AIBU to be suspicious at finding a false eyelash on our bedroom carpet?

Yes we do have teenage daughters, but they have both been away on holiday for a week and as far as i am aware no-one has been in their rooms. Besides they are 13&14 and not allowed to have them or wear them. I wouldnt dream of wearing them.

So AIBU?? Or is there a perfectly reasonable explanation?

I guess there are a whole host of reasonable explanations. It wasn't there this morning when i got dressed. My dh left for work uncharacteristically early and i was working from home today. 20 minutes after he arrived home i went to the bedroom for something and there it was in the middle of the carpet. Its a great big thing, not a subtle one - you dont need sharp eyesight to see it, its massive.

I asked him about it, jokingly, but something about his response made my hackles go up - it was only then i started to feel suspicious. He has been known to be "economical" with the truth when it suits him in the past. On many occasions actually.

It wouldn't worry me, but that is my husband,if I already had my doubts it would worry me.

scarlettsmummy2 · 08/08/2013 18:27

Check his phone?

BaronessTeapot · 08/08/2013 18:27

What was his response?

AnyFucker · 08/08/2013 18:28

Ah, he has form for being untrustworthy ?

No relatives, no cleaner. We do have an AP but called Martin, so not him! And anyway i was working at home all day and he was with the kids - so no time for indulging in a spot of cross dressing! Or prowling around in my bedroom for that matter.

Yes the girls have friends over but they havent for ages. We have laminate floors almost everywhere so not many places for falsies to stay hidden.

Are you the same poster who found a bag of women's clothing in the loft? that was fun!

AnnabelleLee · 08/08/2013 18:30

It could be Martin's, you never know.

ImperialBlether · 08/08/2013 18:37

Well, if he is guilty of something, it could be that he's been with someone this afternoon who got so caught up in passion that her eyelashes came off. They stuck to his clothing which he put on in a hurry, then when he took it off, the eyelashes landed on the floor.

Just call me Poirot Grin

On the other hand... sorry, I can't think of another explanation.

StraightJacket · 08/08/2013 18:38

Could it of been attached to Martins' clothes and fell off? Has he got a partner?

I don't get how it can be down to your DH when as you say, it wasn't there this morning yet it has only beenyou, Martin, and the kids in today. I would connect it to Martin. Had he chased one of the little ones into your room at some point?

AnyFucker - yes

God, woman's clothing in the loft. What ever happened there?

It wasn't there. The dh came home, and it was. And when questioned he acted suspiciously?

StraightJacket · 08/08/2013 18:42

Ah I see, 20 minutes after he arrived home (knew I was missing something! )

Still, could it possibly still be down to Martin? Although that coupled with his weird reaction would ring alarm bells for me too and I would be sitting him down to discuss it again once the kids were in bed and asleep.

(Sorry, coughing and sneezing my head off here and must of skipped a line)

greeneyed · 08/08/2013 18:43

It could have stuck on his shoe from a anywhere, shop, office etc. loads of people wear them now there are probably abandoned falsies all over the place.

bishboschone · 08/08/2013 18:43

What happened with the lady and loft clothing? That was a weird thread !

WhiteandGreen · 08/08/2013 18:47

She decided it probably wasn't her DH's.

SomeDizzyWhore1804 · 08/08/2013 18:47

I vote stuck on shoe. They're lethal for sticking to you it could have come from anywhere.

bishboschone · 08/08/2013 18:48

But where did the bag of clothes come from?

BaronessTeapot · 08/08/2013 18:48

it's got nothing to do with me does sound like an odd response to some false eyelashes.

My DH would probably ask wtf it was. Or run away thinking it was a spider.

ImperialBlether · 08/08/2013 18:51

That OP stuck her head in the sand, bishbosh. She had no answer but preferred to think it was the boyfriend of a babysitter who'd babysat once for them. Because of course that's the sort of thing that happens when you babysit, isn't it?

runningonwillpower · 08/08/2013 18:52

Now, slap my arse and call me gullible but I once found some knickers in my husband's car and I totally believe he knew nothing about them. (I have reason to support my belief.)

So, one false eyelash? To even see it and identify it and then draw any sort of conclusion?

You would have to have cause to be so suspicious.

StraightJacket · 08/08/2013 18:52

Tbf, it has got nothing to do with me would probably be the response I would get from my DP if it wasn't. It is stating a fact if, as far as he is aware (because it could well of come in on his clothing or shoes) it actually hasn't got anything to do with him.

If presented with something I am not guilty of, I would probably say the same or similar.

ImperialBlether · 08/08/2013 18:54

How do you think the knickers got there, runningonwillpower?

BaronessTeapot · 08/08/2013 19:03

I suppose it depends on what the OP said to him.

If it was (joking) "I found one of your false eyelashes on the floor" and he said "nothing to do with me". That's understandable.

If it was "Look what I found on the floor" I would find it odd if his reaction was "nothing to do with me".
