Found a condom in boyfriends jeans pocket

I've just been through the laundry basket to put a load of washing on and found an unopened condom in the pocket of my boyfriends jeans.

We don't use condoms.

Aibu to think there could be a perfectly innocent reason for it being there??

Good luck OP. I honestly wouldn't know how to call this one. Flowers

Hope your ok OP - it doesn't look promising does it

mehhh · 22/11/2017 15:36

I personally don't see the issue with you snooping you wouldn't have done it had you not found a condom in his pocket!! I'd do exactly the same in your position! Why would he have them if you don't use them together?! Don't say anything until he comes in and then 'find' it in front of him and see what he says... I'd also ask the question if he has any more other than the one you 'find' to see if he lies to you about the ones in his draw

I think Mrs TP has a valid point about using it to keep phone dry whilst surfing

MrsTerryPratchett · 22/11/2017 15:40

Particularly if it's an unlubricated one.

bigapplerecords · 22/11/2017 15:41

He doesn't take his phone in the water with him. His best mate owns the surf shop on the beach - he has keys so he can get changed/shower etc.

There may well be a legitimate reason for a condom being in his jeans. I wouldn't just assume the worst even if almost every poster on here is absolutely sure he is being unfaithful.

As to criticising you for moving in together so quickly, I think that is out of order. Me and DH got married 5 months after meeting. We didn't live together first. We just knew we were right for each other and have been married close to 40 years.

Quite a few friends/relatives got married many years after meeting (the longest being 14 years) and they are all divorced now

I just want to send you hugs for what you are going through. No matter what the answer make sure you look after number 1. You sound an intelligent woman so don't let him ( or anyone) pull the wool over your eyes....none of this " if you don't believe me ask ....." it's bollocks and you deserve honest

Sending hugs xxx

GlitteryFluff · 22/11/2017 15:53

Hope there's some reasonable explanation but if there isn't at least you've only wasted 6months instead of years. Flowers

good luck op

alphajuliet123 · 22/11/2017 15:58

Good luck OP, really hope this turns out ok for you

Chrys2017 · 22/11/2017 16:00

Still can't understand people who don't wash jeans for months or years

Actually some people never wash their jeans. It's not recommended. You're supposed to put them in the freezer apparently.

I don't know about 'posh wanks' but my friend once caught a bf wanking over her while she was asleep - he used a condom to hide the evidence. Fucking grim like.

Hope it works out ok OP

Zorrro · 22/11/2017 16:10

It's probably best face to face. Show him it, then wait for his explanation. Then ask, if you can look at his phone with his permission.

If he's got nothing to hide, and anxious to prove to you that he's not cheating, he should be happy to hand it over there and then. It's no good him giving it to you an hour later when he's got all the apps deleted it needs to be there and then or no deal.

RacingRaccoons · 22/11/2017 16:12

Hope it all works out OP!

mmuganga333 · 22/11/2017 16:16

You should ask politely whats happened? and you might find is innocent and it was done by your closely friend. Please don't Punic,take time and you will find the truth.

🤞

debbs77 · 22/11/2017 16:19

I would assume it was left there from before. You say he doesn't wear jeans to work, so it could be from before you met.

And blimey, I was pregnant with our first baby together at 6 months!

Mooey89 · 22/11/2017 16:22

Good luck OP

BitOutOfPractice · 22/11/2017 16:23

@SheGotBetteDavisEyes and lo and behold they arrived, just as I foresaw!

mishfish · 22/11/2017 16:26

Good luck OP

mrsBeverleyGoldberg · 22/11/2017 16:30

bathghter · 22/11/2017 16:31

i wouldn’t be asking id bhe getting hold of his phone OP. looks like a rat and scurries about in the night like a rat... good luck.

TammySwansonTwo · 22/11/2017 16:34

Good luck OP. I probably wouldn't mention the ones in the drawer - ask him if there are any more and see what he says.

SleepingStandingUp · 22/11/2017 16:34

Actually some people never wash their jeans those people do NOT parent toddlers in them then.themGood luck OP and trust your gut
