I've been married 20 yrs, 2 DC 12 and 14. It's been a rocky road for us. I really wished it hadn't have been. It is a way too long winded story to go into but there have been many times I should have left him over the years. Trust/dating sites/ etc. Lots of gaslighting and him trying to make out I'm taking things out of proportion/paranoid etc but he's crossed the line so many times I do wonder why I'm still with him sometimes. So a few days ago he mentioned instead of wfh (newish job) he could go into a local work location (not his as he's field based) rather than wfh. My spidey senses were up and I did question him on it. He said he finds it hard to wfh as too many distractions. I've been wfh 18 months all through homeschooling and found it ok. He mentioned the need to 'make coffee, put washing on, tidy up etc'. This is his first ever job he's been able to wfh at so I understand he finds it weird but he got v pissed off with me when I questioned him. I admit i was distrustful about his reasons. That night he slept in spare room. Next day he didn't end up working at said location (he wfh) and when I mentioned lack of distractions he got really arsey with me and said I was an idiot and an arsehole and kept asking why I was being sarcastic. In the end he came to the conclusion that I didn't trust him and I kept quiet. It's like the elephant in the room all the time with me. I really want to trust him. He's great in so many ways. I just don't trust him. I'm constantly waiting for the next 'thing'. So tonight he's come home from the football drunk and sloped off to bed and I've looked at his phone (never normally a chance). In fb spam messages I've found 2 dodgy looking messages. This is one of them. I've had some odd spam message over the yrs so I know stuff crops up on fb. What do you think?

What is the message?

crappytimes · 07/11/2021 00:10

Argh. Really sorry. I tried to post a pic several times but this site wouldn't accept it. A copy and paste job is "20 OCT AT 03:19

Hello I'm single I'm revived and I want to find a strong sexual partner and a hot private chat with me OK"

Trust your instincts. If you don't trust him, there's probably a really good reason, even if you don't know it yet.

I have had two spam messages the same as that on my FB messenger.
The first one said hi I'm naked and waiting for you and the second was similar.
Both from girls I didn't know so I just deleted it.

It was last week when I got them both so possibly just doing the rounds.

SleepingStandingUp · 07/11/2021 01:02

Revived?

What kind of number was it? Have you googled the number?

crappytimes · 07/11/2021 01:13

Yes it said revived! It was on fb messenger with a generic name. No number

It just sounds like spam to me.

Tumtitumtum · 07/11/2021 01:32

I mean he isn’t trustworthy if he’s been on dating sites in the past, but yes that sounds like those shitty spam messages you get from someone who only has a basic grasp of English or a bot

EmeraldShamrock · 07/11/2021 01:34

It's probably spam but as he hasn't been honest in the past he could be accessing chat rooms.
I have had those messages too.

EmeraldShamrock · 07/11/2021 01:36

Btw there's still time to leave him, he might be innocent this time but you can't trust him.
He doesn't deserve you. Flowers

Helpimfalling · 07/11/2021 01:50

These are them bot messages.

Not actual personal ones I don't think but I have heard that you only receive them if your email address has been linked to something dodgy.

RockinHorseShit · 07/11/2021 01:59

The rest of it I agree with trusting your instincts on

As for the message though, I know these do get sent randomly to guys in messages . My gay friend is being bombarded with them, much to his amusement & he enjoys winding them up for a laugh. He gets naked women photos sent too Confused

JacquelineCarlyle · 07/11/2021 08:13

They also sound like spam to me. Sounds like you have valid reasons not to trust him which is a separate issue, but I honestly don't think these messages should form part of that.

The messages are spam. Look at the grammar, no one writes like that. At 3 in the morning. They're from a bot.

However, he's been on something that has prompted the bots to target him.

JacquelineCarlyle · 07/11/2021 08:35

That's not necessarily true @MollysDolly as I've had those in the past (from women & men) & I've not been looking at anything untoward to trigger them. I get them a lot on Instagram too & no idea why.

Buildingthefuture · 07/11/2021 18:38

That’s spam…I had a few weeks where I got messages from a weird Russian Brides site (I’m female?) And I’ve definitely NOT been on any sites like that, and no one else has access to my devices. However, if you don’t trust him, a conversation about that needs to be had…

RockinHorseShit · 08/11/2021 06:46

However, he's been on something that has prompted the bots to target him.

That isn't true, they target people via groups by the looks of it, though I'm not 100% on that, I've certainly been target by other spam bits via groups as other friends in the same groups have had the same sort of spam in the same time frame. Groups have nothing to do with the type of spam either

& my gay friend mentioned in my pp, definitely isn't on any sites that would make him a target for women offering sex & sending him naked photos ... it's totally random
