So a few weeks back I went away for the weekend. When I came back home I went to take a shower and I noticed a thick black strand of hair in the shower. I live with my boyfriend. It was too long to be his, and too dark and thick to be mine. He showers twice a day, so it didn’t seem likely a hair from my head had stayed in the shower like that for days. Still, I know he never rinses the shower before/after.
It had the same curl pattern as my hair and was about the right length, but I had never seen a hair from my head look like that. My hair is very fine. I even pulled out some strands of my hair to compare, and this hair was way thicker and darker. My first thought was his sister who has dark wavy hair used our shower, as she’d been over, but she didn’t. Obviously I considered he was cheating and brought some dark haired beauty into our shower. I made the immediate decision to trust my boyfriend, and not confront him, as that hair could’ve ended up in the shower for a number of reasons. Even still I took the hair and set it aside. For the first few days after, I scoured that shower and our bed looking for any signs of someone else. Eventually I mostly forgot about it but I thought about it from time to time and was even self congratulatory for being such a trusting girlfriend and never questioning him.
Today I was in the shower again and noticed a particularly thick strand of hair on my head. I pulled it out, and it was a dark, thick strand of hair that exactly matched the other one. It was from my own damn head the whole time. I am SO thankful I never confronted my boyfriend and trusted him completely. I just thought it was weird, and turns out I’m a dummy.
TL;DR I found a strange hair in hair in the shower after being out of town, and wondered if I’d been cheated on. It was my own hair.

The same exact thing happened to me. Kept finding thick curly dark black hairs and assumed they belonged to someone else because I have fine curly hair but I pulled one off my own head. Apparently I have random hairs that grow in thicker and darker than the rest but this is a new development for my hair
even if you were right about the cheating, waiting to gather more evidence before confrontation would’ve been the right move anyway!
i think this counts as the opposite of a FU because you kept it all in your head instead of acting on your suspicions. TL;DR – ya done good
Hoo boy, the insecurity levels are off the charts on this one.
Bro I absolutely much rather my gf just ask me if I know anything about the strand than her go through this nonsense. Playing detective isn’t being trustworthy. Together you could’ve figured this out way sooner and easier
