To think you can't always control where you're sick?

[NoHolidaysforyou]

Ok so this is another where it's my DH vs me.

The other day I was sick and grabbed an empty water bottle which I threw up in and then put the whole thing in the rubbish bin.

My husband today takes the bottle out of the rubbish bin, rinses it out and puts it in the recycling. He makes all sorts of comments that upset me, "Eww what was that??"

I proceed to call him weird and say I threw it in the rubbish because I was sick. He says that I shouldn't have thrown up in a water bottle. I say you can't control it sometimes and it was better to be in a water bottle than on the floor. He has annoyed me to no end with this, recycling is important but if I have been sick then just leave that 1 water bottle in the rubbish.

AIBU to think you can't control where your sick sometimes and if you have a water bottle full of sick, it's ok to throw it in with the rubbish?

I put the water bottle end in my mouth as I threw up... Sorry, that's grim. 🤢

He is very unreasonable and weird.

Anyone else hoping there is an empty bottle to hand next time they're sick so they can sick if they have #vomaimskills

But didn't the lumps clog up in the neck of the bottle? < not envy

I'm also totally distracted by the skills in throwing up in a bottle. Sorry, what was that about your DH?

Do you not usually tell your husband when you're sick? I'm sick like every 15 years, so it would be a big conversation piece.

But I am impressed with your skills.

Well done on getting it in the water bottle, slightly gross that a bottle of sick has been in your bin for ages. Yanbu though.

I once threw up in my (full) bedside drawer.

On purpose.

(I was drunk)

I think based on your latest post you have much bigger issues than him washing out a water bottle.

Sorry, but I don't think there can be many occasions when you physically can't make it to the loo to be sick. It was always drummed into me as a child. My DH really annoys me when he gets one of my mixing bowls out of the cupboard if he feels sick - I have to throw it away afterwards. It's all about self-control and can be done.

Very impressed with your aim!

As for your dh he sounds insane. Yes it's good to be into recycling etc but one bottle isn't gonna melt all the ice. As for choosing where to throw up - the fact he thinks you can choose is odd. Is his day, routine, life very regimented?

He says that I shouldn't have thrown up in a water bottle.

Suggest that you'll throw up over him next time! Seriously impressed that you manged to do it in a water bottle though.

I can't get past the aim!!

You kept your mouth closed while vomiting? Nah.. I... just don't believe it.

I just put a water bottle in my mouth and cannot, CANNOT understand how you can be sick into one.

I think if you’ve got enough control of the vomit to get it in a bottle then you have enough control to dash to a toilet , assuming you are at home . Personally I can’t imagine anything worse than voming in a bottle , I’d rather clean up the floor ! My dog vomited in my handbag once in the back of the car perhaps I could teach him to vomit in bottles .

I've got bad morning sickness aka all day sickness, where haven't i thrown up! The bath, the potty, the washing basket....

Another amazed at your aim.
I certainly wouldn't have fished it out of the bin like your dh, but find it a bit grim that you didn't get rid of the contents yourself down the loo or whatever.

I threw up whilst driving once, I wasn't even feeling sick it just came out of nowhere and went all over me, the steering wheel, the seatbelt etc!!

I just through it in the bin because he was going to the skip. We have 2 toddlers with plenty of dirty nappies so we go to the skip often.

What? He follows you around badgering you when you've asked for space? He rifles through the rubbish bins so he can call attention to and wash out your vomit?

Is he neuro-typical as far as you know?

I find his behaviour really strange.

Also [missing the point] if he's obsessed with the environment then why is he using disposable nappies? That's 6000 pieces of landfill per baby, and he's getting his panties in a twist over one bottle?

Tell him to get some gloves and a nappy bucket, he's about to put his enthusiasm for scrubbing bodily fluids to greater use because you're swapping to cloth nappies and you'll be leaving them for him to wash every night.

What a dick.

I was impressed with myself a couple of nights ago that I managed to contain vom in the "bathroom jug" which was beside my bed when vom hit. It's a litre jug.

I emptied it several times as I sat on bedroom commode. (not fun), I was about to pass out so couldn't make the run to the bathroom and was refilling as fast as emptying. My legs currently aren't working properly anyhow.

Usually, I wake up and it goes wherever it goes. As I often aspirate and the vomit comes up and goes back down into my lungs so when I can let it out, I will.

(the bathroom jug btw is marked with fluorescent tape over it as it never goes near the kitchen, it's used for collecting urine samples which I have to do often)

It's grim but I also am seriously impressed with getting it in a water bottle

As a migraineur I am no stranger to the wonders of antiperistalsis but despite my experience i couldn't manage a bottle.

I threw up in the washing-up bowl yesterday. It was full of crockery waiting to be washed. I blame the little person in my belly.

It's all about self-control and can be done.

Congratulations, but not everyone is you.

I read a suggestion of self-control as a 'cure' for morning sickness. God knows if I could have been less sick I would have been, particularly when trying to keep down drinks. But one sip of water led to instant vomiting.
