Mystery earrings

Not sure where else to get advice for this.

DP works away sometimes, we've not had trust issues before and I'm usually happy to wave him off. He was in a hotel for two night midweek this week and nothing out of the ordinary behaviour wise prior to that.

Was going through some of his packing to tidy up/sort laundry - not snooping I have to add, I've never felt he might be doing anything behind my back, but in his wash bag I found a pair of earrings that aren't mine. They are not a gift because I don't have pierced ears.

Since his return he's been affectionate and normal if a bit glued to his phone, but he does a lot of work on it so again not out of the ordinary.

I feel really confused, I've never had a reason not to trust him but I can't shake the sight of those earrings. Returned them to bag but took a pic on my phone. What do I do?

Oh! Right Blush got it!

OP don't think of yourself as grumpy miserable Catherine, you still very young at 32 and sound like a funny lady!

Two of the three women who were having an affair with the husbands were Russian women.

So? I know three white friends who have been cheated on by their partners with white women. So should I tar all white women with the same brush? Confused

But Henry was desperate for a son.

He saw Anne Boleyn's failure to give him a son as a betrayal.

And as it happens, we now know that it's the sperm that determines the sex of the child. So if Henry wanted to blame anyone for his failings, he should have looked to himself.

It's kind of apt really.

Although the subject of this thread is heartbreaking, the fact that it has now turned into a lesson in Tudor twattery is really rather funny.

I have had three friends who have "lost" their husbands to another woman. Two of the three women who were having an affair with the husbands were Russian women. That is quite a high percentage. Neither of the two Russian relationships lasted. The third (non Russian) is still in the relationship.

66.6666% (recurring) to be precise. The percentage is reasonably high. However your sample size is WAAAY too small for your findings to have any statistical significance Blush

Yes. the thread is sad in parts. But I'm also enjoying the Tudor Twattery and hope it's making the OP smile a little.

Wasn't it the OP who first came up with Anne Boleynski? Grin

MarilynMonsoon · 25/06/2017 14:06

Henry believed Anne would give him a son, hence my comment. I'm not Catherine of Aragon and have no desire to cling on proclaiming myself 'his true wife'

I'm much more an Anne of Cleves, I have a big nose and will bow out graciously and weather the storm.

You're ace, OP 😘

MarilynMonsoon · 25/06/2017 14:09

Someone said Anne bolenyski in response to that and the fact she's Russian and I found it pithy , its not an attack on Russian women, if anything the fact that she's Russian and beautiful was something I felt I couldn't compete against, not something I wanted to degrade her for. I feel for her actually the more he spouts his self-serving nonsense

What did his mother say op? I hope she wasn't defending him?!

Shockers · 25/06/2017 14:12

What did she say?

putdownyourphone · 25/06/2017 14:12

I hope his cock falls off

MarilynMonsoon · 25/06/2017 14:12

Obviously she's had his version first and berated me for being selfish and not giving him the freedom to have children, I told her I had unselfishly cut him loose to find baby making happiness with the office manager he'd been having an affair with and offered to forward her some of the abusive texts he's sent me.

O boy what did his mother say?

MyOtherProfile · 25/06/2017 14:14

Oops x post. Did she not know about his fling?

Gemini69 · 25/06/2017 14:14

MarilynMonsoon · 25/06/2017 14:14

She hung up

OP posts:
SchnitzelVonKrumm · 25/06/2017 14:15

What on earth was his version? No mention of the affair?

mermaidsandunicorns · 25/06/2017 14:16

Omg that's awful OP

He's a right chip off the block isn't he

MarilynMonsoon · 25/06/2017 14:17

Oh, and 'don't think you can keep him out of his own house' when I said we rent jointly and it's as much my flat as his she went quiet
