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.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. But, what an absolute loser he is!! Waste of space - I would be furious and simply wouldn't tolerate this disgusting behaviour. Get the party out of the way, then think about whether you want to live like this.

Who are the 2% of people who say you're unreasonable????

Peopleinmyphone · 23/11/2024 09:16

I'd honestly show him this thread and all the replies

Killingoffmyflowersonebyone · 23/11/2024 09:16

I couldn’t get over the drink-driving and that would be the end of the relationship for me. He’s lucky he didn’t kill someone.

ThreePointOneFourOneFiveNine · 23/11/2024 09:15

I’m so sorry OP, that’s just awful. Get through the day as best you can and then make plans for your next move tomorrow. No one should be treated like this.

My first DH was an alcoholic. He often got so drunk he didn't know what he was doing, although thankfully wasn't a driver. One of the abiding memories I have is him sitting on the edge of the bath and defecating into it because he was so drunk he thought it was the toilet.
I left him because of his drinking.

Your DP obviously has a drink problem. I think the pp who suggested help lines like Al anon was very helpful. But given what you have said about his misogynistic attitude and his contempt for you I do wonder if your relationship is worth saving.

I hope today goes as well as it can do for your birthday boy and yourself. And your DP doesn't find another way to spoil things.

Then it's thinking about the future time OP. Best wishes to you.

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 23/11/2024 09:14

The pissing on the floor grim but I could maybe get over it as a one off.

The drink driving , dealbreaker for me. My friend was hit by a drunk driver, fortunately survived but lost both her legs.

My ex pissed on my baby's cot when I was 38 weeks pregnant and all the clothes. I stayed another miserable 10 years. Things didn't get better.

OMG I am so sorry

Scentedjasmin · 23/11/2024 09:12

Just to add that you sound like an amazing devoted Mum doing all that you can (new job, getting up early to do the food shop so that you can spend extra time with your DS (personally I would have a lie in though and make DH walk to the shops or order food in). If you need to go it alone, you will make it work.

Paulie1981 · 23/11/2024 09:12

Whats his drinking like normally? Does he have form for this?

The absolute shit that women tolerate to be in a relationship bewilders me.

This and the life children have to witness, op do you honestly think this is healthy?

Ivyiris · 23/11/2024 09:10

I feel so sorry for you op. You clearly are such a fantastic mum and want your son to have the best day. You are now going to have him and being very tired hanging over your son's day. It sounds like you deserve much better.

Weyohweyoh · 23/11/2024 09:06

He sounds hideous, but the drunk driving is absolutely unforgivable and I would report him for that. Too many innocent people are killed by selfish bastards like him and he will do it again unless he faces some consequences.

LadySad · 23/11/2024 09:06

Just to give a different perspective

My DH has never driven drunk. Hard no on that. I am not commenting on the abdicating his responsibilities either.

However - He did pee on the floor in a corner once. It was 24 years ago and the carpet was new. He tried to clean it up with toilet roll but he was too drunk to think straight. He was very embarrassed the next day and cleaned up properly. 24 years later he isn't an alcoholic and he rarely drinks to excess (3 or 4 cans on a Friday or Saturday night). I think the weeing incident was actually a bit of a turning point in his relationship with alcohol. So the weeing in its own is disgusting but not inevitably a sign that he is going to become a shuffling alcoholic.

Scentedjasmin · 23/11/2024 09:04

That's really awful. If it was an absolute one off and he is mortified today and tries so hard for a very long time, and was an otherwise good partner and Dad, then I could probably just about move on from that. However, he knew that it was your son's birthday before even going to the pub. The drink driving in unforgivable. That would make it much harder to get over. The woman's work aspect doesn't endear him does it. So, combined together, I don't think that i could get passed this, even if he was prepared to significantly change. I think that you would be better off without him.

I had a father who would drink too much and occasionally piss everywhere and be sick and as a teenager I would clean up after him. You definitely don't want your kids becoming aware of that sort of behaviour. You need to think about them too.

Rocksaltrita · 23/11/2024 09:04

Report him for drunk driving this morning. He’s likely still over the limit.

Dreamskies · 23/11/2024 09:02

At first I thought the pissing on the floor was going to be the main point of the thread, and I was already disgusted and raging on your behalf. But with the rest of the revelations… wow! Get the hell out of there!

You don't have to put up with this, there are men around who don't treat their partners in this fashion. You deserve much better

Upandleaving · 23/11/2024 08:58

Oh and I've conbutied to bills over years he's not paid them all

Pinkissmart · 23/11/2024 08:56
