Would you date a man whose wife had divorced him because of adultery with prostitutes?

No. Why do you ask?

Hetyanni · 26/11/2021 14:31

It's a no from me.

LawnFever · 26/11/2021 14:32

iklboo · 26/11/2021 14:32

holrosea · 26/11/2021 14:32

It's a no from me.

Cupidity · 26/11/2021 14:32

Nope.

HollowTalk · 26/11/2021 14:33

Of course not!

NynaeveSedai · 26/11/2021 14:34

Ew no

Catcrazy83 · 26/11/2021 14:34

No Hmm

MollysDolly · 26/11/2021 14:35

No. But how would you know unless he publicised the reason.

CuntAmongstThePigeons · 26/11/2021 14:38

Obviously not. Gross

vodkaredbullgirl · 26/11/2021 14:38
Hmm

No. But how would you know unless he publicised the reason.
Good point. But unless it was a ONS I think the question about why you got divorced will come up. If you're looking for a relationship it would be foolish to lie as the truth will out.

Not in a million years.

DowntonCrabby · 26/11/2021 14:44

Nope.
I wouldn’t date a man who had any history with prostitutes, regardless of whether he was single or cheating on his wife.

Cas112 · 26/11/2021 14:45

urm nope

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 26/11/2021 14:46

No and for 2 reasons (off the top of my head anyways).

  1. He made a commitment to his wife. He supposedly loved her. He cheated. He purposefully went out of his way to hurt someone he was supposed to love. That is proof that they are untrustworthy and callous.

  2. He paid a prostitute to cheat. Now I could almost forgive someone who found themselves falling for someone else while in a marriage. Almost. I can see how it can happen and how when feelings grow it can be hard to pull yourself away from the situation. Like I say. Almost. However the fact he wanted to cheat so went and found someone he could pay to sleep with. He wasn't caught up in an emotional entanglement. He wasn't swept away with passion. He literally thought "Oh, I want to have sex with someone who isn't my wife. I know, I'll buy someone to do that with". It was a calculated decision. An active choice.

MollysDolly · 26/11/2021 14:46

Unless you have direct access to the ex wife, who then desperately wants to let everyone know her husband was seeing prostitutes behind her back, I doubt it will come to light.

My first husband, marriage failed essentially because we were too young and wouldn't be told. However, no one has ever checked this when I've told them. It could have been for all sorts of reasons, no one has ever questioned, why would they?

Staryflight445 · 26/11/2021 14:47

Nopee

5128gap · 26/11/2021 14:50

No. But in reality a lot might. Because what would happen is, he would be dating the new woman and someone (the ex wife?) would tell her. She would then ask him about it, and he would deny it and say his ex wife was crazy. And if the new woman liked him she would probably believe him not the person revealing his past (ex wife). In time, she may discover she was wrong.

MrsTerryPratchett · 26/11/2021 14:51

I believe prostitution lacks proper consent. Which means he enjoys sex with someone he knows isn't enjoying it and wouldn't be doing it if she wasn't paid. As far as I'm concerned that makes him a rapist.

Many sex workers are trafficked, addicted and suffer(ed) abuse. I know because I've known many many sex workers. Men don't ask. Ever. They are happy with the risk that they are contributing to the systematic rape of a trafficked woman.

Personally I wouldn't knowingly speak to a punter never mind date one.

Goawayangryman · 26/11/2021 14:52

Of course not!

Good point. But unless it was a ONS I think the question about why you got divorced will come up. If you're looking for a relationship it would be foolish to lie as the truth will out.

But that means you're relying on a lying cheating scumbag who slept with prostitutes behind his wife's to live by the motto "it would be foolish to lie as the truth will out"

peachescariad · 26/11/2021 14:57

Nope....he's an abuser and a cheat.

ICanSeeARainbow123 · 26/11/2021 14:58
