Wearing exs Hoodie

35 replies

LookingForFemaleAdvice · 19/08/2019 19:12

Need some female advice. As my girlfriend came over earlier and she was wearing a Hoodie and I asked her if it was new and she said no she found it and it still smelt like aftershave. She tried to say it was mine and I know it wasn't. Then she admitted it was her exs

She already has 2 of mine at her house that I gave her. I gave her mine today to put on and she didn't put it on she said it was comfortable. I wouldn't wear the bracelet my ex got me

Any advice would be appreciated

It depends whether you trust her she may have lied because she knew you would make something of it.

If she hasnt been with his for at least 2 years why would it be anywhere near the top of any pile of clothes! And why the hell would it still smell of him after all these years.

I get if she had worn it all the time since purley because it was comfy and she washed it all the time etc etc but for it to still smell of him and for her to be wearing it i think is unreasonable.

Well it's either innocent or she's trying to wind you up. If everything else is OK I would say leave it. Or Start wearing something of your exs maybe she won't like that!

You sure she hasn't seen her ex for 2 years? Even the strongest aftershave wouldn't still niff after that length of time.I reckon she's cheating. LTB.

That's really odd. Did you smell the aftershave and ask about it, and then she said it was yours, or did she say she was wearing it because it smelt of aftershave?

I have a particular hoodie of my fiancés that I've half-inched, he doesn't seem to mind most of the time, and it's comfortable and familiar. A part of that is that it reminds me of him, though... But it's not outside the realms of possibility that if she had the same and then they split, she just likes it as a warm, familiar, comfortable hoodie. Some hoodies are just different to others, the length is better or they fit a bit better or they're comfortable.

Do you have any other reasons to be concerned?

I asked her if it was new and where she got it from because it smelt like a guy and she said it was her exs. But she said the aftershave was mine.

I think it's the lie that would get me more than anything. Why lie and say it's yours? Usually when people lie it's for a good reason (unless you got it wrong and it is your hoody and you forgot you owned it?)

Leave her alone, I take it from the question, she’s 12, so she might be upset about her ex boyf and she’s missing him, give her time

I think you caught her in a lie
She was trying think of quick answers to your questions
She failed

I think aftershave after 2 years would smell pretty naff, and surely she would have washed it within those 2 years anyway
(Alternatively, perhaps she uses a very nice washing softener that smells like aftershave!)

Tell her to buy her own!!
