Guess what I found in between the sofa cushions last night?

Last night I saw something poking out between the sofa cushions. I thought it was a KitKat wrapper. I pulled it out and it turned out to be a condom wrapper!!! WTAF!!!

My husband (pains me to write that word) and me are getting divorced, he is moving out in 2 weeks time, but JEZUS would it have pained him greatly to:

  • wait until he had moved out
  • not do it in the family home
  • TIDY UP HIS SHIT

I was feeling quite benevolent for the last few weeks, even offered to help him move, what a fucking saint am I? Or a complete idiot. One or the other.

I did go up and ask him but he didn't want to tell me what the story was with the wrapper.

This morning I said that I found it quite disrespectful to do it in the family home, on MY sofa (I will never be able to look at sofa again, it's gotta go) and LEAVE THE WRAPPER. I am actually most upset about the last bit. I could have been blisfully unaware. He took no responsibility or apologised, he just said I was jumping to conclusions, haha, yeah, not many other conclusions one can jump to if you find a discarded condom wrapper I would say.

Anyway. Just needed a vent. He's moving out in TWO WEEKS and then we are SHOT of him. Apart from the small matter of parenting 2 children.

Christ what an absolute knob.

Better a wrapper than a splodge mark!

HollowTalk · 19/10/2021 11:56

What a bastard. I would think she has a partner as otherwise wouldn't he have gone there?

custardbear · 19/10/2021 11:58

You're clearly better off with him out of your life ... in case you'd previously had any doubts
Onwards and upwards for you

ponkydonkey · 19/10/2021 11:58

Maybe he didn't do the deed but left it there to see your reaction?
Make you jealous type thing

Queenie6655 · 19/10/2021 11:59

Oh dirty bastard

Well rid

Sorry you had to go through this

Bypassed21 · 19/10/2021 12:03

I don't suppose you have teenagers and could of been them??

From your post I'm guessing not and I'm with you what a Kn*b you will feel so much better when he leaves.

I had to endue my exH speaking to his new flame on the phone late at night while we divorced. Talking about wanting to see her naked - he also received tablets through the post called "testosto-ram" or something like that anyway. I Googled them and they are designed to ... erm enhance performance.....Biscuit This was all while we were trying to sell the house and I thought that was bad enough. If I'd found an empty condom wrapper I think I would of totally lost it!!

AryaStarkWolf · 19/10/2021 12:06

Ew get yourself a new couch the minute he's out the door

Winniemarysarah · 19/10/2021 12:10

Do you think he’s actually done that though? I’d assume a posh wank, or as pp suggested he could have placed that there to upset you. He’d have to have some front to actually bring a woman back and shag her in the family home

Tiger2018 · 19/10/2021 12:58

I agree with posters saying he might of done it to get a reaction (knobbish behaviour!) my ex left unused ones in the living room right out in the open where the kids could of seen them - yuk yuk yuk. I picked them up, threw them at him and said to not ever do that again - It didn't get the reaction he wanted - me realising I was throwing our marriage away, we need to make it work blah blah blah.

Its nearly over OP. Once he's gone, new sofa shopping ;)

junglejane66 · 19/10/2021 13:07

Or maybe a posh wank?

JellyTotCat · 19/10/2021 13:13

Yes he could have left it there to goad you

Timeflyin · 19/10/2021 13:34

Was thinking of the same thing…

PigletJohn · 19/10/2021 13:58

@junglejane66

no such thing

that's just a story some people have been told.

pastabest · 19/10/2021 14:15

More likely the wrapper has fallen out of his back pocket and then gone down the side of the sofa surely?

I mean, he's still having his end away with someone somewhere but it takes a vile kind of human to do it on the family sofa.

Soupseason · 19/10/2021 14:19

If he's moving out in 2 weeks I'm guessing you are already separated?. Most likely it came out of his pocket. Good that he's having safe sex.

JingsMahBucket · 19/10/2021 14:22

What the hell is a posh wank?

Bluntness100 · 19/10/2021 14:24

@HollowTalk

What a bastard. I would think she has a partner as otherwise wouldn't he have gone there?
What? Why can’t she come to his house if the op isn’t there?
PigletJohn · 19/10/2021 14:24

@JingsMahBucket

What the hell is a posh wank?
"Darling, what's this used condom doing under the sofa?"

"Oh, um, er, I, er, used it on my own. No woman involved. Definitely not. Just me on my own. I just love the sensation and the rubbery smell."

Ugzbugz · 19/10/2021 14:42

Could he have planted it just to be a knob?

Jesskir89 · 19/10/2021 14:52

@Bluntness100 theyre still married and living together, very disrespectful in my opinion I would not be happy at all

mm40 · 19/10/2021 14:52

Anybody who suggests that ‘posh wanks’ don’t exist need to wake up - they do exist and happen fairly often.

BoxOfDreams · 19/10/2021 14:58

Men generally dislike using condoms, so why anyone believes they would pop one on to have a wank is laughable.

TheQueef · 19/10/2021 15:06

@JingsMahBucket

What the hell is a posh wank?
A well peddled myth. Supposedly the barrier of the condom makes it feel like someone else is wanking you. Newsflash.... socks will do the same job, are already available and just go in the wash so no one is wasting of faffing with condoms. Unless to prevent pregnancy which obvs requires a female. Source= adult DS 's.

Sounds like you're well shot Dildals
Disrespectful bellend.

That is definitely true!

He is still living here though! Could he not have waited two weeks/not do it in the family home/not do it on my sofa?

I doubt it just came out of his pocket ... it was an opened wrapper ...

But yes, I am of course, thrilled he is practicing safe sex. I wouldn't want to wish my soon to be exH an STD ... Hmm
