What the actual f - ex has ordered lube one day after splitting

Name changed as frankly embarrassing. I don’t even know what to think. We broke up yesterday, still living together but the plan is that I’m going to move out as soon as I find somewhere. He said he wants to be friends and it’s all quite amicable, we are both 29. Anyway I’ve just gone on Amazon (we share an account because it has prime membership) and looked at most recent orders and he has ordered lube and three new tops... am I overthinking to think that he is planning to launch himself straight away into someone new with a whole new sex life? He literally never buys new clothes.

I clicked on this thinking of a different type of splitting entirely 😳

YouDon'tHaveToStopWankingWhenYou'reSad is probably too long to be a username, which is a tragedy Grin

@FizzyGreenWater

Someone should try it and see if it works! Grin (Though not me, I like my username and only change it for special occasions.) Grin

Yes order LARGE condoms! 🤣 My bet is that he’s bought the lube on your shared account for a reason, he wanted you to see it.

The lube is for Pamela. Pamela Handerson.

BubblyBarbara · 27/08/2020 23:08

He’s disgusting OP. He (and you) should be waiting a reasonable period before being sexual again given what has just happened. You’re good to be rid of him.

VandalisedVegetables · 27/08/2020 23:12

I can fully understand why you're upset. If he's never used lube to masturbate and never buys new clothes I can totally see why you've assumed it's been ordered to start having sex with someone new and just because you've split it up it doesn't mean feelings are switched off, it sounds like you've been together a very long time and I can understand why you'd be hurt at him preparing to have sex with someone less than 24 hours after you've split.

Sure, he may have been ordering new clothes and lube to wank differently, or he maybe doing it because he plans to have to sex with someone, while it's true that his sex life isn't your concern anymore, it's not unreasonable to feel hurt if he has indeed started planning to fuck someone the day after breaking up.

I think some people have been a bit harsh. I wouldn't start buying condoms and getting in a tit for tat childish game. I'd work on starting to heal and getting yourself somewhere to live so you can properly move on and I'd start changing passwords to all shared accounts like amazon, eBay, Netflix and whatever else.

Youre heart might hurt now but you will be ok ❤️

When I split up with my ex after 10 years and a child he had the absolute cheek to ask to borrow my car so he could take his date out. We’d been split up 2 weeks max. NOTHING surprises me.

Mine bought some satin sheets...... fucking navy, satin sheets!

This is as good as i got

@VandalisedVegetables

Lovely considered response; I agree.

slipperywhensparticus · 27/08/2020 23:20

Why does he need lube? Is he sexually incompetent? Wham bam hit the fan?

Remove yourself off the account dont even tell him you did it just cancel your payment details off it and set up your own pretend you didn't notice

Tadpolesandfroglets · 27/08/2020 23:24

Has he got curly hair? He may be following the curly girl routine. At a long shot. 😂

Suntrea · 27/08/2020 23:25

Why are we shaming a man for buying lube 😂

iswhois · 27/08/2020 23:30

I've never known any man to wank with lube to be honest

Even if that is the case it's a bit of a kick to the OP as that's the first thing on his mind. Ahhh what am I gonna do now we've split up, better buy some lube so at least I can pleasure myself. Surely most people would have more important things on their mind after a break up..... it is a bit of a kick in the teeth.

EKGEMS · 27/08/2020 23:33

@nc600 You're really charming aren't you?

Polnm · 27/08/2020 23:34

Clothes from Amazon?

Hardly pulling gear

King Kong Big Dong
I think that is a dog toy

Sososad1 · 27/08/2020 23:36

I can see why you are upset . He is planning to use it with someone I’d think. Could there be someone on the scene. Best of luck op, you will get through this

dontgobaconmyheart · 27/08/2020 23:41

Its surely much more likely he is buying lube for wanking. I've known many more men who do this than I have men who actually have the wherewithal or co consideration to purchase lube thinking of a female partners comfort. Wanking is much better with lube surely, getting someone off with it is certainly more effective.

Regardless OP, what BS. Sorry you came across it. Separate the amazon accounts asap, tell him you hope he enjoys his lube Hmm. Buy yourself something nice and crack on with the moving out. Don't make comparisons between his response and yours. He might be one of those people that does it in times of stress. Better to write it off as a bit of a grim find, feel embarrassed for him and start your healing. Flowers

Proudboomer · 27/08/2020 23:44

You are no longer a couple so sooner or later you both will be having sex with different people so just move on and concentrate on getting your new home. Why worry about why he has bought lube you have more important things to think about.

HumptyD · 28/08/2020 00:01

I can’t help but feel like he would know you would see it. I would be upset too, just keep your chin up and try move out ASAP, and when you do buy him a parting gift a nice bottle
Of lube with a bow on it, knock yourself out chap Grin all the best, ignore the replies off people acting like they have never been upset/angry/jelous 24 HOURS AFTER A BREAK UP. Lots of love x

PeacefulPlease · 28/08/2020 00:04

VandalisedVegetables The condoms thing was supposed to be a joke, no one really expects the OP to actually do it!

DopamineHits · 28/08/2020 00:43

Now you're no longer an item his sex life is none of your business I'm afraid.

Then he should really not be buying his wanking aids from their shared amazon account. It's not difficult to be discreet.

TomPinch · 28/08/2020 01:06

There's no point crying over split lube.

cuparfull · 28/08/2020 01:19

7 years is but a drop in the ocean of your lifetime. Move on
