Husband has been sending flirty texts to another woman.

My husband has a friend who he used to work with who he hasn’t seen for years. They’ve stayed in touch and I’ve never had a problem with this. He had said in the past that nothing had eve happened between them but he had wanted it to. (When I confronted him about it he admitted they had kissed before) Recently, I found texts between the two of them that I feel were improper between friends. E.g. I’d like to unwrap you for Xmas, I love your t*ts etc…he’s also said unkind things about me and our children and some other family members. She has sent him self-indulgent, overly filtered selfies. He has sent her pictures of cards that he has kept that she sent him almost 20 years ago and notes that she had sent him. He claims that it is all an ‘in joke’ between them from when they worked together and that there is nothing romantic between them. I’m failing to believe this. Am I being unreasonable by not accepting what he is telling me? Any advice and opinions would be gratefully received as I’m going out of my mind with it all.

Aaaannnnddd, please give a warm welcome to @ZaraMuhammad - dragging women back to the 1950s in one sentence.

No, it's not my JOB to please my husband. My JOB is a teacher and I get paid to do it.

It's OUR CHOICE to be together and that makes BOTH OF US happier.

He may not have physically cheated OP, but that is definitely not just friendly texting.

Hes a lying scumbag, don’t let him lie his way out of it.

it is exactly what it looks like, don’t let him gaslight you

As a wife part of our responsibility is to please our husbands. What he done is wrong but sometimes we need to look at ourselves and ask questions

Now that is a vile response

Who on earth wrote that ridiculous response?

Wake up OP.

Shoulders back, tit’s out, deep breath. Then tell him to get the fuck out.

Then, find YOUR Mr Right. He isn’t it.

Does Mr Right exist.

All the people saying ‘get rid’ like they don’t have kids etc. if he wasn’t sorry maybe, but he has apologised profusely, and begged forgiveness. How about supporting her in trying to save her marriage?

I had a similar situation with a woman texting my partner from work! I walked out for the weekend and told him to end the friendship and block her if he valued me! He did and we are still together! Not saying to do the above as I don’t know your circumstances but you do need to show him you won’t put up with it! Otherwise it will just carry on.

LooseGoose22 · 28/03/2023 18:35

I love your tts*

Hers, or his moons?

Joking aside; how the fuck is I love your tits platonic??

He's correct in saying it's not romantic; it's sexual.

The other stuff sounds romantic.

Emotional affair verging on sexting.

He's gas lighting as hard as he can though.

Who on earth wrote that ridiculous response?

That "surrendered wife" women from the TV documentary who dressed on an oriental dress with stockings anf hand served her husband dinner etc every evening.... While their son was kept out of the way playing computer games in his room.

LooseGoose22 · 28/03/2023 18:38

He also wants her to note his devaluation of you and the children. I’d be incandescent that he involved them in his faithless agenda.

If the woman wasn’t living in another country would they be meeting up? This would definitely make me question my relationship

’I love your tits’ isn’t flirty.

He’s either shagging her, or trying to.

Bin.

100% in the bin
