Anyone up? DP has just come in and thrown up all over the bedroom

He had a night out last night, one of his friends who isn't in he country often had come over so he went out. He has work tomorrow and he tried to get out of the night out but the friend was insistent (I know this is true). Anyway he rolled in about an hour ago (fine) but woke me up slamming doors and then I woke up to the sound of him being sick all over our bedroom carpet.

It's all over the carpet and he's blocked the bathroom sink and he's do drunk I could barely wake him as he was vomiting everywhere. I've obviously had to get up and get on my hands and knees and clean the sick up he has barely an idea of where he's at its revolting.

I've spent about 40 mins cleaning when I should have been asleep. I've finally finished and he's got back into bed and has asked why I won't join him - I don't want to smell sick as I'm sleeping and even though I've cleaned the carpet he needs a shower.

Had this happened to anyone else? He is usually such a great partner just can't handle his drink at all and he has to be at work early tomorrow so now I'm worried I'll have to force him out of bed in a couple of hours and not sure what state he will be in.

Call in sick for him. Say he's had a bad reaction to alcohol with a medication.

That truly happens and if he really is a rare drinker will be believable and quickly forgotten

This.

The photo is on his Instagram story so I can't delete it it will be on there for all to see for 24 hours from when he posted it and then it will disappear. I'll see how he is at 7 (we all know how that will go) and take it from there. I know it's a one off but I am angry he had got in self into this state.

Get that pic deleted asap.

I would cover for him, as its a once off.

If there is really no way he can get out the meeting, get him up and he should eat and drink something with plenty sugar in it. And plenty chewing gum. Do you have any vitamin b tablets laying around?. I heard that they are pretty good for a hangover....

Meowstro · 14/03/2017 06:06

Never had this with DH but he'd be hearing about it for a while if he did this. The carpet needed cleaning straight away but I'd be making him clean everything himself in the morning.

You'll have to wake him so he can call work, don't let him leave to drive no matter what he says. I hope he didn't mention his night out to anyone at work!

I know its not funny OP, its pretty grim, but he would probably do the same for you if the tables were turned. You will be able to milk the fact that you scrubbed his vomit up for him though. Enjoy that part when he is in a fit state Wink

Meowstro · 14/03/2017 06:09

Sorry x post.

He'll have to go in and disguise it, I recommend sending him to work with a lot of chewing gum and pack him lots of carbs for his train journey in. Strong aftershave and coffee should help hide it!

LilacSpatula · 14/03/2017 06:11

If he's not driving that's good. Hide his keys if not. Other than that I'm sorry to say (and this might sound harsh as no one else has said this!) but...I'd let his sort it. It isn't you that has the very important meeting and mugged this off to get drunk, he did. If he was one of your children I'd think they would need your help, but he isn't. He's an adult and he needs to be the one worrying about this.

I just really hope I can get him out of bed I have a feeling he will refuse to budge.

LilacSpatula · 14/03/2017 06:13

I might make sure DH was up at the right time but, other than that, he'd be on his own. Especially regarding calling his boss. The only reason I would do this for DH is if he physically couldn't do it himself (like, he was in hospital).

HopefullyAnonymous · 14/03/2017 06:15

Why on earth is he being sick in the sink? That really is grim Envy (not envy!)

user1487175389 · 14/03/2017 06:15

Sorry for you OP.

Have to say I've never been happier to be single than when reading this thread. If this is a regular thing you might want to consider it yourself.

Lilac I'm inclined to agree I won't be calling his boss I have never spoken to him before and don't want our first conversation to be an embarrassing lie. My main worry is I don't want him to lose his job over this and I think just not turning up could contribute to that. If he turns up I reckon he will eel sorry for himself but he will be forced to put on a show for a couple of hours and then he can come home and feel sorry for himself later.

KERALA1 · 14/03/2017 06:15

Sorry but you are acting like his mother - he's a grown man not a teen. He presumably knew about his important work meeting

Schwifty · 14/03/2017 06:16

You've got our moral support in the run-up to 7am!

If / when he goes to work or conks out again OP, you deserve a lovely snooze somewhere non-vom smelling and loads of tea & biccies.

Sukitakeitoff · 14/03/2017 06:16

How long has he been at the company? Any idea what the drinking culture is like there? Is the meeting internal or with clients.

If I were you I would wake him at 7am so he has the choice, but I would not be forcing him out of bed - whether to get up and out has got to be his decision.

LilacSpatula · 14/03/2017 06:20

It's much better if he doesn't go in at all, in my opinion. The time the photo was posted will be relevant here (10pm vs 5am is a world of difference) but if it's the first time and he stays adamant that he's genuinely ill he shouldn't lose his job. Illness happens.

Just checked his social media, there have been three very incriminating posts videos of him and his mates drunkenly syncing on clubs and the most recent was at 2am. I can't get rid of them they are on Instagram story (like snapchat) so they are there for al to see for 24 hours since they were posted. No-one is going to believe it's illness.

OP posts:
Trifleorbust · 14/03/2017 06:24

Up, shower and chewing gum would be my strategy, but I would do it myself! He isn't your child and this was his fuck up. Make coffee and leave him to it.

Dancing not syncing

Agree with others. He shouldn't go into work. It'll be worse if he stinks of alcohol and ruins that important meeting.

The alcohol and meds 'lie' could work but I think he'll need to show some pretty hardcore determination from now on

TheoriginalLEM · 14/03/2017 06:28

blatant place mark

murphys · 14/03/2017 06:28

In light of the video evidence, he has no choice but to get up and suck it up for the day.

He can stop at the pharmacy and pick up some anti nausea meds if he needs to.

It wont look good for him if management see those videos.
