Each time my boyfriend goes away on a business trip I find condoms in his bag, and we don't even use them!

Question - (8 September 2009) 18 Answers - (Newest, 12 September 2009)
A female South Africa age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend of 6 years went on a business trip last weekend. When he came back, I found a receipt for condoms. We don't use condoms. He says he was the one responsible for till slips for the team. but, why would someone try and claim condoms from the company?

this was not the first 'condom' incident. On his last business trip, he came back with condoms in his bag and said he had mistakenly swopped bags with a colleague (they have the same company bags). Then the story changed to 'he asked his colleague for condoms' because we were using condoms at that time due to his bladder infection.

before that, I found condoms in his bag and he said they were from before we dated.

I've told him that I love him, but can't be with him anymore. i don't trust him. Am i doing the right thing, or am I being paranoid?

I don't think it's unfair for him to come back finding all his belongings on the step with a nice gift box full of condoms in plain view so he's not confused.

Do you really need to question how out of line you're being when you know he's been screwing around on you?

About two minutes! No need for talking now. This guy is probably a bullshit artist so make the decision and chuck him out.

You want an honest answer? I'd say no more than ten minutes from the minute you next set eyes on him, and his clothes and other effects should be in black bin liners on your doorstep - or better, in the street - by that time. You will also have had the locks changed by that time.

Thanks guys, I'm glad I made the right decision.

I own the apartment. He helps with other expenses like groceries, lights bill etc. How long should I give him to move out?

Have a chat with him and confront him. Ask him outright if he's seeing someone. Tell him that you don't believe his excuses about the condoms and that you need to know the truth.

baddogbj agony auntWould you rather he didn't use them?

He doesn't seem fully up to speed. Every guy who cheats whilst away on business knows that you ditch the condoms as part of the process of checking out of your room: check you have your passport, your wallet, room key, confirm that you've ditched the condoms ....

You are not being paranoid.

not unfair at all.

He is not welcome there anymore. Tell him to get lost and not to come back.

If hes paying you rent you may have a problem, but if it were me Id change the locks put his stuff in plastic sacks and invite your girlfriens around for moral support, this guy aint worth it.

Sorry but you know you arent being paranoid. Hes playing away from home.

Time to confront him, or dump him or both.

Im willing to bet hes got a lame excuse, like what happens away stays away. Not good enough.

Well, he certainly seems to have a lot of uses and excuses for condoms doesn't he? Looking on the bright side, it's unlikely he'll have brought any nasty diseases home to you.

Paranoid? No, I don't think so.
