To send this to a married man

It's been sent but I'd like to see what people say.

A man who's turned out to be married has been chatting with me and arranging to meet. Also being very flirty and sexual toned in conversation that I did not like and sent unsolicited "pictures." Guess what type.

He's been sent a moonpig postcard telling him to stop flirting and messing around in the new year and not to send pictures of his bits and pieces to women who've not asked.

I can't believe he's only done it the once. I chose a postcard because of the embarrassment factor. The postman will see it and it'd make him look a fool explaining to his wife if she picks it up from the mat.

Not bitter or jealous, he's a complete tool who I don't want. AT ALL.

That’s what the poster said you were jealous of. I’m sure some mistresses are jealous of the wife.
Personally I think you’ve done the right thing.
Hopefully he was telling the truth about no kids at home.

And not at all Fatal Attraction.

Why the fuck would anyone be jealous of the wife of a self serial cheat? And I'm pretty sure that no woman wants a relationship with a git like this either @Lex345.

Do you not think the police have more important things to do , you know like real crimes !!!

god sake block and move on !!

can see why you’re single if you overreact like this .

Didn't you know that sending unsolicited pictures like that is a criminal offence?

She doesn’t want anyone destroying her perceived married life.

I actually agree with this and have no idea why you called me a rape apologist, a wife of a cheater and all the other things you said to me. I reported that post btw.

I wouldn’t say I blindly trusted him.

Due to trauma in my childhood I am unfortunately hyper vigilant of men and so I have trust issues.

But I was very young, years before working with convicted men. We dated for months before having sex. We went away on trips, I met his family etc.
There were no signs he had a family.

I of course spent time wondering whether I was to blame and if I should have seen the signs. But I realised that I was not to blame and he was the only one in the wrong.

I work with rapists a lot. I have been trained in how to physically defend myself, as well as psychological tactics that may help.
But that does not mean I am ever safe from being raped.
It would not be ‘ironic’ if I got raped. It would be awful.
Just like it would not be ‘ironic’ if I ever got cheated on - it would be shit and would be no fault of my own.

You sound like you are victim blaming.

It would never be my fault if I was cheated on or got with a man who was a cheater - it would be his fault.
Just like the wife in this scenario has no fault in this at all.

I am not sure why this thread has posters trying to blame/judge anyone but the actual person who was cheating.

I wonder how you managed to interpret my post as thinking it would be ironic if you were raped. Of course that’s not what I said, or meant. I’m not victim blaming because you’re not a victim.

Of course it’s not your fault for trusting someone who turned out to be a liar. It’s wise to be hyper vigilant of any man imo.

The irony (to me) is in you thinking you can tell who’s risky, yet being taken in by a liar. It proves that you - and none of us - have a radar to help us out. If that were true no one would ever be cheated on or lied to. Distrust everyone until they prove otherwise.

Police won't be interested in dick pics, you also need to be thinking of your own safety here, who knows what he's capable of? Does he know your address? Will the postcard have sender details name/address on it?

They will.

For the hard-of-understanding.

There is a huge difference between saying the photos may not be HIM (and therefore a fake one) and 'excusing a flasher'.
I take issue with this because I have been sexually assaulted twice, in public.

Edited

Read your posts. I am sorry that happened to you. I have too.

bigboykitty · 06/12/2025 15:35

LotzofLurve · 06/12/2025 15:23

And you too. Pretty disgusting reply to someone who's been assaulted.

Edited

Does you being assaulted somehow negate what you have said on this thread? Stop making pathetic excuses for abusive men. I have done nothing but support the OP and say that men are 100% responsible for the consequences of their abusive actions and that includes what has happened to you.

AutumnLeavesFallingFast · 06/12/2025 15:28

No,she's made the wife the victim!

Both women are victims.

rainbowsandraspberrygin · 06/12/2025 15:38

Not sure why so many people are quizzing OP trying to catch her out.

I really hope kids aren’t involved but other than that I did think it was quite a unique move to send the postcard!!

some men are disgusting. Why do they think we want to see their penises (is that the plural? It doesn’t look right 🤔).

Defrostedmariahcarey · 06/12/2025 15:41

Meh, I find it weird that you’ve done this. He is absolutely in the wrong, and you aren’t wrong, but this is weird.
its even weirder you’re on mumsnet telling everyone what you’ve done.

Blueskiesandrainbows · 06/12/2025 15:46

I know you say you know it’s him OP but you have no proof whatsoever. If you have found all this info about your mystery man so easily then he could have done exactly the same thing and assumed someone else’s persona.
What you’ve done is a nasty sneaky thing to do to anyone, in a grown up world people would just block and move on, you really don’t sound like a nice person at all, especially as you’re so proud of yourself!

Well, you've done it now so whatever happens, happens.

I hope he was telling the truth about no children at home because while I do generally believe people should not be protected from the consequences of their actions, this feels a little much.

And even that it’s his house! What if it is the house of a friend? Or a total stranger.

can someone please enlighten me is the postcard a picture of his…bits?

Edited to say I guess not or the post office might have reported it.

Just step away. His family have done nothing to you, so don’t be spiteful. 🤷‍♀️

I can’t believe the vitriol towards the op. Ingrained misogny at its finest. Be dignified, be silent, stfu. Don’t ruin a man’s reputation in the eyes of his family. Fuck all of that. No. He’s the prick and deserves to see the consequences of his actions.

This.

We teach our kids not to worry about being polite when someone behaves inappropriately towards them. We don't say "but it might make their family sad, so we only whisper when we are being abused".

The only cringe thing about any of this is a grown man sending unsolicited pictures of his penis to OP.

bigboykitty · 06/12/2025 16:01

And the 'grown up' men trolling on this thread to stick up for married-dick-pic-man

ThatCyanCat · 06/12/2025 16:02

Differentforgirls · 06/12/2025 15:05

So you'd be ok with your husband sending pictures of his penis to other women, but not ok with the other women objecting to it?

That's sad.

What's sad is the predictable dishonesty that I always get when I have this discussion.

You, like all the others, know full well that a performative and explosive bomb in the life of a stranger is not the same as objecting to a dick pic or even reporting it as the crime it is (if it's investigated then I'll find out anyway, in a far less performative manner that doesn't actually weaponise me or my family). You also know that it doesn't mean I think unsolicited dick pics are OK.

So why are you guys always so dishonest about it and talk disingenuous shit like this? Is it because you want to tell me off for not wanting to be treated this way? You can have your preferences, I'll have mine. You'd appreciate a shitty note like this through your door, I wouldn't. I don't have to like and accept the things you like or take the risks with strangers that you would.

MrMucker · 06/12/2025 16:02

I see you went and got yourself a large shovel this afternoon op.

Beenwhereyouareagain · 06/12/2025 16:03

IslaSkywalker · 06/12/2025 11:25

I don't think a man who loves and respects his wife would act like him.

The fact is you have no idea how he will treat her after this. Is he violent? Is she? Or suicidal, maybe?

He deserves the scorn and humiliation, but his wife does not. There are ways to let someone know without notifying the postie, the neighbor who got the wrong mail, the friend or family member who picks up the mail as a favor.

The facts are that he's truly disgusting and breaking the law, but you have no idea who will see the postcard, and you threw a hand grenade into an innocent person's life 3 weeks before Christmas. Is that the lesson you actually meant to teach? If you'd gone to the police they might have called him in for a warning, which would have put the fear of God or his wife into him.

I didn't say any of this to make you feel bad, but in hopes it might make someone else think twice. Maybe the postcard will be returned to sender, and you can find a less destructive way to put him in his place.
