Honey trap her husband

Hi, I’ve been asked to do something from another woman I know, and I feel pretty uncomfortable about it. I wondered if I could get some advice.

Basically ‘said’ woman wants me to start messaging her husband online, flirting etc, and see how he reacts. She said it’s upto me how far I go, but the further the better. This was all over a message so I haven’t even spoken to her face to face about it.
I just find it awkward as I’ve know her husband for years.

She said something along the lines of ‘women need to stick together, and help each other out’. I have no idea about their situation, but if she thinks he may be cheating, or tempted to, then I feel she should just leave him instead of just playing stupid games.

Would anyone else do this? She’s not even a friend really, just someone I’ve got to know a little bit through my job. An acquaintance at best.

Just back away from the crazy, and block her, and him, on everything!

I just don’t understand why she’s asked me. Has he maybe told her he thinks I’m attractive? Or does she think I’m his ‘type’ maybe. I have no idea. I’m not even sure if I want to know tbh.

Or maybe she fancies your partner and is planning to be a convenient shoulder to cry on.

Tell her to find a professional honey trap agency and pay them. Women supporting women and that.
She sounds unhinged, by the way!!

Kashmiri24 · 15/01/2025 18:36

Good grief, I would have shut her down immediately, with a robust 'absolutely NOT' and then blocked her. Who on earth does she think you are? She can hire someone and pay them to honey trap her husband if she wants to. I wouldn't be surprised if the message is from her husband, seeing if you're up for some no strings fun.

winter8090 · 15/01/2025 18:38

Oh god absolutely not.

Husband could show others your messages who are not "in" on the honey trap and your reputation would be in shatters.

Run!!

JustRollWithIt · 15/01/2025 18:40

Don't do it. She must be desperate for an excuse to leave her husband setting him up like this.

coldcallerbaiter · 15/01/2025 18:46

No don’t. Not your monkeys. Plus there are professionals that will do this as a service.

In any case, you might not be his type or live too close to home. He might not bite anyway.

Itsallgonesideways · 15/01/2025 18:46

I'd send the screen shot to her husband and then block her.

Efillufwa · 15/01/2025 18:48

Walk away.
You will ultimately get blamed if things go wrong.
Also if it’s only through a message I would be cautious it’s not a laugh at your expense - like someone has dared her to message you it because they think you would be desperate enough to do it or something. It could be a joke to see if you say yes rather than wanting you to do it IYSWIM. My guess is if you said ‘yes’, you would be the one that was shown up.

jollygoose · 15/01/2025 18:50

Imagine him finding out what you had done. You could find yourself being severely verbally abused or worse.

MsDogLady · 15/01/2025 18:51

@Hayleyxxx, you’d be mad to engage in this train wreck.

outerspacepotato · 15/01/2025 18:52

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

She could be messing with your livelihood here.

That's a no.

DorianMeile · 15/01/2025 18:54

Sounds like she wants to leave him but wants a 'reason'. Unless you want your messages being flaunted around a courtroom in divorce proceedings, I would stay well clear.

andHelenknowsimmiserablenow · 15/01/2025 18:59

Just laugh it off. Say 'hey this isn't Eastenders! no way' smiley face.
Hopefully she'll give up or pester someone else.

Pinkissmart · 15/01/2025 19:02

She asked you because she is desperate.

I couldn’t continue with the friendship. I’d be so insulted that 1) my friend wanted me to do her dirty work for her 2) that she thought I had such little moral fibre that I would consider it 3) that she had zero respect for my marriage.

Personally, I would just say it’s a bonkers idea, and she should seek counselling to come to grips with her floundering marriage.

SunDash · 15/01/2025 19:05

What's the worse that can happen...if you just block her?

Hayleyxxx · 15/01/2025 19:07

I literally didn’t think about any of this. I.e her showing other people the messages, using it to destroy my relationship and business. It’s definitely a hard no from me. I’ll try and think of a good response and message her back in the morning.

GarrynotsoGorilla · 15/01/2025 19:10

@Hayleyxxx Are you sure you should be saying no? There seems to be a lot of peeps suggesting it's a good idea? 😁 Perhaps start by sending him a nip pic and see what he responds with? After all she did say see how far he would go? 😜

For those with limited sense of humour - I am joking....

SallyWD · 15/01/2025 19:12

I wouldn't do this if you paid for me. Awful behaviour.

I'd just reply, "No thanks" and then just ignore anything further to be honest. Why complicate things.

outerspacepotato · 15/01/2025 19:17

😆NO

If she tries again, look her deep in the eyes and ask her how dumb does she think you are.

Don't let yourself be used in unsavory games by people.

Collette78 · 15/01/2025 19:17

No no no, this sounds crackers. 😳

If he is cheating she won’t need to entrap him anyway…. What an odd thing to suggest, stay out of the game playing drama.

IhadaStripeyDeckchair · 15/01/2025 19:21

No

Not only would I not do it but I would also sent the husband all her messages with a note saying I don't know what is going on in your relationship but I don't want to be involved.

Wierd behaviour by the woman in the relationship.

OP, you don't owe her a decent response , just say 'No, not interested '

What did you mean by 'It would be completely different if she'd asked me to flirt with him in person' ? WHY ??

swordpen · 15/01/2025 19:22

Don't do it. Chances are he will fail, men are men at the end of the day.
