Idk what to think...

So I was looking for something and then I went into a draw and found condoms.. me and my partner haven't used them in 9 years... I went into total shock I couldn't breathe and I had to sit down on the kitchen floor... I just... I dont even know. They weren't exactly hidden they were on the top of the crap that's in the draw but it's not a draw I go into. Im currently laying in bed trying to idk calm my self down I'm 20 weeks pregnant and we have a nearly 2 year old son... Of course I'm going to confront him about it when he comes home but wtf am I supposed to do if he lies to my face or comes up with an excuse...

I mean if they weren’t hidden, I wouldn’t think too much of it. Maybe they’ve always been here all these years as backup, but you guys never got the need for them, so they’ve withering away in that drawer.

@Johanna no, I've organised the draw a handful of times and even searched through it for batteries etc but I don't go into it because I organised other draws to hold the stuff that we need to hand. They're new condoms because the expiry on them Is 2028...

@Johanna he's always hated condoms like he pretty much forced me to stop using them because he despised them. Like even when I gave birth to my son I told him I would like him to wrap it up as I don't wanna go on the pill right away as I wanted my postpartum hormones to calm down first and he shut me down immediately and told me I can go back on the pill because he refuses to use condoms..

Honestly your discovery aside I have to say if my partner tried to force me to go on the pill when he could EASILY wear a condom with none of the side effects that come with the pill I would have told him bye! I think that’s crazy

Maybe he changed his mind, I mean you must of spoke about it recently as you mentions postpartum so maybe he changed he’s mind and bought them.

@Olivia they're not In a box... There's 4 condoms. Like he hasn't purchased them at all. And something like buying condoms he would have told me. And I mentioned it nearly 2 years ago when I gave birth to my son, condoms has never been brought up since. Like we both refuse to use them but it was mostly him than me. I didn't mind using other forms of contraception even tho it did ruin my body..

i would definitely confront him once you’ve calmed down so you can get your answers. i mean my partner hates wearing condoms but he does because i don’t want to go on any contraceptives (i can’t go on most of them for medical reasons). you certainly shouldn’t be pressured by him to go on the pill if you don’t want to, just so he doesn’t have to wear condoms.

Check expiry date and go from there

Sorry what I mean go from there meaning you would know roughly how long ago he purchased them at the least.. and you can surely put two and two together.. I hope it’s not what I think it maybe.. good luck

Condoms can last up to 5 years. If you think back to the last time you checked the draw you should be roughly able to tell when he got these. Ive experienced this in the past, found loose condoms in his 'work' bag, and unfortunately he was cheating on me.

I’d be confronting him immediately.

@Flower I think it is what we all think tbh, I threw them at him and asked him why does he have condoms we haven't used them in about 10 years he looked at me and said "they were just in my pocket and I put them in the draw" that's all he said. He didn't explain where they came from, or anything. I told him I don't believe him the way he pulled a face as well it was his angry caught out face. Like I'm not an idiot. Safe to say I don't trust him anymore

I’m so sorry incog. Somethings happening 100%, you’re right.

From the way he’s reacted to you confronting him, I would give him an ultimatum to tell you the honest truth, if he chooses not to you can choose how you want to go forward. I’m so sorry this is happening to you, stay strong 🫶🏻

So sorry for what you’re going through.. I really hope you’re okay
