Partner has wet the bed…

WFHbore2023 · 30/05/2025 14:31

41 year old healthy man, never happened before, completely sober. Obviously this is concerning (and my main concern) and he will contact his doctor.

woke me up this morning saying that we need to get up and change the bed, obviously not ideal but he’s embarrassed so I just crack on. He helps me strip the bed and then goes off to shower.

I’m working today, he’s taken the children out for the day, and so I have been left with a superking duvet to wash and dry, along with mattress topper, protector, sheets and any other bedding.

AIBU to be pretty pissed off that he’s just cracked on with his day without so much as a conversation over whether or not I was ok to sort everything out this end?

Well I gotta say, i agree with you in that,
So long as this kind of expectation doesnt continue and secondly, no health factors at play.

Youre wrong! One strike and you’re out! She has already put up with enough disrespect. No second chances here and no excuse at all for what he did.

It’s hysterical how hysterical some people can get over a bit of extra labour on behalf of someone you love.

Nah. I’m with op on this one. He can clean his own pissy pants 😆

OP really was treated with a lack of respect.
It's sad that you joke about it.
It's sad that you find it acceptable.

Maybe you should take a look at yourself?
And I mean that in a kind, helpful way

Your big comments on laundry below. From someone who doesn’t even know as an adult how to operate a washing machine. I am so embarrassed for you!

‘My husband is a good guy. He wouldn’t have to check with me first. I would offer first.’

‘So what exactly is the issue about a load of washing that you normally do anyway? That it’s human urine? That you have to touch it? That you have to smell it? If it’s not the act of putting on a wash cycle then what is the actual problem?’

‘So I am well aware that everyone’s marriages are different but I would genuinely WANT to help my husband with this.’

‘It’s hysterical how hysterical some people can get over a bit of extra labour on behalf of someone you love.’

‘They stripped the bed together!!!!! All she had to do was put it in the washing machine and press go!!!!’

‘They stripped the bed together. She just had to put it in the machine. That’s all.’

‘Yes we know. She washed them down by stream on a rock. You should see the callouses on her hands poor woman.’

‘Oh poor woman! So she was going to do 3 loads and the 4th was the straw that broke the camels back. The horror of an extra load.’

You're literally the one saying how all she had to do was load a wash?! What's the big deal?!

Do you have MPD?

Gosh. This must be so important to you that you had the time to copy and paste all that.

You all need a little bit of perspective.

ThatsNotMyTeen · 31/05/2025 15:30

I know what you mean OP. It’s just the being taken for granted isn’t it

diddl · 31/05/2025 15:31

I got woken at 6:40,

6.40?

Surely that was plenty early enough for him to sort it all out & still have time to take the kids out?

At that time I'd have been going to the spare bed & leaving him to it!

Helloworlditsmeagain · 31/05/2025 15:31

Petitchat · 31/05/2025 15:12

Where has OP said that's all she cares about?
Can't find it anywhere?

How many people would complain on the internet about the washing if their partner did something out of the ordinary that could potentially be life threatening. You obviously need it in writing 🙄

No. But at least you may all now have something else to focus on other than some poor bloke who wet his bed and his wife is enraged by it.

I really think people should stop engaging with that particular poster. I'm not entirely certain they are just being a bit mischievous on a boring Saturday, i think theres something else going on 😔

What could possibly be going on? Other than a bunch of women completely having their panties in a knot about a guy wetting the bed and having to do a load of washing?

You all need some real problems to give you some perspective.

I am quite bored actually. It didn’t take me too long though. And it was worth it for the laugh it gave me.

I’m mid-air on a long haul flight. I don’t have anywhere to go. My family are all here with me in their respective seats.

Sweet pea. Having never done any laundry in your life, what possible perspective can you give that anyone will take seriously?

I did two loads of laundry this morning at 3 am. That’s not my norm though 😂

Sorry, aren’t we supposed to be the hysterical ones?

where did you pull that absolute garbage from?

because it’s certainly not from any of my posts.

Darling… you don’t know what I’ve done for my husband and what he has done for me without asking. If only doing the washing was as complicated as life got.

Yup, embarrassing!
