Found a Vicodin in the Car

Hi Ladies, you all were really helpful when I posted a little while ago about my struggles with trying to overcome my husbands cheating a few years ago. An incident happened last night and I'd love to hear what your first thought would be, and tell me I'm not crazy!!

So we only have one car and I almost never drive since I work from home. This car is like my husbands pride and joy and always cleaning it and keeping it spotless. I took the car two nights ago and opened the center console to put the garage key back and I see a large blue pill. From the code imprint on it I found that it is a Lorcet, like a Vicodin. Since his dad had just had a stroke I called his mom to ask if she'd given my husband a pill for pain or something, or if his dad is even on those pills (just trying to find a logical explanation of why this pill would be in our spotless car). Of course, no such pills are at her house.

So last night I confront my husband asking where it came from. He said he had no idea and started making jokes about it. Then said maybe it was from his mom or dad when they took the car. Then said maybe from someone at the car cleaners it fell in there when cleaning it.

What would you think??? Am I crazy for thinking something is shady?

    Sounds pretty damn shady to me.
  • ehhh sounds alittle shady to me too

  • It's a LITTLE shady, but without more evidence it's not a hill I would die on.  Do you have any other reason to suspect he has a drug problem?
  • not a drug problem in the past, but certainly a lying one when I was uncovering his addiction to calling/texting escorts from Craigslist.
  • Ah, I see.  Well if it were me he would have been out of my life after the Craigslist thing.  But he wasn't out of yours.  One pill does not mean that he is using drugs.  It really COULD have been anything.  I think that you know better than anyone when/if he's lying and if you are to the point where you have to call the whole world asking where this pill came from it means one of two things:

    1. He is using drugs and is a loser who doesn't deserve to be in your life

    2. You truly have lost all trust in him and need to either end the relationship or seek counseling to see how he can get your trust back

    If you find out he is using drugs, I strongly advise you to tell him to leave. Drug use is a dealbreaker.

    I do not wish to be an alarmist but perhaps it would be wise to run a credit check on him and on you. One never knows. GL.
  • I cannot imagine why on earth this guy is still your H. The pill is the least of your problems. It probably came from one of the hookers he picked up.
  • And of course today is my birthday, what a joy!!

    And if he only picked up a pill from one of them hookers, he's a lucky little devil.;

    This doesn't bode well. If there's one pill there, there are others elsewhere.

    Keep close watch on this.

    I'm torn on how to get the answer. I can't let this just get swept under the rug and pretend I didn;t find it.

    Do I try a calm approach? Or a 'tell me or I'm leaving' approach? Now I'm afraid he;s going to make up what could be the most "innocent" answer something like "ok fine, my friend John asked me to hold it onto it for him" and I'll never really know if thats the truth or the easiest lie he could think up to shut me up without making me leave.

    I just have all the distrust feelings I had back when I discovered the escort calling. He looked at me over and over with lies, I just don't know how I can believe him now.
  • Why do you need an answer? He's not going to tell you the truth and you're not going to believe him. This relationship is over. Why do you want to live like this? What you need are an attorney and divorce papers. The trust is gone...and for good reason. Move on and give yourself a chance to be happy.
  • What is really sad is that you are questioning every little thing now. That is no way to live. You need to get help so you can live a healthy life instead of questioning every little detail. You are going to drive yourself crazy.

    If you have distrust feelings, there is no real reason for you to stay. That is no way to live.
  • so any updates? what did you end up doing?
