I found this in my bed.

I found this in my bed. It was under the duvet cover on my side when I got home from work this other day. I'm married. Husband works from home.

I know what I think it is but I just can't believe it.

Could it be something other than a condom wrapper? I've convinced myself it's off something else, some sort of other packet.

Those aren’t made of latex though

Fair point, I didn't see the latex bit.

Sorry OP it's a condom. Now you just have to decide if you believe the Posh Wank Mythos or not.

scoobysnaxx · 21/11/2025 20:04

Yes it’s 100% a red durex condom packet. Sorry op

CalmShaker · 21/11/2025 20:04

I'm 90% sure condom , 10% pot noodle flavouring sachet - does your husband eat in bed?

KidsDoBetter · 21/11/2025 20:04

Where are you based @Bugsandbeds ?

RightSheSaid · 21/11/2025 20:05

It's a condom. The whole posh wank excuse is bullship.

P0PTARTS · 21/11/2025 20:06

Ask your husband when the last time he used a condom was? Watch him squirm

ThejoyofNC · 21/11/2025 20:07

That's a red durex packet OP. Make of that what you will.

TheFatCatSatOnTheMat · 21/11/2025 20:07

I’m sorry OP that is very obviously a condom wrapper.

fourfoxsakes · 21/11/2025 20:08

I have some of those condoms the same I think, I will open one up and have a look in a minute.

Just mind that some men use a condom when they fly solo as well!

Yes I have heard that too, and apparently Bishops can catch VD from toilet seats...

Bugsandbeds · 21/11/2025 20:12

Ok. Did think if the posh wank thing but surely no one actually does that!?

Had issues with sex life for years, he always blamed me, has recently admitted it wasn't me and he caused the issues and dealt with the whole thing terribly (this is after him speaking to a therapist for few reasons). Spends lots of time running and at gym, has mentioned a woman from running club a few times and how she's split with her husband and he's being a dick to her and her kids. He mentioned how men can be dicks during divorces and he thinks it should be a standard 50/50 split.

He'll deny it if I say anything (prob say it was posh wank) and I no other actual evidence. We have 2 children, mortgage etc etc...live about 2 hrs from any family.

I feel quite lonely right now.

Just a question
Do you use condoms between your selves occasionally??
Are these them
I know we use condoms from time to time For quickies etc or holidays
And I know for definite DH sometimes uses them Solo
I caught him sheepishly hiding them in the bin afterwards
Ask definitely look at his response
good luck 🤞

Just because ChatGPT recommended it to you when you asked doesn't mean people actually do it you know 🤣

KidsDoBetter · 21/11/2025 20:10

What’s your point?

That the "posh wank" theory isn't so much a myth as in nobody does it; men do it when they want to get used to wearing a condom again. Usually because they already know that they are struggling to maintain an erection with one on.

If that isn't relevant to the OP's sex life with him, then it must be to do with sex with other people. And the worst thing is that he already knows it is an issue.

Arewethebadguys · 21/11/2025 20:14

So sorry this is happening to you OP. Sending a huge hug to you. Take some time to process and think about your next move xx

LBFseBrom · 21/11/2025 20:15

It certainly looks like a condom wrapper.

Ask him!

Oh love, holding your hand, it's a horrible feeling to contemplate what this might mean.

Sorry OP I realise I'm being flippant on a thread that's about something awful happening, I apologise.

Could you set up a nanny cam somewhere? Not necessarily in the bedroom but by the door or in the hall? To see who might be coming and going while you're out? The Mentionitis about the gym woman is a bit sus.

Happyjoe · 21/11/2025 20:16

Long shot, but how old are your children? No chance naughty teenager living with you?
But am sorry OP, that's a shitty place to be in right now. I hope you get some honesty, it's the least you deserve.
