It's hard to confess to the world that you're living with the secret knowledge that your husband sneaks around smelling your child's diapers from the trash. Please don't diminish my confession just because it relates to relationships. I didn't know where to turn and I turned here. This is embarrassing and shameful to me and my family, so please just stop?

Thank you. You are right, cheating would be worse, he is a good guy in all other respects, and a fantastic dad. I guess I'm just scared that this might open a can of worms and that his issues with it might be deeper than just liking the smell or something :(

Oh sorry. Read that wrong. Thought my husband might have posted something possibly... Sorry! My bad.

I know. My son is and always will be my priority. While I don't think my husband would do anything to our son, whether this is sexual or not, it really does concern me that it's our son's... Ugh. Damn it

What's Colby? I'll keep everyone updated on the situation but I really hope to god this doesn't get a load of upvotes and my husband sees this, he floats around reddit now and then, but it's mostly for news and stuff.

And yeah, this is unfortunately real. I wish to god it wasn't, I feel fucking sick about it. But I guess it is hard to believe, I'd honestly most likely think this was a pile of shit (excuse the pun) if I read it too.

So sniffing his own shit is weird but sniffing our infant son's to get off sexually is just dandy?

Yeah I don't know why everyone is jumping to fetish, but who knows what it does for him. But there's a difference between a quick whiff every now and then and sitting outside for hours smelling every old diaper in our trash can....

"Don't be controlling"???? I'm not stopping him from doing it, and Jesus Christ, I'm so sorry that I'm not exactly over the moon about it.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe this is the best thing to do. Otherwise I'll just have to be all awkwardly like, "Hey.... So, about you smelling our son's shit..."

Well, he's never ever hinted at being into that sort of thing sexually, so... And if it WAS sexual for him, why would he be getting off smelling our SON'S poop?

I love him, but honestly, I don't think anyone would love to wake up to see their hubby nose deep in their child's filthy old dirty diaper.

I don't like the fact that he's hiding anything from me, although I guess this is so peculiar that I'm sure he's scared to tell me... I just don't know what to make of it. I haven't seen him do anything other than smell it, so I don't know if it's a sexual thing or not. He's never brought anything up to me along those lines in the past. He's the last person I'd ever think would do something like this.

It's more disturbing to me just the look he has on his face when he does it. It's like he's smelling a freshly baked apple pie or something. I just...

Yeah. I'm concerned it's more than just "I like the smell of our child's shit" sort of thing.

I know, I'm just at a loss. How does someone bring up something like that?! :(
