To feel like fucking crying?

I wouldn't be mad at this poor DH must have been so unwell and not to mention embarrassed 😣

I’ve had to call a distant male relative to come and help me in similar circumstances. Now that was embarrassing!

Can’t believe that just because some people have managed to get to the loo on time, they can’t believe that others have different experiences. At my worst there is no way that I would have been capable of cleaning up.

Of course YANBU OP, blimey, that's horrible! I really feel for you and I was a nurse for 20 years and have cleaned up mega-tons of poo!
I agree he needs to see a doctor. Also, I'd be a bit cross he wasn't staying near enough to the loo to avoid soling everywhere and that if he's able to climb the stairs...well! Why isn't he staying in bed?
Are you able to pop out and get some loperamide/ Arrett tablets from the chemist, plus some Dioralite for the dehydration in the meantime? The loperamide will reduce the amount of defecation to enable you to "catch up" but he really does need medical attention if he's defecating that much. TBH I'm a bit baffled because I had a tummy upset a few months ago, but despite having a high temp and being as weak as a kitten, still managed to get to the loo in time to avoid soiling ANYTHING, never mind the bed and the carpets! God love you!
Perhaps some waterproof mattress protectors for your bed if he's like this? Has he always been prone to leaving messes for you to clean up? Is he by any chance a bit lazy? Obviously I have dealt with a lot of very sick people who couldn't help soiling their beds and/or clothes but they either weren't able to get out of bed or were suffering severe dementia. I find it odd that a mobile adult of sound mind would soil like this.
I hope it stops soon OP! He owes you big time for this!!!

We are quite literally traumatised by the last time we had Noro! My poor OH thought it was safe and sharted....thank god he was wrapped up in his duvet and the mattress was otherwise saved! He did however block the sink with sick whilst sat on the loo. Bathroom looked like a crime scene. One of the worst experiences of my life 😬

Haven't read the whole thread, but our DDog has previously had some tummy issues. I thought we would have to replace our carpet, but our brilliant steam cleaner ( which I think was about £70 from Argos a few years ago) absolutely got rid of all stains, and as far as I'm aware disinfected too. Would recommend.

I guess maybe the question is, should the situation be reversed and you have noro similarly badly...would he come home and clean up after you?
I mean, shit happens right..and I think cleaning up after someone who is ill is the considerate thing to do, but how many men would do it I wonder :)

Do you have accidental damage on your home insurance? It will potentially pay to replace the carpets and mattress

OP, how is he today?

I also wonder if some pps calling him lazy or abusive haven't had norovirus before. I've had a couple of severe episodes and at the height of it could barely crawl to the loo let alone start changing mattresses and scrubbing carpets ?!
I've also ended up in a&e on a drip before after a bug (abroad) because I became so dehydrated that I started fitting. Again, I wasn't in any position to start acting like Mrs Hinch 😂
Big hugs to you op it's awful - I hope he's better today.

I'm assuming it was one failed trip to the bathroom with a fair amount t of damage on the way.
He should now be camping out in the bathroom, or outside the door if it's too small. Pillow, blanket, iPad/ book whatever.
If you're cleaning jt Wear gloves and a mask and open windows op or you'll almost vertically catch it.

Then he needs to lie in the sofa downstairs.

this thread has cheered me up can it go in classic/

Really? 😳

I have crohns disease and can absolutely understand how this happens unfortunately. What I cant understand is why he's not helping with the clean up and dealing w his clothing.

Tbh yes it is vile and horrific, but how awful he must be feeling! I'd be so worried about him, I don't think any grown adult wants to do this. Is he normally a decent sort?!?

It's only happened that once in my nearly five decades of adulthood, but for those who think the the DH somehow did it deliberately, because this can't happen accidentally, think again and just be glad it hasn't happened to you.

But it sounds like
It's happened on more than one occasion and he's left the bathroom in between. Surely you'd stay there til you were confident you could leave without making even more mess?

I can understand soiled clothing from it happening once given your bathroom is on a different level but how on earth is it everywhere. Sounds deliberate

Sorry I'm absolutely agog! How the hell can a grown man go around his own house shitting like a baby with no nappy on. This completely beggars belief. I would have to leave the house even it meant sleeping in the car . I would be reading him the riot act and make him pay to replace everything. If you get it op I'm sure he won't help you to even so much as watch the kids. I honestly think I'd have to leave him for good at this point. Is he always this useless?

I'm more inclined to think most of the PP thickos on here are trolls not the OP. It really confuses me how people think "because I had x once" they're qualified to say whether it happened or not. People are generally weird AF on here. And I love it because I read a full thread about poo

I'm sorry but ill or not, there is really no excuse for him soiling BOTH sides of the mattress and making this level of mess. I can understand frequent accidents. I can understand some of the mess. I can even understand one side of the mattress. But after soiling one side of the mattress, he has had time to flip the mattress (or have you do it) and presumably fresh bedding, but not put towels down?

Nothing but sympathy for him having Noro, but this seems like he has no respect for you (or the risk of you getting it) or your house, which he is merrily spreading shit around.
