Am I being unreasonable to overthink condoms?

Hi everyone so am I being unreasonable here or not. Just out of interest. So my partner of 9 months he has a pack of condoms in his. Just out of the way in a separate room in a drawer he told me he bought them like 2 years ago (way before I even knew him) and just brought them when he moved into this house away from his mums when him and his ex girlfriend broke up. I’m asking this because me and him used one tonight I’m sorry for the tmi but I’m on my period and just felt more comfortable using one. So that’s how the topic came up. I have the mirena coil in so we don’t generally use condoms. It’s durex ones and on the box it says expiry date 2029. So I’m not sure how long condoms last haha. Am I over thinking this?? Do men just randomly keep them.

You haven’t been together long and presumably used them at the start of your relationship, so having condoms he bought before he met you sounds perfectly normal. Plus you use condoms sometimes because you prefer it when you have your period - so why is it suspicious that he has condoms?

ETA: are you the poster who changes names and posts endless stuff about her boyfriend having two toothbrushes and driving home listening to music meaning he must be cheating?
