I think I found a mini vibrator in my car

Obviously name changed.

Context: late 40s, married 20 years, two dcs late teens still at home. Sexless marriage for 5 years. Before that very unsatisfactory. No intimacy.
No communication other than day-to-day running of the home and family.
I've checked out but so has he, long ago.
Basically I gave up trying (aka banging head against a brick wall), spent several years getting quite depressed, then went on antidepressants, hrt and had therapy.
Feel better about life in general and in myself, but still not brave enough to fall it a day on my marriage, for the usual reasons: fear of the unknown, upheaval for dcs, financial implications (not dire but scary all the same).

Today I found what I think is a mini vibrator in the compartment on the inside of the driver's door of our shared car. The dcs don't drive. Dh and I are the only ones who could have put it there and it wasn't me. I have never even seen one but it's metallic, pink, about 4 inches long, looks like a bullet and has an AAA battery. Nothing happens when I press the button but I can't think of anything else it could be.

As it was in the car I assume he's been using prostitutes.

So, how do I handle this?

My plan is to try a new battery tomorrow to confirm what it is.

Then check bank account for cash withdrawals.

Advice?

Same here!

Hahaha! Brilliant expression! I'm using that one, Thanks.

Butt plug?

By the description, it's too cylindrical for that...Butt plugs can get ''Lost'' in the lower bowel as they tend to 'travel'...They need a flared end to prevent this risk.
Vaginas are ''Cul de sacs''
Rectums are winding country roads.

Oh… I thought they would have a string or something attached to them.

Why are you still in a marriage like this

Passthecheeseboard · 30/11/2022 01:21

I’m surprised you touched the vibrator 😱

I mean it’s a suspicious thing to find … it’s a long shot… but is it possible your husband has been using this secretly on himself? Like sticking it up his butt or something? 😳

Is there any other signs he might be having an affair? Do you have a passcode to his phone so you can check to see if he’s messaging /calling any other woman frequently? Check bank statements too. I think you need to investigate and find more ‘proof’ to know for certain what’s going on?

Passthecheeseboard · 30/11/2022 01:26

Also I have a friend who funded her time at uni by selling her knickers, used sex toys, nudes and content that sort of thing… Is it possible your husband might be into that? Maybe he’s bought it from some random off the internet?…

I would do some further investigation if I were you and then ask him where it came from…

MrsSmith1993 · 30/11/2022 01:29

This thread has made for some interesting reading whilst being kept awake by my 2 week old 😂

I think if it is DH’s he is using it on himself. As somebody posted earlier, the car is usually a place for a quickie rather than pleasuring someone with a vibrator (not that this is my area of expertise lol!). And if he is having an affair, doing it in your shared car and leaving evidence is incredibly stupid!

Regardless, I would have a chat with him and see whether you both want to work on the marriage or not. You could have got into a cycle where neither wants to initiate sex out of fear of rejection so it just never happens.

BobbyBobbyBobby · 30/11/2022 01:50

Why be so uptight about the possibility of him finding some kind of sexual relief either by himself or with a woman or even a man, whether it be an affair or a paid for service, when you’ve admitted you are living together for the sake of the children and have no physical relationship?

Go out and buy your vibrator and put a smile on your own face and that might make you less frigid and cold towards him.

ExperiencedWoman · 30/11/2022 02:24

Ok. there is a very GOOD chance it could be a prostitute. I'm not joking. from experience, DO NOT rule that possibility out. good for the original poster for thinking of things like this and being on her toes about it.

I definitely would be getting answers from him. first, I'd check his email, phone and bank statements while he sleeps. Gather all of the information you need and all the information you can find.

Then I'd ask him what the pink thing is that you found in the car door.

From the description of it, that is indeed a vibrator.

My husband and I will be divorced in two weeks. he bought prostitutes, had sex with transexuals and men and fat Mexican women too. He was the type of person to put on a mask. I believed he was such a great guy. I never thought he'd actually be bisexual and purchasing prostitutes. looking back, there were signs I guess. very small signs.

anyhow, go with your instincts and just do what you can to find the TRUTH. in the end, the truth is what matters and the truth will serve you best.

good luck.

BobbyBobbyBobby - you must be sick and deranged. youre obviously lacking any sense and morality. good God. I pray no one married you. if they do, damn they're a fool.

GLADragss · 30/11/2022 02:29

Why do people want op to post pictures? A sex toy is a sex toy, she doesn’t need outsiders to confirm it is a sex toy. Most people know what a bullet is. She doesn’t need to post “proof” for troll hunters

men don't use vibrators on prostitutes, it's not really about the prostitutes pleasure is it

They do. Sex worker puts a condom on it every time.

oioimatey · 30/11/2022 05:08

Is it his to use on himself? I know men who use bullets; they feel amazing to men, too. And they're cheap!

memorial · 30/11/2022 06:02

So you don't seem to love or care for him. You don't have sex or even speak. You don't want him but you don't want anyone else to? All sounds very sad. Poor man.

im interested in this with the cost of living crisis…. How?

sorry to be thick but can someone please explain how a vibrator means an affair

It's traditionally a sex toy for women. And I imagine that most men who indulge in sex toys for their own pleasure will go for something other than a tiny pink bullet. I would imagine something sturdier. And a flared base, for the obvious reasons

Frenulumetta · 30/11/2022 08:03

What is a flared base I don't get it?

That is why I am confused... ditto on the "flared base"

I swear this thread throws up more questions than answers...

So it doesn’t get sucked up into the abyss of your bum bum

It's a design feature that saves you an embarrassing trip to the emergency room

Tessabelle74 · 30/11/2022 08:07

Christ, why are you even bothered? You don't have sex, you don't communicate, you're only there for the money so let him do whatever he likes. You do whatever you like and keep on living this sham of a life. Be aware though, your kids are not idiots, they know you don't have a real marriage so think about the example you're setting! You're not a martyr, you CHOOSE to live this way so shut up and put up or leave!

Most people know what a sex toy is but not op… apparently

Alternatively, you could shut up? No requisite for you to abuse posters wanting to talk, or even to follow any thread.
