This is what I'm writing to his wife after 'lockdown'- any suggestions for tweaks?

Hi, please don't shoot me. Flowers

I was involved with someone who turned out to be quite dodgy. Some of you will recognized the details- have name changed just in case he views posts under my other usernames.

I think his wife should know about the hundreds of sexual assignations he's had outside marriage. I don't particularly have an axe to grind now, I just genuinely think she should know. She's in her mid 50s, she could choose a different life if she wanted.

Some people on various forums already gave me a lot of help writing this. Do any of you have any other tweaks you can suggest? All names etc have been changed.

Hi Sue, I thought you deserved to know what’s happening.

Bob is constantly seeking opportunities for encounters.

He was having an involvement with me for the best part of 18 months, from July 2018 until January 2020. I blocked him because I realized what he was like. I'm really sorry and won’t interfere in your marriage again.

Whenever he said he was with Fred and me, he was just with me. Sometimes he maybe said he was with us overnight, or gave some other excuse to be away; he was just with me. After I took him back home from his treatment, three times a week, there was some activity involved.

There’s a woman he’s seeing at times at his treatment, called Lucy. Maybe he said he was setting off early before treatment solely to give her a lift. That is not always the case. He also sometimes meets her in the afternoons.

He talks to a woman online called Eve. He has encouraged her to send him explicit photographs and videos. He’s frequently propositioning women online and asking for photos or to meet.

The first woman he mentioned having had an affair with was called Suzie and lived in Blackpool. I think that started at some point while he was studying at Manchester and finished a while after he finished there.

Around six years ago he was seeing Mina who attended the gaming club at the time. At one point they went to a bed and breakfast for a night, I think somewhere up north. His involvement with her lasted a few months.

He is bisexual and also goes to ‘adult cinemas’ where he engages in acts with several male strangers at a time. He’s been doing this for decades and it will have been hundreds if not thousands of men. He does not tend to use protection for his activities there. He tries to get women to go along to the cinema with him to join in with these pursuits, and sometimes succeeds.

There’s another woman, also called Sue, who he’s been involved with at times over the years. He invited her to go to the cinema/swingers’ clubs too. He didn’t mention this woman to me, so it just goes to show that what I’m able to let you know is just the tip of the iceberg.

There’s another dimension to this in that the women he targets or succeeds with tend to be vulnerable, or at a vulnerable time in their lives. He is exploitative, coercive and manipulative. He also lies to get what he wants, including about the nature of your relationship. Some women didn’t give meaningful consent as it was when they were ill, through exploiting their vulnerabilities, or it was given under false pretenses.

Sorry to let you know about all this, but I thought you should be aware.

-Judy.

P.S. If you want more evidence or to discuss this further, you can contact me

Catch yourself on fs

Fatted · 15/04/2020 22:55

I wouldn't OP. What do you honestly hope to achieve from it, especially by giving her your details?

Bluntness100 · 15/04/2020 22:55

Have you just posted your email address?

Funny you didn’t think she should know when you were shagging him.

Helga55 · 15/04/2020 22:56
Hmm
AnyFucker · 15/04/2020 22:56

What is the point ?

MissMarks · 15/04/2020 22:57

Gave up reading a third of the way down. Leave the woman alone. You have no idea what her mental health is like. She probably already knows what he has been up to and has chosen to stay. Just stay away from her.

SmileyClare · 15/04/2020 22:57

Sorry but Stop obsessing and move on. You're not being noble, you're grinding an axe. Delete all of it.

ShreksAuntie · 15/04/2020 22:57

You’ve put your email address on this

Gazelda · 15/04/2020 22:57

You're after revenge, aren't you? You want to him to suffer. But she's going to suffer too. And you are partly to blame for her suffering. Leave it be.

middleager · 15/04/2020 22:57

What the hell is wrong with you?

Londubh · 15/04/2020 22:58

You got good advice last time you posted about doing this, which you’re doing solely to punish him for leaving you, so cut the faux-sincere ‘she deserves to know’ stuff. The advice was not to write and to move on with your life.

AnyFucker · 15/04/2020 22:58

I really think you need some intervention with your mental health

Walk
Away

SmileyClare · 15/04/2020 22:59

Get your e mail address deleted off your post. Confused

Hillocrew · 15/04/2020 22:59

You'd no conscience for 18 months and now suddenly you think everything should be out in the open.

Also if you've had help to write that letter on another forum why the he'll you posting it here???
Just move on with your own stuff and as you've said in your letter don't interfere in their marriage or anyone's ever again

Mucklowe · 15/04/2020 23:00

U ok hun?

Fidgety31 · 15/04/2020 23:01

Tbh if you were this guys wife - wouldn’t you offer to know what he’s been up to though ?

bedtimebrew · 15/04/2020 23:02

Don't. If I was his wife I truly wouldn't want to know.

merryhouse · 15/04/2020 23:03

Don't do it.

Shadowdoor21 · 15/04/2020 23:03

No. No no no.

If you want to tell her then tell her about yourself and your affair with him. Tell her that you are over now but that he is seeing others and... also about the gay stuff ..maybe. But not screes and screes like you have written. Just 3 or 4 sentences.

Honestly, she probably already knows.

ellabella18 · 15/04/2020 23:03

You need to get your email address removed

TARSCOUT · 15/04/2020 23:04

Skim read most of it. Think she probably perfectly aware of what he's like. Forget it and move on.

SmileyClare · 15/04/2020 23:04

I agree with pps. If you've put this much energy into revenge- posting on "various forums" compiling all this then you've become obsessed. Stop entertaining any of this for the sake of your own mental health.

crimsonlake · 15/04/2020 23:05

Are you for real?

Divebar · 15/04/2020 23:05

You were involved with him for 18 months and none of those things about him bothered you. Now you’re not together you feel compelled to tell his wife when she may not be in a position to see any friends or family to get support and you’re trying to paint this as some kind of noble act ? You’re deluded.
