Poo-gate, what to do?

notallmenbutalwaysaman · 30/12/2023 05:00

To be honest I just need to rant, I know IANBU but don't know what to do except seethe.

Just before LTB comments start- DH is usually lovely and rarely drinks.

DH went out last night- fine. He had no key and was utterly incoherent when I tried to call/text so I waited up until 2am for him to get home so I could lock up. Then went to bed and he was snoring- I kid you not- like he had some sort of jet engine installed in his chest. He also kept violently shaking and making the bed move like there was some sort of earthquake. He seemed fine medically, just very very drunk. I'm 7 months pregnant, perpetually exhausted, and can barely sleep as it is so obviously couldn't cope with this. He wouldn't stop it or wake up fully when I asked (yelled) at him to go and sleep on the sofa if he was so drunk, and in fact kept telling me to fuck off. So, 2.30am I get my stuff and go sleep on the sofa, which isn't the comfiest when heavily pregnant but is better than a bed installed with earthquake plates.

I must've fallen asleep because at 4am I am awoken by all the lights suddenly being on and an almightly banging in the hallway and kitchen. The washing machine is also inexplicibly on and so obviously the whole living room/kitchen wall has decided to get in on the action and is being as loud as it can possibly be. I try and sleep through it for about 20 minutes before getting up to see what on earth is going on. DH is now fast asleep again, sprawled across the whole bed, but there is a massive stinking pile of poo on the hallway carpet, with splatters leading in to the kitchen. The bathtub is FULL of what I can only describe as poo-confetti. Everything stinks. It's not diarrhea- I'd be a little more understanding of that- but actual solid poo. Now I'm awake (as are, unfortunately, my nostrils) I can't get back to sleep. My back and legs are killing me from sitting/lying on the sofa but absolutely no way do I want to get back in to bed with him (doubt he'd even make room) and I am refusing to clean up on principle but the whole downstairs utterly reeks. He won't clean up- he's still totally incoherent and is refusing to move out of bed.

So now I'm sat here on the sofa, in pain and furious, unable to sleep. What on earth do I do now? I've nowhere to go without a 2+ hour drive which I'm too tired for. What on earth do I do when he wakes up/what is an appropriate punishment/way for him to make up for this? Utterly grossed out and fuming.

So sorry to read your update OP. Sending lots of strength your way to deal with this. Look after yourself xx

I do think he will be very sorry when he sobers up but I am going to be expecting a huge bunch of flowers and an apology meal at the very least I think.

Are you very insecure OP?

Most people would not be looking for flowers and an apology. The majority would be disgusted, quite rightly so, and be making plans to either end the relationship (I would but my bar is set high) or have a serious talk about his drinking and probably drug use. Him saying sorry isn't quite going to be enough

… and don’t forget the clean-up, and probably a new washing machine. I don’t know what the “something else“ that came out was (it did occur to me you possibly just meant vomit) or how this will end, but the one thing that must NOT feature in this incident is you being anyway near the job of cleaning it up.

IAmAnIdiot123 · 30/12/2023 12:24

There's not much dp could do which would force me to end our relationship (outside of like cheating or committing a crime obviously) but this would disgust me to such an extent I think I would have to leave. The level of disrespect here is another level.

After reading your update I am sorry to hear there is even more coming out. Leave now or I imagine you will regret it.

Glitterybee · 30/12/2023 12:27

Dirty bastard, sorry you’re going through this OP

Mirrorballsocial · 30/12/2023 12:38

So sorry op. I've seen some amazing support on here so I'd suggest coming back when you are ready. Maybe with a new thread. Do you have real life support? Take care

Probably gas from the beer and drinking...I am sure there is a technical term.
In his current state he could not have helped it and cannot do anything till he sobers up
But still.his fault for getting in that state and I too would be fuming.

Places like premier inns or airport hotels may check you in now, but would count it as last night. And will have to pay for a second night to stay passed 10am. I would still be tempted to be honest but it's taking a risk.

Try and sleep as best you can. When you wake up go to a hotel or sympathetic friends for breakfast and or sleep, and wait for him to sober up and clean up

Technical term is Code Brown. Faecal incontinence when drunk.

I am so sorry OP some good advice on here.

The OP has privacy concerns, so we've agreed to take this down now.

This is a reach!! OP's update suggests he may have cheated but the poosplosion doesn't indicate anal sex FGS!

ThePoshUns · 30/12/2023 12:52

Eww this is horrific. Hope you're ok OP.

Charliecatpaws · 30/12/2023 12:52

Sorry to read your update OP, I hope you have someone to support you today

I also thought that “more coming out” might potentially have just meant vomit (Or more 💩.) I mean at this point that could throw anyone into shock. That’s probably hopeful …

MadeOfAllWork · 30/12/2023 13:25

Poor you, op. I hope you’ve got it all sorted now.

Scrantonicity2 · 30/12/2023 14:17

Yes "something else came out" gave me the wrong impression initially....
Sorry OP, what a thing to deal with :(

RowanMayfair · 30/12/2023 14:24

Weirdly then I very much hope what came out was more shit and not some revelation of cheating or similar!

Munchyseeds2 · 30/12/2023 15:17

I hope you are ok, look after yourself and the baby.

justasking111 · 30/12/2023 15:38

So sorry, take care of yourself OP

Icalledmywheelchairdoris · 30/12/2023 15:55

Sorry to hear things have moved on.

If you can't face the cleaning yourself, Google and book a biohazard cleaner. This is the sort of cleaning they do.

Beargrumps22 · 30/12/2023 16:12

only been nasty once or twice? disgusting he does not sound much good to me he has no respect for you getting in this state especially knowing you were pregnant

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 30/12/2023 16:36

What an awful scenario, thoughts to you OP Flowers

bookfit24 · 30/12/2023 16:52

Was “what came out” the pasta from his mothers Christmas Day dinner?

Numberfish · 30/12/2023 19:26

Yeah, so much better to type viciously spiteful comments trying to split up a pregnant woman and her ‘previously nice’ husband. The ease with which people assume the worst and try to encourage hate and broken families on Mumsnet is incredible.

babymidgetgem · 30/12/2023 19:31

I hope you're OK OP, and have someone with you.

Well I’m still crossing my fingers it was just more poo coming out!

Hope she is ok though. I was hoping she would leave not him, given the state of the place.

AnneValentine · 30/12/2023 09:13

I hope you are ok.

it was clear there was more to it.

Really? I had no idea. Hit me like a tonne of bricks.

Really hope you're OK OP. For what it's worth I didn't see that something else was afoot. Just thought he's got drunk and shit everywhere. X

I think on balance it’s probably drugs. I can’t understand an obvious link to an affair?
