Moving in with a partner is a big step in any relationship. However, one woman was shocked by her boyfriend’s behavior after he allegedly peed the bed but shrugged it off like it wasn’t a big deal.
The woman shared her story on Reddit, explaining that she’s 23 and recently moved in with her 27-year-old partner. She reveals that she woke up one night recently and felt something damp under her arm. Her boyfriend admitted he may have wet the bed. “I think I peed in my dream and peed in real life,” he allegedly said.
The poster says she was surprised, but was shocked at how he handled the situation. She claims she asked him to clean it up, and he told her it was “fine.” He then grabbed a towel, placed it on the wet patch, and returned to bed. The girlfriend pulled the covers off her partner and demanded he clean up the mess properly. He accused her of overreacting, saying he would clean it in the morning.
Unhappy with his response, she tossed the sheets at him and told him to sleep on the couch. She turned to social media to see if her reaction was justified.
Commenters Weigh In On The Bed Wetting Incident
Unsurprisingly, the comments section is almost unanimously in the girlfriend’s favor, with many suggesting they would have done far worse. One comment, with nearly 3k likes, says, “If he stays doubled down on this I would strongly suggest rehoming him and finding one that’s housebroken.” Another says it’s concerning that he thought it was “appropriate to curl up and sleep in a puddle of pee.”
The woman posted an update the following day, thanking commenters for their insight. She also revealed that he came back from work the following day and apologized. He returned with flowers and her favorite ice cream and said he was sorry for disrespecting and dismissing her. The poster clarified that she appreciated that accidents happen, but was upset at how he shrugged it off. She claims her boyfriend bought a new mattress cover, but she won’t let him in the bed until it’s on.
Many commenters on the updated post believe the outcome was positive. One wrote, “He came to his senses, apologized, and took accountability. That’s more than most people on this platform can manage. Sounds like a keeper and all’s well that ends well.” Others took the opportunity to crack jokes. One user recalled, “I trusted a fart in bed once. Shouldn’t have.” Another chimed in with a pearl of wisdom we should all live by, “Never use the Dream Toilet.”
