Partner messaging woman, shared my pic with her

Found out that partner had been messaging a woman he's met through work a lot (by met I mean messaging & calls, it doesn't seem.like they've met in person).

There's lots of mundane, even day stuff in the texting, alongside flirtation, but in the last couple of days it became increasingly sexual.

He asked whether she'd ever had a threesome (in the context of her saying she'd worked in a certain environment with lots of good looking young women when she was a lot younger), she said no, but he escalated that to talking about a threesome involving me, then sent her a pic of me. He'd told her i was gorgeous, and she said that wasn't really high praise given he says she's gorgeous etc. and she's not. He sent the pic and said "see, do you trust my judgement to call a woman pretty" etc.

She asked him what my opinion of a threesome was, and he answered "haven't got that far yet".

We're together nearly 20 years, 2 kids.

It’s not overstepping a boundary just because people here think it is!!!

It’s only over stepping it if YOU think so, as it’s you who he is with. If you think his been a dick pull him up on it, if you think it’s worth leaving over then pack his crap. If not, then have a conversation about it to clear the air and put boundaries in place.

Personally if it was me I wouldn’t care, but then I don’t love my partner, so…..

This would be a marriage ender for me.

I agree.

If he was just flirting and trying to have sex with this women it would be bad but bringing you into it is vile.

Not only is he completely disrespecting you but he’s also trying to manipulate her into thinking you’re ok with them two having sex.

I can guarantee if she agrees to the threesome he will tell her he needs to meet her alone first.

Imagine if this gets out. He could start being very annoying and she’ll complain about him.
Everyone will think you were fully aware of it and you’ll also be dragged into it.

WonderfulYou · 18/04/2022 12:21

Do you feel like this is cheating or overstepping a boundary?

He’s trying to have sex with this women - of course that’s overstepping a boundary.

Some people think just texting isn’t cheating but when he has sex with her that will definitely be cheating.

You seem quite passive.
Are you in shock or are you concerned that you’ll have to end the relationship and you don’t want to?

Wtf2022 · 18/04/2022 12:22

Not married by the way.

Not that it makes much difference, but everybody keeps saying marriage.

I could maybe stay with him if he’s had an affair but this is disgusting and would over and out for me

Wtf2022 · 18/04/2022 12:24

Shock, and kids, and we've been together since young, and money, and thought we loved each other

If you were having sexual conversations with another man, propositioning him for a threesome and sending him photos of your partner, how do you think your partner would react?
Aquamarine1029 · 18/04/2022 12:26

100% del breaker. Your partner is an absolute scumbag. I'd bet my house this isn't the first time he's done this.

Crikeyalmighty · 18/04/2022 12:30

Absolute dealbreaker— complete sleaze!

whoturnedthesunoff · 18/04/2022 12:35

If you have an open adventurous relationship and this interests you .. then no , it would be fine - fill your boots

If you think you are in a monogamous committed relationship then find your angry and get old cunty mcfuckity chops out of your home

WonderfulYou · 18/04/2022 12:38

This would be a deal breaker for me but if you’re not sure then confront him and ask him to leave whilst you think about things.

Don’t let him treat you like a mug.
He’s trying to have sex with this women and I can bet she’s not the first.

justbegoodforme · 18/04/2022 12:45

His behaviour towards you is disrespectful to say the least. This won't end here or be the last of your issues with this man.

Wtf2022 · 18/04/2022 12:49

Read through previous messages.

He's told her I don't like oral but he does it on me (true), she'd said she wouldn't be giving oral to someone who doesn't also give it, she's praised him for being a man who does it.
He's also raised a sexual technique he uses, that he originally read about in an article, she asked for the name etc and he sent it .... he's actually said, about rhe threesome "she could give you oral, while I do (the technique he mentioned".

He's also said at one point he thinks our relationship will break down sooner or later, but kids etc. are an issue.

Sorry OP but he’s trying to find a replacement for you.

He’s too much of a coward to leave and be single so he’s waiting to find someone new. He’s trying to worm his way in with this women.

The second any women accepts he’ll just cheat on you until they want a relationship and then he’ll leave you.

He’s told this women the relationship is going to break down.
He doesn’t love you anymore.

Time to get the upper hand and leave him before he leaves you.

storminateacupagain · 18/04/2022 12:57

I would now consider it broken down.
He is absolutely repulsive. I am sorry OP but you need to get organised- do you work? what about housing to own your home or rent? whose name is it in?
Look at any bank accounts are they joint? if so get in there
first and protect yourself and your DC's
This OW do you know anything about her at all ?

ProudThrilledHappy · 18/04/2022 13:00

He’s having sexual conversations with a women from work and telling her intimate details of your private sex life and you are asking if he has crossed the line? This would be an absolute trust breaker for me. Grim

stripeyflowers · 18/04/2022 13:04

You will be in shock at this point as he has turned your whole reality upside down. You need to take time assimilate this and then make your decisions. Make sure you keep the evidence otherwise when you confront him he'll deny, minimise and try to wriggle out of it. Flowers

Italianways · 18/04/2022 13:10

In my experience this kind of behaviour is very rarely a one-off. If a man thinks its OK to do this stuff this time, he’ll have done it before and he’ll do it again.

I’d text the OW and tell her you know all about it, and you’re not OK with it.

Then haul DP in and ask him to explain why you shouldn’t kick him out.

Sundancerintherain · 18/04/2022 13:14

Jesus, this is one of the grimmest things I've read on here.
Vile, vile man.

Don't disagree with what anyone's saying but if he wants to leave me for her, why is he suggesting a threesome ... wouldn't that make her think he's not leaving, or not going to leave.

He also seems to have saud hes not leaving til kids (12 and 15).are out of house

NETSRIK · 18/04/2022 13:19

Omg. He'd be out that door so quick. He obviously thinks he's quite the catch. What a creep.

NETSRIK · 18/04/2022 13:23

Do you really believe your last question OP? It's pretty obvious he doesn't have any thought for you in this? First step is for you to see this for exactly what it is. As horrible as that is.

oakleaffy · 18/04/2022 13:24

Just NOPE.
How sordid, he's sniffing around her like dogs do..sniff sniff {mentioning technique to see if she ''Sniffs'' back.

He is clearly fantasising about this woman, and is angling to have sex with her.
If you aren't married, at least an expensive divorce isn't required.

Do you really want a faithless ''Partner?''

whynotwhatknot · 18/04/2022 13:31

How nice of him to tell a stranger he will stay for a bit while the kds are still at home

disgusting pig

BiBabbles · 18/04/2022 13:32

Even if you were in an open or polyamorous relationship, a conversation should be had with you before basically offering you in a threesome. He's treating the both of you as fantasy toys, down to the moves he wants to you use for him (even if not on him, but he wants to watch), not people.

In what sounds like is meant to be a monogamous relationship, especially with bringing when he's leaving into it, I'd say that's far over most people's boundaries and breaking of rules - which is what cheating is - but as others said, only you can decide that.
