’I’ve just shit my pants, literally’

He messaged me this today from work.
He’s not been feeling well recently and complains of a funny tummy in front of our Dd, 6.

Aibu to feel totally put off by this and to just not want to know? Or am I just a cold, uncaring person?!

Exactly what I said …yes it would put me off and I asked who was going to wash the shitty pants I didn’t assume anything if anybody did it was you

What's the fuck that no chance about?

Another day, another MN post that reminds me that there’s nowt so queer as folk.

I think I’d give him some sympathy to start with and then when he’s feeling better take the micky a little bit.

Correct answer

abracadabra1980 · 16/05/2024 20:25

Not at all. I'd laugh - we see the humour in most things which is why we love one another - but I'd hope he wasn't too ill..

Whattochoosetowatch · 16/05/2024 20:25

@Hadjab Me for finding him texting me to tell me this odd, or him texting it?!

No fucking chance would I was them ok that’s what I meant 🙄

TowerRavenSeven · 16/05/2024 20:25

Oh dear, it wouldn’t put me off though. Fortunately we both carry a pair of extra pants in the car (I keep a whole outfit; you never know).

Ratisshortforratthew · 16/05/2024 20:25

No it wouldn’t, I’d be sympathetic but also find it hilarious, but my partner and I joke about poo and farts all the time.

Marblessolveeverything · 16/05/2024 20:26

@Whattochoosetowatch unless you are a gastric consultant how do you know it isn't a "real" problem. You said it isn't Crohn's, how was this ruled out?

Because sadly these symptoms can be signs of significant underlying condition and need investigation.

Unless there is a big back story of medical diagnosis and he is ignoring advice you are coming across as quite dismissive.

No it isn't something to share is it. Who tf shits themselves (barring continence issues obviously) and then messages about it 🤮.

TheAceWoman · 16/05/2024 20:27

Poor guy. What a nightmare thing to happen! Is he at work? Is he not contacting you because he is having a crisis? I'd be in a complete panic if I had an accident at work and would message my DH whom I trust.

God, if you can’t tell your spouse, the person who supposedly chose to love and support you, that you’ve shit yourself without judgment, then you have bigger problems.

Oh come on everyone’s made the mistake of thinking it was only a fart at least once in life

Whattochoosetowatch · 16/05/2024 20:28

@Marblessolveeverything There’s a bug going around at his work. I’ve had it before, but at home thank god, when I didn’t quite make it to the loo in time. I cleaned the loo, things in wash and had a shower etc. it wasn’t nice, but u never thought to tell him…or anyone 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe he needed her to bring him some clothes!

What did he do afterwards OP? 😳

There's some things you don't need to share. This is one of them.
He needs to see a GP as it isn't normal for grown men to shit themselves.

Whattochoosetowatch · 16/05/2024 20:30

I just don’t get it, he came home normally, I asked didn’t he need to have a shower, things in wash, he said he cleaned himself up of course. This is why I’m not taking it seriously as it sounds like it was nothing, I just don’t get why he’d message this

Why would you need to text that just flush you shitty pants down the pan and get on with your day don’t tell your spouse what a fucking off put jeeeze …how many of you ladies fart follow through and text your hubby guess what I’ve just shit myself but don’t let that put you off we are still on for tonight and dont forget you saidvyou would go down on me …fffs come on

MaryFuckingFerguson · 16/05/2024 20:32

If I ever shat myself, the first person I’d tell is my husband! He’d be the same. (Note, neither of us have ever shat ourselves 😂)

The horror, the shame, the funny side…isn’t that part of being close and wanting to share?

Whattochoosetowatch · 16/05/2024 20:32

I said in my text to him, that it’s pretty gross to tell me 😬 and he said, well it’s pretty gross to happen.
I don’t know…I’m obviously not a supportive person 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe he wanted to share his embarrassment with his wife for some support. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. When I love and care about someone, they can literally tell me anything embarrassing and I don’t ridicule them or be put off them. Sometimes people have accidents, who cares!?

You're right. Let's give him a Paddington stare and tell him to get to the doccies.
