Found condoms

Been married 5 years and have a one year old. OT works away a lot and found a packet of jokey leprechaun condoms in an overnight bag. He said he bought them for a mate. Not sure what to think. The fact that they're jokey ones means it's totally plausible. I know he fancies a girl in work but she's Muslim and can't see her straying. He's also very shy and it took him years to ask me out.

This is weird. My husband and I are honest with each other, we also talk a lot, but we have never told each other who when/if we fancy someone in real life. It's not necessary.

The closest we've ever got is me knowing that he fancies Alison Roberts and she's a tv presenter who he will never meet in real life.

Sorry for the mangled sentence. I meant we have never told each other when/if we fancy someone

I seriously cannot see a bloke buying a pack of novelty condoms in preparation for having a ONS or anything else. As a PP said, passion killer!

Rella1965 · 16/01/2016 14:28

Well we've known each other since we were kids and now we are in our 40s so we spent many nights talking as friends/ best mates before we got together. It was never really a hearts and flowers type of relationship.

Well if you're okay with each other openly lusting after other people who are more their type , it's not a huge leap to think that you'd be amenable to him taking it a step further.

I was friends with my husband before we got together and I know who he fancied before me, but that was 32 years ago. It's been a non subject since we dated. Not taboo, but we would both find it disrespectful to point out who we thought was attractive in real life, if indeed there was anyone. It gives the issue too much head space, which it doesn't warrant because neither of us would act on it.

The condoms are another problem. I'm trying to imagine my husband buying condoms for anyone else and failing completely.

firesidechat · 16/01/2016 14:52

If he bought them for a mate, how come the mate doesn't have them?

It's obviously a lie, so your question is why did he lie.

hollieberrie · 16/01/2016 15:16

I reckons it a joke - leprechaun condoms, ie for men with tiny cocks, ha ha, (not funny to me but imagine some.guys would think it so). Has he not seen this mate since he got back from Ireland?

Rella1965 · 16/01/2016 15:40

I found them the day after he got back so hasn't had a chance to give them to his mate. I do want to believe him

You say you trust him yet you've posted here & checked through his phone so clearly that isn't the case.
I also don't get why they were in his washbag, if they were a joke for a mate you'd just throw them in your bag surely?

Bambooshoots14 · 16/01/2016 16:13

Why would they be in a washbag? If I bought a gift of something that would usually go in my washbag (ie handcream, perfume etc) I would put it in my mAin luggage

Rella1965 · 16/01/2016 16:28

They were not in a wash bag they were in an overnight bag for a suit. That's just someone else who's said it not me.

Male point of view...

I can totally see a guy coming back from a business trip, going into the office and slinging a packet of 'small willy' condoms at his colleague that he bought in a pub loo as a joke - "here you are mate - I brought you a present!"... Office falls about laughing, etc....

DadOnIce · 16/01/2016 16:31

Is the slogan for leprechaun condoms "To be sure"?

AyeAmarok · 16/01/2016 16:41

Rella1965 · 16/01/2016 17:33

So can I. If a guy was trying to seduce me I think the leprechaun thing would definitely put me off and have me running a mile

So it's all ok then? It sounds like it.

Fratelli · 16/01/2016 19:07

Like this? If a guy whipped these out I think I'd lose all attraction for them!

I mean the face alone may haunt me forever!

BramblePie · 16/01/2016 19:33

Sounds like he bought them in a pub toilet hoping for the best and it never worked out.

Rellax · 16/01/2016 19:56

Yes that sounds plausible

HarmlessChap · 16/01/2016 22:43

No guy I know would buy novelty condoms to use in an extra marital affair. More likely that either he bought them as a prank as he says or someone else is pranking him.

Rellax · 16/01/2016 23:12

It's strange. I'm going to leave this alone now peeps thanks for advice. Most guys say they wouldn't buy a novelty condom to have an affair. Girls seem to be split. Got to go with my gut.

choceclair123 · 18/01/2016 00:21

They're not teeny tiny condoms they are actually real condoms and can be used by regular guys.
