Unexplainable Viagra packet

Firstly we live abroad. It’s difficult to get some items here so we sometimes order things in UK, get them delivered to sons house and then pick up next time we visit.
husband has ‘issues’ down below where he niw takes a tablet…. Ok, no problem. He orders them online and they go to sons house.
this is where it gets puzzling.
the last time we went over was November last year, in our car. Husband also has a van he uses for work here.
so, a few days ago we were in the van and the (empty) box of tablets was on the dash . I questioned why it was there obviously and he said he was looking for something in glovebox, so forgot to put box back in there. But why the heck is the box in the van in the first place???
I can think of no reason why they would be there except for dodgy ones…..
he claims he has no idea.
what would you think????

I'd be questioning it, too Sad

Used the van to dispose of them?....rather than the communal, house bin?

Maybe took them inthe van before he came into the house so he was ready to go?

Have you only ever collected them in the car?

Logbaskets · 25/01/2024 14:21

Only ever go to uk in car.

i ‘assume’ as soon as we returned from uk the tablets went in his bedside drawers as has happened in the past.
I am literally going out my mind thinking of possible scenarios as to why box was in his van.
obviously I questioned him and he says he really doesn’t know….. can’t decide if he is evading things or what!

Saying he doesn't know is ridiculous.

Chersfrozenface · 25/01/2024 14:50

The box is empty.

How many were in if when he picked it up in November? How many times has he taken one since then at home?

Is there another box at home?

How many boxes did he pick up in November?

Basically, try to work out how many he's used at home and hoe many he may have used elsewhere.

When he's at work he has plenty of opportunities. Even if he doesn't stay away overnight there's lunch hour, travel time to and from jobs, trips to "pick up supplies"

I assume due to the long periods between picking them up, that you might have a stock that makes it hard to work out if they've all been used on "for you" so to speak.

Cheating is one option, but the other could be just convivence, or it just helps to separate the taking them from the occasion itself. I could see how taking them in the van before he comes into the house, could be nice rather than saying...lets go upstairs, bring a glass of water love. It's odd that he wouldn't recall doing it, so I would be suspicious but only you'd know if he'd be embarrassed by the idea of you finding out he wanted to...surprise you as it were..

Saying he doesn't know is insulting your intelligence. Of course he fucking knows. A box for dick pills didn't just magic itself inside his van. Where there's smoke....

Ah that old chestnut. Next it will be 'he can't remember'.
Then he'll get irritated you won't accept his ridiculous fob off about his sudden onset memory loss.

I imagine they are in his van because he put them in there. In the glove box apparently. And I bet he is now kicking himself for not realising he had turfed them out when he was looking for something.
I imagine, unfortunately, he did not randomly put an empty packet in the glove box though.

Sorry OP, it isn't looking good. And his response of he doesn't know, is hardly reassuring. Its the response of someone who hasn't yet thought of an excuse.

Unless he mistook them for paracetamol once. Is he blind as well as forgetful?

Yep, it'll be "Stop going on about it, I told you (complete non-answer) already."

My first thought would be an affair and he's visiting in work hours between appointments.
