Surely your daughter is in a high back booster at 6?

If you just put her in the car maybe he thought a booster would be better than nothing?

He's your 'partner' but you have no idea why he has a booster seat in his car?

OK.

Oh jesus christ it's you again.

Every week it's a new reason why you don't trust him. It doesn't matter if any of them are good reasons (and this one is slightly better than all the rest of them)

You don't trust him. You never will. End the sodding relationship and put us all out of our misery.

OP, you really aren't in any state of mind to be in a relationship. You've posted about a dozen threads in a matter of weeks in which you are convinced that your boyfriend is cheating on you, for reasons ranging from a typo in one of his text messages to him going for a drive on a sunny day to owning more than one toothbrush. You also announced that you wanted a baby with him when you'd only been with him five months.

Nobody here knows if your boyfriend is shagging someone else but JFC, this isn't healthy for either of you.

THIS! The booster is the least of your worries!

It's really simple, just ask him.
Maybe he never got round to moving it. Maybe he had a friend in there with a child. Maybe he had to transfer a child at work.
Why do you think it's dodgy? Secret child (but just the one, he told you about 2 but kept one secret)?
Planning an abduction but ensuring child car safety whilst he does?

You really really need to seek help for your anxiety rach.

Not joking.

This, and the OP's previous threads about this bloke, cannot be serious! Made up bollocks I reckon 🤣

35% of those responding to the poll think OP is not unreasonable! Who are these people who think it is dodgy that a man has a booster seat in his car when his girlfriend has a 6-year-old daughter!

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · Today 13:33

Any other children he knows that he mentions at all? Did he know you were taking the car and had time to remove the seat? Do you never get in his car at all usually (so the seat might be permanent) or has it suddenly appeared?

Hes had someone in his car who needs a booster seat, who that is, as others said, is anyone's guess. Youll have to ask.

May I ask why you are reacting like this instead of just asking him? Has he behaved in a way that makes you suspicious?
