If you had your ears pierced for the first time as an adult, how long would it take your husband/partner to notice? I’m on day 7 ….

Never , more likely

Third hole? Currently 17 years.

I haven't worn earrings since 2020. If I put some in now he'd notice the same day.
However my hair is curly and shoulder length, I wore hearing aids for 2 weeks without him or DS noticing.

Never

Thebigonesgetaway · 15/06/2026 20:31

Not fast no. Christ I’ve changed major furnishings in the house and he didn’t notice 😂

PotatoBreadForTheWin · 15/06/2026 20:33

Had mine done about 2 years ago and he hasn’t noticed yet

Honeyhonay · 15/06/2026 20:35

It’s a very minor thing and very easily missed. Are you annoyed he hasn’t noticed?

Within a few hours, he pays attention which is why I married him. He loves kissing my neck so that is how he would find out as he would move my hair out of the way.

@Thebigonesgetaway he just snuggles into my neck. He is a very affectionate man in a lovely non sexual way. We have been together 30 years and he is still very smitten with me, and I him.

That's made me slightly queasy

Yeah. It sounds like it's theoretical as well. Like she's imagining him doing this but it has never actually happened.

And why would a man notice a pierced ear when he's trying to stick his tongue in it and get some sexy time?

Simonjt · 15/06/2026 20:41

He’d notice very quickly, I do have mine pierced and he notices if I’m not wearing my usual pair, it does have its downsides as I can’t get away with anything.

blankcanvas3 · 15/06/2026 20:43

Very quickly but he’s extremely detail oriented. It wouldn’t bother me if he didn’t.

Jellybunny98 · 15/06/2026 20:46

My husband would notice straight away because he is just like that with people, he has a real sixth sense for when something has changed about a person’s appearance.

It doesn’t extend to anything outside of people though, I changed our bedroom curtains before Christmas and every single night he closes them and I wait for him to notice, still hasn’t😂

WhatAMarvelousTune · 15/06/2026 20:47

From no earrings to earrings? He’s partially sighted but probably not that long, for a similar reason to PP - neck kisses. I don’t know why some posters find that unlikely.

But I have two holes in each ear and I doubt he’d notice a third.
