Another weekend and another drunken DP ‘performance’

I’ve had very broken sleep so I apologise in advance for any grammatical errors!!

There has been a trend over about a year now of DP going out once a month with friends and getting hammered, his behaviour when returning home has increasingly worsened though. We don’t live together but when he goes out he usually comes back to mine to stay for the weekend as I live centrally close to where the pubs are.

Last night, he returns about 1am and wakes me up asking if I can ‘see to him’. I say no and go back to sleep, he says he will sort himself out.

I hear loads of crashing about so am woken at least twice, and he says he’s sleeping on the sofa. After yet more noise, I go into the living room and he’s naked, there’s a massive wet patch on my sofa, which he said is because he ‘sorted himself out’ - he was still pissed at this point.

I go ballistic and tell him I want him gone first thing. He’s still on the sofa now. I am not overreacting here am I?! It’s my flat which I worked hard to afford and he treats it like this.

I mean, just why?

why is being with a bloke so so important that you’d put up with this revolting entitled behaviour? I don’t get it.

assuming he’s absolutely wonderful the rest of the time, here’s what I’d do ‘No, you can’t stay here, you wake me up, are deeply unpleasant, and cum on my sofa. No thanks.’

regards to your friend who thinks this is funny, tell her to raise her bar.

Your friend has revoltingly low standards. Would she like his mess on her furniture?

well the other friend is welcome to him!

I’ve had two close friends give opposing views this morning already. One mirrors many replies here, the other says if it’s quite funny and he will be mortified when he wakes..

Would she think it was funny if it was her sofa?

And anyway some women’s bar is in the gutter. Don’t listen to her. Imagine this and having to be doing all the childcare while he sleeps off his hangover and you have to avoid the children getting his cum on their hands. It’s so grim.

godmum56 · 25/07/2026 09:03

take his key off him and kick him out TODAY

Eeeuuuggh! Get rid of the wank stain and the wankertron

Bogstandardname · 25/07/2026 08:59

How could you possibly consider a future with this man. You really need look up instead of down. Take his key, show him the door which will never be open to him again.

PatchworkCow · 25/07/2026 08:59

It's you again, isn't it, OP? The one with the utter cunt of a partner who's already done all kinds of utterly disrespectful stuff that's shows he DGAF at all about you. Why are you still with him, where's your respect for yourself to continue letting him treat you like this? Go through his pockets/wallet, take any cash towards sofa cleaning/new sofa preferably if there's enough (he can have the spunky one, disgusting cretin). Don't bother with the row, just don't mention it and let him think he spent it whilst drinking. Then block him! I don't care even if you're pig ugly with the personality of a dead worm, you can still do better than him OP.

Don't give him chances to change. He doesn't need changes to change. You don't want a project, you want a MAN, a fully formed adult with a basic respect for his own species. If that's not what he is now at his age, he's never going to be it. Don't get caught in the cycle of endless "second chances". A second chance only comes once, after that it's just a pattern of him disrespecting you and you accepting it.

greenjojocat · 25/07/2026 08:58

Gross. Get rid!

Dollymylove · 25/07/2026 08:58

Ew thats disgusting. Get rid!!

cloudtreecarpet · 25/07/2026 08:58

I think it's easy to question why the OP is with him but if you love someone and this isn't who they are all the time, it's easy to let things like this go. I did so I understand it.

BUT I ignored those things at my peril & looking back I wish I hadn't. Back in those days people didn't really talk about red flags but this is a massive one & it will get worse and it will affect your life, OP, if you stay with him & he doesn't change.

You need to have a long talk with him, lay your cards on the table, and be prepared to walk if things don't change & change quickly.

Loubissou · 25/07/2026 08:56

Is this the first time there has been the pissing/jizzing on the sofa? Is this the opportunity for a 'come to Jesus' conversation about his behaviour and that if it ever happens again that you are done (and mean it)? I would be including the regular excess alcohol abuse in that conversation.

He should replace your sofa too.

The alternative is jump straight to dumping him.

I'm sorry op but he's using your house as a place to go after a night out , he doesn't respect you or your sofa, break up with him .

I agree. He is using her sadly. I wouldn't want him turning up late at night pissed once a month.
This will only get worse if you move in together.

I don't see this relationship working out due to his lack of respect.

He won't be mortified at all. I would be very surprised if he was capable of "sorting himself out" in that state so I suspect he's peed your couch. Either way he's disgusting . Your choice.

momager22 · 25/07/2026 08:55

Jesus Christ he’s revolting. I couldn’t bear to be around a man like that. Pestering you sex and soiling your property? Absolutely do not move in with him and get rid.

31, we had discussed living with each other in the future.

FFS don't do that he's a wanker literally
Gets pissed comes to yours cums on the sofa.
Get rid he's an idiot.

Lexy2345 · 25/07/2026 08:54

Ugh. What an unfortunate specimen of mankind. Tell him to fuck off forever.

Justonemorething82 · 25/07/2026 08:54

Get rid but not before taking the key and checking his wallet to pay for a steam clean. I’d be tempted to throw the whole thing in a bush and give him the wake up call he so obviously needs. (Aside from being dumped that is). “Oh, I don’t remember, I was drunk!”

TheThirteenthFairy · 25/07/2026 08:53

I voted 'unreasonable'. This is who he is, this is what he does, and you welcome him into your home 'because I live centrally close to where the pubs are'. In other words, because it is convenient for him. It is within your power to stop this, but will you? You must be getting something you need out of this.

Eddielizzard · 25/07/2026 08:53

Disgusting. I wouldn't allow that to happen again

Lilactimes · 25/07/2026 08:52

I think you have answered for yourself @Heatwavefry

He is making you annoyed.. angry even... and disturbing you and poss even giving you the ick. You don't need our opinions - get rid of him as he's not right for you x x

Glittertwins · 25/07/2026 08:51

ExplodingSmittens · 25/07/2026 08:18

I think you’re under reacting personally. All of this he has a choice in. He chose to get so drunk, he chose to stay at yours, he chose to do that to your sofa and not clean it up. I thought you were going to say that you’d kicked him out last night.

This!

Why do keep allowing him to stay in your home when he's out on his drunken benders? What's the old saying? "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..."...

Or better yet: what keeps you with this man? I genuinely couldn't be attracted to this drunken mess of a "man". Just, yuck...adult "men" pissing themselves, I couldn't respect or be attracted to this...

Funchythesnowwoman · 25/07/2026 08:50

Some women are so desperate to be in a relationship that they will tolerate the worst behaviour from a man.

Johnson85 · 25/07/2026 08:39

Obviously a bit rude and thoughtless of him, and binge drinking and related behaviours arent nice or attractive. Should slow down as you get older, no worsen.

But having a wank and getting it on the sofa really doesn't seem that serious to me. People saying 'dump him' are being ridiculous. Tell him you find it rude and thoughtless to ejaculate on the sof

Not ridiculous, just have standards. Enjoy your crusty cum couch that stinks of piss when there’s a couple of kids later down the line. After all, it’s just a bit of giggles 🤢.

The shit people say on here, honestly.
