dh drunk and pissing on floor....advice pls...

[marinotvari]

need some advice about drunk dh. im 7 months preg with dc1.
dh has made a habit recently of getting really drunk about once a week (occasionally more). he usually comes home around 12.30 am, flops on the bed and passes out.I find it very hard being preg and sleeping next to his farting,snoring,booze smelling self so usually get no sleep when this happens.
he was out last night watching the football and he came home in his usual state, fell asleep across the bed, despite me asking him before he went out, to sleep in the sofa bed in the lounge.he woke up after an hour and started pissing ALL OVER THE FLOOR.my back was turned and I know he'd just be a abusive and nasty to me at that level of drunkenness if I had interrupted his comatose peeing, so I never said a word at the time.....but I need some advice about how to deal with this.
he didn't mention it before he left for work this morn but the carpet was obvs wet,I then text him asking if he remembered peeing on the bedroom carpet, no response.he came in from work and it hasn't been mentioned.
do I laugh this off and threaten to buy him a potty and sanitary pads if it happens again, should I get furious (I feel furious) with him and let him know how unacceptable this is, or should I wait for him to bring it up? he hasn't attempted to clean the carpet or anything yet and I'm not doing it for him.
oddly enough it doesn't smell too strong of pee. it's less than a foot away from where our cot is going....

He's had his one chance OP. Don't give him a million chances. Please.

He drank too much and made a horrible mistake, he cleaned up after himself. OK.

But you must not live worrying that it will happen again, you must not be scared to confront him. You must not be scared of ANYTHING regarding your life partner and the father of your child.

Any more fuck ups and you take responsibility for yourself and your baby make changes.

Completely second what ImpulsePineapple says too

He sounds like my ex and you sound like me ten years ago.

I made all the same excuses and stayed and it got worse and worse and worse. Once ds arrived and I was effectively trapped all pretence disappeared and life became hell. He drank every night, did nothing with the dc, verbally abused me near constantly, frequently urinating on the floor or sofa. It was always left to me to clean up.

It's fine to give him this chance but I honestly think you'll be back here and things will only get worse once your baby arrives. I hope not though.

I would honeslty rather raise my baby alone, than with a pisshead.

What AF said

sorry that was supposed to be !!!!!

Op I was with a drunk pisser for 18 yrs.
He ruined all social occasions and holidays.
I tried everything to stop it.
I cannot tell you the relief of being with a partner who I can enjoy socialising with and who can go out abd come home without the drama.
Tell him it's the last time or he's out.
That won't work though so its probably not worth the energy.

am I the only one on MN who see's this kind of thing as part of life

It IS part of life, a common part of life, just like DV, EA, etc. But that doesn't mean it should be put up with.

Notanyanymore - you obviously are lucky enough not to have lived with someone like this!

If this was one drunken incident then maybe, but this seems to be a weekly occurrence plus the op is too scared to say anything to him. This isn't just red flags, this is a whole heap of bunting plus the accompanying brass band. Sadly, I feel he will get worse when the baby is born - my ex did.

So he got drunk and pissed on the floor, it happens!

Not in my life it doesn't. I don't know anyone who's done this.

No, nor do I Morgause

When he's like this, basically you are living in a zoo, animals piss all over, humans should go to the loo.

Totally unacceptable and if he's not mortified by his behaviour then alarms bells should be ringing for you if they are not already.
Hope you can sort him out, he needs it. Good luck OP

My advice is that if he is so drunk he is pissing on the floor he will find the front door locked . How does he expect that it is okay to piss on the floor ?Drink less or sleep in the garden with other animals who are house trained!

You don't have to drink so much . I'mobviously getting old . What'swrong with enjoying two glasses of wine and being in bed by 10?

This thing about it just being an isolated incident....the reason why many posters (I think) say this is not good enough is because this VERY RARELY is an isolated incident. As the OP has said. And also, this type of behaviour can sometimes be linked to other selfish entitled behaviour, eg. Refusing to clean it up, "being abusive" when challenged.
And when the full picture is considered...it's just, meh.

I did work with a guy who pissed in his wardrobe when he was very drunk and found it amusing. I was quite disgusted personally.

Why is everyone so convinced OP is frightened of their DH?
I can be incredibly bad tempered when deliberately woken up ...eg DP knows now that if I fall asleep (sober) on the sofa better to just leave me... otherwise I can be really rude and snappy (was the same with a flat mate once too when they did the same)

(Never have been like that when DCs woke me up though...maybe
cos I see that as necessary whereas I know if I get too uncomfortable on the sofa I will wake up myself so it isn't necessary??? and he used to say 'you can't be comfortable there' - well actually I was thank you very much - grrrr - irrational anger- don't know...Anyway)

If DP said he wouldn't wake me up because I would be rude and abusive - would everyone be saying he was frightened of me? Or understand that he knew I would be in a vile mood and it wouldn't be worth the grief?
Trying to talking to anyone when drunk or even over tired/ hungover is never a good idea -you can't expect to get any rational sense out of them...

Maybe OP's DH is just a bit immature - and hopefully a good talk will make him realise and sort him out - and if things don't change immediately then she probably should LTB...

Apart from the state he has got himself in, & pee-gate, what the hell is he still doing going out on the piss when you are 7 months PG?

Unlikely I know but if you went into early labour he'd be as much use as a chocolate tea-pot.

These nights out have to stop. NOW

An acquaintance of mine would piss in the drawers. That's opening, peeing and closing... Nice. Also in open suitcases. He also did drunken naked sleepwalking and found himself in a travel-lodge lobby, naked in the lift (with no pocket for the keycard..)

unlucky this bit I know he'd just be a abusive and nasty to me at that level of drunkenness if I had interrupted his comatose peeing, so I never said a word at the time

update -

we had a chat last night,I told him how I felt, he was initially a bit defensive, don't think it had occurred to him just how drunk/often it was happening. I didn't tell him or ask him to change any of his behaviour,I know he needs to figure that that on his own. I did tell him how his drunken behaviour made me feel and that it would not be tolerated any longer. how I felt disrespected and unable to confront him while drunk.
he apologised, which seemed very genuine and he also seemed taken aback by how strong my feelings were.so personally I'm chalking this up to immaturity.lesson learned.

I know my husband,I know how he processes things. I have definitely given him something to think about. the line has been drawn and he knows if it is crossed again that I will not tolerate such behaviour. I WON'T stay for the sake of dc, I WON'T let him minimise,I WON'T make excuses for him.

the advice I've received here has been extremely helpful and had helped me confront his drunken behaviour and drinking habits in an assertive, confident way.so thanks everyone.

he cleaned the carpet properly also.

A good outcome i think OP. You can now enjoy the rest of your pregnancy xx

Glad to hear that OP x
