I am absolutely LIVID my disgusting partner has caught our children's stomach bug and so far this morning i have found:

Diarrhea around the toilet bowl and underside of toilet seat.

Shitty pants on the floor of the bathroom (same distance from toilet as the bin).

Shit stains in the bed.

He has gone to work. Yes, I know.

My aibu is that unless bedbound you are NEVER too ill to clean up your own shit. I have never, ever been too ill.

To avoid a dripfeed YES he has done this before. Vomited all over toilet seat and floor and said was too ill to clean it up. Again I was furious. If you got out of bed to vomit you can quickly spray and wipe it.

Completely unacceptable, unless there is someone paid to clear this up.
You have to tell him, if it happens again there have to be consequences. He should do the washing up , take the bins out, strip the beds and remake them for at least a month to make up fore it.

She's not his mum!

That's what you'd do if a teenager had done this, it's marginally better them his expectation of her cleaning it up as though he's small child, but neither is appropriate for an adult.

I had to clean up diarrhea this morning.

But, it was my dog. She had no way of understanding she was ill beforehand and no access to the outside to go to the toilet. I can deal with that. A grown man is an ENTIRELY different story!

Absolutely disgusting. Thank god i dont live with a man anymore.
I could not deal with that.

Leaving diarrhoea around the house isn't actually a thing that normal men do, so the chances are you wouldn't have to 'deal with that'.
