Husband vaginal thrush treatment?

[Laurawhitty94]

Hi all, wondering if you can help me with this…
I haven’t spoken to him about this yet because I’d like to actually know what you guys would do because I am rather impulsive and I am a little dramatic as well.

This morning I went to my husbands car to grab some ibuprofen out of his glove box ,I knew he had some because he keeps it for the gym and things. However I found a used vaginal thrush pessary (the rubbish) in the glovebox.

I haven’t had thrush recently. He hasn’t mentioned having it and that’s exactly the type of thing he would mention to me ,he’s not shy or anything but also why would he use a vaginal thrush medicine anyway? It was the combo one , the cream and the pill kind.

I'm very confused and anxious. Could it be that he is seeing a woman or am I jumping the gun ? Why on earth would he have that in his car and am I wrong to have looked in the glove box without telling him I’m gonna go to his car ?

How do I bring this up exactly with him.
We also have the life 360 app for the kids and he has had his location off for weeks now and I just assumed he had location off in general but now I’m thinking maybe he could be seeing someone ?

I don’t know. Please let me know what you’d say and do. Am I being dramatic or could this be a clue that he’s cheating which I’m kinda feeling like it is right now.

Men can also get thrush under the foreskin. Are you 100% sure the pessary was ‘used’ as in the tablet’s empty wrapping was there and there was no pessary in the applicator? Because I’d have thought the most likely explanation was that he wanted the cream and bought the combi pack by mistake.

If he was having an affair, it seems tremendously unlikely that his other woman would be a) using a thrush pessary in his car and b) leaving it there. That’s really not a thing that any woman would do.

I don't think it suggests cheating either. He's likely bought the wrong cream.

He wouldn't leave that in his car if he was up to no good, surely

But defo ask him - hey what's this I found in your glove box?!

I agree with others that maybe he wanted it for the cream. Not beyond the realm of fantasy to think a man might have wanted to see what the applicator was. I’ve known a few who would probably think it’s to put the pessary tablet down their throat to swallow it 🤦‍♀️.
I can’t imagine many women in long term relationships would insert a pessary in the passenger seat, let alone a woman doing that in front of her affair partner - and then putting it in the glove box instead of a bag/bin. Would be very surprised if he doesn’t casually say he was using the cream himself

I mean it’s possible he bought the pack in error but having been cheated on, I wouldn’t believe that bollocks.

Ask him

No teenager is getting dad to buy one of those then using it in his car. EVER.

Treatments can include a suppository?

"Men can also get thrush under the foreskin"

This. The cream in these packs is twice as strong as off the shelf stuff.

It's possible he used the applicator with the cream bit and disposed of the pessary. Women's cream is often 20% strength. Pharmacists won't normally sell cream higher than 10% to men.

Duplicate post sorry

I think "man buys slightly wrong product for his athletes foot" is more likely than "woman applies thrush medication in her boyfriends car and then leaves the used pessary in the glovebox". Especially when you add into the mix he might have been embarred and rushing when he bought it

People are suggesting it was deliberately left for OP to find, wouldn’t she leave a lacy thong or something rather than medical paraphernalia? You'd have to assume he would me more likely to find it there than the wife in his own glovebox

How would vaginal pessary work on a male for athletes foot??? Mind boggling

Fucking hell. I mean he might be having an affair, who knows, but a used vaginal pessary is still baffling.

I mean, 'hold on a minute love, I've just gotta shove this cannestan pessary up me vag before we get going' doesn't exactly scream sexytime does it?

Yes the empty blister pack was there but no pill and the applicator was just right there with it ,yikes. Sort of realising that if this is an affair they’re obviously pretty close!

Well if he is cheating he is a massive prat to leave something like that lying about in his car for you to find!

Very strange indeed. I agree with a PP, ask him who used it and watch his initial reaction. Do it face to face so you gauge his response.

Vaginal thrush treatments and affairs don't like think things that would go hand in hand. I would barely have that level of openness with husband, so very much doubt it would come up if I was having an affair. Surely "hold on I need to take out my thrush pessary, before we can get it on in the car" would be an absolute mood killer.

My husband struggles on and off with thrush, to the extent that he often doesn't tell me he has it (until he has to turn down sex etc). I wouldn't assume the worst.

I’m never one to go straight to affair but it’s kind of hard to see how this can have a perfectly reasonable explanation 😳

Where did he stick the pessory?

Yes that bit doesn't make sense! But I'd assume he just bought "thrush treatment" and got the wrong kind?

But surely then the pessary would still be in the packaging?

He’s going to have a job making use of a pessary 😂

I would ask him straight out what this was doing in his car and then watch his reaction closely. I certainly wouldn't be having sex with him until I'd got to the bottom of it! Although, I have to say if he is having an affair, how likely is it that OW is using a vaginally pessary for thrush in the passenger seat of his car?? It's bizarre!

I’m gonna throw this out there. Has he taken the tablet orally out of stupidity ? (Weirder things have happened )

clutching at straws here. Is anal thrush a thing?!

It would be a very strange thing for a mistress to insert something like this with his knowledge wouldn’t it?!….
