My partner purges

I have suspected it for a while. My suspicions were first raised when he said to keep an eye on DS2 (14) as he had been going to the toilet before and after meals and he said I hope he is not making himself sick. It is an echoey bathroom so I know he certainly wasn't doing that! However he raised my awareness and it dawned on me that he might have been speaking from experience because I began noticing that after DP has used the em suite toilet, there is often a 'film' left on the water in the pan, plus some hastily cleaned splatters which I know is vomit. Sorry for graphic but I don't know how else to describe. I notice this happens most days esp after evening meal. I probably should have came here first to ask how I should broach it with him, or even whether I should, but I said to him was his tummy ok, as I'd noticed he'd been sick, and that I had noticed he had been sick most days. He said he just felt full and some foods upset his stomach. I asked him if he knew that purging could sometimes become a problem and he just laughed and said he is absolutely fine. He is more scrupulous with his cleaning up after that conversation but I can still see he has done it every day (I am anal about toilet cleanliness but I feel terrible checking the toilet to see if he has been doing it) I don't know how or even if I should bring it up with him again. Sorry this is long. Any advice would be great.

Ask him if he feels he doesn't have a problem and is fine why he was concerned your DS was doing rhetoric same thing. Explain you're concerned but you know you can't make him stop and when he wants to talk you'll always be there for him.
