Toothbrush heads in pocket

88 replies

Essexmummy88 · 12/02/2022 12:50

My “partner” has four heads of toothbrushes in his coat pocket, yes I went through his pockets to find change for drinks at toddler group. He says he “just has them” but that’s obviously not exactly normal so I’m wondering is there some reason he would stash toothbrush heads in his pockets? Could it be some drug related thing?

There must be more to this OP, your use of “partner” and immediate suspension of drugs. The more info you give the more posters will be able to help.

Are they electric toothbrush heads? In packaging or out?

bonfireheart · 12/02/2022 12:52

Drugs?!

JaneJeffer · 12/02/2022 12:53

Were they in the same or different pockets?

girlmom21 · 12/02/2022 12:53

Drugs wouldn't be my first though. Why are they yours?

T00Ts · 12/02/2022 12:53

Shamelessly following to learn how toothbrush heads are used as ‘drugs paraphernalia’.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 12/02/2022 12:54

Are they the heads for an electric toothbrush, or has he decapitated some manual toothbrushes?

They were in separate pockets. Not electric, plastic ones snapped off. I assume drugs because he has form.

Thanks for linking my that.. I’m not “not engaging” just because I don’t do something instantly. It’s hard

Ah that is very strange.

OP, saw your last thread. Please get help.

If someone is assaulting you, I'm reckon toothbrushes are an unhelpful distraction.

CharacterForming · 12/02/2022 12:58

I can think of a bunch of innocent reasons why he could be carrying them, but in all those cases he'd just say "oh, yeah, I guess it does look odd. I have them in my pocket because X". The slightly suspicious thing is that he doesn't just tell you why.

bonfireheart · 12/02/2022 12:59

If you do find out its drug related what are you going to do?

Oh OP I was so hoping MNHQ's support was going to help you leave him Sad

So if it’s not drug related (I’ll admit that was random to me but where my mind first went) any ideas why one would carry snapped off toothbrush heads?

No. I don't find any of this funny at all. I'm suggesting that you are focusing on something that is distracting you (and your resources).

Mnhq did the most they could, the police did what they could. But here I still am!

Maybe he's trying to mess with your head?

user1471504747 · 12/02/2022 13:01

I linked it because otherwise you’re going to get a load of random unhelpful posts from people who don’t quite understand how bad the situation is.

Serious abuse and some random toothbrush heads are worlds apart OP and I don’t think getting advice on the toothbrush heads is going to help.

Do you think it would be more helpful to ask MNHQ to delete this thread, and then instead you can post on your other thread with your current concerns?

It's clearly something dodgy or he'd have given you an explanation
