Fabswingers help? Found my partner on fab swingers

So this will be long. Me f(36) and my partner m(37) have been on and off for 17 years. We share 2 children. It's never been a fairytale, lots of history but we always end up coming back to each other.
This year was a fresh start. Or it was supposed to be. I found teleguard app on his phone which was weird. I went on it and there was a "gangbang" chat. It knocked me sick instantly. There was 100s of messages on there, pictures of a woman by her husband and videos of previous gangbangs (I'm not judging if that's how you want to live that's fine by me) there was messages saying when he gets enough people he will plan the date. My partner had put "great, sounds good" the guy asked him if he had ever done anything like this and he said "just once but only with the woman, the husband watched"
Obviously, I'm thinking what the hell. There was 16 men in this chat. The next day I checked again, more pictures, my partner had wrote "amazing a* and p*"
I noticed the main guy had wrote something about fab, so I got my fbi hat on.
That evening I asked him about it, he said "oh honesty all men have atuff like that, look I have 100s on fb, I just got added from one of the groups" I'm not massively bothered about silly fb groups with bits of porn in, I know men watch atuff like that. But he was making out like it was no big deal. I told him I thought he had a problem, he fell out with me and didn't speak for days and told me I had made him feel disgusting.

Going back to fabswingers, I searched for hours, as the pictures were blurred,I then realised I could verify myself and see the pictures, I did this, then searched the users I thought could be him, bang he came up straight away, I can't even tell you the feeling of hurt that rushed through me as I saw the man I adore and love stood there stark naked for the world to see. His profile said he was always horny, up for anything. Under "looking for" it said couples MM/ FM males females and tv/Ts basically every option that was on there. Same again for interests, everything under the sun from soft swing to DP (which I had to google) I was horrified. I then saw a review from a few months ago. It was from a couple who wrote "you won't be disappointed" bla Bla. I clicked on them and they had a review from him saying "super sexy, easy conversation"
I can't even tell you how heart broken I was about this. I spent a full week in my room, Ill, unable to eat, I became physically ill. It was horrible.

I then messaged him on fab , became a whole new person in the way I wrote and what I wanted ect. We spoke all day. We arranged to meet. I decided I would wait to confront him after the planned meet.
Then he disappeared off there, he hasn't come off but he hid his profile. Didn't go on for 4 days (I checked constantly) obviously no response from him about this meet... which I knew he couldn't do anyway. In the meantime I contacted the couple and said I was new and had arranged to meet this guy and they had reviewed him so I was just checking he was safe ect. They kindly replied and was very vague but did say that she knows he like toys and they spoke about anal. I couldn't get much more info out of them so I'm not sure if they did the deed or if they met and chatted.

So d day came and I confronted him. He has outright denied it (may I add 2 minutes after I confronted him, by text, he was online on fabswingers after not being on for 4 days) he says it is not him, he's never met anyone he's contacted fab to get his photos removed, he said I have always been honest and you know in the past I've been on sex sites (he's mentioned this in the past but I thought it was just porn, never once mentioned his bits were plastered all over there) he said someone else must be using his photos from then, he swore on our children's lives it is not true (this is something he will never ever do so it threw me) I was adamant it was him, and this little detail has rocked me. He's moved out, sworn it's not him. My head and heart is shattered. I don't even know what I'm on here to ask but please someone give me some help and advise.

Thank you so much for your time in responding. I think I just feel like my world is ending right now. I’m the best person for giving advise and if someone was telling me this I’d be like “leave now” I just don’t seem to be able to give myself the same advise, I look back at this relationship and he really has ruined my life, he’s never been physical but the mental and emotional abuse has been horrific. I think I’ve just gotten used to and think it’s ok when I know it absolutely is not. Every day is a fight with myself. It’s the next few months that I just can’t face, I don’t even know how I’m going to get up and go to work tomorrow. I also know how he is manipulative and how he gaslights me which is why I spent a week in fbi mode so that I knew o had everything but he still lied. I think I wanted him to be honest, that hurts that even when faces with this he can’t be truthful. I feel split it 2 at the moment.

Exposing you to countless STDs, which is a possibility, is physical abuse. Right now, you are letting your fear of being lonely/alone supersede common sense, as well as your self-respect and dignity.

I guarantee you that if you march forward, never, ever giving him license to come back into your life this way again, and focus on your children and finding your life's purpose through vocation, hobbies, interests, etc., you will overcome your fear of being alone.

This man is simply unworthy of you. You have loved him, forgiven him and given him countless chances to change. He has not, and while it may hurt to hear that he does not love you, do NOT take this to heart as a sign of your value. This man is simply NOT capable of loving anyone, and by the way he has treated you, as the mother of his children, and how he is modeling this mistreatment for his sons and daughters, I question whether he really even loves his own children.

He is a deeply flawed man. He is selfish. He cannot be trusted. He lacks empathy. He lies. He possesses most of the qualities of a serial k!iller, except the one act of killing.

As a member of fab I can pretty much guarantee it was him. Couples don't meet (well rarely some do) without swapping face pics and the fact the verified him confirms they met him, whether that was for a drink and a chat or actual sex, they definitely met him. To swear on your kids lives is a sick doubling down on his lies.

SparklyGlitterballs · 13/07/2025 20:07

You say you confronted him on DDay OP. Had he made an excuse about going out that day, or was he getting ready to go out?

Did the naked body on Fab look like his? Even with the face blurred out, I'd recognise if a body was my DH or not.

Regardless of whether he's met anyone from Fab, he's wrong saying 'every man has stuff like that". Decent men who respect their partners do not chat in this way with others. I hope you can stay strong and keep him gone this time.

He’s gaslighting you and mentally abusing you for years. Of course it’s him. And he’s the most sex addicted of the fab guys. Up for anyone. Just be glad you found out his real self now and not one minute longer. Get to a solicitor and to women’s aid. You’re a victim of domestic abuse. Be strong. Be proud. Be glad you finally know the truth.

Find your anger OP. Don’t let that lying cheating piece of shit back into your life

scarletsometimes · 23/10/2025 13:28

I used fabswingers a lot.. and found most of the guys on there are married and looking .. without the wives permission. I am now on swingers nation and i am sure a high ratio of the guys are also married and looking

Mumofone154 · 25/10/2025 11:40

im familiar with the site and of course it was him. Verifications are from genuine people and he had obviously been with this couple for them to review him.
unfortunately the site is full oh cheats , and

This is very real. And I am living in this hell right now. Thank you for your reply. I know it all, I think I just needed to speak to someone because I can’t speak about this to anyone else and I feel incredibly lonely right now. I also feel that I’ve given up half of my life to just get this 😢

Hi hun im going through the same sort of thing with my partner on fab swingers! So i know this pain your feeling please feel free to pm me if you need to chat especially if your like me and have absolutely nobody to talk to avout this xx

I am so sorry you are going through this, I myself am in a similar situation so wanted to reach out

When I was 8 months pregnant I found my bf had a single male account on fab swingers, with reviews from couples/ men/ TV with recent dates.

He obviously denied everything....even with all the proof.
We stayed together, mainly because it was COVID and we had a baby together so I felt stuck.

6 years on.... He's still on Fab messaging people to meet up with.

Now I'm in a better place, I'm leaving although now it's harder breaking my son's family up now he's older and aware of what's happening but doesn't understand why.

Just a thought, but how do we know what’s real anymore? So much AI generated shit everywhere. No such thing as the truth. It’s very worrying

Did AI create the gangbang chat on his phone?

Ladybyrd · 05/05/2026 01:55

He swore on their lives because he was backed into a corner and wanted to get out of it. He went from everyone does it to it’s a conspiracy? Yeah. It was him.
