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?

Just buy a new one and wrap it up. They’re only a quid in the pounds shop, according to this thread… 🤷‍♀️

TWAWmearse · 30/11/2022 17:28

He’s SO lying!!

People don’t go around putting vibrators under people’s windscreen wipers, and if they did why on earth would your dh put a strange metal object that doesn’t belong to him in your car?? It could’ve been anything! “Thought it’d come in handy”?!! My fecking arse!!

There is so much wrong with your post @Lovemusic33 😂
Clearly you have (I assume) never been in a long marriage, with teenage kids and find the whole process of divorce so overwhelming.

There are many marriages that are sexless but couples hang on in there because the alternative is more scary.

It's so easy to post like you have 'oh get out of this and stop wasting your life'.

That is probably the best thing for the OP to do, and yes, this may be the kick up the bum she needs.

But it's very easy for other people to tell someone to leave when they aren't actually in that relationship, with children.

And also, there are people who have not seen a small vibrator. Many people imagine a vibrator to be a huge pink rubber penis, and unless someone has chosen a sex toy, or browsed online, yes, they might not recognise a mini one.

I have been in a sexless marriage with kids and did go through divorce, I still knew what a vibrator looked like (I have several, having a sexless marriage meant I had to buy one) 😁. Yes it’s not that easy to leave, it took me years but it was the best thing I ever did.

Makes total sense, actually. I think it's a 'thing' at the moment.

I found a used condom and a pastel v-neck jumper in the backseat footwell of my wife's car, and apparently she too found them under the windscreen wiper, when she came out of Morrison's. Just chucked them in the back and forgot about them. It's very easily done.

A used condom?! 🤢 Was it not dripping over the upholstery?

OldFan · 30/11/2022 17:42

A used condom?!

Why would someone bring someone else's used condom into a car? You're being bamboozled even more than OP @WalkingOnTheCracks . Unless you're kidding. Smile

Milton!

😂

I find crisp packets and leaves not a touch of velvet love bullet

@Nancienoo Ah but apparently a vibe can be carried on the wind in the air with the leaves. It could happen to any one of us.

I really have heard it all now you know 🤣can’t cope

I get often get this... If you don't put a gurning face, people will take it as fact!

By the way can i have my jumper back?

LeandraDear · 30/11/2022 18:07

Better than the big of shite that I saw attached to a car in our village yesterday. They are very fussy about where people park - those who have living in the village a long time 😂😂😂😂

LeandraDear · 30/11/2022 18:07

bag of shite

I truly hope you and your vibrator are happy 😊

Or big bag o' shite!

UniversalAunt · 30/11/2022 18:10

Now who hasn’t emptied their handbag/rucksack out on the bonnet of a nearby car while rummaging for car keys/loose change for parking/hankies for snotty kids/last Rollo?

Little pink thing rolls along bonnet…

It was and the funny thing that the woman drove away without noticing it 😂

Yeah, I mean maybe someone has their eye on OP's DH. Similar to leaving a bag of shite to annoy an enemy, I can imagine someone might leave a vibrator (after using it) where a crush could see and pick it up. As someone who was into the occult for many years, this is something someone might do to transmit a love/lust spell to a target.

BedTaker · 30/11/2022 18:30

I am definitely not saying this as a voice of experience, but if the OPs husband was having illicit sex in their car, would a vibrator really be involved? To me, vibrator use between couples is usually to 'spice things up' (such a 90s term!) or as part of something more intimate?

Not a quickie in the car?

Notaboutthebass · 30/11/2022 18:33

So, so far we have lying and cheating dh, (teenage) prankster, clumsy person dropping it out of their bag while looking for something, dildo hailstorm, or dh a target love/lust spell...

What do you think?

Is anyone going to spill the beans on the bango string.

Because I am not Googling it...

Dildo Hailstorm would be a great name for a metal band 🤔

@BedTaker I can see that it might be useful for some women if they were in a hurry.
