What do you think is going on?

I’m so stuck in what to do…my s/o and I argue atleast once a month usually about things that are petty. Or he is just in a “mood” and I can tell the vibe is just off. Well recently this feeling occurred again. He barely wanted anything to do with me, conversations was short . I tried to be fun and spontaneous & invited him to come upstairs. I waited and waited and finally I go to him and ask him like are you coming I’ve been waiting for 30 mins . He didn’t want to do anything with me . It hurt my feelings not going to lie just made me feel super insecure . So I eventually went to bed, next day I’m going through stuff and I notice a box of condoms that’s never been touched or open ( we never used condoms our entire 2 yr relationship) was open and one was missing . I immediately called him and asked about it. He says he didn’t open it , doesn’t know who did, said maybe the kids got into our drawer , ok yeah maybe they did. But the box was opened perfectly and a condom was perfectly ripped off. I don’t see a child that’s in our kids age group to be able to do that ( we have several children 5 & under ) but I gave him the benefit of the doubt since I don’t have any proof of anything else. He brought up he’s been distant because he feels as I don’t do enough around the house , I don’t clean enough etc. which I’ve been home with all the kids for about 3 weeks now. I’m trying my best to get everything done. I cook dinner every night , I clean atleast something everyday. I let it go the rest of the night waited until today when he got home from work, asked about his day, how work went etc . Then brought up that maybe we need to lock up our stuff or throw the condoms away so the kids don’t get into them, he said he isn’t locking anything up , and I said so we should throw them away since we don’t need them , he got mad , yelled at me that he doesn’t want to talk to me or about it. It’s just all suspicious to me, his behavior , him turning me down ( never has before) , condoms going missing and I searched the house and never found it . My heart wants to believe he didn’t take one , I don’t want to believe he’d actually do something like that to me…but I don’t know anymore, I’m lost . We’ve had problems before in the beginning of our relationship with being faithful , so it’s hard to believe he wouldn’t do it now . Just don’t understand why he’d jeopardize our relationship like that and our home life / kids …

Seems like he’s lost all interest… BOTH parties have to put forth effort or it won’t work. And it’s very obvious he isn’t willing to… cut your losses and know your worth!

Why would he have bought them at all if you dont use them? Did he answer that question? If not, you have your answer.

Men do stupid shit, definitely would make me question it as well look further into it does he freak if you touch his phone is he always on it? Is he gone alot or coming home late? Don’t let him tell you, you don’t do enough I have 4 kids
5 almost 6, 3,2 and 1 and let me just say our jobs are not easy I do basic cleaning everyday but have laundry on my couch dishes in my sink that I wash when o have time!
But my closets could desperate be cleaned! I do my best daily! And that’s all that matters as long as your kids are taken care of maybe you need to leave all the kids with him for the day leave come back and question why your house isn’t cleaned :woman_shrugging:t2:

You know the answer to all your questions, kick him to the curb and don’t let him think he can get away with it.

Because he’s selfish, and instead of talking it out and fixing it he’d rather run off and play. :triumph: You deserve someone that will fix your relationship with you when there’s a problem. This is 16 year old shit.

This happened to me on 2 separate occasions with the same guy. His excuse was he bought them and threw one away just to test me and see if I was going through his things lol. We went to therapy and he still had me believing this even though I knew in my gut it was bs. I thought it was all my fault for failing his test. Don’t let him make you feel this way. Leave. It will only get worse.

He’s being rude to you because he’s seeing someone else that he doesn’t have a “relationship” with requires him to be good to them. So every time he’s rude to you… he’s comparing about what his life could be like with her. He took the condom. He cheated. And how he’s making you feel like somethings wrong with you so you’ll take the blame when he comes clean.

You know the answer. Leave

You know the answer already mama. He’s being unfaithful. Why would he even have condoms since you guys don’t use them? And one was tore off perfectly? The kids didn’t do it and you know it. He’s cheating on you and blaming his cheating and being distant on you and the house cleaning. That’s what they do…they blame the victim! Girl…kick him to the curb before he ends up giving you something

He’s not happy and this doesn’t give him a right to cheat or mess around or treat you badly. You can work on communication, you can try therapy; but from the sounds of it, neither of you are happy and it’s up to the both of you to work together to repair it or simply be done. If you aren’t happy you aren’t going to cherish a relationship while you don’t understand why he’d jeopardize a relationship maybe he’s standing on the other side thinking something completely different. Good luck, I hope you can work your problems out together

He definitely did it… trust ur gut instincts.
Don’t let him get away with it … just say to him I know what u did… but u won’t admit it. I won’t be forgetting u did this… and walk away… dont let him punish u by being rude and aggressive towards u… when he was the one in the wrong.
U chuck them away. U don’t need them …

This hurts my heart for you. I’ve been in your shoes. I think you know the answer already. You just need to accept it and let the realization hit you. It freaking hurts but living in denial and letting him get in your head the way he is, is BS. Stop being played the fool! Stand up for yourself! Put your foot down! Find a way out with your babies now. If he is a good dad then he should get equal parenting rights but he should get no more of your time and attention. His attention is elsewhere honey. He will deny it till is last dieing breathe like most cheaters do. He will play the victim, flip the script on you like ‘it is all your fault because X Y Z’. All he is doing is pointing the finger at you to take attention off himself. The condoms being found would have set me off like no other. Don’t be submissive with this. Stand. Up. For. Your. SELF.

I’d get a camera where the condom box is and boom when he tries to get 1 he’s caught and needs to fess up

The guy I am seeing now use to get them, but we would never use them as I am allergic to latex. Well one day I came back from a trip and low and behold a used condom in the trash. Me being insecure and untrusting I went at him with 3rd degree. Turns out he uses condoms when masturbating. He says its easier clean up. It’s been 5yrs now and Ive caught him a handful of times lol pun inteneded…but he’s never given me any reason to not believe him. If he’s being distant in the bedroom try something new.

I’m so sorry. I know this hurts, one of the worst things a person can do is betray your trust and throw your relationship away for a fling. However, women just know. We somehow have the ability to sense these things. It is very unlikely your kids got the condom, but you already know this. They would have taken the whole thing, not take one condom, perfectly. He did it, he may have not used it yet but was thinking about it and that’s why he’s so touchy about it. Or he did use it and that would result in being angry about it. Either way he did it, and you deserve better than that. You don’t deserve to be treated horrible because he’s unhappy with himself because he makes poor choices. Let’s be honest though if the roles were reversed and you said it was the kids he wouldn’t except that. Worry about yourself and kids and let the cheater go. I hope it all works out for you.

Well I have had 5 children I worked 2 jobs when they was little. Idk why you can’t clean the entire house hold a job and cook . He’s so wrong tho If he’s been a dick leave

Sorry to say but your mind already knows. It’s the hard part of knowing when to plan the strategy of how to move on. Been there done that but didn’t have kids when my ex husband cheated. Wish you the best but please do what’s best for you and your kids. Don’t stay for the kids, too many try and it doesn’t end well. My friends have tried and had to eventually leave. Wish you well.

I think he’s cheating based on the info provided. I’m sorry but it is kind of suspect & his behavior is indicative of one w something to hide.

I would move the box of condoms. If he can’t find them I’m. Sure he’d ask where they went. Put them up where only you and he could reach (no excuse about kids in that case)

They have these small cameras. Like $40. Get it. Set it by the spot you have them stored at. And youll know.
The usb port does work for charging… So its hard to detect.

Buy a jar of jalapenos. Throw out jslapenos. Take out the condoms neatly. Poke a hole in them that is not noticeable. Soak them in the jar of jalapeno juice.
Remove from juice. Wipe outsides off with soapy water and rinse. Dry them with paper towel and return neatly to the box if somehow noticed must have been the kids. If not noticed you will know when its been used.

Throw the box at him and tell him to het packing. Either he’ll come to his senses and try everything to make things right in his marriage with you and PROVE himself or he won’t. If he won’t, then you should move on in life because there is someone out there that will cherish everything about you. The kids will be fine!

There are only two possibilities and these ladies have said what the first one is. The other one is he is watching porn and using the condoms to do his business. I am thinking it is the first one since he has cheated before. Either way, he doesn’t have any respect for you. You deserve better. Anybody who makes you feel bad about yourself doesn’t deserve you.

He sounds bipolar and he is most definitely cheating. I’ve lived through this exact situation
