condom found in husbands sleeping bag..

[Bubbles007]

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 ?

So those of us who trust our husbands are daft?
Or perhaps we are just not ridiculously paranoid?

I can't understand people who say "Well no-one I know would do that for a joke, therefore it cannot possibly be true and your husband cheated on you". For one thing it shows a spectacular lack of ability to see outside of your own narrow experience, for another it must be hideously depressing to automatically assume the worst in people.

I think it must be "hideously depressing" to be married to one of The Inbetweeners, tbh

or, for those of more mature years, married to one of The Young Ones

Actually thats what you started off saying, then you changed it to don't listen to the rest of these fools that believe such nonsense. There is quite a difference.

ScaryFucker I know what you mean!
The blokes I work with are really nice and sound but when they all get together something weird happens to them.

Often I'm the only female that goes away with them for weekends and it gets seriously waring fart jokes, knob jokes etc yet once we are out with their partners they are all meek and mild. Hilarious!

err, not

Yeah I meant it sarcastically!

I know you did sorry, I missed the off my post

I and others are not saying men can't be utter planks and act like little boys when they all get together. That's a given.

BUT this 'joke' just wouldn't be funny to any of the blokes I know, not because it's offensive or juvenile - in fact precisely the opposite. It's just not amusing. Planting gay porn in each other's sleeping bags, or dead rodents, or a bucket full of water or mud - yes I can believe that of the muppets I know.

But what's funny about a wrapped condom being passed around??????

This isn't about being paranoid or not trusting our dhs, it's about a story smelling like a crock of shit!

And WHY can you not understand that other people may find it funny even though you don't? Thats what I don't get. Have you never had an injoke in a group of friends that seemed ridiculous to outsiders? Have you never thought something hilarious while drunk that was not at all when sober? Or have you never had a friend think a joke is funny that you don't?

Do you not think that it is rather nasty and unhelpful to tell the OP her husband must be shagging around when its actually far more likely that he is telling the truth?

The humour is thinking the fella will get caught and have some explaining to do when he has done nothing wrong!!
Yeah I know it's not funny but if I hadn't have witnessed this 'joke' about a month ago I would have been suspicious too.

Thank God I didnt marry a rugger bugger type ..this kind of humour is a bit sad given its now caused the poor wife to have doubts. They must be insensitive brutes!

PrinceBilly, no I have NEVER laughed with my friends at injokes or indeed outjokes or shakeitallaboutjokes.

I am nasty and unhelpful, you are right.

proudnscary - am sure that you are not nasty but you do seem to have a peculiar tunnel vision on this one, namely you don't find it funny hence it can't possibly be true...

I don't find it funny either but I imagine that some people would

Point taken hmc/uphill

Quite often sailors will lend fellow sailing friends condoms if they have nelgected to bring their own. Sailors don't usually like to see other sailors with dirty equipment as it can often cause embarrassment and can sometimes lead to their own equipment becomming dirty and possibly rusty or corroded.

I have lived to nearly 40 without knowing this. I did not know willies could suffer corrosion.

they can become rusty though, through lack of use

and also because of their exposed position in the middle of these fuckwit's foreheads

christ almighty, if my DH behaved like this I would swear he had had an overnight frontal lobotomy

Every time I have had occasion to question a man about something that looks suspiciously like infidelity, it has always been some kind of blokish 'joke' or a 'set-up' or 'a misunderstanding'. And upon further investigation it has always been just plain old fashioned infidelity.

Do grown men really find it that entertaining to take condoms on trips just so they can hide them in one another's belongings? Really?

How many cheaters have you associated with?

I know my DH wouldn't find this funny. But I can imagine a few of his fuckwit friends might, and so I can imagine him being in this situation without even finding it slightly amusing.

But then my SIL and I once wrote on my DH's head while he was asleep and we were very very drunk. We laughed, a lot. Him, not so much.

PrinceBilly I commend your tireless and blind defence of unfaithful men in the face of fairly damning evidence to the contrary

See now I disagree that it is damning. And I only keep coming back to it as I am avoiding doing any work on my essay!
