Maybe it's for the best...

I ended yesterday with a guy I was dating for few months...

Feeling very sad now...

He got drunk and felt very low. Then ended up being sick in the street, plus all night in the house.

While he was sitting on the bench I went to bring him a glass of water and a cup of strong coffee. That was around 9pm, still people around.
When I came back he was doing something and when I asked what he was doing he said he was peeing.

I care for him and never seen him like that before. Felt really bad for him, for his health and for everything.

I know in the longer run I won't be able to handle it, thus I sent him an email saying I was stepping back.
He wanted me to see his other side from his words, and that was only part of it.

I don't drink myself but can handle someone drinking and being tipsy... I'm not judging him or anybody else, just don't want a future like that. In case we would end up having kids, I wouldn't want them to see their father like that and think it is normal.

Please say I have done the right thing... Or have I overreacted?

He wet himself?

How old are you both?

Inexperiencedchick · 09/08/2018 18:25

He didn’t wet himself, he took his willy out of his trousers and managed to do it in the street.

We are not young, but seems he can’t drink if he gets pissed like that...

I think you've done the right thing.

If he doesn't have self control enough to find a toilet when he needs to wee, then honestly I wouldn't be able to scrape together any sexual feelings towards him.

It did actually made me feel no desire towards him afterwords, plus him being sick on the street...
I was so upset with his behaviour and angry that he loses himself like that...

How long have you been together? He does sound a bit of a prat.

I think you’ve done the right thing OP, well done for having standards/boundaries. It’s sad when things don’t work out but worth remembering that you’re sad because it wasn’t what you’d hoped it might be, not because you’ve lost something that would have made you happy, he wouldn’t have in the long run.

I did say to him that that should have been a very nice evening and not me trying to walk him home.
I couldn’t sleep until he feels a bit better and can lay in bed. And was pushing him away all night when he tried to touch me. I was very angry at him.

I was asking myself that evening that I came from work to meet him and have a nice time after a stressful day at work. And didn’t deserve being upset and have tears in my eyes. I just couldn’t accept this whole situation. But still because I care for him, sent him a very kind email stating that “I’m stepping back and thanked him for allowing to get to know him and for beautiful memories. Wished him all the best in everything.”

I had better options in my life to be honest...
