Tissue in dhs work bag

Going to sound very weird. But for before I can remember I’ve always noticed my dh has either a roll or just a thick pile of tissue in his work bag. I go in it to get his lunch box or stick it in after I’ve made our lunches for the day.
Never asked but just wondered why he’d have it in the first place? He works as a driver/delivery/assembler. Anyone else’s do this? And for what reason. And no he doesn’t have toilet problems or anything that I know of.

Df is a builder and always has a roll in his van...toilet roll of course, no other rolling

The fact you’ve posted this in relationships suggests you think he’s not just blowing his nose.
What do you suspect? And more to the point, why don’t you just ask him?

Seriously OP it's a slippery slope. He'll be onto hankies next before you know it.

At least the hankies are a bit more environmentally friendly than the tissues but where is he going to wash them? He can't exactly bring them home to the OP can he?

I think you need to speak to a professional about this. If he's spending family money on tissue or toilet roll and hasn't consulted with you, he clearly has a problem. Do you have a joint account? Put a stop on it now, and be very clear that his habit is out of control and that you won't facilitate it any more.

Fore if he sneezes/ coughs/ blows his nose? I carry tissues for that reason, as I have allergies. Or in case he gets caught short on a long trip. Why not ask him?

I have a whole box of tissues in my car. And about four of the little packs in my laptop bag.

Well, stealth, I wouldn't have thought that about you!

Shocking.

kateandme · 17/01/2020 20:25

You'd be surprised what these perverts do @helberg.

Won't be helping his carbon footprint when he's driving around looking for places that sell hankies at 4am of a Wednesday will it?

Just wait until you find out about the OT. The other tissue.

StealthPolarBear · 17/01/2020 20:27

I have a problem don't i

kateandme · 17/01/2020 20:27

you know why youve posted this though and what your thinking hes doing so...at least its not a random sock eh...

YasssKween · 17/01/2020 20:28

@StealthPolarBear

I have a problem don't i

It's really brave of you to admit it. I've been through similar with a close family member. If you want support then PM me hun x

bobstersmum · 17/01/2020 20:31

Maybe for in case he gets hungry? Tissue is very filling I imagine. Bit bland though.

daisychain01 · 17/01/2020 20:42

OP you need to give your DH full support, its a very difficult thing for him to cope with. At the risk of womansplaining, it's a roll of tissues - he's being ripped off.

marthastew · 17/01/2020 20:55

Whatever he says, a tissue of lies I warrant.

Mrsmummy90 · 17/01/2020 20:57

omg this is just what I needed ahaha

Ejmorgan · 17/01/2020 21:12

Mine always has a toilet roll in the car , never thought it odd

BercowsFlamingoFlownSouth · 17/01/2020 21:12

Grin this is fun!

helberg · 17/01/2020 21:15

But why does he has a toilet roll in the car? I find that very strange.
I'd be concerned it was for some kind of mild BDSM purposes.

peachypetite · 17/01/2020 21:18

Really weird thread

SueGeneris · 17/01/2020 21:28

We made brides out of toilet rolls at a hen weekend once.

Does he enjoy craft?

BingoLittlesUncle · 17/01/2020 21:37

He's a driver - he uses it to wipe his windscreens?

clearingaspaceforthecat · 17/01/2020 21:59

Good luck with confronting him.
Hopefully he'll hold his Andrex up and admit it all.
Just have a stiff drink first to Cushelle the blow.
