Yesterday I found glitter on my fiance's penis. We have been together 4 years, survived military deployments, etc and not once has there been any suspicion of cheating with either of us. We have nothing in our home that has glitter in/on it because when we first met, he told me he hated glitter because of its tendency to get stuck on your body, clothes, etc. I have purposely avoided it for that reason.

Our relationship is amazing and so is our sex life. I have never had any reason to doubt his fidelity, but now I am so confused. When I brought it up to him, I was calm and trying so hard not to accuse him bc I understand how hostile those kinds of conversations can be. He tells me he doesn't know how it got there. Tried to tell me it was me, but I know for a fact it wasn't. And he told me that while at his friend's house, there was no way it could have gotten in there accidentally. I don't understand why he would add that when I felt I needed some assurance.

I know that all I can do is trust him or leave him. I haven't spoken to him since yesterday because he told me my accusations were "bullsh*t" and he started yelling at me for hurting him. Would someone with nothing to hide treat someone they love like this?

Is it normal for me to feel this way? Am I being blind & naive or am I making this out to be worse than it is? I don't have many female friends so I don't know if this is normal female behavior. Am I doing something wrong that is making him angry with me? I have taken his feelings in consideration without compromising my own. Other than that, I don't know what I should be doing.
Do you think it's normal?

I probably think his just an ordinary guy :), I men when there's a beer spill on the table he certainly didn't do it, when the toilet seat is left up he certainly didn't do it, when the remote is missing e didn't loose it, I wouldn't say that they would be lying or anything, it's just tat they actually think that they really didn't do it :D:D. Don't worry, if he was having an affair he would beak up with you on the first possible moment, I'd rather think he just doesn't know where from it got on to histhing :), If he was at a friends house then probably when he was in the bathroom he somehow got it on :D, maybe there ws some stuck on the toile paper, because there had been a gliiter accident that was cleaned up with the paper, don't worry, it's OK :D
Hold on a second. You "found" glitter on his penis. How did you find it? Did it shine at you or something? Does your friend work with his hands. Anything glittery can be transfered from hands to penis without even knowing about it. Aluminum dust, metal shavigs,glamour makeup? You did not mention where on the penis you found it(bottom, top, underneath, all around), or how much glitter was actually on it (One or two specs or hundreds?).
Since you discovered the glitter, did you care to notice a smell? Make-up contains glitter, but it usually has some type of smell to it, you should have smelled his penis while you were digging for gold dust. If you are happy with your sex life, dont worry about it.

If you think he is really cheating, next time you plan to have sex get him drunk and have some nasty sex with him and talk dirty to him and tell him how much you would enjoy watching him with another woman. He will give you a few clues with his responses and if you think youre getting somewhere ask him about actually doing it and suggesting a few of your "Girlfriends" that may happily accomodate "your" fantasy of watching him.Make sure to suggest any of your friends that you may think would fit the criteria.
Okay, I admit I didn't read all of the other comments... so if I repeat something, sorry.

What I can tell you is this, I am a man, I am a soldier, and I have cross the path of the evil glitter more than once...

First, in the military, I have found there is a huge pressure to cheat, despite strict regs against it... But that doesn't mean anything, I haven't cheated, and I know others who haven't... I just know the pressure is there.

Second... I can't even being to recall how many times I've found glitter one all kinds of places on my body that I couldn't begin to understand.

Have you ever looked at a magazine at the grocery store? They're right next to the greeting cards, which I must say seem to have developed some kind of unholy attraction for glitter.

In my unit, I work with females all the time, and I've ended up with their glittery crap all over me without even working closely with them. And all it takes is one touch to get it on your hands, and I'm going to take a wild guess that your husband has to take a leak at least once in awhile...

So the moral of my story is this... It's probably just an innocent thing. And he probably got defensive because even innocent people don't like being questioned, especially when that person is in a profession that has a very high rate of infidelity.

If things at home have been good, then I would hold the suspicions until there seems a good cause. An awkward invasion of the most evil substance on Earth doesn't, in my mind, constitute a valid reason to suspect foul play.
I wrote this entry out of.. confusion mostly. In my heart, I knew he wouldn't cheat, but it's a very strong emotion and I'm guilty of being a "typical female" every once in a while. We resolved everything soon after, but I really appreciated your comment most (Phaeteon]. In 5 years, I haven't once doubted his fidelity and it turned out to be as silly as I'd originally thought my accusations were.

Thank you :)
As others have said, glitter can be easily transferred from one thing to another. But... how much glitter can a man get on his penis inexplicably? Was there a lot?
He cheated. I promise he did. I'd put that on my mom. How do i know? Because i got glitter on my penis this weekend. I have a lot less after showering. But i still got a little bit on there. The chick i was with had it on her lips. It made her lips looks wet and sparkley. I remember specifically askin her, what are you a stripper or some thing. If thats not enough i can tell you, when a guy is innocent and hes scared your not gonna believe him. He gets wide eyed and starts talking fast. But when a guy is guilty they start yelling and saying how dare you! I cant believe you dont trust. Liers protest. Innocent people pleade. Everyone else here miss lead you. Why i dont lnow. But they did
By the way, the girl was probably young ive never seen older women wear that stuff before. I dont know where your from but here they sell it at a place called sallys.
he might go to his friends house and have a gay party were they al get naked an through glitter around...
yea sounds like he cheated, i can honestly say that i have never got glitter on my penis without it coming from a girl, its not likely that u can get it on ya hands and then on ya cock, possible but very unlikely, id ditch him
I hate to say the unpopular things but, does it really matter, if he's still having sex with you all the time and it's good he's not seeing someone regularly, and as such if he has cheated then it would be only a few times with different girls and he's probably gonna be allot more careful about it now.

In my mind you need to ask yourself three questions.

1. Would you leave him?

2. Do you love him?

3. Are you happy?
Well you've got the range in comments here from complete innocent to plausible denial to lip stick on more than the collar. Where does that leave you?

Where you started - suspicious and hurt while not completely knowing if you even should be. And that is a pretty wretched & uncomfortable place to be.

The reality check is that this & his reaction is pretty damned suspicious. If this is to be your life mate you want to keep an eye on him & get to know who he is exactly a whole lot better.

That doesn't mean dump him, although that is an option. Just be wary. You will know.

All that glitters is not gold.

PS - you are normal and are being pretty reasonable.
that person knows how to find glitter
i suppose i exaggerated a bit when i first posted this. it wasn't glitter btw, it was a sequin.. one of those tiny, round disks with a hole in it. i broke up with him quite awhile ago & we went back to being friends rather than being in a relationship where i felt i couldn't trust him. he recently admitted to me that it looked suspicious, but that i was wrong with my accusations & he'd do anything to prove it. since we're not in a relationship anymore, it stopped mattering to me so i declined. his honesty is appreciated, but the fact that i doubted him at all keeps me from wanting to be with him now. uncertainty and jealousy are the devil. i'm guilty of being a girl and i can turn almost anything a man says into "you just called me fat!" or "you're cheating on me, aren't you?!". the imagination runs wild when it comes to insecurity. should women do this? no. do they? yep. i try not to & in this case, i let my emotions get the best of me.

whether the sequin/glitter thing was a cheating issue or not, it doesn't matter anymore. if you can't trust someone you're with, you shouldn't be with them. if you have insecurity issues, you should look into changing that and then attempting to be with someone.

it hurt to leave him. it hurt even more to think i couldn't trust him & that i doubted him so while it was hard, i did it. maybe he is telling the truth and it never was anything at all. who knows. i'm happy with my decision & if it was the wrong one, well, at least i am proud that i could walk away from something that brought on my original post full of emotional insecurity.

thanks to everyone for the posts... both helpful and not.
