Found tadalafil in boyfriend's draw?

I was looking for paracetamol or ibuprofen in boyfriend's bedside draw for a headache and found a new box of tadalafil one strip missing, other strip in his wash bag, one tablet missing.

Last weekend I thought he was quite 'keen' to have sex. We've not had any bedroom issues to my knowledge. Odd occasion he has been unable to (TMI) 'finish'.

Together 2 years, don't get to see each other more than one or two nights a week due to living an hours drive from each other, his shift work, both having two children from previous relationships. Totally weirded out by it 🤢. I've a feeling the boys from work might have had some influence on this. Can't talk to him about it today, all four kids here?? X

He's money savvy, if he needed it all the time I can guarantee it would be on a £9 prescription not paying online pharmacy £75 a time!

Forgot to say, daily use means he'd be able to be spontaneous, instead of taking it, waiting an hour, and then trying to rekindle the mood.

This was an addendum to my prior post in which I said it's not Viagra (sildenafil) but is instead Cialis (tadalafil), which if taken daily, does allow for a spontaneous reaction. The usage and dosage information specifies from 2.5 up to 10 mg daily, depending on the condition being treated. If the OP's boyfriend has BPH, the dose would be different than for erection issues.

@WTF12345, if you discuss this with him, please be gentle. However, if he's using it to cheat, bump that noise!

Is it him keeping it secret from you that concerns you, or that he has to use it at all? Are you worried he's not a virile as he appears to be, or that you aren't attractive enough for him, or some other reason?

100% doing it behind my back, I'm quite open minded.

Why should he tell you though? It doesn't affect you odes it? It's not like he's taking antibiotics for an STI and not telling you.

He's entitled to privacy.

Why haven't you just asked him? Maybe he got it from an online pharmacy because he's ashamed of going to the GP.
If he was only going to use it once he'd have got one from a friend.

OP in your first post you say you're 'totally weirded out' by it with a vomit face emoji, then you say you're not bothered if he wants to take it. Then you say you're 'fucking pissed off with an angry face emoji - and you're wondering why he hasn't spoken to you about it? Your posts are so contradictory he probably hasn't got a clue how you would react so just doesn't bother. And I don't blame him. You sound unhinged!

Bellyfullofbiscuits · 21/01/2020 08:40

I think those varied reactions are because he hasn't spoken to her and explained why. She is thinking of all possibilities, from him not being able to talk to her , to affairs ,I should imagine ?

Fivetillmidnight · 21/01/2020 09:06

Have you never had a personal problem (medical-wise) that you would like to keep private ?

If he wants to tell you he will. Until that point, give the man a little privacy. The most recent research says that up to 50% of men suffer from some form of ED over the age of 40. Be that a one off or more frequently. Unlike women , men don't usually want to 'share' this stuff with anyone, be that wife/girlfriend, mates or GP.. ..

The anonymous internet to fix a problem that they find embarrassing, (even shameful and 'unmanly') will always be the FIRST choice for most men.
