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?😅

I’d be suspicious as well. Any other signs - wearing nicer clothes, secretive with phone, ‘working late’ etc?

Looks like I’m going to be a single mum after this😅

It sounds like you'd be better off without him.

Wearing nicer clothes but not secretive with his phone and not working late🤷🏻‍♀️

So you had a baby with him after he gave you an STI?

Trust your instincts.

We need some context here if he suddenly going to the gym, Bought some fresh pants and wearing aftershave as well as shagging you a lot
That’s actually the key performance indicator
Once they start having sex elsewhere, they want more at home as well, Almost to even it up and make it fair on you

Either way,if a partner of whatever sex suddenly started to wear perfume or aftershave after not wearing it,it would definitely start alarm bells ringing.

And you stayed with him…… now you’re paranoid.

Understandably

Finish it

I never actually got it I got tested and had the treatment before the results came back negative. We weren’t officially together but had been dating for a few months. I stopped seeing him for a while then we got together. Maybe I am stupid but he was my first love a few years before this all happened. Obviously love made me blind

That’s not necessarily a problem because he knows you won’t look on his phone. Mine used to be in the shower with the other woman texting him. How long are you going to be with this phone? Literally charging on my kitchen worktop face down but it would never have occurred to me in 1 million years to pick it up.

You'll never trust him OP and rightly so, I'd cut my losses and get rid, the dirty, cheating scumbag

This. He's a grade A scumbag. Sorry, OP.

The previous cheating & STI changes things...

It could be innocent, that he is just trying to look after himself a bit but this change has obviously twigged something for you. Maybe he isn't cheating but it shows you don't trust him if you are getting suspicious of him wearing aftershave.

That's where my head immediately went. Maybe we are naive? Or maybe not?

Does he apply a dash to his balls?

So he’s a cheat and he’s either cheating again or hoping to.

Why specifically a younger one? I agree there’s a chance he’s shagging someone but I’m confused why it has to be a younger one.

Oh, what a drip feed.

He sounds utterly vile, why did you stay with him when he gave you an STI so early on by cheating?

If there are no other changes in behaviour it wouldn't worry me. I go through phases of wearing it and then not bothering. It sounds like he just really likes how it smells.

That’s what usually happens isn’t it? You rarely hear of it being Linda the receptionist who a DP/H has charmed into bed.

By wearing 'it' I mean perfume!

I think the fact he's cheated before makes this look suspicious. It's one of the signs to look out for isn't it, a change in behaviour.
Has anyone new started at his work that you know of?

Oh! STI AND a necklace? I can see the attraction…

Maybe someone made a comment about him not smelling fresh? When you’re around people all the time you get used to their scent so you or DH might have not picked up on it but someone external has. Just ask him why?
