Drunk DP sleeping in the bed

209 replies

Janefromdowntheroad · 15/05/2016 08:31

Do you ask your DP to stay downstairs when he comes in drunk? Do you sleep downstairs?

Every bloody time DP comes in he tries to come upstairs even after I asked told him not too.

I hate the smell of stale alcohol on the sheets, DD is still co-sleeping at 13 months (we do have a super king and she's on my side so not really an issue)

He comes in last night at 1am and I can hear him creeping upstairs. Stumbles over the doorstep and starts getting unchanged. I told him to go downstairs. He starts moaning its cold down there and he's going straight to sleep. DD wakes up Angry. I manage to fall back asleep and then he's moving around in the bed because he can't get comfortable. I told him to fuck off downstairs. He starts telling me about his night because he's pissed and isn't listening. I told him to shut up and go to sleep. Twenty minutes later I wake up to him throwing up out of the window Angry. Woke up properly this time and told him to go back downstairs and that he isn't sleeping up there with us if he's that pissed that he's being sick. He ends up ranting about 'not being able to sleep in his own his in his own house', 'work all week and can't even sleep in his own bed'. Basically just being a twat because he's drunk.

This happens every bloody time he goes out. I don't think its unreasonable to expect him to stay downstairs when he's pissed.

AIBU?

DaveCameron why are you pretending that anyone has said getting drunk alone is abusive behaviour?

Is there a reason you want to pretend posters have written things they haven't?

MistressMerryWeather · 15/05/2016 09:44

I'm not sure why you two are missing the point?

Getting drunk isn't the problem, getting so drunk that you disturb your sleeping children and vomit out a window is fucking ridiculous.

Does your wife do that Dave?

wolfwhistleme · 15/05/2016 09:44

I love your description of the hairy arsed tree surgeons! Whooo hooo! Seriously though co sleeping having had copious amounts of alcohol isn't good.

No one said that and no one said she should leave him, are you ok? Confused

DaveCamoron · 15/05/2016 09:45

Forgive me if I am wrong but JonSnowsBeardClippings seemed to be implying that getting pissed is abusive behaviour.

DaveCamoron · 15/05/2016 09:46

Of course I'm okay Hmm

Gowgirl · 15/05/2016 09:47

Seriously op give him hell, but if you just came on here for a rant don't take the posts too seriously, there are active threads on here concerning abuse that are harrowing. I think your dp has been a twat but it's not a LTB thread.Smile

RedToothBrush · 15/05/2016 09:47

The problem with mumsnet is I can see scenarios where an op comes on for a rant and before they know it it has escalated to a point that they are seeing problems in their relationship that rant there, much like reading a medical encyclopaedia and developing symptoms.

Are you saying there is no problem here? Just to clarify.

Only1scoop · 15/05/2016 09:49

Grim grim grim

DaveCamoron · 15/05/2016 09:49

And at least one poster has said that they'd kick their DH out for vomiting.

Janefromdowntheroad · 15/05/2016 09:50

I'm a hardened MNer, won't be LTB any time soon.

He will be cleaning the vomit up though

Op, you just got my first chuckle for the morning!
How's his head?

DoinItFine · 15/05/2016 09:54

One poster said they would leave their own DH for drunken behaviour because they won't put up with drunkenness.

We are all entitled to set our own boundaries.

Nobody suggested the OP should leave her husband.

Janefromdowntheroad · 15/05/2016 09:54

He's gone to bed. Apparently he didn't want to watch peppa at 7am Wink

Davecamoron either you're a bit hard of thinking or you're projecting your own alcohol rested behaviour and getting defensive.

Getting drunk isn't abusive. Waking your partner and child, trying to sleep in a bed with your child, ignoring your partner and exposing your partner and child to uncontrolled drunken behaviour (vomitting out the window) is definitely emotionally abusive. The man knew what the expectations were and he agreed to them. Then ignored it.

Gowgirl · 15/05/2016 09:56

I don't want to watch peppa anytime! I would also put paw patrol to sleep at this point!

We have a pull out sofa bed downstairs that I make up to look all comfy; leave a bucket, some kitchen roll, a pint of water and some alka-seltzer for when DH has been out on a big one. I hate the loud stumbling / kebab and alcohol stench along with the drunken attempt of fumbling- he can also get majorly on his high horse when he's had a few which can lead to serious arguments. Now we have this arrangement, he's more than happy to get home and crash and I don't have to be repulsed and annoyed.
I'd address it when sober- and if there's a dc in the bed, all the more reason to encourage him to sleep it off elsewhere.

JonSnowsBeardClippings · 15/05/2016 09:58

Alcohol related behaviour, typo
I don't think it's me being a dick here

DaveCamoron · 15/05/2016 09:59

What alcohol related behaviour Grin

I don't fucking drink Smile

MessyBun247 · 15/05/2016 10:01

No YANBU! If you are co-sleeping you can't have a steaming drunk person in the bed as it's totally unsafe.
Ok he has worked all week but he made the choice to go and get drunk, no one forced him. So yes he should sleep on the sofa.
