condom found in husbands sleeping bag..

Husband returns home from three day sailing trip, I find a condom in his sleeping bag whilst hanging it on the washing line after I have cleaned it. I asked how it got there and apparently it was an ongoing joke amongst the other married men on the boat. They kept moving condoms around. Am i being unreasonble by being uncomfortable with this ?

Wrapped?

Sukie1971 · 14/10/2010 22:27

if wrapped, yes a joke. If not, then cause for suspicion.

Bubbles007 · 14/10/2010 22:28

yes wrapped.

I don't know what to say....
I can believe the joke though.
ha ha de ha Hmm

Hmm. TBH it sounds like something men might do. Was he definitely on a trip with other men - I mean, do you know the other men that went with him? I would probably give him the benefit of the doubt but YANBU to be a bit Hmm and Angry about it.

Even if not wrapped, he'd have to be v slender to be up to no good in a single sleeping bag.

Just blokes being bloke-y I think.

ScaryFucker · 14/10/2010 22:31

sounds like something that teenagers would do

is your husband a cast member of The Inbetweeners ??

Bubbles007 · 14/10/2010 22:31

I get the joke, but what are condoms doing on the trip ? That's the un settling part ...

Unless you have any other reasons to be suspicious about your DH and you do trust him then i would accept this as men do stupid stuff like this all the time. It is only naturl to feel a reaction to this but if you have never had any real reason to doubt your DH previously then put it behind you and forget about it.

Doesn't sound very funny to me but I'm not a man.

Bubbles007 · 14/10/2010 22:33

Phew, they are stoopid silly boys at heart !!!

No reason why condoms wouldn't be on the trip - they could be kept in a wash bag as a matter of course by one of the other sailors. I'm with mylittlemonkey - if no other reason to worry, let it go.

PaisleyPumpkin · 14/10/2010 22:35

I wouldn't worry aboout the condom being on the trip either. Couldn't one of them have just had some in a toiletries bag/pocket or something. Married men use condoms.

Bubbles007 · 14/10/2010 22:36

:) gone, thank you x

If it was wrapped then it was probably one of those immature things that men seem to think is funny.

HuckingFell · 14/10/2010 23:47

joke about being tempted to walk on the gay side, now they are sailors maybe?

samlouboo · 14/10/2010 23:47

yep,that definately sounds like one of those stupid things that men do for giggles,i will never understand them xxx

Hedgeblunder · 14/10/2010 23:50

You could shit the others up by tellig them you're going to tell their wives that they hide their condoms in your dh's stuff so the wives don't find them Grin

AuntiePickleBottom · 14/10/2010 23:52

don't you trust your husband

ccpccp · 15/10/2010 09:06

Oh come on. Give your DH some credit. If he were going to play around, do you think he wouldnt dispose of the condom properly?

Its a joke.

Bloke opinion -there is always one guy in the group who will start this sort of thing of. It's a joke.
Didn't know sleeping bags needed washing!

thebrownstuff · 15/10/2010 09:28

sounds like an imat-your joke. sometimes I despair.

AlpinePony · 15/10/2010 09:35

I think it's just a silly joke - my dad's colleagues once put a pair of knickers under the passenger seat of his car at his leaving do. Hmm If you ever met my dad you'd see why this was the most ridiculous thing on the planet. (Sorry dad Wink).

I'm also wondering about the "logistics" of a shag in a sleeping bag with two people... a posh wank yes, but a shag? HmmGrin
