Honey trap her husband

149 replies

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.

They could both be in on it and you're being played.

Or if he found out you tricked him and he had feelings for you then he could turn aggressive or violent towards you.

If she has relationship problems she should sort them out with him or at least hire a professional to follow him etc.

Absolutely no way should you involve yourself with this and the best thing you can do is block her on everything and never speak to her again.

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

Don't judge all men the same some of us have standards, the OP might be a minger 😁

MurdoMunro · 15/01/2025 19:26

The answer is ‘That’s weird. No.’ You don’t need to be ‘trying to think of a good response and reply in the morning’. What’s to think about?

Hohofortherobbers · 15/01/2025 19:30

And what's your partner likely to think of this?
Absolutely nothing good will come of this, hard no

iamcoconutty · 15/01/2025 19:31

Tell her to catfish him herself.

ListenDontJudge · 15/01/2025 19:32

Who writes this stuff ? Is it to keep the boards busy?

lemonchops111 · 15/01/2025 19:34

STEER CLEAR… of this woman she is no friend asking you to do this

HellofromJohnCraven · 15/01/2025 19:51

The messenger always gets shot.

HappyNewFeckingYear · 15/01/2025 19:56

She's asked you because you can't say no. You'll likely start on some long drawn out fib and end up looking daft and getting involved in her silly games. Just say NO.

"That's a hard no from me"
"No"
"No, thanks"
"That's weird, no"

Pick one, use it now.

Something I learned a long time ago is to never do other people's dirty work for them. They come up smelling of roses and you're the one face down in the doo-doo.

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.

This is what private investigators are for Shelia. Good luck!

shes nuts , don’t get drawn into her drama

Mrsgreen100 · 15/01/2025 20:19

She’s obvs desperate, but don’t get involved
it’s a car crash waiting to happen,

Silvers11 · 15/01/2025 20:46

I agree with everyone else. NO Way!! And make sure you tell your husband and show him the message. Just so that he knows. You have no idea what the end game is here, so make sure he is aware.

ByQuaintAzureWasp · 15/01/2025 21:05

Absolutely not. She sounds like she has psychological issues.

Don't tell the husband. Don't get involved in the drama.
Not your problem.

HereBeWormholes · 16/01/2025 07:29

So when all the he-said she-said is over, the only solid evidence would be a record of you coming on to a married man. If you're happy to have that out there...

HereBeWormholes · 16/01/2025 07:30

Theemperorsnewshoes · 15/01/2025 17:40

Have you got a reputation for sleeping with married men?

Because this is the way to get one...

peachystormy · 16/01/2025 07:31

She's bat shit crazy and so are you if you even contemplate doing this

SkyGrant · 16/01/2025 08:01

What a nerve this woman has. Tell her to look on line and get someone else to do this. Then block her. This has been said before but you need to put this in action now if you have not already done so.

Crazy woman.

Stripperyone · 16/01/2025 08:02

I used to be a honey trap. Do they still exist? I assume so. Tell her to hire one!

AllIWannaDoo · 16/01/2025 08:07

This is very odd. Do you have your photos available for Facebook? Most unhinged people would just steal a photo, set up a fake account and honey trap their own husband. No need to even ask anyone.

Just say "No thanks" and block. And lock down pictures on social media if you can (change to faceless for a while).

"Hi friend, sorry to hear you're having doubts about X, I feel like this could cause drama for me I don't really want to get involved with. I also wouldn't want to disrespect my own relationship that way. Good luck with it all"

Then screenshot everything.

You should probably tell your partner

Disturbia81 · 16/01/2025 09:46

Hayleyxxx · 15/01/2025 17:34

Are men even that stupid? Surely they know messages can be shown to people? It would be completely different if she asked me to flirt in person, but then I guess she’d have no proof of what was said / happened.

Well you'd assume that.
But the amount of married men, husbands of friends, married neighbours, friends of husbands who come on to women they know, knowing it could be shown to their partner in a heartbeat. The risk taking is off the charts
