To be annoyed with DP for being sick on the floor?

On the way home tonight my DP said he was feeling a bit sick. I sorted dinner for our DC then took them upstairs to do bedtime while he lay on the sofa. I have no problem with doing this when he is feeling ill. Just finishing bath time and I hear him retching downstairs. He’s being sick on the dining room floor. Thankfully it’s a hard floor, but I can’t believe he didn’t make it another couple of metres to a sink or toilet. He continued to be sick on the floor while I was shouting down the stairs to him to get to the downstairs bathroom. Now it’s all gone quiet downstairs so I’m guessing he is back on the sofa and there is still sick on the floor. There is no way I am cleaning this up. Am I being unsympathetic? Or AIBU to be annoyed at him for being sick on the floor?

Hard to say, it's very hard to keep sick in sometimes so he may not have had a choice. I would clean it up if he's still unwell as I would not want to come down to the smell in the morning! Make sure he has a sick bucket near him in case he has a virus

Omg that’s pathetic! Understandable in a small child but not in a grown ass man. I wouldn’t be cleaning up after my partner if he did this.

I agree with you! I find it hard enough cleaning up the kids' sick. Tbh I would expect my 9 year old to make it to a toilet!

Sometimes vomit comes out before you have a chance to run.
agreed you shouldn’t have to clean it but bit of sympathy would be right
