To make him wash his own trousers

Firstimefreaked · 24/03/2018 10:04

Last night my OH went out it was the the 10th anniversary of the bar so the drinks were flowing free, I don't mind that he got super drunk if I wasn't BF with a young baby I would have loved it, however when he came back he informed me drunkenly he had peed his trousers I made him wipe himself down (too drunk to wash) and go to bed after inspecting his clothes he had sh*t himself royally it's a mess!!!

Do I bag it up and make him wash it when he comes back from work at 1pm even though he is warmed up death today?

What's the worse state your partners been in?

I suspected that it was probably an unfortunate 'both ends' situation too. Only you know your DH and whether this is an issue or not.

I suspect many people have been drunk enough to vomit, and many people have also had stomach upsets leading to vomit and loose bowels. Also, usually when you're ill youre in the comfort and privacy of your own bathroom. Yes, there's little sympathy to be had when the cause of the stomach upset is self inflicted but i don't think that one overly heavy night makes an alcoholic.

Oh mother is poorly it would not have been my choice of time lol I used to live indie on so always loved going to Cornwall.

Cornwall's lovely too - well it is, but for the drive to actually get there. Wall-to-wall traffic, breakdowns and potholes.

I can't remember the last time I went, must be about 5 years ago now but I live vicariously through 'Doc Martin' as that's set there.

Firstimefreaked · 24/03/2018 12:13

Indie= in Devon lol

Dear God, OP, you've got the full force of MN outrage, haven't you? All these people who lead such perfect lives. Yes, it's pretty disgusting but you've been pretty clear it's a one off. You've thrown the trousers away - the only sensible thing to do - and drawn a line under it.

As for the interrogation about doing his washing, really? I do all the washing in this house and can't see any problem with it. So shoot me.

Enjoy the rest your f your weekend, OP, and ignore the pearl clutchers.

Baubletrouble43 · 24/03/2018 12:18

I do all the washing in my house and dp does all the cooking. Suits us both as I loathe cooking and he loves it.

Firstimefreaked · 24/03/2018 12:21

Since moving with only a suitcase of me and the babies things I don't even have enough clothes for a wash (I wash the babies seperatly with her bedding towels) even so laundry doesn't wake her up when napping like dishes etc dosomId rather do the laundry. Currently live in a very small one bed flat we get our new place next week yay

now it seems to be where the 'leftovers' post, the undesirables who have no social skills or ability to comprehend a post.

Shock Wow! You’re holding onto quite some feelings there lying! Are you ok?

SilverySurfer · 24/03/2018 12:23

I think your sense of humour differs considerably from most posters on here, OP. Can you explain how what your OH did was remotely amusing?

Firstimefreaked · 24/03/2018 12:24

I was shocked a bit that the laundry was such a issue, when I was working he used to do all the laundry lol

OP posts:
Firstimefreaked · 24/03/2018 12:27

I think it's more I wanted to hear funny stories than I found it hilarious.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 24/03/2018 12:27

I'll add 'Inadequates' to that list, *Zibbidoo^, thanks for the prompt.

DullAndOld · 24/03/2018 12:28

" undesirables who have no social skills or ability to comprehend a post. "

excuse me?
OP said her partner drank so much that he shat himself...
Really not hard to comprehend.....
anyway LyinhWitch I know you are a good person, but I do have social skills and fine comprehension skills, thank you.

Bluelady · 24/03/2018 12:28

Same here, Bauble, maybe we're married to the same man!

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 24/03/2018 12:31

DullAndOld, if you read ALL of the OP's posts, then you would have a better idea of the situation. Edited highlights are a bit pointless.

No real need to read anybody else's posts but the OP's are pretty crucial to get the sense of what happened. I'm guilty of that myself sometimes.

Wishimaywishimight · 24/03/2018 12:32

Bloody hell - if this is what counts as 'funny' then I've entirely lost my sense of humour. You keep saying 'lol' like it's some amusing anecdote when actually it's a completely vile way for a supposedly functioning adult to behave. Would you share this story with your friends and family OP?

DullAndOld · 24/03/2018 12:33

yes its easy to flip through a thread without reading every word...
Anyway you are kind to put a different spin on it.
Possibly our own experiences colour our responses..

Surely it's as easy to pick them up and put them in the washing machine as it is to pick them up and but them in a bag to leave outside the door??
Tbh I'd just wash them and have it over with.

Exactly, I'd just wash them then look after him when he got home. He'd do the same for me.

Then take the piss when he's feeling better.

Some of the comments on here are a bit OTT, I'm sure he's not on his way to becoming a needle junkie just because he got a bit too pissed Hmm

Get takeaway pizza for his dinner op, have him a bath run when he gets in then let him go to bed early and tell him you want a Saturday night out soon and to be waited on hand and foot all the next day.

Firstimefreaked · 24/03/2018 12:39

Did actually tell my friend, she laughed because it's unusual behaviour and didn't think about the fact I had to strip the bed, were grubby gal pals tho.

OP posts:
speakout · 24/03/2018 12:40

I'd chuck them.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 24/03/2018 12:41

That's very true, DullAndOld - and I can't tell you the number of times I've launched into a thread and either missed something material - or missed the point completely.

I don't have a problem with your posts, I'm just pondering at the last-minute posters who are still piling in to have a pop at the OP. I wonder what the point of them is... here and in RL because they are truly lacking.

'Functioning adult' is a phrase used to insult. It has no other purpose. Slow handclap for your contribution to try to make the OP feel like rubbish, Wishimay. OP has everything going for her.

Firstimefreaked · 24/03/2018 12:41

Eliza did think about washing but I am wondering if the trouser gods did this so he could finally get new jeans (a bit extreme in my mind)

Minging.

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 24/03/2018 12:42

just so you know, that 'head tilt' thing is really old now>

Shock so now you’re accusing me of using old phrases?? I’m disgusted. How low can a person get. That’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen said on MN.

Firstimefreaked · 24/03/2018 12:44

Your very sweet lyingwitchandthewadrobe, I am pretty happy at the moment (gloat) despite trouser shite, I'm glad I did this post now because although the minority it's nice to see that there's other peeps laid back like me.
