If she’s disappointed, it may be due to external opinions on what makes a woman a “real mother” who “truly birthed her baby”. There’s a nasty section in the On-line Mommy Wars that maintains anything other than a vaginal delivery without any medical intervention isn’t really a birth and the woman who was too weak is a bad mother who has already failed her baby irredeemably. It’s fucked up. She is a mess of rapidly changing postpartum hormones, expectations, failed expectations, fear, etc. This is when she needs grace and support from the people actively in her life.
All of that said, none of the above makes mistreatment and maltreatment okay. Grace, support, and professional help are all needed.
He didn’t hide them because they were in a drawer somewhere and he forgot about them. This is a you problem. I’m guessing you have been cheated on before. He didn’t do anything wrong. He’s not cheating. It’s actually kind of awful that you have so little trust in him. That says far more than some old condoms his mom gave him.
Get more involved in your SO's life and social circle.
Your big gesture shouldn’t involve worrying her on purpose just so you can have that big moment.

You have a picture of an exes abs ( proud or not of them ) on your phone, why should he?
You realize that not all pro life people are religious right?
Surveys find that Exs are the #2 (after coworkers) source of affair partners.
Therapists recommend zero contact. One, they are high risk to escalate during a rough patch .
Two, the emotional entanglement remains or is maintained by each contact (so she can't move on or be fully invested in you(.
Three, it's unfair to her life partner and undermines her marriage with you or her next husband.
Finally, their texts express romantic feelings even if one sided. She should have shut it down with zero contact long ago.
