Hello wise and lovely mumsnetters, bit of perpective needed about something I saw the other day...
I've been dating someone for a couple of months, and when we first started dating we were using condoms. They were of a pretty cheap looking variety in a purple box, and we hadn't used them for about two months due to me going on the pill. A week ago, when I was around said someone's house, he'd gone out to work and I couldn't find the skirt I'd worn the night before anywhere in his room where I'd taken it off. It's worth pointing out he's a massive neat freak, the only mess in his bedroom being a couple of neatly folded piles of clothing on the floor ready to be put away. I searched high and low for my skirt and whilst looking under the bed saw the box of condoms neatly stored underneath in a very visible position. Thinking that maybe he'd chucked my skirt in one of his drawers whilst tidying, I checked the main few and to my surprise found another, open box of condoms, this time fancy durex ribbed ones which we definitely hadn't used. It struck me as a little suspicious and seemed that he must have bought them after we'd stopped using condoms, otherwise why would we have been using crap ones if he had those instead? I didn't say anything at the time.
Fast forward to Monday night, and when I go to get into bed, out of curiosity I look (as in, flicker my eyes downwards kind of look!) at where I saw the condoms under the bed the previous week. The purple packet of cheap condoms has now been joined by the swanky durex ones, which were definitely NOT there before. When using the bedroom mirror I also see a ladies earring back on the floor under the mirror.
What would you think?

That he's cheating. At first I wouldn't have thought anything about the condoms - different brands are more comfy for different people but the earring - come on 
Op no need for the 'skirt' excuse ....you were mooching 
I would make sure I used condoms if I continued to sleep with him I think. Any from his growing collection.
Earing backs can flick everywhere....
Until they're sucked up the Hoover....
He doesn't sound like a neat freak at all to me though.
Did you find your skirt?
