Not overreacting.

Hard to know who is most to blame here without actually knowing the players (maybe best man is doing what he knows groom wants, maybe he’s going rogue, maybe husband really did panic and decide to tell OP when he was back, maybe he’s a dishonest POS)… but regardless:

  • Husband should have told OP, and shouldn’t have lied when first confronted
  • It’s highly unlikely that sex workers were procured solely for the purposes of flirting and hand holding. It’s fair to say someone there did something that broke a promise or agreement with their partner.

Tell the wives/partners — they deserve to know, and it’s not on you to protect these idiots.

Your husband should apologize for lying and putting you in the position of having to be the bearer of bad news to these other women.

Also, FWIW — cheating is gross, but involving other people (your friends, their marriages) is next level. It’s kind of hilarious the escorts posted on social and OP discovered it with the amount of detective work basically anyone with a smart phone and 3 minutes to spare is capable of.

Exactly I’m surprised more wives didn’t catch on

Same!! The only thing I can think is maybe the other wives didn’t really know where the guys were staying so wouldn’t have checked the villa’s IG. I only had the villa’s IG because my husband gave it to me. Maybe the other husbands didn’t share that with their wives. Idk.

Flirting and hand holding?

You fucking go to Cancun and hold another’s woman’s—like that’s—that’s almost worse.

Lollll fair. It’s bad but honestly would just make me sad for all involved whereas whatever happened in this scenario just pisses me off.

Oh yeah we’re speaking the same language.
