He's p*ssed on the bedroom floor

NC for obvious reasons.
I don't know why I'm even sharing this. I think I need to vent because I'm too embarrassed to tell anyone in person.
It's DS's birthday tomorrow (well, today now). DP went to the pub last night, absolutely no problem with that but I asked him not to be too late home because we still have all the wrapping to do, balloons etc.
Children finally fell asleep quite late because they were excited. I got ready for bed and then waited for DP to return. I waited and waited and it got to 10.30 and I was feeling very pissed off and tired so I thought I'm going to have to do this myself or I don't know what time I'll get to bed. Pretty much done by the time he gets back absolutely stinking of alcohol. I'm annoyed so I put the pressies up and he helps me blow up a couple of balloons. I go to bed.
Hour or so later he wakes me up drunkenly getting out of bed in the dark. Then I hear a funny noise, I turn my lamp on and he then opens the door and goes out to the toilet. It takes me a minute to process what the noise was and I realise it was him having a wee behind the bedroom door. It's everywhere. Stinky beer wee. He staggers back in and starts putting his clothes on top of it to try and blot it up. I just get him in to bed and start the clear up. It's all over the cream carpet, splattered up things and all over one of my slippers - it's drenched. He goes to sleep and I clear up as best I can for tonight, I don't want to wake the children.
I'm raging. Hours later I'm just laying here fuming and it's just dawned on me he drove home.
It's just like he has zero respect for me. I started a new job this week, I'm pretty drained. We have family coming over for dinner for DSs birthday. I asked him to do the food shop and the cooking for this birthday tea as I've done them for both children and him for the past 7 years. He scoffed at me and said 'its a Mum job' then reluctantly agreed. Bus has he done a food shop? Nope! That will be for me to do tomorrow - which I didn't want to do as it will be time away from my DS.
He just doesn't take on any of the mental load of anything. As I was wrapping the presents I thought to myself he has no idea what we've got (aside from the main present which he bought) . He hadn't had to think about them, buy them, hide them or even wrap them.
Has he done this on purpose because he knows I won't want to ruin the day tomorrow and 'be in a mood' as he says.
I'm so upset.

Fuck.that.You sound like you are doing everything. Honestly? Id seriously consider going it alone. You might as well carry on doing everything, but just for you and your children.One less set of clothes to wash, one less person's mess to clean up. One less meal to cook.

What's he bringing to your life except stress.

Attempting to make you feel bad because you're "in a mood" because he's pissed all over the bedroom and drove home drunk is so far beyond unreasonable behaviour, I don't even know what to say.

You've got one life to live, is this the life you want?

MaggieBsBoat · 23/11/2024 11:28

Well he doesn’t love you OP. Obviously.

I hope you have a lovely birthday with your son 🌟🌟🌟

localnotail · 23/11/2024 11:27

I literally cant understand people on here saying " I would forgive the weeing if it was a one off". Like, what? I can sort of understand someone being very drunk and weeing the bed, once, then feeling mortified, cleaning after themselves and never doing it again - but this was deliberate? He was not that drunk if he managed to get home, helped with balloons and then even tried to mop up the piss afterwards. He made a decision to piss on the floor, same as he is made a decision to drive home while drunk.

YourAmplePlumPoster · 23/11/2024 11:24

Get him out.

WimbyAce · 23/11/2024 11:24

Wow, the whole thing just gets worse as you read it. And now here you are rushing out early this morning on no sleep as he hasn't helped at all. I couldn't be with a man like this. He obviously brings zero to the table.

Livinglifetoday · 23/11/2024 11:20

Drunk driving is an abomination.The rest of the behaviour is deplorable. If this is a one off there may be ways to salvage this relationship. If not it might be time to consider whether you want him in your life.

MulberryMush · 23/11/2024 11:19

It's the drink driving that is the worst part of this . Tell him that next time you will report him and if he goes out drinking again he leaves his car keys at home and uses public transport. This is a deal breaker . Make him grovel at your feet for what he had done .

SuperfluousHen · 23/11/2024 11:15

Mine pissed in the corner of the bedroom while I was pregnant. I slept on the living room floor.

One Christmas Eve he went out with work mates. I struggled bringing bikes down out of the roof space. Finally rolled home in the wee small hours of Christmas morning.

so sorry, OP. I feel for you 😢

LivinInYourBigGlassHouseWithAView · 23/11/2024 11:11

It strikes me that you're concerned about him 'ruining the day' for you and your children when the reality is he's 'ruining your lives' with his behaviour.

I'd be showing him the door with his misogynistic, useless, man-child behaviour.

Angelofmycoins · 23/11/2024 11:07

That made me laugh sorry.
Another one here whose dh has done this but not foe many years now.

It starts young tho! Ds then 4 got out of bed in eurocamp caravan, could find loo ans pissed on dh in bed.

Yes only a child. But my female child has never done this!

MaloryJones · 23/11/2024 11:09

You are absolutely right to be so pissed off at Him

YANBU at all

OhBeAFineGuyKissMe · 23/11/2024 11:09

You have nothing to be embarrassed about. You didn’t drink drive or piss the floor.

Don’t keep his secrets for him

Spidey66 · 23/11/2024 11:07

That's bad. It would be bad enough on hard floor but carpet is awful to clean up. I would be a little more sympathetic if he was in a hotel or something and was a bit disoriented, but there's no excuse at home.

Angelofmycoins · 23/11/2024 11:07

Haveacuppaandwaitforthistoblowover · 23/11/2024 04:12

Why the fuck is it always men who piss on the floor and act like animals?? I have never read of a woman doing this especially leaving a man to sort out all the birthday stuff while she went out and got rat arsed!
Sure, there are some shit mothers out there but THIS never seems to happen!

I'd be raging too OP! Hope you manage to make a good day of it and hope your twat of a husband is sincerely apologetic! If he isn't then you have an answer!

That made me laugh sorry.

Pottlee · 23/11/2024 10:29

Why are we mothering these men?! You put him back to bed and started to clean it up?! WHAT?! Absolutely not! The dirty creature should be cleaning it up himself!

Exactly. I had an acquaintance whose partner would sleep in the bath after a night out because he always got too drunk and always peed himself. She went on to have a baby with him (possibly more by now), and I couldn't help but think she would then have 2 babies to look after, including him!
DP has been sick once after having a bit too much, and I helped him clean up. He has done it for me once as well, but we didn't let ourselves get into such a state again, the wasted day feeling rubbish afterwards was enough to put us off!

You need to call a serious at the kitchen table talk with him and tell him everything and if that doesn’t work , leave him!

Anywherebuthere · 23/11/2024 11:00

Gross.

How can you stand to be in a relationship with someone as gross, nasty and selfish as that.

As others have said you need to do some serious thinking once the birthday is over

CouchSweetPotatoes · 23/11/2024 10:58

@MyrtleStrumpet if this is not his rock bottom, he has further to go, do you want to follow him down there?

Very wise words there.

EdithBond · 23/11/2024 10:58

@Girlmath No wonder you needed to vent! So wrong on so many levels.

I remember my ex said once “What have we got my sister?”. That’s his sister. For Xmas. On 24 December. It was the ‘we’ that had me laughing hysterically.

He also didn’t even do stuff when I asked him. Not that I should have had to. He was an adult. But just didn’t do it. Never said he wouldn’t. Never let me know he hadn’t got round to it or might struggle to get it done. Just didn’t do it. With no communication. Like your DP with the shopping.

Needless to say he’s my ex. And he never drunk drove, pissed on the bedroom floor or told me things were for mums to do.

You need to have a serious chat with your DP. Starting with why he doesn’t seem to believe parents have to take responsibility. Both parents. Sounds like he has a lot of work to do on himself.

Anotherparkingthread · 23/11/2024 03:53

You need to leave him. He's a drunk, he's sexist, and he doesn't love you or your children.

He drove home in that state. This is the worst part of the whole story because he could have killed somebody. Somebody innocent, with their own family waiting for them at home. He is a price of shit. Report him for it and get his license suspended. He isn't responsible enough to drive.

The pissing is absolutely fucking disgusting. Throw his piss soaked clothes into a bin bag, if you're feeling really petty throw in a bunch of his other stuff. Throw the bin bag outside so it isn't around for the party. It's his problem to deal with. Do not wash or dry them. Clean the carpet though because he will do a shit job of it.

Cook at the party but make sure there is none for him, he can fend for himself all day. Make sure it's noisy because he will have quite the hang over. Don't speak to him.

Once you have ensured the kids have had an amazing day. Tell him you no longer want to be married to somebody who has so little respect for their family or even self respect, to come home in that state on his DC birthday, and piss all over the floor. Tell him that as you do all the women's work, and the house runs pretty smoothly without his input, it can continue to do so in his absence.

Honestly this man is not a catch he's a pig. Throw him away he's trash.

This! ⬆️

DuckbilledSplatterPuff · 23/11/2024 10:55

@Girlmath
You sound like a lovely mum. From your posts you've been up most of the night and upset and getting up at the crack of dawn to make up for the things he hasn't done so that your boy can have a good birthday.

Just focus on getting through the day and enjoying your lovely son and his birthday. Those things are the most important in the long run.

There's quite an angry tone in some of these posts, but I just wanted to say its not directed at you. Of course you cleaned up - who could sleep with pee sinking into the carpet.
I think he's really shown you who he is, it seems to be a universal thing that people do things like this at important times in our lives, times which should be a celebration... birthdays and Christmas... those days seem to bring it all to a head, although as you are probably taking stock of it now, its been there for a while, but life is busy and we carry on with the day to day chores.
It sounds like you have a big family and you have your lovely son who will all be with you today. I agree with pp who said leave the useless twit at home to clear up and enjoy spending your time today with those who are important to you.
Everything else can wait for another day.

Gettingbysomehow · 23/11/2024 10:55

It must be like having some kind of farm animal in the house. I couldnt live with a man like this.

TicTac80 · 23/11/2024 10:51

He disgusting and YANBU! I'd be furious.

I'm divorced now (I divorced him) but stupidly put up with this nonsense for bloody years: multiple events ruined by him, me scrambling to try and sort childcare (I was the breadwinner) after he went AWOL etc. I tried everything to get XH help etc, but none of it worked. I even chucked him out one Xmas Eve after he went AWOL and then came back paralytic. Stupidly, even after all of the crap, I still thought that if we separated, then he'd have the space to get sober/clean and we could work on marriage. By that point he had also found an OW. Don't be me: I should have LTB about 5yrs before. It was actually a thread on here that made me realise that I could actually leave/end things/put in stricter boundaries (hence me throwing him out on Xmas Eve). I quietly watched it for months whilst I got my shit together (and my head together!).

Make your plans on the quiet, diarise all the nonsense he has pulled/is pulling and then LTB. I've been single ever since. XH doesn't have the DC (or pay for them - he's too unreliable for work), and I may be skint...but I wouldn't change one bit of my current life. It's bloody amazing and so peaceful. No disgusting, abusive, drunk man about to make our lives hell and cause nonstop chaos; no worrying about having to clear up trashed rooms after he wrecked them when drunk. No worrying about whether I'll get disciplined at work because of being late/having to dash home because he's pissed and can't look after the kids. It's bloody wonderful :)

Thelaundryfairyhasbeenassassinated · 23/11/2024 10:44

Wishing your son a happy birthday.

I am so sorry you cleaned up after a grown drunken man piss. With everything you have said I don't see how things could get much worse tbh. He has shown he will literally piss everywhere and do as he pleases. Using his son as guarantee for your reasonable compliance.

Try and enjoy your son birthday. When your ready think long and hard on if you ever want to risk experiencing this again. Xx

vitahelp · 23/11/2024 10:43

I don’t understand why you are still with this person. You know you don’t get to re-do your life and your children will never be this age again, don’t let him continue to ruin special moments like this.
