Please tell me I'm being irrational and there's a simple explanation for this.
H is out at the pub with his dad. I've just been tidying up the livingroom and found H's work notebook lying around. I knew he'd need it for work tomorrow so I put it into his work bag, and when I did that I found three brand new Valentines Day cards (not yet written on). One was "to my wife" (obviously for me) - but there were two more! One was pretty generic, it was decorated with random Valentines-related words ("always", "be mine", "happiness", "kisses", etc) and the other was decorated with an image of love heart sweets and has the words "BE MINE" in large font.
What should I make of this? It looks like they were all purchased at the same time, as they're all from Sainsburys.
My first thought was WTF?! Then I tried to think of a reasonable explanation. We have two very young children. Perhaps the other cards are going to be from them to me? But if that is the case - isn't "BE MINE" a little inappropriate for a young baby?
If they were for 'other women', would he really be stupid enough to leave them in his bag in the livingroom? We have a toddler who could easily get into it.
What would you think if you saw these in your husband's bag? Would you confront or wait until Valentines Day?

I am also 
at the thought that 'BE MINE' is quite an appropriately toddlerish sentiment. Perhaps more commonly applied to toys or foodstuffs than mothers, though.
Awwwwww 
Two days ago (yes early, I know) I received a Valentines present from two young giggling relatives a secret admirer.
Every year I receive a card from my mum a secret admirer.
Every year you will now receive cards from the children your many secret admirers
Erm ok, they were off the kids 
I should really should start to trust my husband - and his shitty choice of cards

Relating to the message being inappropriate...
When me and DH first got together, Valentines was when we had been dating 2 weeks. I carefully purchased a card that made no mention of love, slush, forever, anything like that. Took me ages.
Opened a card from DH with "I love you" emblazoned across the front and a box of Black Magic 
He will not have thought about the message, would put money on them being off/to the kids
