Partner wearing my fishnets

181 replies

Me and my boyfriend have had lots of trust issues over the past four months. Out baby is five months old and in that time lots of lies about his past has come out. Silly things, but it’s broken the trust none the less. He’s gone back to his mums four times and the last time he went he seemed different. Much more angry, much more sure he wanted to leave us.

We spoke, he came back and things seemed to be better. My trust issues were still there but I was trying to keep them under wraps for everyone’s sake and so we could move on.

Last night I found photos of him in his deleted folder, wearing my fishnets, he was bent over, grabbing his private parts and one full frontal of his penis. It was while he was at his mums.

I confronted him and he’s told me he likes the feel of them. It turns him on. He’s not gay and he loves me. He said the photos were to get him off. He said he’s done it for years but not since we’ve been together. He said it’s only started up over the last two months.

I am in shock, I feel sick and in so upset. I do think he loves me. I really do. What is this? Is it my fault because I’ve not been trusting him lately and questioning him daily. Is he Gay? Please help me. I’m not being a good mum to my baby girl, because I’m so heartbroken.

I thought fishnets were a made up thing that can-can dancers wear.

You learn something every day.

I’ve found a code text messsge now for a home std check for London (we don’t live in London, no where near), he’s saying he’s no idea what it is.

Then that’s the end.

forgetting the clothing for a minute.

no one needs an sti check if they have only slept with their partner.

He has lied to you twice now and it seems obvious he has not only cheated with another person but did it unprotected which then presumably as you had a child together means potentially has slept unprotected with you!

no matter how you feel or how much you love him and want it to different your relationship as you saw it doesn’t exist, it’s over and I think you also need an sti check.

sorry this is awful for you.

Needsupportad · 06/04/2024 21:57

He hasn’t cheated. The test kit can only be sent to London addressses. He works from home. We are always together.

He could have ordered it for someone else though.

He’s telling me it’s nothing to do with him. It is isn’t it?

He said maybe someone inputted a wrong digit :(

Of course it is. He's moved out several times - he’s had opportunity to cheat

Needsupportad · 06/04/2024 22:08

Why would he be opening an account to be ordering a std kit for a London address. I do g get it. He’s said he will email them and see if they can confirm it’s not his details.

Leave. It wont get better.

He couldn’t have cheated with someone in london. I really dont think he would cheat on me.

Youre entitled to have whatever dealbreakers you want.

Personally I'd only be pissed he'd stole my fishnets.

Perhaps he's sent it to someone in preparation of a meeting.

It's one hell of a coincidence that he's taking photos of his penis and now 'someone has inputted an incorrect digit' for a test service for STIs.

Waggytail · 06/04/2024 22:23

Ughhh he was stealing your clothes to do this? That would already be it over for me. The fact that he took them without telling you is part of the fetish for sure. I can't see how that bit won't get worse (stealing your underwear for example)

Also you've just had a baby and this is where his mind is at. Indulging himself in niche sex stuff while you're handling a 5 month old all by yourself it seems! I don't know why you would even want this man, he sounds like a complete and utter loser.

So a man who you said you have "trust issues" with due to "lots of LIES coming out about his past", moved out to his mums FOUR times, who you found in his deleted folder last night: "photos of him wearing my fishnets, he was bent over, grabbing his private parts and one full frontal of his penis. It was while he was at his mums"... you don't think he would cheat on you.

OK.

Exactly. He's probably in her underwear now.

Needsupportad · 06/04/2024 22:28

I really really. Don’t think he would cheat. Message. Seems really likely now 😔 baring in mind, before last night I would never have even thought he would have done that. There has been trust issues but not regarding cheating or even infidelity in any way. But I don’t think he’d cheat on me.

RytonTarget · 06/04/2024 22:53

So he has a fetish? Plenty of people do, and plenty of partners tolerate rather than encourage them. It's not a trust issue. He's not been unfaithful as far as we know.

My bigger worry is all the disruption he's causing you in these early days of motherhood. I feel like you'd be better off to tell him to stay at his mum's for now, and let you get on building a relationship and a routine with your baby - these first weeks and months of life are so important. He can come and see the baby of course, and give you time off to rest / shower / go out - but all this mental turmoil he is causing is not good for you.

In time, you might then have space in your head to work out if your relationship is salvageable, or worth saving.

PrimalLass · 06/04/2024 23:09

It's because she's in the early stages of motherhood that he's starting to do this. It's classic troonery.

OP: you need proper advice and support. Please go and find the trans widows threads.

That’s one way of putting it…

I couldn't continue a sexual relationship with someone after that.

Me neither.

You don't want to see what is pretty obvious. He moved out so he had every opportunity to cheat and as he's ordered the kit it sounds like he has cheated and now needs to know if he has a STI. Don't have sex with him. I'd be asking him to leave and not to come back.

Needsupportad · 07/04/2024 00:56

The Sti kit only sends to london
