Dirty underpants

My husband apparently had diarrhoea at work today, and he has just informed me of this and was laughing at how funny it was that he’d done a bit in his pants before getting to the loo.
I then realised that he is still sitting there on the sofa with the same underpants on which he’s worn all day at work, then throughout dinner and been watching the telly in for a couple of hours.
When I told him that’s disgusting and he should go and change them immediately and wash, he was very defensive, and said he’d wiped it with toilet paper so it is ok and now dried. He got quite angry with me and wasn’t remotely embarrassed or apologetic. he doesn’t even seem to realise that this is horrible.

AIBU- I am disgusted and upset that he is defending this

You have got to be kidding me. That is disgusting.

Not to mention how contagious diarrhoea can be!

Pinkyponker · 02/01/2024 20:26

Yes grim. I'd have been in the shower as soon as I got home 🤢

Melodysmum12 · 02/01/2024 20:27

Wow what a pig! Surely you must notice other disgusting habits! Even my 5yo would be upset if he did this in his pants!

Chichimcgee · 02/01/2024 20:28

How funny I shat my pants. Is he 12?

Zanatdy · 02/01/2024 20:28

That’s absolutely grim he wasn’t straight in the shower and clean pants the minute he walked through the door

mottytotty · 02/01/2024 20:28

Dirty git. Please don’t say you wash his clothes.

If you do, stop, make him wash his own from now on.

Another thread about underwear this evening 😒

He is borderline autistic and very immature

Weirdly he is generally very clean and tidy.

That would gross me out. I would be disinfecting the sofa

Chichimcgee · 02/01/2024 20:43

I HATE the term ‘borderline autistic’ no. Either you’re autistic or not and it’s the most awful or gross or weird situations where someone says ‘well he might be autistic is borderline autistic is likely autistic’ as though autism means you’re gross/immature/weird/awful

Healthyhappymama · 02/01/2024 20:44

Maybe he only spat the tiniest bit out and thought nothing of it, but yes definitely disgusting he should have been straight in the shower with clean underwear on

Babyblackbear78 · 02/01/2024 20:46

Could you not smell it?

Was he sitting on the sofa in his underpants only? Or with jeans/ trousers overtop? Either way, just chuck the underpants. There are some things not worth laundering. 😷😩

heh? non sequitur?

MistralIV · 02/01/2024 20:57

He has just been tested and the psychiatrist diagnosed him as having Broader Autistic Phenotype which he said doesn’t quite qualify for an autism diagnosis but meant he has lots of the behaviours. His son is autistic and many of his family

With his work trousers on top.

I bet he is the type who would fart noxious gas in the kitchen whilst cooking and find it rather amusing and entertaining,

like Jim Carrey comedian actor chaacter in "Dumb and Dumber" film or other type of gross out American so called films of the 90s era...

cerisepanther73 · 02/01/2024 21:07

Or like Jim Carry comedy side kick character in that film..

Delassalle · 02/01/2024 21:12

If true then he is plainly disgusting but I also question you for having such low standards as to marry a revolting oaf!

Chichimcgee · 02/01/2024 21:12

Well he must be disgusting and immature because he has a few autistic traits then.
