So confused today I noticed my DH filthy work fleece so popped it in the wash like a good little wife. When the washing machine had finished I pulled it out and discovered a pair of red woman's knickers.
On closer inspection they are from H&M and swimwear.

I text DH asking if he had anything to tell me. He was confused so I sent him a photo of the knickers.

His reply
Found what where?
'I have no idea what's in or on my fleece cos it's been in the van for months in shit. Don't imagine it's got women's knickers or lipstick in it, certainly don't think it smells of perfume, and there's no way there's a receipt for a whorehouse or condoms in there, so don't know what you've found'

After I sent the photo he replied:

'Can't see the picture good, but if they've got a little metal badge on the back that says HOM they were a pair of trunks I've had for years. No idea how they got there cos they were in the boxes in the dining room.'

Now they are swim wear but most certainly woman's and I've never know him to wear swimming trunks ever!
He seems genuinely surprised and not at all worried that he might have been caught out about something.

I just want the truth. Our marriage has been through a lot over the last year I lost our DC in pregancy and can't seem to get pregant again.
I could understand an indiscretion but I need him to be honest.
On the other hand I have no reason to suspect anything but I feel naive for believing him.

I need some advice am I being OTT? Unfair?

He now busy with work so I have to wait till tonight to speak to him.

calamity I was thinking the same it's all too wacky.
But the size 14 tag well he loves curves. If it said a size 8 I would be certain of no affair.
Also when we first got together we spent a lot of time at nice hotel pools amd spas so that bit does ring true.
But there is no one in his life. He spends all his time at work with other men.

Yes, go look in the boxes in the dining room! (Is this where he stores all his years old swimwear!?!) Grin

Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:17

heysoule he's now say they aren't the same but just shrugging it off like must have had 2 pairs of really red camp pants in my fit days....

Looking at the small guset well how can I put this....there would be nowhere to put his balls. and these pants have been used.

I tried putting a photo on with my iPad but couldn't work it out.

pantone no living children or pets. That's whynim so confused to how they could have got there. We were looking in them recently but surely we would have noticed siren red pants stuck to him?!

Perhaps he simply likes to wear women's underwear from time to time. He would be far from unique and still be heterosexual.

Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:19

mixxy it's a very sore point with us it's where he stores all the crap he hordes.
Amougst them are a massive pair of wedge high leather knee high boots he bought for fancy dress 20 years ago. I'm not allowed to throw them out because they were expensive and he intends to sell them on eBay one day. 5 years on I'm still waiting.

OP posts:
Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:20

sussex he did ask if I was accusing him of being a cross dresser.
I would be absolutely fine if he were, I'm pretty opened minded in that manner it wouldn't change anything for me. Amd he knows this.

OP posts:
LadyMilfordHaven · 26/07/2013 13:24

HOLD ON! he has thigh high leather boots? and you dont think thats a little odd?

WhiteBirdBlueSky · 26/07/2013 13:27

Hmmm, the plot thickens.

HeySoulSister · 26/07/2013 13:29

nowhere to put his balls?? I want to laugh but have a feeling there is going to be more to this

MaggieMaggieMaggieMcGill · 26/07/2013 13:29

Thigh high boots and ladies underpants...
I don't think affair but I do think he may have a propensity to cross dressing, which is something I love in a man.
Time for a chat mebbee?

Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:31

lady I know it in light of woman's knickers maybe I'm asking the wrong questions.
BUT the story checks out and they were under a huge pill of junk until recently. My DH is a genuine horder we have all sorts he refuses to throw away.

Ok texts just got odder he's saying he glad he got rid of his sex toys before he met me.

WTF has this got to do with anything?!

I mean I know he and his Ex wife were a bit more kinky but what's that got to do with knickers.

Confused I feel like I've opened a can of worms!

Have you read coco's post OP? Would he have been a 34 waist back then?

Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:34

hey I'm serious I can't see how he could genuinely fit in the pants not just his manhood but his waist line too.

If he is a secret cross dresser the only thing I'm bothered about is that it's secret.

OP posts:
WhiteBirdBlueSky · 26/07/2013 13:34

Maybe he cross dressed with his ex?

Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:38

Just see coco post Mmm way back in the day maybe but not now. When we first married 5 years ago he was a 36. But now I would say he's about a 40-42. I'm not sure he buys his own clothes.

He has always been great about going shopping with women for clothes he knows what looks good, to the point even after we were engaged he would go shopping with his ex wife because he knew what looked good on her.

So I suppose my question tonight is not are you having an affair but are you a cross dresses?

OP posts:
Mixxy · 26/07/2013 13:38

Sounds a bit more Eddie Izzard than Bill Clinton.

How would than make you feel?

Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:40

whitebird NEVER his ex sent a rather gleeful text when out baby died she became very bitter after we married. That said she had multiple affair when married and after she left DH was seeing 5 different guys!

If he ever saw her again after those disgusting texts I'd kick him out and divorce him immediately.

OP posts:
Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:41

mixxy I would be totally cool with him being a cross dresser. Surprised and dissapointed he couldn't tell me mostly.

OP posts:
Twinklestein · 26/07/2013 13:44

Could he have kept his ex-wife's bikini bottoms?

Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:46

twinkle no she is very obese.

My DH hasn't had many sexual partners either and I was the first after his ex wife.

Does anyone have any experience with cross dressers? Should I tackle him on it or let him keep it to himself?

OP posts:
WhirlyByrd · 26/07/2013 13:46

If he shares a work van, could his workmate have stuck them in there as a joke?

WhiteBirdBlueSky · 26/07/2013 13:47

Noooooo, I meant back in the day. Maybe they're part of his old repertoire of sex toys that didn't get thrown away.

Reallyrednicks · 26/07/2013 13:50

whitebird ah right maybe he crossed dressed back then, could be.

whirly no I doubt he would do this for a joke he's an older mature guy and knows what we have been through lately I don't think he would try and cause trouble even for fun.
I did wonder if he had a woman in the van and now too embarresed to admit it.

OP posts:
LadyMilfordHaven · 26/07/2013 13:54

lol at shopping with ex wife

and you never thought that weird either?

LadyMilfordHaven · 26/07/2013 13:55

plus boggling at having a repertoire of sex toys
