I found some knickers that are not mine. Can anyone come up with an explanation ?

OK. H just back from a weekend away with his friends, doing a sporting activity.

I found some women's knickers that are not mine, and not my DC's, openly left out on our bedroom dressing table.

Has anybody any ideas of what could be an appropriate explanation for this ? At the moment, I am struggling to see one. I am asking him about it later when the DC are in bed.

No other signs, or history, of playing away, btw. Just this.

I mean for me to make a drama out of it. I am doing my best not to, with everyone's help.

He's found them when he's been unpacking.

He either thinks they are yours, or he know that one of this mates has stitched him up and didn't want to hid them/bin them in case you found them and got the wrong idea.

If my DH was shagging a woman who wore ( far larger than mine) stained mummykecks on a durty weekend, Id think he'd lost his marbles and I'd probably die of laughter.

"he shared a room (he said when he got back last night) with his mate who is the biggest gobshite in the world who would take great delight in dropping him any shit"

Just a thought, but if this friend would love to drop him in it then your husband would have to be extremely stupid indeed to cheat on you with someone else with him around, and them sharing a room. Surely? It'd be certain to get back to you with that "friend" around.

ABitOfAPuzzle · 06/08/2012 21:31

Sockit, I have to agree. I can't see it, somehow. I know he went with his mates, because I saw them all last night. I can't see him having an unplanned ONS with a woman who left her bleached knickers in his bag, though I know it happens.

Although I am reliably informed on this thread that Sloggis are small-fitting Smile

JUST ASK HIM

GotMyGoat · 06/08/2012 21:34

You could always suggest going to bed....

(put them on.. put them on! see how he reacts!)

This is AMAZING STUFF for a monday night.

ABitOfAPuzzle · 06/08/2012 21:35

You will get an answer tonight, as will I

Sorry to be an annoying poster. I am not going to send dc out of the room though, nor beckon H off somewhere else to have a conversation like this. I want to see his face and watch his reaction with no whispering and no distractions. That's the MN advice, I would have thought.

If they're the same pants that your mother wears... When did she last stay?

renlo · 06/08/2012 21:41

Please don't assume there is anything sinister, I have been on the receiving end of those sortof accusations and theyre not funny. I came home from the shops once and my ex 'confronted' me along with his horrid sister with some random manky boxers that he'd found under the bed whilst hoovering. They'd put two and two together and made a whole of of crazy because the day before I had been in meetings all day at work and hadn't been able to return his calls. They both accused me of shagging a work colleague who 'looked like he probably wore manky boxers from primark' and I was a lying cheating cow blah blah blah. It got nasty, things were thrown and heads were bruised (his not mine). It didn't end well. I still dn't have the foggiest where those boxers came from to this day.

Another time, I had my godson for the weekend. He was 3 at the time and after bathing him and getting him dressed for work, I noticed there were two pairs of women's knickers amongst his clothes. I assumed they were his mum's, so I put them back. When my friend picked him up on the Sunday evening, I showed her knickers, joking about how he has a little young for cross dressing. She wasn't amused in the slightest as they weren't hers! We never did figured out who they belonged to.

Abit ofapuzzle is this a windup? I'm not troll hunting just bemused at your Grin

Idlegirl83 · 06/08/2012 21:42

Am also marking my place :)

WinstonWolf · 06/08/2012 21:42

Not suggesting that your dh is having an illicit affair with your dm btw.

Or that she's a wee dribbler ShockBlush

ABitOfAPuzzle · 06/08/2012 21:42

I was Grin at the idea I would put them on my head. I don't have anything to cry about just yet, if at all.

'bed' not work. I'm not into toddler labour much

QuacksForDoughnuts · 06/08/2012 21:43

I found a pair of women's pants that weren't mine in OH's room before we lived together. Either he or his housemate was too dopey to check they got all/only their own things off the clothes horse, and he assumed the pants were mine until I queried it...

ABitOfAPuzzle · 06/08/2012 21:43

my mother has never stayed at my house, nor me at hers

Lurking to find out the explanation for the slatternly sloggis. Smile

BobbiFleckman · 06/08/2012 21:44

our babysitter once left her knickers on our downstairs loo floor and phoned, mortified, in teh morning to warn us / say they were new so perfectly fine to pick up & chuck! Her reason for knicker changing at our house was that she'd come straight from work (me neither).
So - have you got a cleaner or some other size 12 arsed woman who might get hot and pant-clammy at your house and need freshening up? Size 14 black sloggis are sensible wear for house cleaning or babysitting, not passion.

BobbiFleckman · 06/08/2012 21:45

OR - have you had any friends around who are slatternly enough to have put on the previous day's trousers and they've had knickerloss somewhere in your house?

ABitOfAPuzzle · 06/08/2012 21:45

no cleaner

Show him this thread if he shows any interest in what you're doing on the Internet. I'd love to be a fly on the wall.
