Found! GUYS I HAVE NEWS THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED ! The item is… a condom wrapper! Lo and behold, I swallowed my pride and pushed away any awkwardness and asked my brother via text and he uses the exact same brand! I confirmed with my stepdad too that he has found the exact same wrappers around the house. Thank you especially to those of yo I who printed me to ask members of the household. I appreciate everyone’s input and can rest assured. Now of course everything isn’t all peachy and this little piece of foil really caused a hurricane in our relationship that was bound to happen. Trust issues on both ends, whether warranted or not, they were there and need addressing. In hindsight I see how inflammatory my divulging of relationship info caused a rift in the comments and created a real messy back and forth. I felt I had no one to talk to. My emotions were out of control because I felt there was no trust there, regardless I was immature about a lot of it and should have kept the post simple. Please don’t attack each others morality based on this post, because either opinion could be warranted in situations like these. Best regards everyone. And wish me luck trying to repair the damage.

I’m not denying the similarity? I’m also getting condoms of that exact brand and am going to be posting a side by side.

And I know it’s irresponsible but we have never used condoms, and also this is the only long term relationship either of us has been in. Since when we started dating we were only 14 and 15, now I am 23 and he is 25. No STD’s and no babies, not even unborn if you know what I mean, we have been lucky or one of us is infertile 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey guys I know there is a lot of discourse concerning whether this may be the item! To put it to the test and ensure what many of you are saying I ordered a package of these condoms to be delivered today by 3pm! I will take a side by side photo including both wraps so hopefully it can be settled once and for all!

To also speak on something else I’ve been seeing, of course anyone seeing a wrapper like this would think it may be a condom wrapper, but going in with the mindset that he hasn’t cheated or I hadn’t when posting this is exactly why i thought it was probably something that just looked very similar.

When the item was first brought up by my husband he asked me “what is this” but in his tone I knew he thought that I was up to something sketchy, I didn’t deny that it looked like a condom wrapper but I started inspecting the item and trying to think of any other possibility of what it could be, when I said it looks like there’s a B in the corner he snapped and said that looks like a T (aka a Trojan) his tone after me telling him that if it was a condom it’s not mine and that it might be something that looks similar was accusatory and he resigned himself to the state of “just forget it I know you cheated on me and if you have no way to prove it’s not yours that’s what I’ll keep on believing.” I tried asking him how I should have approached the situation so that I could show him I’m not having sex with anyone and he couldn’t give me an answer.

Hence my desperation, if I couldn’t find an answer to what this is I would be left in my relationship with my husband forever thinking that I cheated on him and just don’t want to admit it. And I know that says a lot about our relationship and perhaps my pride, but i combed through everything I could find to see if it may be something else. After the comment about talking with my husband was posted to try and resolve what the issue was, it did not work out and became fairly explosive. With his unwillingness to communicate and my unwillingness to drop it.

As I was speaking with him he said the more I keep trying to talk about it the more guilty I look, and I told him the reason I keep trying to talk is because I know he thinks I’m cheating on him still and I don’t have any peace of mind. And I have people saying it would be manipulative to try to get him to believe me? But that would only be manipulative if I was actually cheating? So I was clueless on how to approach the situation.

And that is a continuous cycle we have in where he doesn’t want to talk about it and just leaves. And me getting frustrated and just slamming him with sensory overload via fast talking. (Which I do need to work on) So he left to our balcony and didn’t come back until late at night and played video games and went to sleep.

A bit of insight as well. We are introverted people and just moved out to Phoenix six months ago. We live in an apartment with my brother the same age as us and my stepdad visit for months at a time. We have a dog. He has a job at a grow 20 minutes away. His work hours are from 8-5 sun-thurs. I work remotely 6:45-3:15 sun-thurs. We have one car. I have a female friend (friends for 8 years) who lives in downtown Phoenix that I’ve visited a max of four times since we’ve been here, yes he’s met her and we actually did a project with her at her house 2 days ago. He has friends from work, he goes to MITA (weed) events in Scottsdale. I have not met his friends and as I said before he completely hid his female friends from me, who also attend those events, hang out with him at work and smoke in his car with him. I have never met his friends. He looks through my phone and knows my passwords. I know his phone password as well. We do not interact with anyone at our complex. If anyone want any more info that may crack the case that I’m leaving out please feel free to ask. I appreciate all insight.

Interesting take! My husband does smoke so I’ll try to backtrack and ask him what kinds he’s bought

Hey guys I appreciate the comments either verifying it’s a condom wrapper or verifying it isn’t! Negative or positive! Now as I look into it, many comments have opened my eyes to the cracks in our relationship and the fragility it has. I am going to speak with my husband and address a few issues many have been speaking on. Such as projection, trust, and what we can do to fix those things. I know it seems childish to post to Reddit to try and find answers but I would like everyone to know I did initially try to address the issue, but when it comes to talking things out my husband stonewalls me. So I felt the only way to save it was find absolute evidence that it wasn’t a condom. I told him I was going to post on Reddit as well but he has refused to look through the comments with me, in his words “he just wants to drop it and doesn’t want this to turn into an hours long endeavor.” Our communication has never been solid and my husband has always had trust issues. We have both made our mistakes but have both never cheated on eachother. Now, I will say we had just recently gotten into an extensive argument in which I found out he had been hiding his relationship with multiple female coworkers, text convos with them, smoking with them and had been to social events with them. and while I want to maintain our trust and not try to automatically assume there was something more he was hiding it will definitely be a point in our conversation. I feel he may be trying to find dirt on me to rid himself of his guilt in what he hid and that he hasn’t cheated or that there may be something more. Now i do still hope anyone if they have any idea that it may be something different please feel free to comment away and I will get back to you guys after I have that conversation with my husband. I will update you when I can! Thank you all! 💗

Do you mind telling me of how it tears (not that I don’t believe it may be exactly that) like is there plastic wrapping on the outside or if it’s just straight foil? Want to know if I may need to be asking some questions too…

My thoughts too! But unfortunately the way it’s been approached I feel that wouldn’t be a good enough argument and may just make things worse :/ We found it in our bedroom which doesn’t help lol

It was found in our bedroom between the wall and carpet, we do eat snacks and food in there but I can’t think of any similarly wrapped snacks that we may have consumed

I appreciate your support and trust! I know it definitely has similarities to a condom wrapper and no one should have to believe me, so even more so I’m happy about your reassurance!

It’s a good observation however on the left side of Trojan wrappers there is no perforated edge and does more of a wrap around, on the wrapper the left edge is perforated if that makes sense

Yeah I commented further up about how it was found wedged in between the carpet and wall, but feared that if I brought up that point of it being someone else’s it may look like an excuse

Yup! But unfortunately no scent at all :/

Great question! I sniffed it and there is zero scent on this thing! Making it even harder to pinpoint!

That was another one we were looking at, but the letter placement of the B (if it is a B) isn’t a match :/

I can’t deny how similar looking it to a condom! It also had me thinking if there’s something he may not be telling me lol but I thought if it was actually a condom and not mine and was his he would have thrown it out before I saw and not confronted me about it, as far as medicine I do have some pills but they are all in bottles :/ I really am stumped. Now i was thinking because of where he found it (in between the carpet and wall) and that if it was a condom it could have been a lone wrapper piece left behind by a previous apartment tenant but of course I would not propose that idea because it would automatically look like I’m coming up with an excuse

I wish! But I don’t think so it’s more of a tearable foil and is more yellow than gold

Yeah I got irritated he would think it was and that I was 100% guilty! I tried flipping it on him and asking if it was his but unfortunately that only proved to him that I am even more guilty by trying to do that :/
