To feel like fucking crying?

Has he stopped shitting yet OP?

If he knew he was unwell he should have stayed next to or in the loo. Or at very very least kept a bucket by him. Or any bloody container. This is not about shit. The clothes not in the shower signal that.

Thought you were a troll but just seen the pictures. He needs to clean it, if it was you I'm sure you would still be cleaning it. Tell him he needs to sit/lay next to the bathroom until he is better . Give him some water and a pillow

Surely the 'shit' is contained within his pants? They can be taken off and thrown away. Is he a cat or dog and merely walking around shitting. Use the toilet, sit on it for an hour if necessary. Wear pants to catch and jogging bottoms.

How odd for a grown man to do this. Walking around with a trail of shit behind him. Tell him to sit down and sit still. Clean up his own mess.

Sadly, if you’ve been the one to clear it up, chances are you’ll get it too.

@redbigbananafeet it did. Scroll back, I posted it as well

This is odd behaviour, once with noro I thought it was wind, it was not! But it didn’t go beyond my underwear and pj’s.

Oh for Christ's sake what on earth do you think someone typed into Google Images to find that? Get a grip

Well, I know what I'd type if I were looking for it. Seems pretty obvious.

But I was thinking it was a dark mark and could be anything, not that OP had image searched for it. I also wasn't the one asking for the pictures, although I did click on them so I suppose I got what I deserved.

OP, I’d move him off the sofa now and insist he camps out in the bathroom. The last thing you need is a sofa accident or for the sitting room carpet to get splattered too. From now until his bowels solidify, he lives in the bathroom with a duvet on top (a duvet you’re willing to burn later).

Kids can skip bath/brush their teeth in the kitchen. You can have a kitchen pit wash. DH budges into the kitchen or anywhere with a moppable floor for you and kids to use the loo, then he goes back into the bathroom. No more soft furnishings for him.

I also think he should get another opinion, once is understandable with noro but repeatedly absolutely is not.

@stuntbubbles

This is hard to imagine to be an accident. I have a partner with a chronic health condition which impacts his continence, and I while I have definitely helped with washing bedsheets before it is hard to see how someone could get the amount of shit around you are describing unless it was deliberate. Every very loose stools would be largely absorbed by underpants and trousers, surely? And even sick, it would be normal for the person who made the mess to clear it up.

*OP’s husband’s norovirus

Man not engaging brain. He should have thought to stay near the bathroom but didn’t.
First, wear a mask and gloves when cleaning up but I suspect it’s too late and you’ll probably catch it too.
Bleach for the bathroom, disinfectant and/or white vinegar for everywhere else.
If you have a Dettol spray use that liberally on everything including doors and door handles, taps.
Chuck any towels he’s used in the washing machine.
Any soiled clothing put through a cold wash first, then as hot awash as it can take with detergent and I’d chuck in vinegar too. ( I use a lot of vinegar!!)
Put washing machine on a rinse at the end.

You should be able to save mattress if it’s professionally cleaned or you can use a Vax or similar on it.
I sympathise, I am clean up animal poo anytime but human’s….. no way.

But tbf, I once worked in a hotel with a gastro virus outbreak and the mess was unbelievable....... Vomit and s**t everywhere, all the toilets overflowing. It seemed to strike without warning.

Some of the comments here are so harsh. If OP’s norovirus is really that bad then it’s horrific but understandable that one accident may have erm… dripped? From the bed all the way down the stairs to the bathroom.

Yes he should have camped out in the bathroom like most people with noro would but an accident is an accident, however grim it is.

@WeirdlyKind
Get a professional carpet cleaner in, they’ll be able to deal with it easy. As for the mattress I suppose it depends how bad it is.
I’d get a new one and in future, always put a mattress topper on - they add extra luxury and double up as a mattress protector in this sort of incidence!
Keep going OP, it sounds like you’re having a really awful time of it!

Why is your loo being tiny 'part of the problem' toilet bowls are the same regardless of the size of the room. Stop feeding him. He must be eating a lot to ruin bedding, a mattress and 2 carpets. Pop troll

[quote TonyBlairsLover]@DrSbaitso clearly it’s a shit mark[/quote]
I just realised there are two photos, including one of the marked mattress as well as the carpet and thumbs up.

It could be fake, but if so, I do commend OP for the level of effort. It deserves to be taken seriously for that alone.

And if that's real, you do have my sympathy OP, and I think he needs to see a doctor. I've never known a compos mentis adult, however sick with noro, to have accidents like that.

First of all, get him off the couch before he ruins that aswell....or cover it in binliners. He should be sitting in the bathroom until he's better. He can leave when someone else needs it.
It's ridiculous to keep on shitting around the house. Once is an accident - what he's done is irresponsible and disgusting. He'll be spreading it to the rest of you too.
