Well after reading very ones answers i thought i would give more info. And try answering ya'll questions. First off we have never use a condom together, and i have asked him about it and he said its not his that he has never used or bough condoms. When we go together he moved in with me about 2 days after being to gether cuz he had nowhere to stay at the time. Since then we have moved, and no one has been over, so the only way the condom would end up in our room is if some one used it in there. I havent bought condoms in over 5 years and didnt have any around the house. And for those who wanted to know he left his ex wife cuz she had a drink and drug problam, not coming home at night, her friends were more important then thier daughter. Thank you all for the help!!!

lexilou agony auntIt might be he just hasnt cleaned up!! It could have been under the bed or in his sock drawer and got disturbed recently. It doesnt necessarily mean he is cheating on you, I would personally think if he was he would make damn sure any evidence was removed immediately and disposed of in a bin 10 miles from home just in case!!!!

Havent used condoms for a while but pretty sure we still have some upstairs that are still in date and we bought them to use after I had our little boy and he's 3 and a half now x

Uncle Sneaker agony auntI know it doesn't help, but I think I ought to tell you that my wife recently found a packet of condoms of mine, and demanded to know why the hell I had them.

I hadn't a clue - until I looked at the expiry date: December 1984.

By the way, Uncle Phil's anwer is spot on, in my opinion.

Queeny agony aunthe was married.!!.. lol...! or is it that he was a widow? do you stay with him? if you do not use that type of condom? then yes, he is cheating on you i.e only if you are sure you have not used that condom type for the last three years (its kinda hard to remember though) anyway... what much would you expect from divorced men if he is the one that left his wife or was a major cause of the marriage breakdown... wat i'm trying to say is, trading with divorced men will not always give good bargains.. you canot trust them lol.. only if the divorce was genuine..

A reader, anonymous, writes (3 June 2008):

Finding an empty condom wrapper is no evidence of anything, irrespective of the date it was bought. It's not unusual for a man to use a condom when masturbating - it saves a load of mess on the bedsheets and he doesn't have to squeeze the end when approaching the vinegar stroke thereby avoiding the possibility of blowing his balls off.

Why not just ask him about it instead of trying to play Sherlock Holmes? If he says he's looking after it for a mate or some similar answer, then you would have every right to be suspicious.

Sandman agony auntThe expiration date on the condom is NOT going to tell you whether or not he's cheating on you. The condom (with that date) seems a bit old though as I the exp date on condoms are like 5 years or so. But keep in mind, condoms might not be a best seller where your husband may have purchased them, so they could have been on the shelf for quite some time before being purchased.

There's really no way to tell by the information given. If you want to know whether or not he's cheating on you, just ask him. He's either gonna tell you yes or no. Tell him you found the condom and see what he says. If he says yes, then you've got your answer - now act on it. If he says no, then you've got your answer - now act on it.

Simply put, don't try to make a mountain out of a mole hill. There may be a perfectly logical explanation as to why he has them.

Hope this helps.
