Hmmm.

[Miri2007]

Have been with boyfriend for coming up two years. He's recently been staying at mine more often with a view to moving in later this summer. Everything is going well...

He's always had a couple of condoms in his wash bag, they actually went out of date not long after we got together. I went into his wash bag this morning (to borrow some cream for a cut) and noticed the condoms had been replaced. New ones go out of date this month (June 16). I can understand throwing the old ones away. Bit miffed at the replacement.

I'm on the coil. We haven't used condoms since we both had an sti check at the beginning of the relationship.

I will ask him about it. This morning he was still asleep and I was late for work. He's back at mine Wednesday night. I wanted to canvas opinion before i raise it. Before him I was in an EA relationship and made many a bad judgement call so don't trust myself not to fall for bullshit!

What would you think?

How stretchy are condoms or how tiny are his feet?

I've been lied too lately, a lot. No fluster, nothing. Still fucking lied.

If he was going to go to the trouble to invent a story why not just keep them somewhere i wouldnt look?

Like where? Surely you carry condoms around with you in case an opportunity comes up?

OP, I'm not saying this to make you feel worse. You sound lovely. I hope he isn't lying to you because you really don't deserve that.

All the best.

Yeah yeah!!

There's a video going round that's supposed to disprove the notion that some men are "too big" for standard condoms and need the super sized ones. It shows a man putting a standard condom on his foot, without it breaking or anything. So yes, they are that stretchy.

I'd be inclined to believe him OP, and I usually tend towards the distrustful side. Like you say he didn't panic or stress, and it's a pretty well thought out reason to come up with on the spot. I'd probably keep a bit of a closer eye on him for a while but it's not an LTB from me.

They are also excellent for protecting mobile phones when hiking in the rain ...

I've also heard of people using them for covering dressings and wounds on the foot when going in water. So, if there was no previous reason to doubt him, I would believe him.

He has lied to you in the past, though, so I would keep my doubters hat on for a bit longer.

I had an ex in a similar situation. He asked me to get something out of a drawer. I found a box of condoms empty, when there should have been at least half a pack left.
He had a plausible explanation, seemed genuine at the time. I believed him. We carried on.
Turns out he sent me to look for this thing so I would see the empty box, question him and he could give me his bullshit excuse without feeling caught off guard and give away that he was lying.
Stupidly boasted about having the perfect cover up to his best friend (who I had actually been friends with longer, and preferred me as a friend) who then of course told me straight away.

I hope, for your sake, he is telling the truth, though

Bloody hell Pineapple, that's calculating.

I was married to a deep sea diver. I have never once heard this infected feet condom rubbish before. And it's the sort of anecdote he would love too.

Methinks he's telling you porkies.

He was online dating behind your back for the first year you were together?

You are never going to know the truth about the condoms.

My ex was a lying cheat. Every one of the lies was kind of believable on its own, even if outlandish. My favourite being the time he was circling near KFC waiting for a parking space, and that's why he got a kerb crawling warning letter from the police. He did like KFC.

The thing is, you get a pattern. If this was the only thing, I'd say "weird but could be true".

But you KNOW he's a cheat. You should dump him for the online cheating you already discovered - he's just not worth the foot condom head fuck.

Btw, I never take someone being calm and polite as reassurance. The worst men are the practised liars who are confident and don't give a shit - and they can be very convincing.

Oh and though I can see you might believe he wears them on his feet, what utter bollocks about replacing the out of date ones because the packet was battered. What does that matter? What, a slight bumped edge on a cardboard pack is going to compromise the foil pack inside?
I've got a packet of 3 in my car that get knocked about all over the place. They look fine.

Haha

Brilliant.

Does anyone else now really want up go put a condom on their foot to see how it feels?

Note to self: explain wrapper in bin to boyfriend before he worries.

No. Because that would make me a pillock.

OP.... Honestly?

I have known people that can lie convincingly when the truth is as good. Totally unflustered. I have known people who can continue an unflustered lie in the face of evidence of the truth.

Come on. Dating sites vs. condoms on feet. Which do you really believe.

Posh toe wank? Seriously....

If he's that good a liar, you really need to beware.

I've honestly heard it all now, condoms for sore feet, pmsl here.

Listen, I can believe people do all kinds of weird stuff, but if you've been in a relationship with him for any length of time, it's odd you haven't seen him do it or it not be mentioned before. Apart from any other problems with the story!

Maybe he's hoping for anal?! We have loads left from before dh's vasectomy, the above is the only reason we might probably won't ever need them!

Hahahahahahaaha

Nope

You know what would kill it for me (aside from the cheating and the outrageous lies)? The image of this man wearing fucking condoms on his feet in the shower. That would just kill my desire stone cold dead.

Oh my God, that is one of the funniest and most unexpected reasons given for carrying condoms I have ever heard. It is so ridiculous I guess it could actually be true?!
Think this is one you might look back on and laugh about in about ten years time OP,for one reason or another...
Wonder what he uses his verucca sock for ...

No i've not seen him use them in this way, however the situation hasnt arisen where he would have needed to.

The other reasons given are reasonable enough (cover bandages / dressings etc). We have hobbies where injuries can happen, we do these in remote places. So reasonable to carry what we need, buying when required wouldnt be an option. Neither of us has had an injury that would have needed to test the waterproofing properties of a condom.

When i caught him out before the reaction / lie looked different from the reaction this time.

If he is lying it still doesnt explain the condoms. They havent been there long. They go out of date this month. He wouldnt risk sleeping with someone using out of date condoms. So why does he have them!
