So wound up by ex

So I am separated but not divorced. My exh and I still own a house together which I live in but he lives elsewhere most of the time with family. He is retired and I work full time in a stressful role with long hours.
He came back to stay in spare room for a week as we had work to be done in the house and he was free during the day.

Tonight he has got drunk, played very loud music in the kitchen and (worst of all) left all the gas rings on in an attempt to warm the room. I have to get up at 5 am for work and felt I cannot go up to bed in case there is a fire or explosion. Am crying tears of frustration at how tired I will be tomorrow and how totally fucking selfish and inconsiderate. I want him to go. I don't care there will be no one to let the workmen in. I can't live with thinking I can't sleep as I don't feel safe.

Why did he need the gas rings on for warmth, is there no heating? That is very dangerous.

Because he left the rings on the hob?

He sounds awful. Presumably this is why you are separated :) Do you plan to get the divorce moving? It will be a huge weight off your shoulders when it is over and done with.
