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.

OP posts:

"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

I don't even think it deserves justification.

Just say no.

Tell her to stop watching Eastenders.

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

For clarification: I was suggesting the OP told her OWN husband/partner. Not that she tells the 'friend's' husband.

No way of knowing whether the 'friend' is trying to break up OP's marriage rather than her own, in a convoluted crazy scheme. I personally would tell mine, if it had happened to me!

Pumpkinpie1 · 16/01/2025 11:15

I would show her messages to your husband before you do anything.
She is crazy and you don’t want her contaminating your relationship with this madness .
How would you react if your H told you someone had asked him to do this ?

maclen · 16/01/2025 14:24

Do it and then keep us updated!! Haha! 😛

Flatbellyfella · 16/01/2025 14:52

Steer well clear of this so called Honey Trap.

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.

Very wise

SheridansPortSalut · 16/01/2025 15:00

No.
Just, no.

ohpoowhatnow · 16/01/2025 15:18

Someone asked me to do this and I blocked her and never spoke to her again. Far too much drama for my liking.

OrlandointheWilderness · 16/01/2025 17:07

Good Lord definitely a big no!

winter8090 · 19/01/2025 00:07

@Silvers11 sorry misread. Agree that OP should tell her own husband.

blackandwhitefur · 19/01/2025 00:18

Absolutely not and you would risk your relationship with your DH too. There is no issue of thinking of a 'good response' Don't waste your time wondering what to say. It's a "No, I'm married, I can't do that - end of"

Widower2014 · 20/01/2025 06:50

Stay out of it unless you are prepared to take the blame if it all goes wrong

Minerva76 · 20/01/2025 07:23

This Hayley's message sounds to me as it was written by a man.

MyHardySwan · 20/01/2025 07:40

Don't get dragged into this drama, it will just end badly. She seems a bit unhinged to even ask that! Just say no and also did she not think about your relationship my partner wouldn't be happy with me tempting another man fake or not.

AyrnotAir · 20/01/2025 07:44

No way 😂 first of all I don't have time for that nonsense and secondly I wouldn't be getting involved with this when you're happily married . Just message her and say "Having thought of what you asked, I won't be getting involved. I don't have enough spare time to do this, I'm in a happy relationship and it feels morally wrong and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Good luck with everything"

JollyZebra · 20/01/2025 07:46

This is her drama. Stay out of it.

Wilfrida1 · 20/01/2025 08:05

I can't believe you are even asking this. How could it be anything other than a hard no?

Rewis · 20/01/2025 08:20

This will 100% end up with you being the bad guy. If he doesn't bite then they will tell everyone that you're after her man. If he does bite then you're a homewrecker. No matter what your mutual will hear about you flirting with his man and take a step away.

Griff1963 · 20/01/2025 08:22

DO NOT DO IT!!

battairzeedurgzome · 20/01/2025 08:35

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.

'No, I'm not doing that' should cover it.

Mummyto7lovelife · 20/01/2025 08:37

Why would you get involved? Just no absolutely not you could be at risk of losing your job it's unprofessional never mind unpredictable the outcome.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 20/01/2025 08:49

Good grief. Why would you think anything other than 'absolutely not'?

Why would you put your own reputation, relationship, friendships, family happiness, and business in any kind of jeopardy, all because someone's bloke can't keep his dick in his pants?

What planet are you on to even consider any of this? Stop being such a pushover and tell her that if she doesn't trust her partner she should confront him herself or just LTB.
