How bad was this??

Hope this won't seem trivial or be too 'trigerring'. I've posted several times recently about H who 1) got a new puppy against my wishes 2) sent me a link to an article about ASD which i think i have but it really upset me. He generally is being very selfish and has always been like this. We have sort of been living separately (2weeks) as there is a place he can stay (other house) which is more puppy friendly as our house has carpets. Which the puppy has peed on, i don't blame her but it's upset me a bit. He wants me to stay in the other house but i don't...I work full time and i like my routine. Which supports his suggestion of ASD but he won't consider my needs at all, thinks I could just bring a spare shirt and go from there.

So last night we were having dinner (at the carpet house) as I'm trying to hold it together and avoid increasing bad feeling, thinking maybe it's just the stress of a (his) new puppy. He spilled a plate of Indian food onto the beige carpet. I didn't get mad, just said he needed to clean it up. He was faffing doing it badly and I said to him I'd do it (a bit of passive aggressiveness from me) then basically he told me i was doing it wrong, etc....Then I said 'its a good thing I got a quote for new carpet' and he got furious with me, said i should have asked him first. Which sent me into a rage, all I'd done was go into the shop and ask about prices which the guy had written down for me. Anyway it culminated in us both apologising but then he got angry later when he had to leave with the puppy, I wasn't begging him to stay i guess. His ideal situation would have been that i went to the other place (walking distance) but I said no.

Anyway. This morning I'm leaving for work, I see he's vomited on the steps on his way out. I just had to clean it up.

Not sure how to feel about this Confused

Your DH vomited or his puppy did?

Cricrichan · 05/04/2017 08:39

You live together and he got a puppy against your wishes??

Joysmum · 05/04/2017 08:40

From what you written, he has a history of expecting you to be more flexible accommodate his wants above yours at the cost of your happiness.

That's (unsurprisingly) continuing now you live apart. It's all about what he wants with little consideration of you. His puppy, his problem.

FabulousUsername · 05/04/2017 08:58

He vomited, not the puppy. Been years since I've had to clean it up, i was wretching!

He vomited on the steps and you cleaned it up? Is he seriously ill?

FabulousUsername · 05/04/2017 09:09

No he has a sensitive stomach and we'd had Indian food. He didn't tell me he'd done it (no text saying 'sorry i was sick on the steps') and it was a total surprise when i almost stepped in it.

He does like sympathy when he's ill so I'm wondering if he's trying to manipulate me.

????
A grown man vomited on the step to the house and just left it??

TBH this whole thing is bizzare.
Is this a rented house? Have you split up?

FabulousUsername · 05/04/2017 09:49

Yes Max... He did. Left it. I've no idea whether I'm supposed to feel sorry for him (oooh poor man ill) or be furious. I just feel numb! Not rented, we own both. It's complicated and i realise it sounds bizarre.

Get him to move out permanently

Finola1step · 05/04/2017 09:52

Are there dc involved?

FabulousUsername · 05/04/2017 09:54

No DC at home, they've grown up and moved out. Don't know what they'd make of his behaviour or whether he'd have donr it if they were hete

He sounds like a strange fish.

JustMumNowNotMe · 05/04/2017 09:57

I cannot get over the vomiting, who the hell does that! Not a chance would I be cleaning it up, I'd be too busy chucking his stuff out. He clearly has no respect for you at all OP

Shoxfordian · 05/04/2017 10:00

This is so disgusting
He vomits outside your house and just leaves it for you to clear up
He spills food on the floor and again expects you to clear it up

Are you in a relationship or are you his maid? I hope you get above minimum wage for this shit

sonlypuppyfat · 05/04/2017 10:01

What an odd relationship

FabulousUsername · 05/04/2017 10:04

It's out of character for him to vomit on the step Smile of course! I just don't know if the anger I'm feeling is justified.

rainbowstardrops · 05/04/2017 10:08

So he gets a puppy against your wishes and expects you to move out?
He then gets mad at you for getting a quote for a new carpet because you didn't agree it with him first?
He then throws up and leaves it for you to find in the morning?
Is he completely well? Confused

iwasagirlinavillage · 05/04/2017 10:57

His behaviour is more than a little bit odd.

plainjanine · 05/04/2017 14:12

OP, I've read your previous thread about the puppy purchase.

I think it's maybe time you ask yourself what you get from this relationship and whether the good outweighs the seemingly increasing ill-will between the two of you.

He seems to have little respect for your feelings or opinions. Is it possible he's being a dick in the hope you'll end it, so he can play the victim? Maybe not, but in any case, he seems to be being a dick.

For some reason his puking on your door step feels deliberate to me, have a rare LTB from me

tipsytrifle · 05/04/2017 14:31

I hope I'm wrong but he spilled spicy food (that stains forever) on the carpet. Puppy has weed on carpet. He has thrown up on doorstep. Could he be trying to degrade your home enough that you find it unbearable and choose to leave? I'm sure that's some dark nightmare I've dreamed up after knowing too many psychos in this life. But still, it's bizarre and intolerable behaviour.

I don't understand why your independent action regarding a new carpet is bad when he bought a puppy independently. Is this all some kind of twisted power game invented by him? You may well have ASD, I don't know, but maybe that's another arrow in his quiver too?

Who owns which house or are both jointly owned?

Whatatododo · 05/04/2017 14:36

Why didn't you leave it for him to clean up himself?

Happyinthehills · 05/04/2017 15:02

How bad is this? Seriously bad.
Frankly I think Guilty and Tipsy have it spot on - it's seems deliberate.
I would have texted him to clear up his mess.
