Have I just found bits of a condom box?

Ok long story short. H has cheated in the past. There’s no trust. He’s away and I think I may have found part of a condominium box but can’t tell! We don’t use conforms and all that were in the house were removed years ago. I found it on the bed where he was packing his suitcase.
Purple cardboard....
Looks like it would come from a durex XL size box, I had a quick look online at pictures.
Anyone got a box I could compare with? Or I’ll pop in to town tomorrow but it’s driving me nuts!

Has it got any writing on it?

RebootYourEngine · 18/02/2019 22:30

Have you got a picture of the piece that you found?

helpmeoutout · 18/02/2019 22:31

Sounds like you dont trust him regardless. Why are you still with him? Itll drive you crazy trying to guess where this packet has come from

DBML · 18/02/2019 22:32

It would help us to see the piece. It could be a piece of Cadbury fingers box for all we know :)
Does he like Cadbury’s fingers?

magoria · 18/02/2019 22:32

Why not have a search on line for the brand you think it is?

DpWm · 18/02/2019 22:34

Is he an XL?

Bananasarenottheonlyfruit · 18/02/2019 22:43

Alternatively, if it is just a scrap, could it just be an old piece from years ago? I often find odd bits of stuff (not specifically condoms) in suitcases that I haven't used recently. Found a hairclip and a pair of gloves I hadn't seen in months this evening while packing for tomorrow.

I am not saying he isn't cheating, but is there another potential explanation, especially as you don't know for sure that it is a condom box and he didn't exactly try and hide it if it was left on the bed.

RedWineIsFabulous · 18/02/2019 22:48

Could be anything really. Try not to panic ( easier said than done)
I tend to agree with banana

KittensAndCake · 18/02/2019 22:56

Does he like Cadbury’s fingers? 🤣

Have you got a pic, OP?

Adora10 · 18/02/2019 23:05

Sad that you’re with a man you can’t trust so the least thing will set you off regardless if it is or isn’t get rid he’s more than likely never changed

MsDogLady · 19/02/2019 00:25

There’s no trust.

@Pink, your life has been reduced to examining cardboard to find evidence. If you find it, what will change?

halfwitpicker · 19/02/2019 00:27

Talk about drip feed!

You show me yours and I'll show you mine..

Deathgrip · 19/02/2019 00:31

Definitely post a pic; someone will be able to help.

Also, you shouldn’t be with someone who makes you panic about cheating because you find a bit of cardboard. You deserve a better life than this!

Sorry about all the typos!
This is my first time on here....ever!

Apologies about the drip feed, didn’t mean to.

Yep I’m afraid that’s how my life is, I’ve turned into Sherlock Holmes. I hate it and know it’s not at all healthy for me or him.

I worked out it wasn’t from a condom box after all so panic over. But you’re all right look at how I’m living my life......marvellous 🤦🏽‍♀️

To answer the question is he XL, yes.

Thanks Mums

Are you sure you want to stay in a relationship where there is no trust and you are reduced to identifying the origins of a small piece of cardboard and asking strangers on the internet?

Not a criticism of you but this is no life Flowers

Confusedfornow · 19/02/2019 09:15

"Sorry about the drip feed, this is my first time on here ever"

And yet you know about "drip feed" and what it means . . .

Hmm
hoge · 19/02/2019 09:16

I must be stupid because I'm not seeing the drip feed?

toach · 19/02/2019 09:22

I must be stupid too hoge.

Especially as the OP apologised for it.

shpoot · 19/02/2019 09:35

It is possible for someone to read MN for years before ever posting and learn words like "drip feed".

hoge · 19/02/2019 09:38

I mean I don't see where it happened?

I have read the thread and all I can see up until the 'drip feed' comment is replies from other people

CinnabarRed · 19/02/2019 09:41

Me too hoge.

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 19/02/2019 09:51

But why are you with someone who has cheated on you? And then not using condoms with them knowing they could pass something along to you if it happens again You're clearly on edge all the time if you're just looking and waiting for it to happen again. That's not a good way to live your life.

TripeAtFourPence · 19/02/2019 09:54

Agree with PP where is the drip feed??

hoge · 19/02/2019 10:01

@halfwitpicker can you point out the drip feed you see?

OP @Pink99 can you point out the drip feed you apologised for?
