The Things We Leave Behind

You know everyone goes through breakups in their life, some are more amicable than others.  Sometimes you end up getting back together with that person but more often than not you broke up for a reason.

You may have went through the stage in the breakup where you are either asking for or returning stuff that your former significant other had possession of; Clothes, furniture etc.  What often gets overlooked is the more raunchy of items you may have left behind, more specifically for the guy: Condoms.

There’s nothing really worse than leaving a fresh box of condoms at your ex’s place pre-breakup.  With everything that is going on between you two at the time it’s easy to forget about those little guys in the drawer of the nightstand next to her bed.  When you do get around to remembering about them there’s usually a standard response…. “FUCK”.

I gotta say I’ve been subjected to this situation a couple of times in my travels and it never puts a smile on your face knowing you just paid $18 for the family pack of prophylactics just to make it convenient for the rebound guy to bang your ex.

Plus it’s not like you can ask for those condoms back.  I mean you can but you’re probably not getting them back and if you do there’s definitely going to be less condoms in the box then you left there even if it’s just her fucking with your head.  The best move is to pretend they don’t exist and quietly be pissed off about it.

What’s worse is if you get back with the girl (even if only for a brief period) and end up going to bed with her, those rubbers, the ones you bought are gone or severely depleted.  The good news is that the last guy may have left a couple for you to return the favor.

These are some things to think about after you’ve just went through a breakup or are just starting to see this new girl who magically has condoms by her bedside. Someone buys the condoms and i’d say 98% of the time it’s not the girl.
