To be annoyed with DP for being sick on the floor?

[Bubble77bee]

On the way home tonight my DP said he was feeling a bit sick. I sorted dinner for our DC then took them upstairs to do bedtime while he lay on the sofa. I have no problem with doing this when he is feeling ill. Just finishing bath time and I hear him retching downstairs. He’s being sick on the dining room floor. Thankfully it’s a hard floor, but I can’t believe he didn’t make it another couple of metres to a sink or toilet. He continued to be sick on the floor while I was shouting down the stairs to him to get to the downstairs bathroom. Now it’s all gone quiet downstairs so I’m guessing he is back on the sofa and there is still sick on the floor. There is no way I am cleaning this up. Am I being unsympathetic? Or AIBU to be annoyed at him for being sick on the floor?

Before you vomit you tend to salivate. That's the warning sign to get to a bathroom right away.

I'd be annoyed, too, but at least it wasn't on a carpet (what a plus, hey?).

When I have been sick, I stay where I am. No point spreading it everywhere,

There are a lot of entitled men on here

Huh?

Reminds me of the time I was sick out of my parents bedroom window at 18 🙈 (bug not drunk) I was getting fresh air and then just suddenly was sick- snap second decision where i knew it was either out the window or all over the carpet.I was so ill after my poor mum had to clean it up from all over the windows, front drive etc...I did offer but she insisted she would do it knowing i was not in a good way....I did feel really guilty she had to do that!

However I would be really annoyed if my DH did what yours has, unless of course he was seriously unwell like having a fit or something.

Vomit and it's smell is really hard to get rid of and even worse when you have kids.

I had food poisoning once, it was like my body ejected everything simultaneously. I literally didn't have time to move.

He should've known he felt queasy and armed himself with a suitable receptacle.
It's true it can come on very quickly. If he was trying to move towards somewhere safer/more sensible then it's clearly an accident.
I hope he apologised and immediately cleaned it up. At least it wasn't a carpet.
Make sure he keeps a bucket next to him until he's well again.

Don't post on MN whilst watching your babies in the bath. That's not stopping them drowning FFS

Your words are just toxic masculinity. Calling him a baby etc.

Not my experience
I've just suddenly felt sick rise

He did, he threw up in a bowl.

Oh of course
We must all be men

Biggest load of BS on MN is "you don't agree with my baseless man hating so you must be a man"

Same.
It just came up with no warning. And I was not even ill... it was in a cadaver lab, and I thought I was fine. My stomach thought otherwise. No mouth sweats - just instant vom.
I have also had some sot of GI bug.... almost sprayed my classmates with sick. Made it to the corridor. Once it is in your mouth, you don't want to keep it in there.

The only time I had the mouth sweats has been when I have been drunk.

Getting sick on the floor - can’t be helped. Leaving sick on the floor - lazy and horrible.

There's no sick on the floor. He used a bowl.

So he’s no longer on the sofa but spewing 2 metres from the toilet?

That sounds like a reasonable effort to get to the toilet to me.

I’d choose kindness, care and compassion personally.

Glad he got to a bowl and now he knows that if he's feeling queasy and goes to lie down, it's best to put a bowl beside you just in case!

Oh right I missed that, sorry! Clearly having comprehension issues tonight.

So he got sick in a bowl, what’s the issue?

I was in a cinema when a woman got up feeling sick and then vomited rapidly. I thought it was disgusting until it happened to me and I couldn't make the loo. Norovirus can come on very quickly.

I would clean it up and give him a bowl or bucket.

As it appears he's just got a bug then sure. But people vomit for all sorts of reasons, some being serious ilnesses including heart attacks. So yes, as a bare minimum if I'd heard someone being violently and unexpectedly sick then a dead silence I would at least check ( verbally at the very least) that they were conscious and breathing.
And vomiting is horrible so even if it was just a bug if I cared about the person i would show some sympathy and ask if they needed anything.

DH is a complete emetephobe (not sure that's an actual word). He gets no bile warning and just throws up. And cannot clear it up.
It is a horrible but rare occurrence (although happened last week so fresh in the mind). In sickness and in health etc...
Sometimes shit/vomit happens, I'm not going to put him through any more hell than being sick.

No way! I have been sick A LOT. I’m prone to food poisoning (just have to look at a dodgy prawn). I’ve had two pregnancies with terrible sickness. I’ve been sick on trains, on an escalator, at a train station, in a car. Do you know what I’ve never done?! Been sick on a floor. Because I’m an adult who will a) make sure I have some kind of vomit receptacle at close hand if I’m feeling poorly. And b) if I didn’t I would do my damndest to make it to the nearest sink. Which isn’t hard downstairs with a kitchen and downstairs loo that you have. It’s a joke.

I'd clear up sick for someone else. Sometimes the smells of the sick makes you sick again

But then, as I said above, I've cleaned up so much sick at work that at this point I'm immune to worrying tbh

If you are on a train and suddenly overcome with a sickness bug.... are you suggesting that people carry a bowl just in case?

So the working theory at this moment is that he felt sick and he actively decided to vomit onto he floor cause he couldn't be asked to get up and go to the bathroom/sink?
