At a risk of getting called a troll more I’m taking my photo of my profile. These of you that are kind and mature don’t need it to believe me and others don’t have to have it

Can I just retract this.
Let me just channel some feminine qualities:

Phfft. Typical man. Pulling out early. Where's my money?
Well you could. But is there a better way to see he isn’t wearing my clothes?
Could what? Clothes? That's quite the mental leap you made somewhere. Want to fill the steps in at all?

I see the profile pic has been taken down. Are we expecting a new one with a pack of custard?

Regardless of what is going on here, it is a lose lose situation for the OP.

Either 1) the OP is a troll, and has been found out, so his game is up.

Or 2) Monkeylegend and Rewe are going to spitroast his wife.

Or 3) I have lost the person that I love through stupidity and I’m going to regret it for the rest of my life.

Not strictly true. If the wife had been invited/wanted to join in, it could have been a fun shared recreational pastime. He just chose the wrong woman if he wanted recreational sex as his hobby.

I've never been enough of a to my wife to be in that situation. But if I did, I'm sure amid the stress, heartbreak and hate she was feeling, she too would sign up to a random car forum that I was on to chat with some strangers about it. She'd definitely take the time to upload a profile picture as well, that would be a priority. All very normal.

It's either utter ste, or it's true and you are a pair of complete loonies.

Sorry, some people were suggesting that I was my husband in drag. That was my mental leap. I was trying to joke.

I think they are both just emotional and trying to understand what’s happening.

I don’t think it’s a troll, the guy has done wrong, panicked and asked questions here as he has no clarity. He needs professional help as he has an addiction. Fix himself not beg his wife to let him come home, go and sort yourself out and be stronger.

As for his poor wife, I think she has come here to understand how he thinks and although some things are lost in translation to her native polish she is seeing some helpful information and some unhelpful comments. Just let her be. She is the victim in all this.

Hasn’t she been thorough enough?

Women are not attracted to losers.

Tell her you will continue to see the hookers and she either accepts it, or can join in. Or is dumped.

Be all macho, she will love it.

What could go wrong, the only way is up for you in the gutter wink

Indeed. Although it appears strange, to accuse a would-be couple of such things as being trolls, if they really are going through a divorce and trying to make sense of it, is just cruel, especially as it's probable that there is a painful divorce happening, or this thread wouldn't have been started by the OP.
Give them the benefit of the doubt and if people don't have something nice to say, then don't bother saying anything at all. Have some compassion and don't kick people when they're down.

yes

Schadenfreude. I also worry a bit for anyone who is routinely drawn to this sort of thread to gloat.

Btw, I make a working assumption there is a real person at the end of each compassionless post, despite them rarely do they offering to prove who they are! I'm I naive?

I rarely challenge posters, and I am not generally a cynic. Plus, having gone through marital breakdown and divorce myself over the past couple of years, I feel some empathy for anyone going through it.

However, anyone that pitches a google-worthy title that someone looking for support might seek out, and then parodies to the extent that we have seen here, sets my senses tingling. I suspect that the OP and his 'wife' of course, let's not forget 'her', is having a jolly old giggle at the fuss he's caused and it seems both unnecessary and cruel to me.

If I've mis-judged them I'll be the first to apologise and wish them well, but this thread still screams scam to me.

Indeed, isn’t it strange how they both go through phases of contributing to the forum around about the same time, at the same time?.. Then both stop for similar periods of time?

Hey Petrolism,
Thank you for your kindness and helpful comments. I’m off of this chat as it’s getting vulgar. I wanted to send you an email but it’s blocked so risking both you and I being ridiculed I’d like to thank you. I’ve got my answers and realised a few things.

I wish you all the best in the future and in a strange way I will miss your male support. There were a few of you that gave me strength and courage. I’m grateful.
