I think DP has been in a fight

DP went out with a few of his friends, when he got back, he was quite drunk. He went to bed and he left his t shirt on the floor and I noticed it had a bit blood on it. His knuckles also has a few cuts on them.

He isnt normally a violent person but I don't know what to think!

Possible. He may have fallen over too
You’ll not know now though. Depends what he recalls what he tells you

DramaAlpaca · 08/08/2021 01:53

I suppose all you can do is wait until morning and ask him.

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 08/08/2021 01:54

How is his face?

If his face is unmarked, and he's blind drunk, I'd say it's far more likely he's stumbled or tripped over something and scraped his hands trying to grasp something or break his fall.

DramaAlpaca · 08/08/2021 01:57

Good point @XDownwiththissortofthingX.

OP, leave a pint of water and a couple of paracetamol next to him. He might be grateful for them when he wakes up.

My dh came home with scrapes on his head and a bruise. He’d been drinking with his best friend (who we rarely see) and they drank too much. Dh had a stumble but his bf had an even bigger bruise and scrape 🤦🏼‍♀️

FrankButchersDickieBow · 08/08/2021 02:12

I'd agree with the falling over thing. Doubt he's been in a fight.

shak0 · 08/08/2021 09:27

He is still asleep so I can't ask him yet. He does have a small mark on his face though

If he's had a fight, he's had a fight. It happens.

heldinadream · 08/08/2021 09:56

OP he may have been defending himself from someone else who was violent. There are some random nutters out there - if you have the capacity to defend yourself there's nothing wrong with that and you can be a very non-violent person but still be called upon to have to defend yourself.

SunShinesBrightly · 08/08/2021 09:59

If it’s just his hand/ maybe he’s punched something? A window?

shak0 · 08/08/2021 10:16

I'm not sure if he could've been defending himself, if he was in a fight, I would be shocked though as he isn't normally violent.

SkiingIsHeaven · 08/08/2021 11:20

Maybe he tried to split up a fight.

Singlebutmarried · 08/08/2021 11:48

Most likely contender.

The pavement.

Sneaky fuckers they are when you’ve had a drink.

Took the knees out of my brand new double black Levi’s (90s). Bastard pavement.

Nobranothanks · 08/08/2021 12:28

My DP once looked like he'd had a fight, complete with marked face and marked hands.... And blood.

He had been in a fight..... With a garden wall and a Bush 🤣

He's also been known to have a fight with our bedside table

(DP isn't a good drunk in case you couldn't tell! He's an all or nothing in 20 mins type, one min he's sober as a judge the next he's blotto and in bed snoring!)

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 08/08/2021 12:34

It is possible that he stumbled.

I’ve never tripped and fallen on my knuckles though.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 08/08/2021 12:36

Have you asked him yet? Just curious as to the outcome.

GreenTeaBlackCoffeeAndRedWine · 08/08/2021 12:40

As others have said maybe it's a fight with the pavement or a wall or something.

GiveMeAUserName123 · 08/08/2021 12:44

My DH is non violent and came back once with blood pouring down his head, some guy just came up to get and punched him in the face, my DH didn’t even see it coming 😂

Ended up getting £120 compensation from the guy, who was very apologetic so I assume his not normally a violent person either but had too much to drink, these things happen sometimes.

heldinadream · 08/08/2021 17:31

So what happened OP?
Hope he's ok - and you too.

bruffin · 08/08/2021 17:36

@SheldonesqueTheBstard

It is possible that he stumbled.

I’ve never tripped and fallen on my knuckles though.

I did the other week, as i landed with my hands underneath me curled up
SheldonesqueTheBstard · 08/08/2021 17:40

bruffin ow!!!

Perhaps I ought to learn that method! Skinned palms/knees are not my favourite thing. 🥴

EverybodyIsInteresting · 08/08/2021 17:43

Hope he's up and about and not too hungover!

lannistunut · 08/08/2021 17:46

Was there a fight or was it just a drunken accident?

HollowTalk · 08/08/2021 17:49

What did he say, OP?
