Possible final straw with DH

I have name changed for this because I'm so embarrassed.

My DH went out with the lads last night, i don't know what time he got in as I was already asleep. This morning my alarm went off for work and I noticed the room smelt absolutely foul. I couldn't work out where it was coming from at first and thought the dog had messed in the house. I pulled the covers back and to my absolute horror, DH had fallen asleep next to me with no pants on and the bed was filled with what I can only describe as fecal confetti. I was absolutely repulsed and really really upset that he had got himself into such a state that this could happen.
As if things couldn't get any worse, the bathroom looked like it had been pebble-dashed - up the walls, over the edge of the bath, on the towels. I'm disgusted by him.
I didnt clean it up and he was still comatose when i left for work. He has texted me around midday wishing me a good day at work as if nothing has happened.
I don't want to go home and i don't even know where to begin discussing this with him,
WIBU to stay at a friend's tonight?

Today's update:
I'm at work now having spent the night in the hotel.
DH was texting me all night - he finally addressed the horrendous mess and I'm now even more livid. He only got his frickin mum to come round and clean it up! He's clearly told her the stomach bug story as I've had a message from her saying how out of order I am leaving her son alone while he's sick. I'm speechless! I don't get on with his mum at the best of times - in the past she has told me how lucky I am to be married to her son. Seriously????
I'm considering my options and may go and stay with my parents for a bit but that would mean having to take time off work as they're hours away. My head is still a mess.

Well now we know where he gets his entitlement from! What a silly cow.

If one of my adult ds's called to ask me to come round and clean up their shit I'd think they'd had a brain injury.

I'm more shocked at a woman in her 80s on an escort site 😳

Got to make up for losing their winter fuel allowance somehow. And it would seem there’s a market for it.

LostittoBostik · 06/02/2025 15:46

OP, reading that he got his mum to clean it up has really sickened me. I would leave him for that alone.

But on your updates: he's put your health at risk and lied to you. That's more than enough reason to terminate this relationship.

If his mum rings you up to beg you, tell her the truth about the sex worker.

Unbelievable indeed...

Couldn't make it up could you?!

Floralnomad · 06/02/2025 15:31

The update about the BJ is truly disgusting 🤢 , good on the friends wife for telling you . Is it possible to wfh in your job or do you get paid sick leave as it’s probably better to get signed off with stress rather than lie .

yourmaw · 06/02/2025 14:53

@BestMumAva .
Thats all the decision making been done for you then.
I wouldnt waste my time on his mum. She clearly merits the disrespect he demonstrates. - (Imagine TELLING your Ma?/far less get her clean up.!)
I think you do the right thing going to parents. The damage is done- got to process it now.Be gentle with yourself.

Only way from here is up.x

pointythings · 06/02/2025 14:46

It's time to line up those ducks, get a solicitor and divorce the dirty cheat. Honestly, your life will be so much better without him.

And you're allowed to be furious.

Truth25 · 06/02/2025 14:16

Please do tell his mum op. She needs to know about her precious boy

Yes, because otherwise the divorce and the issues around visitation with his DD are going to come as a horrible shock to her and she will just blame the OP. Better to have a complete understanding of the context, despite the shame.

I have a lot of sympathy for your situation, but this is a very odd comment....!

As disgusting as his behaviour is.... non of it is illegal or would ever warrant that kind of punishment.

Humour bypass alert!
When some idiot has cut me up on the roads I often fantasise about seeing their car upside down in a ditch a couple of miles further on and me driving by laughing. Would I do that? I don't know, I've never been in that position.

CarliLove35 · 06/02/2025 13:38

Ugh, my stomach churned just reading about his 'accident' - leave him to his mum, who clearly thinks he's a wonderful human being, and doesn't baulk at the idea of cleaning up her adult son's faeces.

As for the elderly escort - I'm surprised there's a market for elderly lady porn, but it takes all sorts, there are some weird fetishes about.

LTB.

Cattery · 06/02/2025 13:32

The shitting I could possibly get over if it wasn’t every time he went out but the old woman prozzie thing? He’d never see me or my children again.

BestMumAva · 06/02/2025 12:18

Another update - it gets even worse 😓
I had a call from H's best mate's wife. She's obviously heard about what happened, it seems H told best mate who then told her. She told me that there was something she had to tell me and that she felt awful that she hadnt told me before but didn't know what to do and her H had sworn her to secrecy.
It turns out DH DID do something with the sex worker. He justified it by saying it was, "just a blowie" , so didn't really count as cheating. I'm digusted! Apparently it all came about from some 'joke' between the lads of what it would be like to get a BJ from someone with no teeth. I want to vomit. How could I have been so stupid to believe him???? Has my whole marriage been a lie??
And I hadnt made a connection before between his mummy issues and this elderly woman - yuk! That makes it even worse!

I am going to stay with my parents even though it is a long drive and have told work my dad is sick & is an emergency so I can get some emergency leave.

thank you all for your support, i feel like an idiot, my head is a mess and i'm not sure where to go from here.

I’m so sorry. Have a time to reevaluate options while you’re with parents. I think dick head husband needs to go live with his Mammy

I imagine when he woke he was equally horrified. I sense a note of him not knowing what to say. If it’s out of character id feel more forgiving but still be horrified at the impact. I’ve heard of this after people (so called mates) spiking drinks and food. It may just have been the volume of hooch. If you feel the need to stay away it’s up to you but I imagine it wasn’t done on purpose. I’d be making sure that was never happening again and if a new mattress was needed etc including all the laundry. I’d want to check he was ok though sounds like a bowel apocalypse! Can I just commend you on your story telling though. You had me in stitches… the layers of desperate revelation… I feel for ya!

I really don't think the OP was trying to make this into a funny tale to be laughed at.. It was not "story" telling for a laugh.. And by the way you don't need to quote the whole OP, we know who you are replying to.

OP is clearly JOKING.... do you really think posting this is empathetic/supportive/helpful or even kind to her?
Nobody needs the 'speech police' to tell us off when we vent!

Springflowersmakeforbetterhours · 06/02/2025 12:48

He is a disgusting man. Please get sti checked...
And file for divorce.. The sense of relief will be huge...
Imagine never having to see his dm ever again?

TheAmusedQuail · 06/02/2025 12:43

@BestMumAva make sure you're keeping a record of all this (although I know it is horribly tattooed in your brain already) because some of this will be relevant when the issue of residency/custody of your daughter comes up. If he has a drink problem so extreme that he sh*ts all over your house to the extent his mother has to clean for him, and also that he uses prostitutes, he isn't fit to have sole charge of your daughter during visitation.

Coming to terms with all of this won't be easy I know. Sending love and support.

JustMyView13 · 06/02/2025 12:36

Sometimes I think men cannot lower the bar any further, and then in strolls someone willing and able.

So sorry this is happening OP. You won’t feel it now but you’ll look back one day grateful he ‘ate a dodgy curry’. Sometimes we just cannot see what is infront of us x

Rinkytoo · 06/02/2025 12:34

Oh OP, that’s awful. BUT you now don’t have to struggle with what decision to make - it has been made for you IMO - he has made it very easy for you now to tell him to fuck off. Dirty deceitful %|*~£#!
Why he’s told his mates what he did with the elderly sex worker, I have no clue, as surely to goodness they would find that disgusting not impressive or funny. He should be ashamed rather than banding the story around like some amusing anecdote.
Thank goodness for the mates wife finally telling you.
Youve quite rightly got the upper hand here OP and you can move on - the situation will be tough, but you can hold your head high while your soon2bXH lies in the gutter covered in his own shit.

MrsWinkly · 06/02/2025 12:30

The rest of your life starts now OP.
Whatever the future holds for you and your DD, it will be a million times better than life with this deviant, nasty piece of work x

arethereanyleftatall · 06/02/2025 12:29

Well on the plus side op, having read your mornings updates, there is no 'possibly' final straw about it.
He is repulsive.

Absolutely take leave for this.

Go to your parents and type in how to apply for divorce in to google whilst you're there.
