Sensitive issue getting me down

I’ve kept this to myself for so long as I can’t talk to anyone about it for obvious reasons. My BF has urinary incontinence. He is incredibly sensitive about it as you can imagine which makes it very difficult to talk to him about.

I have enormous sympathy for him and feel guilty admitting that there are aspects of it that really bother me. I understand that he has no control over it but I feel myself getting annoyed when he accidentally puts his pad on inside out and has an accident in bed. Or he will just sleep with it between his legs and it doesn’t work. Also I’m very sensitive to the smell.

I’ve tried hinting but he still does these things. I think he would be mortified if I told him outright that I have a problem with it. I try to be reassuring but there’s an element of discomfort in lying to him.

I don’t know if I’m looking for advice really, just that I needed to get it off my chest.

Do you have a rubber sheet?? Do you get covered in pee?
This is simply not acceptable. You are within your rights to sleep elsewhere in a different house preferably
