Hey Everyone this a very long read but this is something that happened weeks ago but still hurting my head a bit. I would be a chronic overthinker. So a few weeks ago. Me and my boyfriend had really big fall outs it was a Thursday and a Friday. My boyfriend has condoms sitting in his spare room ontop of a cabinet ever since before I met him. The spare room is basically just full of ps4 games and old stuff, some clothes. Before the fall out I’m nearly sure I checked them and there was 11. Because I remember it was a pack of 12 and I remember there was always one spare sitting in the box. (Me and my boyfriend used one one time I was on my period) At the end of August. So me and my partner had a big fall out on the Thursday and I stormed out of his house at 11pm. (He was messaging me when I left and he went straight to bed) then on Friday we never spoke all day and I bumped into him at the shop around 6pm and he told me to come to his house for a chat (which I couldn’t go because I had already booked a night away with my friends) so then I started texting him and we texted back and forth up until around 10.30pm when he told me he’s exhausted and in for bed. Then the next morning around 11am he landed at my house and just acted normal we made up and I went and spent the evening with his son and him no sign of anti guiltyness. (His sons 14). And I stayed over and me and OH slept together etc. and also stayed with him on Sunday. Then it was Monday morning I checked his condoms and I’m nearly sure there was 1 missing. Because the last time I checked there was 11 and then now 10. The last time I checked there was one spare one in the box then this time it was 2,4,6,8 and then two spare ones equalling 10. Where as before it was 2,4,6,8,10 then one spare one in the box. I rung him straight away and asked who he fucked whenever we had them fall outs (although I don’t know when he would of got the time) and he was offended when I asked him and said he hasn’t been in that spare room in weeks and we broke up for literally a week over this. He’s never gave me any suspicion of cheating and on that morning he came to my house (before the condom incident) he handed me over his phone and even gave me the password for his phone and any time we have fell out before he easily hands over his phone. And alls he really does is works and sleeps. He also told me it might of been his son as his son is in and out of that room getting ps4 games, but he asked his son and his son said no. But over the weekend his son was tellin us he has a friend whose a girl and she was hinting about him going to the formal with her etc. so I have no clue. But the week we where broke up he landed to my house crying and put his hand on my heart and said he has never even looked at another girl since me and he even messaged my friend and my dad to try and get speaking to me and even swore blind to him he never done anything. Advice would be grateful I also have screenshots I could share from what he said. He after 5 days then told me he also remembers a month ago giving a guy from work one and then he messaged the guy to. Will post photos

Oh, is Mumsnet Facebook now?

SALaw · 28/10/2026 08:17

I think you have a typo in your post as it implies the Dad is your boyfriend whereas I assume it’s the son, as you sound no more than 14.

rachel955 · 27/10/2026 16:02

So none of you think he cheated and I’m just bein a phyco? Can I genuinely ask what ur reasons are that he hasn’t??

None of us could possibly know if he has or he hasn’t but that doesn’t detract from you most definitely are “being a phyco”.

Kepler22B · 28/10/2026 08:22

You messaged someone from his insta account without his knowledge?

How can you not see how abusive you are being? I hope he sees it and does break up with you to regain some peace in his life.

MagnoliaParks · 28/10/2026 08:23

Tbf the way the OP was going on I would’ve come up with some story to explain something I didn’t know the answer to to shut her up.

OP, do the guy a favour and leave. No one’s happy in a relationship with no trust, and you’re never going to believe him. You’re supposed to trust what he says, and if you don’t, call it.

LaidOnYourBackWithTheBoyWithTheArabStrap · 28/10/2026 08:25

If you’re auditing his condoms then your relationship is fucked, pardon the pun. End it and don’t enter into another relationship until you can sort out your issues or those relationships will also be doomed.

Dandeloosha · 28/10/2026 08:35

You’re the red flag. He needs to leave you for his own mental health. You’re abusing him.

Chefpig · 28/10/2026 08:46

rachel955 · 27/10/2026 18:35

What makes you think he hasn’t x

Why do you think he has?

Has he cheated on you or anyone else previously?

Chefpig · 28/10/2026 08:50

rachel955 · 27/10/2026 22:22

When we faught really bad that day on the phone he was like “I wish I did ride someone so I could admit somethin the way u keep accusing me”

You sound like you're off of Jeremy Kyle with the words you use. You sound common as much. Get some class from somewhere because right now you're embarrassing yourself. Also, finish this relationship. I hope the 14 year old child doesn't have to listen to any of your shit.

No he messaged the guy himself from his Instagram. Although I do remember about a month and a half ago me and him sittin in his eatin dinner and he was talkin to me about his apprentice and told me he was talkin to him about condoms saying that there is different flavours and all this

You don't trust him.
If you're right not to, you're better off without him. If you're wrong, he's better off without you.

There is no situation that this dynamic isn't incredibly toxic.

Never he has always openely gave me his phone if mine was dead, left his phone in the room with me, that weekend we had the big fall out (I never asked for it) he told me his password and the next mornin after givin me his password he went out and played ps4 with his son and just left his phone sittin beside me. Surely if he had went out and met someone he wouldn’t risk the chance of leavin his phone incase I went into it? He also told me the first time we met up that if he had done somethin the guilt would be trippin him

Oh it’s half term isn’t it! Doh!

You went too far with the flavoured condoms op.

Moros · 28/10/2026 09:06

He's slept with every single eligible woman in the UK plus parts of France and Germany. He's planning a trip to shag his way around Iceland and the Faroes. Right now, while you're looking at him, he's actually having a three-way with a couple of the Kardashians.

Whatever it takes for you to leave this man alone and go and get help for your deep psychological problems.

TwinklyAmberSloth · 28/10/2026 09:21

@rachel955 OMG please go and get yourself some MH counselling.

You are never going to be happy in a relationship if you are that insecure.

Getting him to ask his 14 year old son if he took a condom is unhinged.

The guy clearly didn't cheat and I'm surprised he hasn't run a mile.

This is not the right time in your life to have a relationship.

Weewah · 28/10/2026 09:45

rachel955 · 27/10/2026 16:19

It entirely does matter if he’s cheated I don’t want to remain with a cheat ? How do people not get that

This relationship is a disaster regardless. Best for you both if you end it.

Teanbiscuits33 · 28/10/2026 09:54

I haven’t read all the texts but I’ve read one of yours and you really should not be anywhere near a relationship at the moment. You’re too untrusting and sound really young and immature from your texts.

If you don’t trust him to this degree, what’s the point in this relationship? Relationships are supposed to be happy and you’re clearly stressed all the time. What an exhausting way to live, whether he’s cheated or not. Sort yourself out before contemplating a relationship again.

Comeonbabygrillmycheeseburger · 28/10/2026 09:58

Have you considered ending this unhealthy relationship and getting a hobby instead? I’ve heard that Pilates is very popular these days.

I would say it is because he is afraid you will murder him in his own bloody bed if he tried. Christ girl get help.

This thread is comedy gold. Poor guy.

ForRedPoet · 28/10/2026 19:22

Poor bloke. Show him this thread so he can open his eyes to your abuse and run.
You are a walking red flag.

🤣

It's not broken. It's covered with the missing condom. The answer to the condom conundrum was staring OP in the face from the very beginning.

Reading that brings back memories of constantly being accused by an ex boyfriend when I was a teenager. Please get yourself some help and leave the poor man alone. You dont trust him and you are now a fully grown woman. Theres no way you should behaving like this.
