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

I can understand you wanting to send this, and I will go against the grain and say go ahead. Yes, the wife does deserve to know....although if he really is that bad, she may already have some idea. But maybe with someone else putting it bluntly she may realise what a dreadful situation she's in and may have the courage to leave...or then again, not.

Long, long ago I knew someone who seemed OK and relationship material and then, slowly, it turned out he was shagging half of England and not 'estranged and about to be divorced' as he'd made out. I wish I'd known differently at time, I would have welcomed someone telling me....

GoofyLuce · 16/04/2020 08:09

OP the fact that you've disappeared from this thread proves that what your planning to do is not with good intentions.

I do agree that she needs to know that her husband is having unprotected casual sex with people so she can get a full STI check but that is as far as your letter should go.

This isn't his wife's fault. He is the scumbag (a scumbag that you were happily shagging for 18 months Hmm)

Why do you feel the need to let her know now. Why not last year or the year before? Why now?

Also, please stop trying to play the victim and act like you care about this woman...You don't and if your relationship with this man would have continued you wouldn't be wanting to do this.

Sorry that he didn't 'choose you' but your a grown woman and need to get a grip now.

VettiyaIruken · 16/04/2020 08:11

If it was me, I would want to know and I wouldn't care what your motivation was.

But that letter is cruel. It is almost gleeful. Haha look how your whole life is a lie.
If you feel you must destroy this innocent woman in order to have revenge on her husband, at least pretend to be kind.

NekoShiro · 16/04/2020 08:12

Sounds good, if I was the wife that's what I'd want to know, details that proved it to me, not some vague message my husband could deny. The husband brought a third person into the marriage so its his fault if she gets hurt finding out.

MadameMeursault · 16/04/2020 08:14

So you want to ruin her life to get revenge on him? Classy, OP. Let it go. Ffs.

FabulouslyElegantTits · 16/04/2020 08:19

Nasty!

butterpuffed · 16/04/2020 08:25

I'm sure his wife will already know as he seems to spend any spare time shagging both men and women. There's no way she could be unaware of so many encounters without someone dropping hints, hearing whispers.

However, I bet she won't have any emails with all the detailed information you're sending. She'll probably roll her eyes, delete it, block you and carry on with her life.

QWeRTY12340 · 16/04/2020 08:26

Whats the older threats does anyone have a link?

BreatheAndFocus · 16/04/2020 08:28

I wouldn’t send that and I doubt your motives. If you need to send anything, keep it very short and remove all those examples. It sounds like gloating, and an attempt to hurt her.

mrsfury · 16/04/2020 08:31

I can't find the previous posts. Can anyone share the link?

Oh and OP you sound unhinged. Forget the letter, get some counseling and focus on you. Stop pretending you have morals because clearly you don't and don't even think about sending that email. You want revenge that's clear and you're quite prepared to crush an innocent women in all of this. As if opening your legs to her husband for 18 months wasn't bad enough.

carriebreadshaw · 16/04/2020 08:35

I don't think you should send it. And I agree with others that if you really thought she deserved to know you'd have told her long ago. It would be different if you didn't know he was married then found out, put a stop to it, and told her straight away.

But anyway, if you are insistent on sending it - I'd suggest taking out all the silly replacement words for sex "encounters" "involvement" etc. It's insulting to her intelligence.

I'd also try to give it to her via a supportive friend because if you just send it you've no idea what state she'll receive it in

But anyway, no, I would t send it at all

iano · 16/04/2020 08:36

It's too much information and would be very cruel to send.
Is the no consent thing is about your situation? I have a recollection of a thread that could have been posted by you. How do you know he has done this to others? Your letter says women rather than talking about yourself.
Either way please don't send this. You are in need of help. Have you got a counsellor? Please tell them about this. You can explore this need you feel to tell her with them. I'm sorry you are struggling and really hope you can get help and move on.

VividImagination · 16/04/2020 08:36

If all this is true then it’s most likely she already knows. Please don’t send this. Especially not during lockdown.

Notajogger · 16/04/2020 08:38

Agree with @Shadowdoor21 - keep it brief and to the point. You could offer to give her further details if she wants them & suggest she gets an STI check.
I would be very surprised if all the posters on here wouldn't want to know if their partner was cheating, but what you are suggesting sending, if this woman has no idea, could seriously mess her up.

PurpleFlower1983 · 16/04/2020 08:40

The wife will know, it’s probably a marriage of convenience but she’s happy to go along with it. Leave them alone.

GaaaaarlicBread · 16/04/2020 08:40

I somehow think OP isn’t coming back.

forrestgreen · 16/04/2020 08:43

This says more about you than him or his wife.
You knew all this and had an affair with that pile of shite?

nighttimetalk · 16/04/2020 08:44

You sounds like a crazed stalker.......

Ellapaella · 16/04/2020 08:44

If that's all true then surely his wife must know already. And I have to say if you knew all this about him why the hell did you carry on with him for 18 months? 🤮

Itsallgonewoowoo · 16/04/2020 08:45

Oh OP, this man did manipulate you, you were vulnerable but it's over. For your own mental health you need to let it go. If you must a simple one line text to her but then let it drop. You are obsessed and bitter, I recall your other threads, this one is still revenge seeking not noble.

FlaskMaster · 16/04/2020 08:46

She needs to get an STD tedt and she deserves to make an informed decision on her marriage, so stop revelling in the details and the tweaks and just send it. I also agree with the pp who said wtf is an involvement? If you mean a sexual relationship then say so.

StealthMama · 16/04/2020 08:48

That's the worst written 'reveal all' note I've ever seen. It sounds totally fabricated and exaggerated.

Your use of English language makes your descriptions and scenarios sound very strange indeed. Are you sure people helped you? If so I'm not sure they were really 'helping'. It makes you sound like a strange/unwell person. If I received this letter there's no way I'd contact you. If I received more than one letter like this, I'd probably contact the police.

You have no idea of what she does or doesn't know about her husband. This has malicious intent all over it. Why are you assuming she doesn't know...?

You are aggrieved and bitter at what you know about this man. Leave it at that and deal with your emotions like an adult.

PutThemInTheIronMaiden · 16/04/2020 08:50

All these responses and she’ll send it anyway.

Nanny0gg · 16/04/2020 08:51

If this is real, how bloody dare you?

You've been complicit in potentially ruining her life. You now want to make absolutely sure of it?

Fuck off with all the sanctimonious crap and leave her alone.

dazzlinghaze · 16/04/2020 09:01

I remember your first thread that mentioned the adult cinemas, I don't remember you mentioning he was married...

I do think the poor woman deserves to know she could be riddled with STI's but not like this! It's clear your letter isn't coming from a place of compassion, it's to get back at him! If you must do it, please keep it short, factual and to the point. Lose the faux sympathy.
