Socrates: "Well, I'm just glad she didn't cheat in me with some stranger."
Dude: "Plato also slept with your underaged twink boy-toy."
S: "THAT FUCKER!!"

She was likely much younger than Socrates, perhaps by as much as 40 years
Plato's portrayal of Xanthippe in the Phaedo suggests that she was a devoted wife and mother; this is the sole mention of her in Plato's works.
Verdict: probably wasn't banging her.
Idk, Plato himself was probably 40-something years younger than Socrates so he would be similar age or slightly younger than Xanthippe, and i bet he wouldn't brag in his works about banging his teacher's wife.
I mean i agree he probably wasn't doing it, but there no proof for either.
thanks for using Leebra!

"Hey Socrates, do you want to hear what one of your students just told me?"
"Wait a second, let's use my triple filter: first, is that what you heard true?"
"Well, it's more of a rumour"
"Second: is that something good?"
"Definitely not"
"Third: is that useful?"
"Not necessarily"
"So, if it's not true, good and useful then why even mention it?" Socrates goes away
Al this explains why Socrates was respected as a great philosopher. And why he never knew Plato was fucking his wife.
