I really can't believe this - am bewildered and shocked at DH

Ok, before I start I am a MN regular and have been since my first DC was born in 2001. I remember the supermarket grapes, the river of sweetcorn, all the thread on breast V bottle and many others, but I have had to change my name for this. You will realise why in a minute.

When I first met my DH he was trying to forge a living out of being an artist. He is fantastic but he soon realised how competitive it is and soon realised he just had to make a hobby out of it rather than a career. He now has a more mainstream job which often requires him to work from home so he has the smallest bedroom as his home office.

The DC's wanted to do some drawing today and I went in his home office to get some printer paper for them to use. While I was in there I opened the wrong drawer and found some of his recent "artwork" and was absolutely shocked at what I found. He had done some pencil sketches of women - normal stuff such as women walking in the rain with umbrellas, women having picnics in the park etc. However he had stuck what looks like ladygarden hair on some of the picture, so part of the umbrella was made out of this as was the womans shoes in the picnic picture. Its definitely not his own as - god I am cringing as I write this - his is red so I strongly suspect he has been rummaging in the bin in the bedroom to get my clippings out. I went to check the bin as I had trimmed my ladygarden on Monday and the trimmings were no longer there. Worse still some of the "decorative pieces" were blonde and I have NEVER had a blonde ladygarden so where on earth is he getting those bits from. I am mortified and disgusted with him. What on earth am I going to say to him?

Laurie - they have always been close and tbh I have never been all that concerned about that, though I have on occasion felt a bit left out as they work together and do seem to have more in common than she and I do. Its just inappropriate. Imagine what you guys would do if a mutual male friend just happenned to say

"Oh I am making a picture with pubic hairs, what colour are yours. Can I have some of them please?"

I would never do this as it could lead to all sorts of accusations and its just something thats "not done" imo.

Not sure why they go in the bin actually. Its just what I have always done as I trim them after my shower so don't think they are dirty I suppose. Never really thought about it but from now in they WILL be going down the toilet.

I think Nab is right. I need to get out of the snooping mindset as it is my house after all. DH is very strange about it being "his" home office but this needs to be sorted out. I just don't know what I am going to say to him

Had to... Hair today gone tomorrow...

TimeForMe · 12/02/2008 15:15

Get a frame and have the picture hanging on the wall when he gets home. That should get the conversation started

Maybe, just maybe, he bleached your trimmings for the umbrella.

UnquietDad · 12/02/2008 15:20

It's a close call which thread today is the most retch-inducing - this, the Paula Yates fisting or the chocolate "herpes" fountain...

strangesituation · 12/02/2008 15:20

Timeforme - not my trimmings as I know from past experience that mine go a hideous orange (like a clown wig) when dyed. Not the pale yellow that these hairs are

He's going through his Pubist period.

expatinscotland · 12/02/2008 15:23

This has been the day for clarty threads .

strangesituation · 12/02/2008 15:25

Don't laugh at me - this is serious , though I would probably laugh too if it wasn't my DH secretly hoarding pubic hair. What on earth went through his head to even consider a picture made from these? What is wrong with a nice watercolour fgs

lmao

TimeForMe · 12/02/2008 15:29

No texture in watercolour.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 12/02/2008 15:29

Or he could always call Rachel Whitepube for an opinion from a peer?

milfAKAmonkeymonkeymoomoo · 12/02/2008 15:31

I'd be getting them DNA tested by a forensics lab - checking the origin and all that

My bet would be dolls hair, maybe he bought a doll and was embarrassed about what he was using it for so didn't tell you?

Teuch · 12/02/2008 15:31

"Pubist period" is genius

Has someone already said "clip, clop, clip, clop"??

expatinscotland · 12/02/2008 15:34

the kylie thready, strange.

it went . . . strange .

Baffy · 12/02/2008 15:59

I'm guessing you'er worried that he has an inappropriate relationship with someone if he is able to get blonde pubes from somewhere.

So you only choice is to say this evening...

"darling, I went into your office today to get some paper for dc's to draw on, and when I opened a drawer I found this picture, it's really great, but where did you get the pubes from?!!!"

he'll either have a reasonable explanation or fly off the handle. then you'll know.

it's not snooping. you were getting paper for your dc. in your home.

TimeForMe · 12/02/2008 16:04

Baffy!! YOU have blonde hair! Have you been making any contributions lately......

Baffy · 12/02/2008 16:06

TimeForMe · 12/02/2008 16:07

Thank you
Costs me a fortune though!

(sorry for hijack)

OP - make sure you let us know what he says

strangesituation · 12/02/2008 16:28

Just got back from the park with DC's

I knew someone at sometime would start with the troll stuff "clip clop clip clop"

I am genuine but there is no way I would ever reveal my "usual" MN name - this is far too unusual and weird to put myself out there like that.

I am going to follow Baffy's advice just to come out with it and ask him. I wasn't snooping and I think I have a right to know what is going on. Am scared I may not like the answer though
