We were both invited to a birthday gathering at his friends last night. I said for him to go, I didn't want to faff about with a babysitter for DS so stayed home. It wasn't a late one, they were intending on getting taxis out of town to go to a nightclub, DP said he wasn't going, we can't afford it anyway.

He told me it was possible a few of his mates would be going to the local pub, he said he would phone me if he was or to otherwise expect him at 10.30ish.

He phones me around this time to say he was heading home soon but whilst he was on the phone, his friend said he and his girlfriend were going to the local and invited DP to join. I said I didn't mind, he told me it would only be the one as he didn't want to take money out of the cashpoint. I said fine, went to bed half hour later.

My phone rings at 00.45, I ignore and see it's DP. Can't be bothered to answer so leave it. He then phones the landline twice, knowing he shouldn't do as it often wakes DS so I realise he must be a bit drunk and I didn't want a conversation with DP whilst he was.

Cue 3.30am. I hear this ruckus going on dowstairs, sounds like DP had brought people back. At this moment I'm a bit Hmm and listen out for him. There was no talking but heard DP practically bounce off the walls going up the stairs then a loud thud outside the bedroom. Moments later, I hear light snoring.

Deciding to brave it, I got out of bed and opened the door. There on the landing is DP passed out. I then notice blood all over the carpet and discover he has cut up his hands. I lift his head to see a large lump next to eye coupled with a nice graze. At this point I'm irritates that he woke me up and that he has evidently gotten so drunk, he's fallen over. I realise there is a draft, look dowstairs to see the front door wide open. And a lovely blood and mud trail up the cream carpet stairs. Well now I'm officially livid. Then to top it off my talking to DP through gritted teeth (he's still passed out so I'm more talking to myself) I wake DS. So I go in and settle him. Faced with DP again, I manage to drag him into the bedroom and leave him by the bed. I then get back into bed and after silently raging for half hour finally fall asleep.

About 20 minutes ago, I heard DP stirring. I looked over to find him trying to stand up. He falls into the computer desk, then my dressing table and against the wall. I try to help him, thinking he wanted to get into bed so pull him forward onto it. He just climbed back off and, after much effort, left the bedroom. I peer round to see he has walked into the living room (we're in an upstairs flat) and think he is going to sleep on the sofa so leave him to it. 2 seconds later, I can hear he has finally taken his coat off but then hear the sound of him taking a piss.

I ran into the living room to see him pissing all over his laptop on the coffee table which is now running down and onto a few toys of DS's. I push him to attract his attention but he just turns and carries on pissing all over the rug. So after a few choice swear words from me I lilerally drag him to bed and shove him in. Now he is fast asleep, I've had to clear up a full grown adults piss and now I'm too angry to sleep.

He's going to be too hungover to get any sense out of so would I be unreasonable to piss off with DS tomorrow and stay at my mums with him tomorrow night? I'm beyond angry with that fucking fuckwit to even want to see his face tomorrow.

It's not the first time, it's practically every time he goes out he gets past the point of rationality. This is the worst but not the first time he has come home covered in blood. I'm fed up with it. Cleaning the bedsheets is one thing but to get blood and mud all over our lovely cream carpet... Why? Why the fuck does he need to get in such a state?

Sorry, huge rant but needed to get it out.

Heswall, she can't tell the insurance that the baby knocked water all over the computer. My ds knocked juice over my laptop and the insurance company insisted on collecting it and having looked over before telling me it was beyond repair and paying for a new one. They will be able to tell the difference between water and piss and if the OP lies, she could face serious consequences.

I have been known to have a drink, but have never come home and pissed all over my house.

newbiedoobiedoo and save your Hmms, i was making a valid point about their relationship

i agree - if you can't wake him up, off to a&e or phone nhs direct. or 999. whichever you feel more comfortable with.

newbiedoobiedoo · 22/01/2012 10:17

Honey if I'm honest, yes I would be concerned first, mad later. But I don't get a lack of concern from her posts tbh. I get that she's very, very pissed off but I haven't seen anything that says she cares MORE about the carpet? I'm sure she'll check that he's ok. She's even said upthread that she will take him to A&E and then go to her mum's.

I'd still unleash hell about my carpet once he was ok!

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 22/01/2012 10:18

i was saying i was worried about it for her sake too, life's too short to be living with someone who makes you totally unhappy

newbiedoobiedoo · 22/01/2012 10:19

Yes fanjo I am a bit Hmm at wondering about the state of their relationship based on her being annoyed that he came in ridiculously drunk and pissed all over their home and she got upset about it!

Is it not true that you should be more concerned about head injuries when there's no bump or is that just a myth/for babies?!

Snakeonaplane · 22/01/2012 10:20

I would never ring an ambulance for my relative who I knew to be drunk, sit up all night watching them yes, make sure the had plenty of water yes, put them in the recovery position yes, ring an ambulance, nope afraid not and yet every night people drink themselves into a stupor and then when they pass out people panic and call an ambulance. I agree a head injury is different.

All I'm saying is that people should leave the OP alone, she can assess the situation and decide if it's an emergency, people on computer screen can not.

HoneyandHaycorns · 22/01/2012 10:20

God yeah, I'd be unleashing hell about the carpet later, I'd just want to get him checked out first. Maybe I missed the post about the OP taking him to A&E.

TBH, this would be a dealbreaker for me if I were in the OP's situation. I wouldn't want my kids growing up around a father who repeatedly behaved in this way.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 22/01/2012 10:20

no, i wasnt worried by that, I was worried by the total contempt she appears to have for him and that she didn't actually seem to care at all about his injuries, very far from a healthy situation IMO

so Hmm right back at ya Wink

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 22/01/2012 10:21

Snakeonaplane..well, if she wanted us to leave her alone..or rather, not show concern/have opinions about it..maybe posting in AIBU wasn't the best idea? hmm?

newbiedoobiedoo · 22/01/2012 10:23

:D Fair enough Fanjo!

I do think she posted in the midst of her anger though and I assume(hope) that she will check he is ok??

newbiedoobiedoo · 22/01/2012 10:23

That :D should have been Grin

Snakeonaplane · 22/01/2012 10:26

Yes but she didn't post Aibu not answering my phone or getting dh medical assistance did she? She posted for support that her dhs behaviour was completely unacceptable.

What she has got is people making judgements about her whole relationship and told off for not answering his pissed up calls and not taking him to A&E.

MadWomanAboutTheHouse · 22/01/2012 10:27

Honestly, looking at his injuries now, they aren't serious. He has grazed his hand but it looks worse than it is. I've spoken to him, he doesn't remember anything, denies his injuries and pissing everywhere. I said the evidence is in the bin and on the carpet.

So Ive left, at my mums, and will phone him in a couple of hours.

AnnieLobeseder · 22/01/2012 10:29

If my DH ever got that drunk and behaved so absolutely appallingly, I would forgive it maybe once. If it ever happened again it would be a deal-breaker. Maybe because I'm not from the UK, so drinking so much is a bit foreign to me, but that behaviour is 100% unacceptable from an adult with a partner and child. That's how students behave, not grownups. Disgusting. He had better clean that entire mess up by himself. I'd stay at your mum's until he tells you the house is spotless.

HoneyandHaycorns · 22/01/2012 10:30

Glad he seems ok, OP. And hope that you are ok too!

If you have no reason to worry about him, I wouldn't bother calling later if I were you! Let him sweat! Or are you checking in to be sure that he really is ok?

rainbowinthesky · 22/01/2012 10:30

I agree with Annie.

Snakeonaplane · 22/01/2012 10:30

That's good Mad. Give him sometime he'll still have loads of alcohol in his system and won't be thinking clearly. Later on he should be wearing his feet to the knees kissing your toes, if not he is an arse and you have a bigger problem Smile

HoneyandHaycorns · 22/01/2012 10:30

Annie, I am from the uk, but I'm with you!

GypsyMoth · 22/01/2012 10:31

He's denying it?

Well be prepared to take the flak for breaking his laptop, and be prepared to clean the carpets yourself. How many children have you got??

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 22/01/2012 10:32

newbie - yes, you are right (about the head injury) but a bump isn't good either.

The fuckwit needs checking out and definitely should not be left alone.

newbiedoobiedoo · 22/01/2012 10:36

Thanks chipping.

OP, I would check in with him later (probably because I'm a bit of a pushover!) but I agree with Annie, Honey et al. This sort of behaviour is ok once, maybe twice if you're in your teens but every time he goes out? It's absolutely not on and I wouldn't be rushing home either. :(

MadWomanAboutTheHouse · 22/01/2012 10:39

The lump has gone down. There was no bleeding from his head, only his hand. Yes, there is blood on bed, floor, carpet, even the door handle when I left.

He seemed coherent enough, I checked on him 3 times since 7 this morning, he just wants to be left to sleep off the hangover Hmm

Which is why I'm no longer concerned for him and at my mums. It seems she saw him in the pub last night, said he was fine and that they left at 1, I guess he was phoning to tell me he had seen my mum and to converse about that.

So, I think he is fine medically, our relationship on the other hand is hanging by a thread. I'll phone him in a few hours to make sure he is ok and then talk about what happened (I've left him a note listing all the damage by the bed) and hopefully get a bit of sense from him.

Showmethemhappyfeet · 22/01/2012 10:40

ahh this sounds so familiar! But my DPs isn't due to drinking, he's a terrible sleepwalker, iv had to clean pee off every carpet in the house, must say the time he pissed at the top of the stairs, right down them was by far the most irritating!!
No advice, just I know how much you want to stab him in the eye at 4am!!!!Angry
