Husbands secret stash

I don't know if I should laugh, scream or roll my eyes....

Few months ago I found a huge stash of socks under mine and DHs bed, thought I'd finally solved the weird odd sock problem I seem to have. A month later and it was back but this time I noticed the socks were crisp and solid at the end, didn't take me long to figure out Dh has obviously been using these.......you get the picture anyway I mentioned to him that I'd found them and I wasn't happy to be cleaning up after him in general but that this was taking it to another level and thought that would be the last of it.Hmm

It's not-there is always some there and I've had to scream at him about it recently, I'm not comfortable with ignoring it because they are under the bed we both sleep on and it's just really unsanitary, today I've come home and there is a used condom in its wrapper and 3 socks nearby.

I'm aware it's perfectly healthy and normal to masterbate, but surely cleaning up after yourself is part and parcel of this? I feel like this is a problem moms with teenagers have to deal with not their husbands, but maybe I'm just being unreasonable and I should just bin/ put in wash and move on with the next gazillion household chores I seem to be lumbered with? I have fury right now but maybe it's misplaced.Angry

I really wanted to title this secret spunky sock stash but I chickened out!

Would imagine nearly all men wank, not sure about the socks though Grin

horseygeorgie1 · 22/07/2016 00:16

Bloody hilarious! Back in the sock drawer they go I think...!

ForkingFoodie · 22/07/2016 00:30

Oh my days, this has made me proper chortle - I read a few bits out to my DP and I'm pretty sure he did a bit of sick in his mouth then choked on it, which made me laugh even harder (I know, I know, I should have been more sympathetic and offered him a sock or something!).

Happy to declare I've never found anything so, er, unsavoury hidden anywhere with my lovely DP, although my ex... crusty towel under the bed, some suspicious drip-marks here and there, and washed the curtains when he left just to be on the safe side... bleurgh! Shock

This thread has made me wonder that lots of women are posting here about their partners: why do all these men are doing it to a sock when they have women around them? Blush
Sorry if that's a very stupid thing to ask.

tiddlyipom · 22/07/2016 00:53

What a cock!That is just really rude, leaving them there, presumably for you to pick up and wash.Yuk,Stop picking them up.
Get him a pair of these!
Hand knitted, no less.

Valentine2 · 22/07/2016 01:07

Will anyone reply my question please ? Why all these men are having a wank when they have women sitting couple feet away?

MrsDoylesTeaParty · 22/07/2016 01:13

Loving the cat bum condom story! Grin
OP that is really gross, how hard is it to put something in the wash basket.. Best place for a wank would be the shower surely!

MrsDoylesTeaParty · 22/07/2016 01:19

Valentine Probably because men typically have higher sex drives than women (not saying this applies to all) and need to release more.. Makes them less frustrated and no pressure on the woman.. I don't feel like it all the time so I'm happy that DP wanks.

CakeNinja · 22/07/2016 01:25

Oi, someone needs to answer my question first Grin

What do they do with a condom AND the sock? Condoms are expensive (well, not as expensive as a child granted), why waste one? And what need is there for the sock aswell? Or at all? Confused I'd love to ask dp but he's snoring next to me.

Valentine2 · 22/07/2016 01:35

tea party
Thanks for the reply. Hmm makes sense. but I would love DH to try it on me first even if I them refuse his advances. Then he can go on and have sex with himself. Otherwise it would outrage me to no end. Thankfully he is safe so far as no stack of socks in this house though I don't know what he does in his shower Hmm

Nocabbageinmyeye · 22/07/2016 01:35

no more condoms in the cat 😂 has me crying with laughter - hilarious!!

So really it's not the washing machine eating socks at all, the age old problem has been solved!

Valentine2 · 22/07/2016 01:36

It's socks-based-infidelity syndrome OP. Treat it thoroughly. Grin

e1y1 · 22/07/2016 01:39

Yes Valentine.

Could be any number of things -

Woman may not feel like it as often as the man (not always the case granted)

Bit of free time on their hands and think why not?

Also during sex, you have the job of pleasing yourself and your partner, in alone time, it's just you.

Would imagine most people masturbate from time to time, some maybe never, some multiple times I have heard.

Just a normal human thing to do.

Does not bother me one bit, provided they cleans up after themself and don't go wiping it on the curtains as some PP say their exPs have been guilty of.

e1y1 · 22/07/2016 01:41

Valentine You will have to start timing his showers Grin

e1y1 · 22/07/2016 01:44

All those poor washing machines, years of being blamed for stealing the socks Grin

None of my washing machines have ever developed a sock fetish, I honestly have never lost a single one (not sure how I haven't).

LucyBabs · 22/07/2016 01:47

Don't we all masterbate? I don't use socks or condoms Grin but isn't it normal for us all to do it, even if we have a partner?

e1y1 · 22/07/2016 01:50

Cake

I have asked mine, answer is; very unlikely that they were used together (unless OPs DP does indeed, have a sock fetish lol) but rather that they were for separate "goes" Grin.

OPs DP may have only had one condom left, as you say, they cost money and unlikely that a man is going to stock up on them for a bunch of dates with Mrs Palm and the five sisters.

Even DH cannot get past the idea of leaving the used condom out, it needs to be binned ASAP!

Doinmummy · 22/07/2016 02:19

Sew the openings of all his socks up and watch him struggle !

Beeziekn33ze · 22/07/2016 02:31

Condom may have been to avoid infecting cock with dirty sock's athlete's foot, varuka or other fungal infection. Yuk!
OP Twin beds, separate rooms??

Bogeyface · 22/07/2016 02:58

Cut the toes off all his socks.

OlennasWimple · 22/07/2016 03:54

Could you get his mum to buy him socks every Christmas and birthday, and remind him regularly that they were a gift from her? Might put him off his stroke?

sashh · 22/07/2016 06:10

Start a facebook group - things found under the bed - invite people to post pictures of dust bunnies and normal under the bed crap - then post your pic with full description.

ForalltheSaints · 22/07/2016 07:02

Awful. As one of the first posters hinted, behaving like a 15 year old.

fizzingmum · 22/07/2016 07:08

This is the funniest thing I have read in ages. The cat with a condom! Grin. And a dog too. And the itchy bum tissue. So funny. My OH has some weird and unsavoury habits that I find sitting on the wrong side of hygienic but if I found crusty socks they would be shoved down his throat Grin
