Where’s the useby date on this condom?

I’ve just found this. And it sure as fuck isn’t for me.
So either it’s a very old condom or he’s having or planning an affair.

I can only see a LOT number and some other numbers.

Please help before I confront him.

Trying to make me out to be a miserable psycho whenever I bought something up with him.
Ages ago when he was on the phone to his ex, talking excitedly and all amimated I asked him what it was all about, it felt really inappropriate and he told me that I was just flipping out because I was depressed because I had a miscarriage.

If he ever does anything even remotely wrong then it’s because I’m ‘angry all the time’ or ‘I’m pissed off about the miscarriage’ and makes me feel like every problem is down to me.
I’ve been more happy and content in the last 3 months then I have been in 2 years. So that’s bullshit.

And I was in a great mood that day before I walked in on him talking excitedly to his ex (who he knows never got over him). Miscarriage hadn’t even entered my brain! Yet that’s what caused me to question it apparently.

He’s absolutely innocent and done nothing wrong.

He’s now packed and gone.
I will take a picture of the lock

That’s bullshit Another.

It hadn’t even crossed my mind to ‘get rid’ Jesus fucking H Christ! It’s my husband, we have two kids, I’m pregnant, and I love the stupid bastard.

I was happy and content until I found a damn condom on his floor!

But hey, thanks for making me feel a lot more shite. This is my fault too. Fucking wonderful.

Sounds like you'd be better off in the long in anyway.

Throwing a miscarriage into any argument is cunt tier behaviour.

"I’m not sure this is enough to LTB"

What does this mean then?

Nope that’s 20 years (which adds more bullshit onto his condom story) we split up for around 4 years, it was a slow process getting back together but we were happier than we ever had been. Now this.

ShitHelpMe · 23/06/2018 19:52

And if you’re questioning whether I’m a troll stay then report me.

Or perhaps you would like to see a picture of my dead baby (it was a second trimester miscarried, I have pictures of his hands and feet) for proof? Or something else you would like proof of?

Seriously who would think this up.

I just want to scream. I want to drink two bottles of wine and SCREAM.

That escalated quickly.

ShitHelpMe · 23/06/2018 19:56

Hi do you undo a combination lock?

I’ve tried the obvious numbers and none of them work.

AnotherOriginalUsername · 23/06/2018 19:57

In the nicest possible way, if you've flown off the handle with him as you are with posters on this thread, do you not think he might have left this evening just to prevent the arguments around the kids?

BipolarSunset · 23/06/2018 20:00

Hope you and the kids are ok OP. Hopefully he's just gone out to calm down as he doesn't want to row in front of the kids? X

ShirleyPhallus · 23/06/2018 20:02

Bolt cutters to get rid of the lock?

ShitHelpMe · 23/06/2018 20:03

You’ve been trying to goad me this whole time Another, either you think I’m a troll and you’re trying to trip me up or you’re just a heartless arsehole who likes to trample on people who are suffering. Either way, I’m not entertaining you any more.

OP posts:
ShitHelpMe · 23/06/2018 20:08

Oh it gets better!

He’s just text me to tell me it fell out his rucksack! (He needed a ruck sack today).

NOT out of his chest.

Why the fuck would a condom he wanted to use with me, be packed away into a rucksack?!

OP posts:
Emma198 · 23/06/2018 20:13

Were you living together back in 2015, OP? Is it a rucksack he doesn't use often?

ShitHelpMe · 23/06/2018 20:17

We began living together at the end of 2015, the very end of.

I’ve emailed the condom company because the answer to the condoms usebydate is key.
I also called them but of course they aren’t available at 8pm, I don’t even know why I bothered trying.

OP posts:
ShitHelpMe · 23/06/2018 20:20

Shirley Id rather do it in a way that he can’t find out about! I shouldn’t really be doing it at all. I always assumed it was paper work in there, it’s honestly never crossed my mind.
The only thing I’d really be looking for is the rest of the condoms to get a better picture of when he bought them.

I’ve calmed down now, I wonder when the feeling of being absolutely gutted will come.

He’s been my best mate for bloody ever. I wouldn’t just be losing a husband.
I keep dreaming he’s having an affair so that probably hasn’t helped me getting mad with him. I realise that’s just he pregnancy hormones though?! I assume so anyway because it’s only been since then.

OP posts:
VioletCharlotte · 23/06/2018 20:26

Sorry you're going through this, you don't need it when you're pregnant. In the nicest possible way, I do think you could be overreacting as a result of the pregnancy hormones. Dreams can be weird, often they seem so real, we believe what we've dreamt about is actually happening. It could well be that this was an old condom that had been in his bad for years.

Anyway, try and calm down if you can, as it's not good for you or the baby to be this upset.

Has he given you any other reason to suspect he may be cheating?

@Satayyoustay OP is in a bad way, try not to be a cunt.

ShitHelpMe · 23/06/2018 20:37

No picture of my child makes me a sick fuck.
He was bloody beautiful.

I think it’s best I leave after that wonderful statement.

OP posts:
EveningHare · 23/06/2018 20:42

i would ask him for the combination now, you have nothing to lose

Jesuisleloup · 23/06/2018 20:48

Do you have anyone that could come round and help you ? Someone to be there with you ?
