DP email from gay hookup

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

That's exactly what happened.

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

Ask to see the email. People do Google random things at times so it's a bit early to call him cheating, gay or bi-curious at this point.

You don't randomly get emails from Fabguys or Fabswingers unless you are already signed up to them, or sites/apps just like them.
They are the hook up types and Fabguys is almost always 'cum & go', glory holes, public toilets, car parks, saunas, all of that.
Far more men than I ever realised are into that stuff.

I've worked in a few places that had a disproportionate amount of gay men, due to the sectors I used to work in. I think I have a pretty good gay-dar by now. It's not unusual for me to see men that I would otherwise assume was gay with a female partner. Some of them could be bi-sexual, but I think some just bury their feelings as they want a straight life.

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 21:12

It’s a sex thing, not a gay or straight thing.
I have not got things wrong

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.

“Please get yourself tested for STIs” is always one of the first messages whenever it is implied a man has slept with another man.

Incakewetrust · 14/08/2024 21:15

@Combattingthemoaners also when a man has been having casual sex with women.

Sauvblanctime · 14/08/2024 21:16

Nahh fab guys is the male site to fab swingers

I signed up to catch my now exh on it (which I did)

you only get emails if you have an account, as soon as you delete account they stop emailing

intherough · 14/08/2024 21:25

OP this is very obvious

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 22:00

Yes

It’s totally standard advice on MN read any ‘cheating (hetro) husband’ thread.

Chilliflakey · 14/08/2024 23:13

Yes

Oh how convenient 🙄🤦‍♀️
You have your answer OP. He's looking to hook up with men.
Well done for ending it and refusing to be gaslit and treated like a mug.

Why is there always an automatic assumption that gay men are riddled with sti's? It's really quite offensive.

Gay men have more STDs than straight men and straight women and gay women, apart from STDs/STIs that don't thrive in anal mucosa

Evidence?

Sevenwondersofthewoo · 15/08/2024 10:17

Most folks when doing risky things like hook ups some do risky sex too hence the partner needs to get checked.

hook ups are already risky regardless if a man or a woman as that means it’s multiple partners.

glad you’ve ended it.

Of course he has! I had one of these, OP. Glad you’ve got rid - it’s the right thing to do. I believed mine (how could I have been so naive!) and married him. Needless to say, I caught him out eventually but by the time I left I was in my forties with a big mortgage and 2 kids.

@CosmicDaisyChain

A simple google search will give you evidence!

Here's a screenshot of the first few websites that come up. It's incredibly well researched and even the most conservative of search will give you the 'evidence' that you are demanding.

DP email from gay hookup

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

But there us no way someone could accidentally send an email instead of do a Google search

Chilliflakey · 15/08/2024 11:32

If people could maybe stop with the STI stuff, not really helping.

I'm not an idiot

Chilliflakey · 15/08/2024 11:34

@BananaLambo oh, that’s horrible. At least I’m old and set up myself. Thank you for sharing. I need to stay strong on this though I’m feeling pretty miserable and very foolish

It is a dating site

It is a hook-up site for gay men
he wouldn’t get unsolicited e-mails from them.
