Should I be suspicious?

Do you think I should be suspicious that my OH was trying to take aftershave to an office party without me knowing.?

OH hasn't worn aftershave for many years and the bottle he was going to take was full and at least 10 years old, so this was something quite out of the ordinary.

He'd brought it in from the garage where he had left it while unpacking from our recent house move and 'hid' it in a kitchen cupboard on the night before the office party.

(Un)fortunately my son saw it and asked him whose it was which is why I think he moved it to his bathroom shelf which is when i first saw it again.

When I asked him if he was taking it to the Party he replied "No i brought it in for you" I knew this was a lie but have been unable to get any reasonable answer from him.

Initially he said he had seen it while in the garage and thought he would take it with him - this is very difficult to believe as the bottle is quite small, the garage dark and the shelf it was on at the back of the garage, Then he decided he'd been thinking about his aftershave and decided to take it for no other reason than it seemed like a good idea at the time.

He gets very cross when i try to dig any deeper and refuses to talk about it.

He goes to the same party each year - never to my knowledge taking aftershave. The difference this year a new female colleague has joined an all male office.

Should i be worried or just forget it?

Yeah. It's weird.

I would assume he's met someone who likes a man in aftershave so he's dug out the stale Givenchy. Men that don't use it don't suddenly start without a reason.

I think you’re over reacting & he’s probably hiding something really innocuous because he knows what your reaction would be.

It does look suspicious but I wouldn't question him. First of all he has right to dig his old aftershave. He probably thinks it's like cheese or wine - the older, the better. Secondly, I wouldn't question him to see how he behaves after the party. If you question now he will start being smarter.
