DH Drunken Shenanigans

Hi everyone! Just need to went really as feeling quite peed off with DH... Long story short, DH went out with his mates last night for 'a few beers'. Fast forward to midnight, comes home and goes bed. Half hour later I wake up to the sound of puking so go to check on him. There's vomit all over upstairs landing carpet, walls, bathroom floor, door, side of the bath, toilet etc. You get the idea! Spent around an hour cleaning it up so DD aged 3 don't step in it in the morning. DH went back to sleep only to then throw up down the side of fabric divan bed onto the carpet (missed the bucket and towel I've put down for him). Had a horrible sleep as spent ages cleaning up sick and tending to DS who is a couple of months old. When DH wakes up I bet he will argue it's 'his weekend and that he should be allowed to do whatever he wants'. I'm on mat leave so such thing as a weekend doesn't really exist for me and now he will be useless all day. Also the money is tight at the moment and he spent quite a lot on drinks from what I can see meanwhile I have been going without many things as I can't justify spending money we don't have. AIBU to be peed off? Feel like going out shopping for the day and leaving him with the kids to clean up the remaining mess... 😤

@Dirtylittleroses a little sick can go a long way when the puker doesn't have the faculties or common sense to aim at a receptacle. As anyone who's ever dealt with a vomitting toddler knows well!

DrinkFeckArseBrick · 26/06/2022 10:26

I think this would be a LTB moment for me. I've done my share of getting drunk and being sick, so it's not that, but it's always been in the toilet or outside and I've always cleaned it up...but it's your anticipation of his reaction that's the worst thing. Ok, stuff happens, but most people would be absolutely mortified, swearing off alcohol, trying to do whatever they could to make it up to you...not telling you they can do wtf they want (and apparently what they want is for you to clear up their sick).

Your post has actually made me feel sick and very angry. Honestly try and reassess your relationship and if you really want to be with someone who seems to think its normal to do this when they have young children and who thinks it's ok for someone to clean up after them. Disgusting behaviour

Reallybadidea · 26/06/2022 10:30

If he wakes up and is absolutely horrified by his behaviour, offers to clean it up and is clearly remorseful and ashamed, then that is one thing. If he is angry with you for being upset and tries to minimise it, then that tells you quite a lot IMO.

It's definitely not a regular occurrence although as and when he does go out he always says one thing but then does completely different due to FOMO. Just feeling cross as I rarely see him during the week due to the nature of his job and we only get to see each other on the weekends. I feel like the weekend has been spoiled to say the least 🙄

I'd call that a result as I wouldn't want to look at him.

Nanny0gg · 26/06/2022 10:58

SleepyDibill0 · 26/06/2022 10:14

He was so drunk he couldn't even tell he had sick all over his feet. Tried going off to get back into bed before I pointed this out to him! Literally cleaned his feet so that he doesn't smear it all over the bed... Not that it mattered anyway seeing as he then was sick in the bed 😩

I would actually find this so revolting I wouldn't want him anywhere near.

Pollydonia · 26/06/2022 11:04

I'd leave the house until he cleans it all up properly.
Tbh I'd probably leave him too, the selfish cunt.

LondonLovie · 26/06/2022 11:08

Does he do it every weekend.. or is it a one off?

I wouldn't be giving him a pat on the back, but if it was highly rare I'd put it down to a one off & let it go.

I'd also give him a bit of a break today and allow him to sleep it off. We all make mistakes, bit shit but he clearly just went OTT. I don't know many drinkers who haven't had the odd regret..

If he did it all the time then it'd be a different story.

notapizzaeater · 26/06/2022 11:09

This is self inflicted drunkenness! I'd be waking him now and telling him to get everything cleaned up - currently other than being sick he's no downside !

Aprilx · 26/06/2022 11:12

Why would there be vomit everywhere like that? Is that actually true or are you exaggerating? In my youth I have been sick after too much alcohol and so have a lot of people I know, but I have never heard of it being all over the house like that.

Anyway, I don’t clear you anyone else’s sick. I’d have made him get up to do it, no matter what state he was in.

Aprilx · 26/06/2022 11:13

*don’t clean up

StarCourt · 26/06/2022 11:20

My ex DH did similar once but also vomited all over our 2 year old DD. He did clean up the next day but when I had a go at him about DD he said 'but I apologised to her'!

comfortablyfrumpy · 26/06/2022 11:21

Honestly, apart from the awfulness if him being that drunk- and its after effects. You have a baby together yet he thinks the weekends are "his"?

I would be seriously looking at separating I don't think your husband has any respect for you, and he really sounds quite nasty.

rwalker · 26/06/2022 11:22

I'd be seething but looking a the big picture sounds like a one of and he's misjudged his limits.

Personally I wouldn't be ripping my family apart for this although many seem to thing it's LTB territory .

Quartz2208 · 26/06/2022 11:26

You need to wake him and get him to clean - his weekend time doesnt mean you have to clean up after him. He drank he vomitted he cleans

And why does he get to spend and you dont? You sound scared of him

shas19 · 26/06/2022 11:27

Put the hoover on!!!

Peakypolly · 26/06/2022 11:29

With his half arsed efforts of cleaning I would be finding bits weeks down the line...

Why are you infantilising him like this? Totally unreasonable for you to clean up after him.

Crystalvas · 26/06/2022 11:29

Getting so ratarsed that he pukes everywhere is not ok. I’d be livid.

this, absolutely. Its his response now that dictates where you go from here

When similar to this happened once early in our relationship I set a never again boundary. I will not accept that behaviour more than once from anyone in my living space. It is a lesson that must be learned from.

Littlebirdyouaresosweet · 26/06/2022 11:31

I voted yabu. Why did you clean up?
He knows he has staff to manage his behaviour fall out so will ime continue..

Marmite17 · 26/06/2022 11:31

Would imagine this is not a regular occurrence and no plans to drink to the point of throwing up.
Can see why you're fed up though.
Think he owes you at least 2 evenings of me time.

Marmite17 · 26/06/2022 11:33

Edit no one

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 26/06/2022 11:34

Gross. Leave a bucket of sick next to him and shake him awake.

Why should you have to clean it up? (OK, so the kids don't step in the bits everywhere else but the bedroom? He needs to sort that).

Then take then kids and fuck off out for a nice lunch with friends or parents. Leave him to it. Just tell him you expect everything to be sparkling clean and windows open when you choose to go home.

She cleaned up because she has a baby and a toddler in the house who shouldn't be subjected to their dads dried up vomit.

OP he needs to grovel when he gets out of bed. Big time. DP would massively be in the dog house if I'd been up half the night cleaning his sick up.

StaunchMomma · 26/06/2022 11:37

I'd go out but take the kids & message him to tell him you expect the house to be spotless and not stinking of vomit when you get home. I'd also be telling him to sort the washing, dry cleaning of eg duvets if necessary and to book a manage a carpet clean. You've already sorted way too much of his shit for him.

After that I'd tell him if he ever does it again you will take the kids and leave the house until it's sorted out, AND I'd make sure his parents are aware of what happened because I'm petty & he deserves to be ashamed.

You are not his mother, OP. In actual sickness & in health, sure. In sickness caused by acting like a teenager, hell no!!
