To cancel his holiday?

So, I took an annual leave day today, just because I wanted to "get on top of the house", which I did ALL day! From taking DS to school I didn't stop until 7pm when I had rehearsals for my amateur show (which is next week and the ONLY thing I do for me) DP said he was going out with the neighbour and could I pick him up? Yes, all done and picked him up, apparently he's agreed to go away for five days with his brother (he did ask, I said ok if we can afford it) in June, will cost about a grand, ( not all inclusive, just that he's a complete fecking lush). Picked him and neighbor up from pub and we go to pub across the road for 3 yes three drinks!! Head home to sleep to be woken up by him puking on me/phone/carpet and is a cheeky B! When I try to pish him into the en suite! I'm ducking fuming!!! I want a new fucking carpet! I'm downstairs in his coat smoking like fuck (because he hates it) bit think he should replace the carpet (and clean the clothes that are in the basket - yes I should have put then away) that's he has phkwd on! He's out for the count!!!

I thought that was only because she thought she needed some money for a new carpet and that he would have to use his holiday money?

Prior to that she had no problem with the holiday 'he's agreed to go away for five days with his brother (he did ask, I said ok if we can afford it)...'

Unless I'm missing something, OP now says 'I've calmed down and yes I realise replacing the entire carpet was over kill...'

OP could have said no to the holiday, or said it was too much money. But she didn't, she agreed to it so I don't think that's the problem here.

She also knows what he is like regarding drinking and housework, etc. and doesn't see that as a deal breaker. So, yes, she is happy with him as he is, provided she can have a little moan every now and again.

It's not for me and probably not for many others but plenty of people do live like that.

To me, the puking suggests there isn't a real problem with alcohol more that occasionally he doesn't know when to stop. IME alcoholics can drink themselves into a stupor, but don't make themselves sick.

Fair, yes that's what I meant, use money to buy a new carpet. He is sensible most of the time, and this morning I just needed to moan!!!!
