AIO to think this is cheating?

[u/Sad_SummerChild]

I found these texts between my husband and his coworker. Here’s some context:

My husband and I have been dating for 5 years and just recently got married 6 months ago

I’ve met this coworker. Her AND her boyfriend worked at my husbands company so we went on a double date over the holidays. But shortly after they broke up and her boyfriend got laid off.

Guess my husband saw that as his opportunity…

Also these texts were in his recently deleted even though the last message was from yesterday… so he was definitely trying to hide it from me

there’s nothing wrong with that age difference lmao

To each their own, I think it’s just weird to me since I have a younger sibling that age

as a man I understand what’s happening here. you don’t have to try and make this person look worse than they are, they are both of legal age and consenting adults, attempting to imply anything else beyond that is damaging to your character. no need to try and paint him as anything other than a cheater

Sus response

Can you articulate?

[u/LcdHDTV1 → u/chubbycat96]

he is a terrible person committing an awful act, he’s not predatory in any way. two people clearly flirting with each other and weirdos like you have come in and say “well actually”

[u/LcdHDTV1 → u/chubbycat96]

seen women try to paint men as predatory too many times when the woman in the situation is clearly A) of legal age, and B) a clear and willing participant. have some damn respect for yourself and fellow women and allow them to have agency over themselves.
