Someone else’s KNICKERS down the sofa - balance of possibilities?

[SuspiciousAboutKnickers]

This incident happened a few years ago but DH recently reminded me of it .

A pair of skimpy black knickers was found by me stuffed down the side of the sofa. I’m pretty thorough on cleaning and regularly wiped down and hoovered down the sides of said (leather) sofa so they couldn’t have been there long. Sofa was quite new and bought new not secondhand.

We’d recently had our DC’s birthday party.

DH’s ‘suggestion’ was that they had dropped out of one of DC’s friend’s mothers handbags while they were sitting there waiting for party to finish. Possibly no more than 10 minutes. Would you not notice that a pair of knickers had fallen out of your handbag while sitting on a sofa though? How much moving around would you have to do to get them wedged down the side of the sofa?

AIBU to think this was very fishy?

@GabriellaMontez

Were they clean?

No. They were ‘very fishy’, apparently

@BigBadVoodooHat, it happened to a cousin of mine, found them in her bed.

It’s how she found out that her son had a girlfriend! My cousin is super laid back and we still laugh about it.

What I can’t understand is how someone walks around not noticing they forgot to put their knickers on.

Either he’s cheated on you, or he’s bought them to wank into while watching porn.

That’s my guess anyway. The birthday party explanation is so far fetched.

@BigBadVoodooHat

I’m amazed by how often MN-ers seemingly find mystery knickers in their home.

It’s never happened to a single person I know, yet barely a week goes by without a thread about random knickers turning up in someone’s house. And they’re invariably black and skimpy. 🤔.

Weird isn't it.

Oh another pair of mystery knickers , that’s refreshing!

The only thing that smells fish is those knickers. What a stupid story, no one carrys knickers in their bag. There's 2 scenarios here op 1st they are yours and fall out of the laundry basket or 2. The most likely hes had an affair in youre House.

Can’t say I have but then we have motion sensor logs and cctv so he would be caught pretty fast sneaking a women in lol it’s how I caught our eldest bringing his mates around to watch a raid on next door after I’d rang him to tell him to wait around near school till I got back.

A thong once got caught inside my top in the wash I hadn’t noticed and it managed to dislodge itself in the middle of asda😂
It’s a very rare occurrence but it’s not impossible!
What was your husbands reaction when presented with the knickers?

Mystery knickers aside, your DP sounds like a complete twat...

Also I do keep a spare pair of two in my handbag. A rather unsexy period pair and a sexier just in case ever god forbid shart, cough wee or something 😅😅

@BigBadVoodooHat Eewwwww !!!

@ShirleyPhallus I rather thought the suspicion was pointing at the ‘sister’.

Tbh I often go home without my knickers when I've been shagging the OM on his sofa. I mean who even noticed of their knickers are on or off??

I've certainly gone home with my knickers in my pocket... but not for quite a few years.

we had mystery pants!
Giant beige elastic ones, abandoned on the floor of our downstairs loo. We had found them before the poor, poor babysitter phoned to say she'd left them behind and could we bin them. (her reasoning was she'd come straight from work and menopausal and hot)
I still cringe for her. That must've been one hell of a call to make. Lovely lady.

"...she had immediately asked her what she was doing at mine and was I in as she shouldn’t be there if I wasn’t in"

So what you are saying is, your mother for some reason, thought your sister might be going around to your house when you were not there.
WTF was that about? And why is it being referenced in a discussion about a pair of knickers you do not own?

@Wiredforsound

Falling down a trouser leg is a possibility. I’ve done that a few times.

actually this is the most likely. Kids party on a weekend, threw on clothes from the floor. I remember my aunt kicking a pair of knickers out onto Venice Beach. Happy days.

We also had mystery knickers! Ours were huge floral ones, and they appeared on the kitchen floor underneath the radiator, totally out of the blue. I think the person who lived in this house previously had been drying them, and they had dropped down the back, then eventually popped out. (I am certain about this, because a pair of mine is stuck down there now.)

They were VERY dusty so I figured it was unlikely DP was having an affair with a bloomer-wearer.

Someone who wanted to cause trouble in your relationship planted the pants to start a row. Maybe they do it at every house they visit to see how many couples they can split up.

@OneForMeToo I’m not sure why but this really made me laugh, reminds me of when I go on holiday I always take double the amount on knickers I need. DP once joked am I planning on shitting myself everyday of our holiday🤦🏽‍♀️

@Northeastmum93 that’s exactly what I do. I pack the children like it too. Only takes one dodgy tummy and your in trouble.

If I'm reading the comment about your sister right it sounds like he is giving the impression he was having an affair with her. I do have a nasty suspicious mind though.

Whatever the truth behind the knickers in the sofa, your DH sounds like an arse. He has clearly lied to you about watching porn and when you've found out and questioned him his response is to try to doubt yourself/make you think you're probably over-reacting by reminding you of a previous occasion when you had concerns about whether he was being honest/faithful and he managed to persuade you that you were clearly in the wrong.

Even if the knickers incident had an innocent explanation I'd be worried that he's trying to 'train' you to assume that any doubts you have are unfounded.

I live with 2 children whom I buy all their clothes for. Both have PE bags that stay at school.

Twice now in our washing I have had a random woman's trainer sock appear, no one knows how they got there.

He could be a pantie sniffer & panic stuffed them down the sofa when disturbed watching porn?

I don’t know even if this tale is new. I do know that the best sex always happens when you are wearing your grungiest grannie pants (greyed from a thousand washes) and that your period is most likely to appear when in your best Victoria’s Secret lace thong.
