dh goes out running very early or late and has come back with suspect white stains on gear wwyd

[haveatarday]

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

Zammo what on earth is wrong with doing his washing? What a strange comment

Ask him.

DW loads the washing machine and empties it. I hang the stuff up and iron what needs ironing because she has problems with her right shoulder.

Which of us is oppressing the other?

OP Ask him, not us.

Yea ok so he's got jizz on his shoulders

Yuck. You have to ask him?

Oh good grief

Where are the stains located? Your OP is deliberately vague... not sure what you're trying to suggest?

It could well be sweat as others have noted or (a bit gross but I"m a runner and I do this on long runs) it could be dried mucus. Running makes your nose run - not so much snot as a clear mucus which does indeed dry to a whitish colour. If he's like me and simply can't carry enough tissues when running, he may be using his running vest as a last resort.

suspect white stains!

Wwid? Ask him about them.

"Darling! The shoulders of your running gear looks all spunky! What's occurring?"

Salt stains probably, DH and I run loads and get them.

Oh and if you think the stains are ahem... another kind of bodily fluid, I'd think there would be a distinct scent to that, it won't have evaporated in the time it took him to get home...

Snot over the sholder - looks like a wank stain.

Just dont run behind someone who is too vigorous on the exhale.

over the shoulders, the collar and down the back

Oh, yes that will be come from gay sex in the woods. - Not!

But you need to sniff it to be sure. You'll be able to tell if it's semen, snot, sweat or juice he's poured over himself to know for sure.

But I'm not sure why you haven't asked him...do you really think he's going to say "Oh, yes, that got on there when I was passing a couple dogging not far away, and I decided to join in"

Not likely!

I thought you were going to say the stains were on his crotch, which I could maybe kiiiiiind of see why you'd find them suspect, but unless he's shown a predilection to getting his shoulder jizzed on I think you're alright.

Op, you say your relationship is a happy one, do you trust him? Bi or not,I wouldn't think anything of the stains you describe, if it's bothering you enough, ask him.

Maybe he wipes himself down with it after the run? Bit of an odd place for deodorant so I'd say sweat.

Any other odd behaviour to make you worried?

If he was up to something though, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be keen on you doing his washing!

Has he been rolling in white dog poo?

I run - when I go for a v long run or its been really hot, when my kit has dried a little, the salt/sweat leave a white mark. Evenget it on my face at times...and I tell you now when I have run for 13miles, anything you are suggesting is very much at the back of my mind!!

I think OP is worried her DH is receiving bumsex in doggy position and the other guy is pulling out and spunking on his back and shoulders.

It would smell if it was OP, smell it. But it's most likely sweat.

He's not an amphibian is he? They fertilise externally, so far as I'm aware.

just ask him already

There are some cruel posters on here. Another vote for salty sweat streaks, which can appear anywhere, not just armpits.

Yy ask him.

I'd worry more about the trust issues between you than the stains tbh.

of course he may have taken his top off and left it on a bench, did his running, went back to fetch it then realised a family of snails had wriggled their tiny little arses across it, leaving their trademark silvery slime

Over his back and shoulders is definitely sweat! The salt leaves a tide mark as it dries.

Are you honestly worried that it could be anything else?
