Help i have no idea how to deal with this... Regarding dp beyond drunk, A bit gross

449 replies

Close2breaking · 04/03/2012 00:51

Im so upset right now its beyond belief.

Bit of background, Me and Dp have been having 'chats' now over the last couple of weeks about how im getting seriously pee'd of with things around the house. Things like clean clothes and washing being dumped on the floor, shoes coats etc being dumped anywhere, stuff not being put back where it belongs. Im masssively pregnant and have pgp so ive explained things are getting much harder and more painful for me to do. He agrees yes ok fair point he will be more aware to try not to make more work for me to do then needed

Tonight. He goes out 'for a few' with friend we shall call X instead of me and him going for a meal. Thats fine in itself but i no when X and him are together it tends to turn into a few hundred drinks. Left me sat up waiting as he wouldnt be late. He left at 6 maybe and has just strolled through up to bed. Saw him getting out of the taxi walking rather strange so i think wonderful his drunk.

He gets in bed and i think wow he stinks of alcohol and well... crap. Say have you trumped? No. ok awesome walk down stairs to get a drink this smell is horrific. I find his tshirt on the conservatory floor with shit smears all over it. His jeans full of crap in the washer. Have a cry and go upstairs to get him out of bed. Stands up obviously hasnt been bothered to wash or even wipe theres now crap all over half the bed and some on myself. Im mentally breaking down at this point. His obviously sat on the sofa too as it stinks. Send him for a bath which he apparently has had and cleaned himself and i then find 'it' all over some towels. the downstairs toilet looks like both ends have exploaded and stinks beyond anything ive ever known.

Ive tried to get anything out of him like WTF has happened, why didnt he do anything about it, where the hell his boxers are, why the hell did he get in bed next to me like that. apparently he didnt know. which is bollox because if he hadnt known he would have got undressed upstairs and he wouldnt have put his jeans in the wash.

I dont know what i ever expect anyone to say but obviously i dont feel i can rant about this in RL so even if no one says anything its off my chest a little :) . Seriously where do i take it from here? What am i suppose to say to him.

And no i am not the poo troll unfortunatly this is what my sat night has become and i have name changed

Sorry Have just realised this is in Relationships Projectors paradise

Calamityboo · 04/03/2012 13:30

Hi closetobreaking, how are you today? did shitty clean his shit up? has he apologised many many times? are you ok? Thanks

SixtyFootDoll · 04/03/2012 13:34

He should be grovelling big time,I hope he is.
I'd be staying away until he does.

flippinada · 04/03/2012 13:34

"Sorry Have just realised this is in Relationships Projectors paradise"

Can you explain what you mean by that comment Amber?

I would imagine most mature adults (male and female) would find this sort of thing massively distressing and disrespectful, at the very least.

If you think getting so incapable through drink that you soil yourself and smear it all over the house is in any way acceptable or normal behaviour that's your look out.

Deadsouls · 04/03/2012 13:36

Oh no that's really gross and disgusting, I just can't even imagine, oh no, make him clean it up

AThingInYourLife · 04/03/2012 13:37

"Well, on a practical level, ditch the jeans and the pants (get him to put them in a black plastic sack) and only wash the lightly soiled towels/bedding on a boil wash."

No.

Don't involve yourself with clearing up the shit he smeared all over your house.

It's clear he expects you to do that for him.

It's not your job.

It's nobody's job to clean up another adult's shit because they drank so much they lost control of their bowels.

noddyholder · 04/03/2012 13:40

I agree do not get involved in any of it. The projectors paradise statement says it all really Sad

Close2breaking · 04/03/2012 13:40

I'm not telling anyone because well what a chuffing mess.

But I dont think I'm being a evil controller for not wanting my washing machine full of shit.

He has text saying he will be coming home and sleeping in the kids bed again anyway so no doubt I'll get back to a shitty washer anyway.

I'm now on route for a carvery with family. However if they hadn't offered to take me I would now be heading back to my shitty home.

And it's snowing Grin

DressDownFriday · 04/03/2012 13:44

I've got to sort of agree with amber.

Totally crap (pardon the pun) situation but lets not run away with things. Within a few posts this thread has resulted in urging OP to leave him and even offering benefit advice.

I have no sympathy towards him and would have been absolutely furious but lets see how his behaviour is when OP gets home before making assumptions about the future.

Close2breaking · 04/03/2012 13:44

Sorry think I may have miss read the controlling abuser bit Blush

No I don't particually think his made any real attempt of a apology

I feel a bit better and will feel tons better when I find a loo and some food Grin. I just find it upsetting his not really done anything about it.

Yes he couldn't use the washer but theres a whole downstairs loo room that needs sorting too

He spent the morning in bed instead Sad

If its not cleaned up when you return home, I would grab a bag, and tell your OH that you won't be coming back until it's sorted.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 04/03/2012 13:46

Not telling anyone about this (except MN) keeps you in your hole that he has dug for you. What about the next time?. There will perhaps be another occasion where he returns home drunk out of his skull.

I would remind him as well that you will not be responding to any text messages that he sends as this is non communication. This is too important an issue anyway for any exchange of text messages.

SixtyFootDoll · 04/03/2012 13:47

Well put second coming

chocoraisin · 04/03/2012 13:49

I agree what he should be doing is a Kim and Aggie style home makeover.

However, to lose control of his bowels one might assume he was pretty much suffering from alcohol poisoning levels of drunkeness, no? I'd imagine the 'sleeping it off' may be more of a necessity than a blatant disregard for OP.

I think some serious words are in order, but would go as far as to say probably not until 48 hours or so post incident. And, I would be concerned about him driving 70miles away with his 9yo DS given that it's highly likely he's still going to be over the limit to drive at any point today. Just a thought.

chocoraisin · 04/03/2012 13:51

just to qualify... I don't mean that its ok for him not to clean for 48 hours. Obviously he should clean as soon as physically possible, and OP you should not help.

I only mean a sensible conversation needs a sober partner. From the sounds of things that probably isn't any time today?

AmberLeaf · 04/03/2012 13:54

If you think getting so incapable through drink that you soil yourself and smear it all over the house is in any way acceptable or normal behaviour that's your look out

I have at no point said its acceptable so please dont imply that I have.

flippinada · 04/03/2012 14:04

Ok Amber. I'm quite astonished you don't think this is a big deal though.

It's a pretty huge, massive, show stopping deal. His behaviour has been really disgusting and he hasn't even shown remorse for putting Close through this ordeal (and yes, I do mean ordeal).

Bohica · 04/03/2012 14:17

Horrible situation for you to be in, I would let him ride out his day of shame and leave him to tidy up.

Enjoy your carvery.

AmberLeaf · 04/03/2012 14:25

I do think its a big deal though!

I think OPs DH needs to address his drinking habits/behavior while drunk, I think that is the big deal.

I just dont agree that OP needs to start looking into what benefits shes entitled to so she can escape her obviously abusive husband based on whats written here.

If he'd done that while ill with a D&V virus although it would still be disgusting he wouldnt be getting slated, the fact that he did it while intoxicated makes it self inflicted on his part so he rightly deserves no sympathy for what happened or for the hangover hes probably nursing today.

but doing that while drunk doesnt automatically mean hes abusive.

It means he quite probably cant handle alcohol without shameful behavior and so needs to stop.

flippinada · 04/03/2012 14:30

Fair enough Amber - I've obviously misinterpreted what you said and I apologise.

It may not automatically = abusive but it does = a massive amount of disrespect. Plus he isn't being remotely apologetic or showing any remorse. That's not great, is it.

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 04/03/2012 14:32

My Dad used to do this once or twice a year - go out on a bender and get so drunk he lost control of his bowels. It's one of the many reasons I no longer have a relationship with him.

Once I was old enough I used to help my Mum clear it up whilst he was sleeping it off stinking up the house with his foul intoxicated fumes, it's not the same as clearing up as after a child ( and I'm the absolute queen of catching vomit/poo in my hands rather than scrub a carpet) OP - you really need to nip this in the bud and he needs to get it through his skull that it's absolutely unacceptable. I wish I could give you more advice but it pushes so many buttons with me that all I want to do is tell you to tell him to fuck the fuck off, which isn't very helpful Blush

lovesineffable · 04/03/2012 14:39

I think the lack of remorse is almost as bad as the initial act :(

AmberLeaf · 04/03/2012 14:41

Flippinada, please dont apologise, its fine Smile

I really do think this is bad, im just coming at it from a different angle.

noddyholder · 04/03/2012 14:43

amber what did you mean by projectors paradise?
