What’s the chances it’s innocent?

I found out by accident as he texted me the name Fabguys in error

I know the answer really

Not enough info I’m afraid OP - What do you mean he text you the name fabguys in error?

YesThatsATurdOnTheRug · 14/08/2024 17:59

What did he text and what did the email say?

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 18:02

Haven’t seen the email. He says it’s because of websites he was on in the past, but says not this one.

Just that. He text me the name as he was apparently trying to Google it. My hackles went up so I asked and got the above explanation

Sorry OP, he's either sleeping with or looking to sleep with men.
Please get yourself tested for STIs.

Not only is he being unfaithful, he's also putting your health at risk.

Mrsttcno1 · 14/08/2024 18:05

Can’t think of a single reason he’d accidentally google that, it’s not even as if its close to anything.

Also pretty sure FabGuys is an actual dating site rather than like a porn site, so even if it wasn’t FabGuys he was looking for presumably it was a dating site?

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 18:07

The story is he received a random email from them so googled it “to see what it was” 🙈.

The mind boggles. As soon as I saw the name I realised what it was

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 18:08

It is a dating site

Est1990 · 14/08/2024 18:40

I don't understand. He texted you on purpose or accidentally the word Fabguys?

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 18:41

He claims he had thought he’d put that word in his browser but sent it to me instead. It was just that word

You need to explain exactly what happened as it isnt clear.

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 18:43

That's exactly what happened.

The point is that he claimed he had randomly got an email from them and had then googled them.

OP posts:
Babbahabba · 14/08/2024 18:43

Why is he even Googling a

Babbahabba · 14/08/2024 18:44

Should say why was he googling a gay dating website? Doesn't matter if he was texting/searching/emailing whatever- he shouldn't be accessing dating sites, gay or not.

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 18:44

I think it all sounds totally unbelievable but guess I wanted confirmation

I do stuff like that.

H0PI · 14/08/2024 18:47

So he googled it but mistakenly put it in a text instead of google and then also managed to press send instead of search?

Weird. Was he drunk?

Bearpawk · 14/08/2024 18:48

The only acceptable way out of this is for him to show you the 'marketing email' that he received from them. Doesn't actually exist ? If he deleted it In disgust it will still be in his deleted items folder. If he says he clears that out daily; he's bullshitting you.

Even if the email exists and it's innocent I'd be questioning why he's being targeted for that sort of very niche marketing and how they acquired his email address.

Lorelaigilmore88 · 14/08/2024 18:49

Can you ask to see the email he claims he was sent?
If he says hes deleted it, okay, ask to check the trash. If it's totally gone id say he's lying.

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 18:50

No. Not drunk. It was this morning.

He then said he’d been on lots of other hookup sites before we met, which is another story, but denied this one. I think it’s highly unlikely this would pop up randomly after years

we don’t live together

OP posts:
loropianalover · 14/08/2024 18:52

Why can’t he show you the email he supposedly got?

OverthinkingRogue · 14/08/2024 18:53

Umm, im sorry to break it to you, but i think he might have a thing for men.

MounjaroUser · 14/08/2024 18:55

He's a lying liar, OP. So sorry. If I were you I'd be off to the STD clinic for a check up tomorrow.

Letsformanallegiance · 14/08/2024 18:55

The exact same thing happened to me. Same site. He was playing around with men and the only way that site works is via signing up. So sorry.

Changingplace · 14/08/2024 18:57

Nah, all sounds like BS to me, and those kind of ‘random’ emails only go to people who have been knocking around those kind of sites in the first place, none of this makes any logical sense, he’s sadly up to no good here.

Ethylred · 14/08/2024 19:02

He's gay. No further discussion is required.
