Is He Scared Straight?

“I made a total OPSEC fail today,” one guy explained on r/adultery.

“Was exchanging some sexually explicit texts with a pAP (potential affair partner) and I made the incredibly huge mistake of sending one to the wrong person. The dad of one of my son’s friends, with whom I was just texting earlier that morning.”

“I apologized and said obviously that was not meant for you.”

“Clearly. I hope that was meant for your wife,” was what I got back.

“So, tell me, fellow adulterers, is my world about to blow up?”

Will his friend tell his wife?

Who knows?

Adultery veterans suggested that he cover his bases. “Can you send it to your wife at this point? Even as a joke? That would cover your bases.”

That’s laughable in a dead bedroom.

He responded, “I couldn’t. No. I think it would raise more red flags as it would be very out of character.”

He’s fucked.
So he hit up r/adutlery for crowd-sourced cover stories:

“Send the dirty text to your wife with the reasoning that you heard rumors that your friend was gay.”
“Send the dirty text to your wife, as a joke…then maybe ask, what do you think of this?! If she gets bothered, just apologize for trying to be flirty, and let it ride.”
“Don’t bring it up. Find an AI sex chatbot that allows text messages and tell your wife (if it comes up) that this is what ‘you had to resort to due to the lack of intimacy.’”
“Portray yourself as a horny AI enjoyer, and maybe she’ll be mad, but better than a cheater.”
“Get into a huge fight over the lack of sex and intimacy, and bury this in the back and forth. Tell her that you tried and failed to send that text. ‘The TALK’ is so annoying to most partners that everything else turns to static in their ears.”
“I think I’d act as if nothing happened, and hope for the best. I kinda doubt this would be something the other dad would be in a hurry to share, anyway.”
“Maybe, you could play it off as a joke with another friend that got sent to the wrong person?”

What is the result?

This guy is scared straight.

“If I survive this, I’m walking away from this lifestyle.”

Noob adulterer. Beginner stupidity. Forgive me while I roll my eyes all the way back. This is why I avoided newbies like the plague when cheating.

Use Telegram with the disappearing texts option. Don’t text an affair partner with your REAL ASS PHONE NUMBER. That’s just one mistake out of many. He’s thinking with his small brain, that’s for sure.
