Signed up for a new name, but very regular poster.

Dh is a running fanatic, goes out most days but every couple of months I do notice these white stains.

Never said anything to him, should I or just keep quiet? Great relationship and no issies

why wouldnt she be doing his washing?? I do the washing in this house and dh does the cooking

JohnCusacksWife · 04/01/2015 16:22

Lol at the "why are you doing his washing comment"!

ShumbTucker · 04/01/2015 16:24

Sweat or antiperspirant marks.

minklundy · 04/01/2015 16:25

I vote snot. Or vaseline.

Is his running gear sweaty and muddy? If it is he is probably running in it.
Most OW/OM are probably nit that into someone rocking up in sweaty running gear for a quickie. So if he was coming back with clean gear he probably isn't running. If its sweaty he is.

Chippednailvarnish · 04/01/2015 16:26

Clearly it's deodorant stains!

Storytown · 04/01/2015 16:27

I can't for the life of me think what they might be, other than salt from sweat, which doesn't look like a stain IMO.

StepfauxWife · 04/01/2015 16:31

I would guess salt from sweat or bogies too.

Just ask him out of curiosity if it's bothering you.

GrinGrinGrin Only on Mumsnet......'Why are you doing his washing? Grin

Blatherskite · 04/01/2015 16:33

Depends where it is on his kit. Does it smell suspicious?

I'm a runner and regularly see men covered in all sorts of grossness - spit, snot, sweat, spilled energy gel.... Could be a million things

nilbyname · 04/01/2015 16:34

My DH goes running every Eve too, and he comes home with white marks And he is all sweaty.

Are you SW?! Grin

nilbyname · 04/01/2015 16:34

"Spilled energy gel"

Talk about a euphemism! Grin

dementedpixie · 04/01/2015 16:36

does he get washed before he goes out? Could be smegma leaking out

simbacatlivesagain · 04/01/2015 16:37

well most white stains take a while to dry and become white? where on his gear are they?

SoDiana · 04/01/2015 16:39

Is it slimey and gloopy or more chalk like? And on what part of his dressed anatomy is it appearing?

ZammoMcGuire · 04/01/2015 16:40

I wouldnt expect someone else to man handle my sweaty gym gear - ew no> I would shove it in myself

Storytown · 04/01/2015 16:41

DH does the laundry here, including my running kit. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

ShumbTucker · 04/01/2015 16:43

DH advises he probably isn't running but getting a kebab and spilling the garlic sauce.

FrogIsATwat · 04/01/2015 16:44
Hmm
londonrach · 04/01/2015 16:47

Lol why you doing his washing. I do the washing here but dh loads and unload the machine if he notices it needs doing. Today for example i was heating up the soup for lunch and turned around to see him opening the washing machine, turned it off and took the jeans (mixture of his and mine) to the airer and hung them up. had to rehang them after lunch but thats another story if you married its a partnership. Anyway back to the stains. What sort of stains?

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/01/2015 16:49

VivaLeBeaver · 04/01/2015 16:49

Lick it. What does it taste of?

WildRunner · 04/01/2015 16:50

Is he running long distance? Sounds like spilt energy gel to me.

Meechimoo · 04/01/2015 16:50

womens should never ever do washing for the menz, fight the patriarchyGrin
