Partner suddenly started wearing aftershave to work

[Zebra3462]

My partner never used to wear aftershave at work or at home only if we went out for a meal. I bought him a prada aftershave for Christmas he’d still only wear it or any of his other ones for an occasion even after me saying I like it when he wears aftershave daily. But He’s recently bought 2 prada aftershaves and all of a sudden wearing them to work what’s your opinions am I being unreasonable for finding that odd?😅

Imagine a man writing your post about his wife and her new perfume . . .

HTH.

Humans do odd things. Sometimes I’ll wear perfume daily for months on end, then stop for months, then suddenly decide to start again. I’ve worn my hair in the same up-do style for years but last week decided to start wearing it down and styling it. If I’m doing it to try to impress our hot Chief Actuary at the office or something, I haven’t got the memo yet.

You know your partner, but getting suspicious over something so basic seems a big leap.

Get your ducks in a row OP - sounds like he’s shagging a younger colleague to me.

Your instincts are prickling at the change in him. Can you talk to him about it? If you feel like the relationship is secure you could even name the discomfort you’re feeling?

😂😂Defo.

Recently I’ve started working with someone whiffy. It permeates the room not hugely as not close but I just get this waft. My response has been to wear perfume which I don’t normally do but it does seem to help to have a little sniff of my wrist.

If I only wore perfume to work I’d expect my partner to be confused by that but obviously that’s just me lol

Perhaps as the weather is warm he's feeling the need for a freshener? Maybe one of his colleagues is a bit whiffy?

Christ I have started wearing make up after not touching the stuff for around 25 years. Hope my DH isn’t questioning it. If my DH started wearing aftershave I would not give it a second thought. Have you existing trust issues?

Has he bought new underpants as well? That's a dead giveaway.......

He may be questioning it! Have you talked about it to him?

I’ve never been a perfume wearer but recently started wearing it only to work. My husband hasn’t accused me of cheating!

Also only started straightening my hair, I’d best be careful 😂

Don’t be so ridiculous of course he isn’t. And while conversations with my husband all the time, it hasn’t been necessary for me to explain my use of make up.

Is it just the hot weather? He wants to smell fresh.

He's on the pull.

Maybe he's had a head's up at work. So many people don't seem to realise they stink.

He may not have noticed

That will be it. I’d best hope he doesn’t spot any of the signs then. I’m off upstairs to clear my desk and tidy everything away in case he suddenly notices the make up. Thanks for the tip off. There was me thinking I have a good relationship and me choosing make up isn’t going to change that when all along he just hasn’t noticed. Urgh.

Maybe he just wants to make more of an effort for himself.

If it was me, when he was getting ready for work, I'd say 'oohhhhh spraying the good stuff' & see what he says.

Yes few months into seeing each other he slept with a work colleague and got an sti then bought me a necklace which felt like a guilty present I found out two months later when I started getting symptoms of said sti🤦🏻‍♀️

I did that past two mornings lol he’s not a man of many words tbh so he didn’t respond😂

If you’ve allowed him to get away with that then why would you be surprised if he’s still playing away?

Raise your standards, woman!

That changes things. He thinks he can get away with cheating because he did get away with it. The STI is utterly grim.

I’m not surprised if he’s still playing away haha the post is about him suddenly wearing aftershave basically me asking if that could be a sign of him trying to impress people at work

Why are you still with him?
