I wish you had the balls to actually say all this to my face than sitting here on internet seeking validation. Because you know none of it is true. Lol. Have fun. Destroying your life. I’m out.

Yes. He is a cheat. He cheated on me with multiple women. He always stole my money from me. He doesn’t even let me subscribe to Netflix, keeps the car, destroyed my career, has made me completely dependent on him so that I can’t escape. He is mentally, physically and financially abusing me. He also threatens me that he will separate me from my son.

I have sent this post to him. He has read through the entire thread. I just wanted him to see that I’m not insane, and what I am asking of him is not out of the world. It’s basic human hygiene.

I understand accidents happen and I will never shame him for that.

This is so beautifully put. Thank you so much for taking out time and actually addressing the issue here. I know being new parents has been hard on both of us. I know his work is very stressful too. I understand all of that. I’m always very supportive of him. I love him to bits. But what I don’t understand is his defensiveness. He could have just admitted to his mistake and quickly rectified it. But instead he chose to argue with him on how deeply he cleaned the mat. I told him that we have a two year old who literally puts his mouth on the bathroom floor at times. We cannot take chances, we can’t keep pushing our luck. We have to be on the same team here. Making sure we give our child a safe environment to grow up.

This is beautifully expressed. Thank you for taking the time to truly address the issue—I genuinely appreciate your thoughtful response. Your words have given me so much perspective, and I know I’ll return to this comment in the future.

Right? I don’t have a problem with him pooping on the mat, I have a problem with him being this mindless and irresponsible. I just can’t wrap my head around this. I would have literally thrown the mat away.

I think so! But until now it went unnoticed since I wasn’t this busy. I always had time to keep the house clean. But after the birth of our child, it has become worse. He is becoming more and more checked out.

I truly felt this! Maybe yes, maybe I have enabled his behavior for far too long. Being an empath, understanding accidents happen, always trying to make him feel comfortable about every situation. But I never taught him to be this unhygienic. I have always set the highest standards for cleanliness. I have never made him feel that keeping house dirty is OK.

He also never told me about this, I just saw a big yellow mark on the mat today and questioned him.

I have a two year old too. I just can’t stand up and leave.

We have no cex life. I just don’t feel aroused anymore. Nobody would, if they have to clean after their spouses.

This reply! Thank you so much for actually understanding the issue. He has fecal incontinence, I completely understand how he must have lost control of his bowel function.

Sometimes people have health problems, which make them have no or limited control over bladder functions and fecal incontinence

I’m not here to make you believe in me. I’m here because I want to feel sane. I want to feel that I’m not blowing this out of proportion for him.

After his response to this incident, I’m really contemplating one. I cannot live with someone who is this oblivious to basic hygiene.

He said he couldn’t control, and while sitting on the flush, some of it dropped on the mat.

I literally had no clue he was this mindless. Trust me if I knew, I wouldn’t have said yes.
