Ok so I found this in DP's sent emails , asked him & he has 'no idea' & rushed off & deleted it. He is now angry with me!
Is it spam or what? I'm very suspicious & cross....

I have seen viruses that do things like this but they go to the entire address book.

Pinkbonbon · 24/10/2021 12:22

Looks to me that he has screenshotted random pics from the Internet and emailed them to himself in order to wank over. Pretty grim.

@Purpledasher
Why is he angry with you?

Cas112 · 24/10/2021 12:29

That’s not spam that’s an email he has sent to someone

WallaceinAnderland · 24/10/2021 12:45

Why would he tell you it's spam when he's the one who sent it. Does he think you're stupid?

AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair · 24/10/2021 12:49

Is sent mail spam even a thing? Is the email address a person's name or something anonymous?

FortunesFave · 24/10/2021 13:15

Google the email address

milcal · 24/10/2021 13:20

Do a Google image search of the photos. See if it comes up with anything.

BadNomad · 24/10/2021 13:27

Looks like screenshots from a video to me. What are you suspicious of?

PlanDeRaccordement · 24/10/2021 13:30

It’s a woman swimming in a bikini with troll red hair.
Nothing he wouldn’t see on holiday or in a lingerie catalog anyway.

I personally wouldn’t care about it. I think the reaction of deleting is a better reaction than clinging to them like they mean something?

You wouldnt have the slightest interest in why your DH might sending the email or who to? I can only imagine that if I'd already checked out of the relationship.
PlanDeRaccordement · 24/10/2021 13:48

@AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair
Nope. It’s just a woman in a bikini. Can see more than that watching Love Island or Too Hot to Handle! It’s harmless imho.

It really is because I am very secure in my relationship and have complete trust in my DH. We allow each other lots of freedom to admire photos or artwork of beautiful men and women.

GoingOutOutNEVER · 24/10/2021 13:52

Could be a WhatsApp pic sent to him
Or he’s lying and knows exactly what it is that he searched or was sent the pics because he wanted them

I know we're all different but emailing ,as you rightly point out, fairly innocuous images to someone else is unusual behaviour isn't it? Even without the denial, what could be the reason? A friend who has email but no way to search for photos of female swimmers Confused

My children do say I'm curious about everything though and I do find it hard to understand when people aren't interested in stuff Smile

Viviennemary · 24/10/2021 14:06

Its either shared porn or somebody he's having an affair with or about to have an affair with.

PlanDeRaccordement · 24/10/2021 14:15

No, I don’t understand. What is unusual about emailing innocuous images? Email is just one of many mediums for sharing images and sending messages? Why is it unusual? Not following you here.

An affair? How have you jumped to that?
WeRTheOnesWeHaveBeenWaitingFor · 24/10/2021 14:24

It’s someone he knows. If it wasn’t he just tell you, because sharing a pic of a hot girl is better than what you would assume from his behaviour.

Onthedunes · 24/10/2021 14:35

Yes it is someone he knows.

It's more like, hey Joe look what i've found it's Lucy from accounts or something.

Or it's a previous picture he's taken of Lucy and he's sending it back to her reliving the memories.

NautaOcts · 24/10/2021 15:00

Not necessarily recommending it, If you want to do more digging…

If you still have access to the email then I would see what else he has sent that email address or ‘they’ have sent him. Unlikely to be a one off

JesusIsAnyNameFree · 24/10/2021 15:03

If he really has no idea, why rush off to delete and then be angry with you?

He knows exactly what it is. At best it's something he found online and decided to wank to later, at worst it's pictures someone sent to him, presumably through tinypic before that went.

Sorry OP. Some men are shit Flowers

BringOnTheOtherWorlders · 24/10/2021 15:25

How is that porn? Looks like screen grabs from a hotel commercial.

PlanDeRaccordement · 24/10/2021 15:55

I’d be angry if my DH were actively monitoring and questioning my sent emails. Especially one that is innocuous like this. Then if he had the temerity to be “cross” with me over sending this email, I’d tell him not to be a controlling asshat.

FlyingWhistle · 24/10/2021 16:00

Reverse google image search the pics.

Google search the email address.

Tistheseason17 · 24/10/2021 16:01

Yeah, this stinks of something a bit off.
His reaction is well off, too.
