The article addresses a woman's troubling discovery of a condom in her waste basket, which she and her husband do not use, leading her to question his fidelity. The advice provided encourages her to consider all possible explanations for the presence of the condom. It advises caution in approaching her husband, factoring in his potential reactions, including the risk of violence. The author also suggests evaluating her own emotional responses and desired outcomes from the conversation, such as accountability or counseling, emphasizing the importance of a constructive approach to the sensitive issue.
Consider ways your husband might react to being asked about this used condom. If there's any risk of violence, let a trusted person know what's about to happen.
If you suspect he'll evade, dissemble, or flat out lie to you, take some time to evaluate whether it's even worth having this conversation.
Think through what potential outcomes you are and are not OK with. What if he's immediately apologetic? Is that enough?
Evaluate your desire for a response from him and ensure it is coming from a constructive place rather than an emotionally reactive one.
