"A good friend of mine married a man a few months ago who she met on a dating app. They had been in a relationship for a year prior to that and decided to have a quick wedding abroad. I had only met him very briefly in the early stages of their relationship. I am single myself and have been on the apps for the past few years."
"When I showed her his profile she went into shock and could barely speak. She told me that many of the photos he used in his profile were from holidays they were on together. She then went home to confront him. She said he told her he was only on there to "make friends". I had to screenshot the initial steps of setting up a profile that very clearly asks you which mode you want to use - dating or friendship."
"If he was only there 'to make friends', why has he kept it a secret from her? Also, while some dating apps have a friend function, as you said, he made a choice not to use that option. He went to the effort of verifying his account, so he has clearly given this some thought. As you have shown with his account, he is active on this site and clearly lying to her. And now apparently convincing her that there's nothing wrong with his behaviour."
A married man's verified dating-mode account liked a friend's profile despite him allegedly being on the app only to "make friends." The wife's photos from shared holidays appeared on his profile. When confronted he denied dating intentions, claiming friendship, but the app's setup and verification indicate a deliberate choice to use dating features. Evidence shows recent activity and the ability to like profiles only in dating mode. The wife initially reacted with shock, then began to doubt the evidence and accept his denial. The behaviour appears deceptive and possibly gaslighting, undermining trust in the marriage.
