Danny Bateman Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Alright, here's the deal. Went to the store to grab milk for the girlfriend this morning because we were out and she wanted cereal.Thought she would be happy when I got back. Turns out she cleaned up in our bedroom and found a certain prophylactic (old, mashed up, and open) in a pair of my shorts on the floor. Needless to say, we have not been using those. I have NOT cheated on her. That actually has been an issue for me in past relationships, so I've been very open with her about it and honest about how I've worked a lot so that is not an issue for me anymore.I kind of feel like I just flushed that trust down the toilet. I'm ticked off, because I have no idea where it came from. I seem to have a vague memory of an old one falling out during a recent move and quickly picking it up so my parents wouldn't notice. But I really can't remember. Anyway, I hope y'all can find some humor in my predicament. She's currently mad at me in the next room, probably unsatisfied with my explanation of "I have no idea." Any advice for this situation? Also, feel free to share your tips for dealing with unhappy SOs or spouses. Obviously it's probably a way different dynamic if you're actually married...

Moiraine Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 That sucks, sorry. Unfortunately I don't really have any advice. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 My advice will not help you... it never helps me so just assuming... 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I guess you hit it on the head with the trust thing. It's probably understandably a severe breakdown of that. And it'll take an earnest effort to build it back up. All the best! Quote Link to comment
commando Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 you should have turned the tables and asked her who's shorts are those 5 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 By chance, have her parents ever stayed in your room? That would solve it all. lol Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Advice? Yeah, you told her the truth you said. So it is done. If she has an issue with it she is the one that needs advice, not you. Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Update: All is well.She cooled off after a while and I talked to her again about, reinforcing what I was saying before. I think being open and honest about my past from the get-go was useful here. Much more useful than if I had hid that or never broached the subject.I think this is a Ron White quote, and I like it very much:"If you never lie, you can't get caught."Food for thought, I guess. Feel free to turn this thread into a master list of anything that can get you out of the doghouse with the spouse/SO! I'm sure there's plenty that can keep us poor schlubs out of trouble! 1 Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 My advice is; Spouses and SO's are going to get po'd at you most of the time anyway (it's like their purpose in life...) So, I say give them good reason to be po'd once in awhile. Lord knows they'll get there without good reason plenty so might as well earn the wrath at least some of the time. This provides much needed balance to the relationship. However, I wouldn't suggest the soiled rubber route, especially for those who are married. 1 Quote Link to comment

Glad I could give your wife something to bitch about at the game Saturday. I made you look like a god damn hero probably. Quote Link to comment
RunMickeyRun02 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'm interested to know if the phantom condom mystery was ever solved. Quote Link to comment
