Blue tablets in dps wash bag

62 replies

organicapricot · 22/06/2018 00:13

So , just got home from night out with friend so wine involved. DPs wash bag out from night away with work. As I was putting it away found some blue tablets in there called sildenafil which I googled and found they are sold as the brand name viagra. 3.5 of tablets are missing from packet. I've called dp twice and no answer. Then text to say I want to talk about what I've just found in his wash bag. No response yet. Should I be worried? No history of ED although we are having problems TTC as to not drip feed. I am v angry.

Has he been working away and staying away overnight?

bramblina · 22/06/2018 00:15

Do you suspect he has cheated? Or is just hiding a secret?

Itscurtainsforyou · 22/06/2018 00:16

Are they prescribed? Sildenafil is also given for things like pulmonary hypertension (what they were actually created to treat!), so it could be he has other medical issues that he's not discussed with you...

It's a generic form of Viagra.

Orangecake123 · 22/06/2018 00:22

*but also used for other conditions.

mumontherunnn · 22/06/2018 00:23

Is he due Home tonight? Try not to jump to conclusions, guys have all kind of weird problems crop up when having try issues. My friends and I have all seen it either they can't or cant finish. It's the pressure.

I truly hope that is all it is. However trust your gut and maybe do the usual detective work, you just never bloody know.

Fingers crossed op Thanks

organicapricot · 22/06/2018 00:23

Yes, he has to stay overnight quite a bit with work ie once a week at least. I have never had any suspicions of cheating. I Guess I'm just more upset that if TTC problems have been bothering him that much that he hasn't spoken to me

*ttc FY autocorrect!

ijustwannadance · 22/06/2018 00:24

You should've waited til he got home. Now you've given him time to make up some bullshit story.

Men without ED use them to stay hard longer. Must be trying to impress someone.

MikeUniformMike · 22/06/2018 00:31

Might they have been in there from years ago?
Might there be a completely honest explanation?
Might he be struggling with the TTC?
It's probably best to sort it out before TTC again and it could be that the TTC might be a bit um not spontaneous.

Single men, I think, have them for recreation than procreation.

MVLipwig · 22/06/2018 00:42

I don’t understand why people are assuming he’s cheating? If he can dtd ok with OP, presumably can cheat without the aid of tablets. I reckon he has a bit of performance anxiety because of ttc, and while he should have discussed this you can understand why not

Picklepickle123 · 22/06/2018 00:45

I don't understand why you're angry?

PyongyangKipperbang · 22/06/2018 00:50

MVLipwig

All of which would be fine, except they werent hidden under his socks in his bedside drawer but in a wash bag he only uses when he is away with work................. Of course he is using them with someone other than the OP. The only question is what excuse will he use? I am thinking it will probaby be that he is keeping them for a friend or they were given to him as a joke.

Monty27 · 22/06/2018 00:51

You don't understand why op is angry pickle? Really? Think deceit and dishonesty. Hmm
OP I hope it's nothing weird. Flowers

PyongyangKipperbang · 22/06/2018 00:53

I don't understand why you're angry?

Husband who does not have erectile dysfunction as far as his wife is aware, has viagra (used for increasing performance as well as treating ED) in the bag he only uses when he is away for work and you cant understand why she is angry. Are you for real or just really fucking thick?!

MikeUniformMike · 22/06/2018 00:58

I'm showing my ignorance probably but do men use them when they are alone?

SneakyGremlins · 22/06/2018 01:00

Mike not in my experience - it's usually easy to maintain an erection for solo masturbation.

MVLipwig · 22/06/2018 01:05

That’ll teach me for not reading properly. Sorry OP. I hope you get an explanation soon

MikeUniformMike · 22/06/2018 01:06

I feel a bit embarrassed now. I am also a bit clueless about why young men think they need to keep it up all night, as it were. Wouldn't a crap lover grinding away for hours be dreadful. Am I weird for sometimes being glad it's over quite quickly?

BitOfFun · 22/06/2018 01:07

I think I'd assume he was struggling with the whole TTC thing, as I can't see why he'd need them if he was cheating in a novel and exciting situation. Still, you'll only know if you talk to him face to face. I wouldn't go in all guns blazing. I hope you sort it out between you.

MikeUniformMike · 22/06/2018 01:08

Back to the case in point, viagra is great for ED according to a friend but there are things you are embarrassed to ask people IRL.
I hope OP is ok.

dirtybadger · 22/06/2018 01:11

Some men use them alone.
However, if he doesnt need them with someone, then its very unlikely he would need to use one alone.

I was also going to suggest performance anxiety but I cant think of an explanation as to why they would be in his travel bag thing....
I think there is a decent chance he will give his guilt away (if he has it) in his reaction. But he has now had some time to produce an explanation...

They are rarely used for hypertension.

Sad

Am I weird for sometimes being glad it's over quite quickly?

Not at all weird. Sometimes you just want a quick one! I remember when I was much younger (mainly my 20's) that men seemed to see it as a badge of honour if they could keep going for ages. That and how many times they could have sex in one night. I think porn has a lot to answer for. Took me a few years to realise it was ok to tell them to pack it in.

Wouldn't a crap lover grinding away for hours be dreadful.

It is.

Raven88 · 22/06/2018 01:14

Maybe he seen the advertisement in boots because they are now OTC and wanted to try one as an experiment?

MikeUniformMike · 22/06/2018 01:15

Twatty tabloid journalists who quote me can rest assured that I do not read them. As for any 'lazy journalist' - you know the ones who write about 'me, me me', well you can sod right off.
