t lie his way out of it.

The woman in our group (social group is more of a descriptor than friendship group) who is the OW told me and another of our cake bakers what was happening and showed us pictures. Said they were planning to meet

My god. You really do need to get a life.

Lol. Sounds like this might be the most exciting thing that's happened to the OP in a while. Pure drama llama.

I'm not the OW. I'm married and have not and would not have an affair.

I don't actually have to tell you how I know. But I will say this. The woman in our group (social group is more of a descriptor than friendship group) who is the OW told me and another of our cake bakers what was happening and showed us pictures. Said they were planning to meet. So two of us know. I know the man's relative from somewhere else, so I told her. She dug around and found out more.

You don't have to tell anyone anything is the point, but you have chosen to tell rather too much to all the wrong people. Are you feeling morally superior? Because you really are not!
