I've been talking to a man from a dating site for a little while with the plan to meet soon. He claimed not to have facebook but lo and behold a quick search has shown me that he is married. Would you let his wife know he is online looking for other women? Hmm

Yeah! Definitely. Nothing to lose for you, and if I were her is want to know. Send her a link to his page and a screenshot of your emails.

LettertoHerms · 04/06/2014 06:51

I would feel compelled to do so, though it is not your responsibility. In my opinion, it seems like the right thing to do, and I would want to know if I was his wife. Perhaps screenshot the dating site profile, then message it to the woman - I would use a fake facebook profile, just for safety from any potential harassment.

I totally would I'd send her a link to the site he is on too. If it was my dh I would def want someone to tell me. Be cautious though did he say he used to me married could they be old pics etc x

If I was the wife I would absolutely want to know, she's probably completely oblivious. It's not the easiest thing to do but it's the right thing, good luck!

somedizzywhore1804 · 04/06/2014 07:08

Yes I would. If it was me I'd want to know.

What a muppet though, lying over something so fundamental and easy to get caught out over.

LettertoHerms · 04/06/2014 07:10

Good for you, op.

penguinplease · 04/06/2014 07:12

Yes I'd want to know! You should

WitchWay · 04/06/2014 07:19

What an idiot! Of course you were going to do a bit of ferreting before agreeing to meet him. Poor wife but you've done the right thing. Sad

Tealady1983 · 04/06/2014 07:22

Well done op. Keep us posted x

LumpySpacedPrincess · 04/06/2014 07:27

I would want to know. If he is following through on all of this then he is potentially putting his wife at risk.

obviouslyneedsupernanny · 04/06/2014 07:35

It's the fact he was so stupid. Does he really think I wouldn't search on facebook? You'd think e would at least try and cover his tracks rather than go for the easy route of denying he has Facebook. He has two kids as well which he never mentioned of course.

She hasn't read my message yet

She may not see it if it goes in the 'other' folder.

Tealady1983 · 04/06/2014 07:53

Send her a friend request it'll go to inbox then retracted request x

obviouslyneedsupernanny · 04/06/2014 07:53

I didn't realise there was an other folder

I had this with a guy on Tinder! Found him on FB, married with 2 kids, his wife had their wedding pic as her profile pic. I didn't msg her but was tempted to. Makes me laugh, how stupid, as Tinder is based on location anyone that lived near him who was on there cld hv seen him! Durr!

shesasillybitch · 04/06/2014 14:49

fablous thing to do- wot a cock - keep us posted

Cardinal · 04/06/2014 14:50

Well done OP!

Jan45 · 04/06/2014 14:59

YES, if anyone is taking the piss out of you, you should be told.

Tiptops · 04/06/2014 14:59

What an idiot.

Well done OP, you've done the right thing.
