To be annoyed about my partners drunkenness and subsequent behaviour?

Last night my partner went out with his friends, clearly drank to excess as he appeared rather drunk when he came home in the early hours. Struggling to unlock the front door, banging around being loud etc. Fair enough, little bit annoying and then we all went to sleep. A few hours later lm woken to the sound of him urinating outside our bedroom door. I flick the light on, tell him to stop and go to the bathroom which he does. I then ask him to clean it up. He refuses, is still rather drunk and rolls back into bed. I have now asked him again to clean it up. He again refused, l asked for a 3rd time, he got angry saying he’s tired and it doesn’t need doing. I pointed out the smell of wee will stick and l don’t want to smell it. He will do it when he feels like it 🙄 apparently. Oh and l shouldn’t be annoyed and aggressively he told me l need to “shut up”. Fine, he can pay and organise for new laminate to be laid

What makes it worse is we are trying to conceive, have been for a while and aren’t getting anywhere. We agreed to only drink lightly between now and the end of the year -lm 40 in the new year so our odds will probably be fairly poor by then. I now feel like a right idiot as l have been eating well, drinking lightly / occasionally, having acupuncture, taking supplements etc. Whereas he goes and gets absolutely annihilated and then speaks to me like that! I’m also wondering if he took drugs as well, as he was acting quite oddly and chewing the inside of his mouth

We were meant to be going to the theatre today, lm probably going to see if one of my friends can come with me instead

Lest be real if he’s pissed enough to piss in the floor he’s hardly going to be capable of tidying it up. Leave it, go theatre with a friend and text him you’ll be back when he’s cleaned up.

I'd be furious too. Incidentally, have you been to see a doctor about TTC? In our area I think they offer IVF up to 42 now. They advise to start the process if you've been trying for 6 months or more.

I'm not normally one to defend blokes that act like dickheads (and pissing on the floor is very disgusting). But when i was pregnant with my eldest my husband had one night where got so hammered he was sick in the bed. Luckily his snoring had already driven me to the spare bed. It was a one off, i think impending fatherhood had made him go a bit crazy and drink waaaaay too much. Never happened before or since - it wqs about 7 years ago.
Thing is, he did clean it up and he was suitably apologetic and ashamed once his hangover had subsided enough.

@Petitprince we have a diagnosis of unexplained infertility which we got privately. NHS didn’t seem to know what they were doing. In our area they only do 1 cycle and we would have to have been trying for 3 years. We have been trying for 1 year, by the tine the 2 years is up then l would be 41. The cut off age here is 40. So rather pointless with the NHS route unfortunately which is annoying as its a postcode lottery, me paying into it for years and working for the NHS

I’d leave his favourite shirt in the puddle and go out to the theatre.

Honestly, you’d be better off ttc using an anonymous sperm doner than having a baby with this loser. It sounds like he does drugs as well as alcohol so you’d be putting a child at risk of serious health issues if you conceive with him.

WhatKatyDidNxt · 11/05/2019 08:51

Won’t lie l nearly threw his dressing gown in it! Instead l used a towel to soak it up

I think these posts aren’t very useful. We all know OP isn’t going to leave her partner unless there is something else going on we don’t know about. Vent away OP but personally I’d ignore him for the day, get out and get away whilst he gets over his hangover and have a good chat tomorrow

BrightOink · 11/05/2019 09:01

It's gross.

Is he talking to you about how he's feeling about everything/ your situation / stress at work? Maybe this is his way of unwinding. Maybe it went too far. I wouldn't be writing him off because of it and hopefully he'll be full of apologies today and getting the Zoflora out...

When blokes in particular start bingeing to those extremes it's usually as a defence and as a way to stop feeling things. Is he unhappy? Does he communicate with you normally?

Today he needs to hear how it's made you feel and where you are at and where'd you'd like things to go moving forwards. If he's going to get in a state like that again, ask him to stay over somewhere else and come back once he's sobered up?

Biancadelrioisback · 11/05/2019 09:29

The pissing thing is one thing. I could laugh at that (in the right circumstances) however it's the refusing to clean it up that is a problem. When DH went out and got stupid drunk once he was sick all over the downstairs of our house. I got up the next morning and discovered it. Told DH I was taking DS out and when we got back I expected it gone. He was good to his word, sorted the house our, made me a cuppa and was full of apologies the rest of the day (as he should).

MissKittyFantastico0 · 11/05/2019 12:09

Sounds like a mix of drink and drugs - chewing inside the mouth is a tell. It all sounds pretty awful OP, sorry for you. Hope he feels like shite this morning and is full of apologies.

RebeccaWrongDaily · 11/05/2019 12:15

why are people saying they'd laugh if their drunken lump of a husband pisses on the floor?
I would be asking them to go away for a few days, and reconsider their options and approach to me and our future.

i wouldnt be laughing, the next morning neither would he be laughing

AiryFairyMum · 19/05/2019 15:44

Sorry, back to the IVF, could you try a different doctor (and maybe tell them you've already been trying for three years) to ask for a referral to a consultant? Wishing you lots of luck!

DP is a puker when he has too much to drink (doesn't do drugs ever - he spins out if he's in the same room as somebody who smokes weed).

On the rare occasions he's done it, I've informed him at 9am at the latest (it's the weekend, I'm not going to wake up early) that he has some cleaning to do and walked away to get with my day. Which inevitably involves vacuuming at a leisurely pace - I've made it last an entire morning before now when I was particularly miffed, just by taking a break after I've woken him up again each section.

Pissing, however, would result in him being left to make alternative sleeping arrangements. I can't stand the idea of these (mostly) men who urinate wherever they happen to be after a couple of drinks.
