I need advice

I have been seeing a guy for about 6 months .
He sometimes works away ...which I don't like
I am quite insecure anyway ,which doesn't help things
The other night, he was back from a work trip and had rushed to mine,so didn't have his overnight bag .
Anyway , things had got intimate and he then said ' I am going to see if I have something in my wallet '
My question is ...why would he be carrying them around if he has been seeing me for 6 months ?
When I asked him , I didn't believe his answer that he had been carrying them for us ....I could tell as he couldn't keep a straight face .Also, he said he had put them in there about 3 months ago ...but I've been seeing him for 6 months .
I would like to know what people would do in that situation .The trouble is that I really like him When he is not working away , I see him about 4 times a week and we never argue He has introduced me to his kids and I sometimes spend time with them too. I actually thought he was the right guy for me ....and am due to meet his mum in the next couple of weeks(which he had arranged)Like I say , I spend a lot of time with him and we have been on holiday together and got on really well and apart from all this , I think we are really compatible .I'd like to know what people think
Thanks,Sandra

It's hard to know... But when my dh was single he always had one in his wallet "just in case". After he met me it stayed in there until we actually needed it. Then we used it and he never replaced it... I'd be interested to see if your chap replaces his now you've used it together.

Oh and you should have some at your house too... Contraception isn't just his responsibility... You don't say in your OP but it sounds like you always expect him to bring them??

I don't see it as an issue tbh. He has one there for emergencies which sounds sensible to me!! As above its nit wholly his responsibility so get some at yours and stop being so silly

I don't really understand. If your contraception is condoms, why would he not be making sure he has some on him? Is there something else bothering you? Are you worrying about him working away?

Thanks , I really appreciate those comments /quick reply .Your point about me having some has made me think too ..

I would try and work on your insecurity. It'll suffocate him and make him miserable.

The condom is a total non issue IMO.

Why is he carrying condoms in his wallet regardless? I thought the body what compromised the latex and made them likely to break?

Anyway, that aside, I think only you know if you're happy enough. You should feel secure in a relationship - that's not about proof it's about how you feel. If you're the kind of person who can't feel secure then maybe talk to someone irl about why, but if not then you can either try to build trust (talk to him about what's bothering you) or find someone else.
