A woman is looking for my friend to give her money. What should I do?

Suspicion · 2014-07-05T05:57:32+00:00

Jesus, what a piece of work. She's okay with helping a man cheat on his wife, keeping his child knowing full well he's still married, and then comes after him for child support in a public post filled to the brim with personal information and insults about him and his wife? No, she made her bed and she can lie in it. It might sound heartless but I have no sympathy for women who have affairs with married men, decide to keep the resulting children against all logic, and wreak havoc on the man's relationship and finances over it. I just can't fathom what makes them think this is a good idea. If I were a woman, I would never make that choice.

Anyway, this woman sounds absolutely crazy. Nothing but drama can come from this, so I personally wouldn't tell him. Or maybe tell him just as a heads-up that some lunatic might come looking for him. I feel bad for the kid, but there are programs that can help mothers in need of aid for ill children and I'm sure someone can point her in the right direction.

Well this will definitely stress him out. There is no way to truly know if the kid is even his until a paternity test is done. Who knows how many wounded warriors she was banging hoping to find one that would leave his wife for her so she could get her hands on his military benefits? If she could find him she wouldn't be trolling craigslist. She made her bed, now she can lie in it.

Don't tell him. You don't know anything about the situation. It is probably not even his kid. Just the only dude that might not be a total shitbag and have money to pay for her kid.

However, save that post for a day if he needs it to prove that she is a psycho bitch. The court will look at that and might even give him the kid over the situation.

Tell him. With that much info, shamelessness and the internet she'll find him eventually. Knowing early makes more things possible... for example the courts would be more likely to give him shared custody if he gets in while the kid is still young, he's more likely to manage the marriage situation well if he knows well before his wife does. For all you know he may be quite willing to leave the horrible woman he's with for this one... doesn't sound like he really likes either of them and one has made him a kid, right? Whatever happens he's up for child support when she finds him.

dont tell him. if she could find him she wouldnt have posted to craislist. he doesnt need that stress, she could have gotten a shmishshorshan and she knew they were fucking without a condom so she was asking for it as much as he was giving it...

I'd tell him. I like to think of myself as a man of integrity and if I didn't help this woman what kind of man am I? Sure the kid might not be sick and she just wants to catch him up for child support, hell the kid may not even be his, but on the off chance the post is legit you'd be stripping a child of a father. So I'd tell him. If he meets the girl and steps up great. If he ignores it altogether that's his problem but not your burden.

How do you troll craigslist?

bsutansalt · 2014-07-05T13:52:49+00:00

Give him advice not to, and when he doesn't listen and gets ripped off, shoot him a link to TRP.

caxica · 2014-07-05T16:04:26+00:00

Tell him. Wouldnt you want to know?

Posagi · 2014-07-05T12:46:49+00:00

You better tell him.

If she doesn't find him and nobody he knows makes the connection, he is just stressed out for a while.

But If she does he better be warned beforehand.
