DP’s Friday night ‘antics’ - was a line crossed?

DP and I have been together for 4 years, lived together for 1.5, are engaged and ttc.

I am tracking and we agreed we’d dtd last night. He had plans to meet his friends at the pub ‘for a couple’ and would be home in good time. He drove there which he said would mean he would limit what he has to drink so he could drive home.

First issue - I was expecting him home at 9 and was still out an hour later, not replying to a text I sent. He then calls me at about 10.45 making barely any sense and clearly pissed. He asks if I can give him a lift home. Fine.

Two of his friends help him in to my car, such was his state. It’s about a 15 minute journey home and half way back, he is sick, it absolutely stunk.

We get home, I tell him to go in and clean himself up and I do what I can to clean the car (he’d have been no help) - luckily most ended up on him.

Once back inside he remembered we’d agreed to dtd. I told him that he was in no state to ‘perform’ and he said he’d try to sober up so started downing water.

I was downstairs for c.20 minutes and when I returned upstairs, he was led naked on the bed. He said he was up for dtd and almost as the words left his mouth, I heard him break wind but there was that awful sounding wet sound. He’d only followed through onto our white bedding.

I went ballistic and told him to sleep on the sofa, and I slept in the spare room.

This morning, he has said sorry and that ‘we’re all allowed an off night’. I told him I don’t accept the apology as it stands and am furious with his behaviour.

He just seems so blasé about it, he hasn’t done this before but I feel so disrespected.

I think one of the things that keeps my marriage strong is that we can both be completely ourselves around each other.
I have on occasion had too much to drink and been ashamed of that and so has he but we are married to the person not the behaviour of a one off night we can’t remember.
If this became a regular occurrence for either of us that would be different but after nearly 20 years we both accept that we’ll very occasionally have a few drinks and embarrass ourselves. We rarely drink so it’s not a big problem that will make us question the whole marriage, we’ll more likely rib the other and what they remember.

If you want a future with this man and a family you need to be each others safe space where you can be truly yourself and occasionally fuck up and tomorrow will be another day.
Nobody can be perfect all the time and if I was ever in a vulnerable position where I was sick and having toilet issues I would want Dh and only want him to know, I’d also afford him the same.
He did something quite disgusting and he’s apologised and probably feels bad but he’s an adult and shouldn’t feel like he’s in trouble.

This a million times!

Sounds like deliberate sabotage. Are you sure you want a baby with him?

Who would go to these lengths ? Like actually shit themselves in front of someone to avoid trying for a baby.

justkeepswimingswiming · 17/05/2025 09:33

I wouldn’t be having a child with him. He’s a toddler himself.

Joystir59 · 17/05/2025 09:34

You are being totally unreasonable if you continue trying to get pregnant with this man and bring a child into the world to be fathered by him. Have some self respect and be a responsible adult woman. Otherwise I guarantee you will be back on these pages in a too short time asking how to get out of the trap you've willfully created.

Gotback · 17/05/2025 09:34

I don't think he is ttc. I think only you are. His reaction, to knowing you wanted to get pregnant yesterday, was to make himself so disgusting that it wasn't possible. He doesn't want a baby & he has zero respect for you. Finish it.

MadameCholetsDirtySecret · 17/05/2025 09:35

You don’t need to TTC you already have a vomiting, incontinent baby in your house.

Doggymummar · 17/05/2025 09:36

I had similar with a long term bf of longer than yours, on holiday he pooed the bed. I got up and left immediately flew home and never spoke to him again. It's disgusting and unless someone is ill, entirely self inflicted and lacking respect for themselves and you. Remove him today if you haven't already.

Beeloux · 17/05/2025 09:37

Omg I find a fart off putting enough but if a partner was to shite the bed while lying stark naked in front of me, I would never want to DTD with him ever again. 😷😫

I no longer drink but used to be a bit of a party animal during my uni years and got myself into some states. Nevertheless, I never shit or pissed myself.

I couldn’t look at him the same way again let alone reproduce with him. Fair enough if it was down to illness but this was just self inflicted stupidity. His lack of apology is also a massive turn off.

Sunsetsandcocktails · 17/05/2025 09:37

Sorry OP but that is really gross, on the occasions when my DH has had too much to drink he’s never once shit the bed. I’d think very carefully about if you want to deal with this and a child

TwinklyRoseTurtle · 17/05/2025 08:34

Sorry the vomiting and faecal incontinence on my bed would be a relationship ender for me- I’d never get past it

This is such an over reaction 😆

WildCats24 · 17/05/2025 09:38

Behaviour is a language. Last night, he was telling you, “I don’t want to TTC tonight. I want to get pissed with my mates and stay out past our agreed time.” Listen to him.

True. Imagine having a baby with this person. You'd double your workload.

Cucy · 17/05/2025 09:41

It’s gross but as you say he’s never done this before.

The only thing he did wrong really was shit the bed and although it’s grim it’s a bodily function that he may not have been able to help at the time.

Tbh it sounds like you’re more annoyed at not having sex than anything else.

Its ok to track your cycle TTC but being so rigid with it is not fun and it’s probably why he stayed out longer than planned.

If my DH said he wanted sex on X dates and scheduled it in like that and I’d have to be back by a certain time so I have time to sex with him, it would put me off.

Some people have such low standards...Of course it is NOT an over-reaction.

OP, don't marry or have a child with an immature, disgusting man child.

This ⬆️.
Why is the bar set so low for men?

Pricelessadvice · 17/05/2025 09:42

Am I the only person laughing that he followed through on the bed, whilst stark naked in an attempt to seduce his partner?
I’d struggle to have sex with him again tbh, that vision would be all that would go through my head 🤣

Todayisaday · 17/05/2025 09:42

Yeah he was out of order but I have heard trying for a baby this way can be really stressful for all involved.
Is there a reason you are tracking and being so methodical about it rather than just having regular sex. This kind of pressure to have sex at certain times and come home early etc sounds like a lot, unless therr is a medical or age reason.

ERthree · 17/05/2025 09:43

I think the calls for you to leave him are over the top if this is the first time he has done this. WHY did he get pissed ? Was it because there is so much pressure for him to "perform" Why are you tracking, is there fertility problems or are you just so desperate to get pregnant ? If it is the latter then you need to slow down and ease the pressure, if it is the former then i can understand the tracking but you need to talk to him and Listen to his thoughts, needs and wants.
He needs to be buying new sheets, having you car valeted and being so apologetic, embarrassed and attentive. If he is just laughing it off because he truly doesn't see the problem then you have to decide if you can live with a man with such low standards.

Excited101 · 17/05/2025 09:44

So you were essentially waiting for him at home, and he didn’t give a shit (excuse the pun!) about you. He didn’t care that you were meant to be trying for a baby. He didn’t respect you or your time. I can tell exactly what sort of husband/father he’d be! He’d be like the 80% of posts on here where you wonder why they ever got married or had children with them… but by that point there’s nothing they can do about it.

Be annoyed op, but this is him showing you what he’s really like- his maturity and his priorities.

He’s not a child tho? Sometimes I want to stay out later than the ‘agreed’ time I set with my husband. Doesn’t mean I don’t adore the guy after 24 years, just means I was having a great impromptu time! Sometimes I might be sick god forbid! Although I’m yet to shit myself, hopefully that’s not something my DH would have to endure!

Im not saying I wouldn’t be cross, but if in the grand scheme of things he was a good guy I wouldn’t be leaving him because he spewed up and did a wet trump! I’d tell him to get to bloody NEXT and buy some new sheets pronto! The shame is likely enough

user65342 · 17/05/2025 09:45

I wish I had ended both of my long term relationships the first time anything like this happened, and neither instance was as bad as that. Years of my life wasted with men who showed me who they were then managed to convince me they weren’t like that at all.

Pianoaholic · 17/05/2025 09:46

Sounds like you need to start potty training him.....

WildflowerConstellations · 17/05/2025 09:46

Oh bloody hell!!! Vomited then shit himself???

I could maybe forgive this once and once only if he was someone who rarely drank and was hugely remorseful/apologetic, decided not to drink after this and cleaned up.

The fact he is blase about it makes me think this could happen again.

Does he drink often?

GoodCharl · 17/05/2025 09:46
