Mum stunned after getting message from mystery woman who claims to have slept with her husband

A mum has told of her shock after a mysterious woman messaged her on Facebook, claiming to have slept with her husband four times.

The woman, who had her profile  “locked down”, even had specific dates she claimed they had met up on. She even had the names of the couple’s kids  - which understandably left the mum spooked. Even though she doesn’t “think it’s mistaken identity”, the mum admits that things just don’t add up. She wrote on Mumsnet:

"I received a FB message a couple of days ago from someone who is claiming to have slept with my [husband]. "I'm pretty sure it's nonsense but I guess it’s niggling at me a little bit - she knows my name, named [husband] and our children, so I don't think it's mistaken identity. "She's given me 4 dates when they're supposed to have been together.”

The only thing is, she says that three of the dates are “impossible”. On one of them, the family was abroad - and on another, they were at a family wedding. The third one, the mum’s brother was staying with them and she didn’t see her husband slip out of the house. She added:

“The 4th date we were at home, I can’t remember what, if anything we were doing but I don’t remember anything out of the ordinary. “I don’t know her, I’ve looked her up on Facebook but her profile is locked down - I don’t recognise her from her profile pic and we don’t seem to have any mutual friends.”

The mum explained that she and her husband work together, and “he’s not secretive with his phone or anything like that”. She continued:

“I don’t doubt him, I think, but at the same time, isn’t it a bit weird to send someone a message like that if it’s not true? “I do trust him and the rational part of my brain says it’s not true, it can’t be - it’s mistaken identity or someone being weird, but at the same time the message is sitting in my inbox and every time I see it I do wonder.”

Her post got more than a hundred replies from her fellow Mumsnet users, but nobody could actually agree on what was going on. Some people said that they would be suspicious if they had received a message like that. One person said:

“Nothing is impossible. [There’s a] famous story of a man who took his mistress on holiday and installed her in the same hotel as his wife.”

Another wrote:

“Sorry but why would she make it up, I certainly would not dismiss it I’d have to contact her for hard evidence, it’s easy to delete messages and cover tracks and every woman says their man is faithful, sorry but not always true.”

Others thought that the mum should trust her husband - especially since he had given her no reason not to, and the woman could have gotten their names from social media. Someone pointed out:

“She could of worked out the names etc from your Facebook or be some crazy person you know or he does through work.”

Another simply added that it “sounds like a hoax”.
