New Partner Wet the Bed

NewManIssue · 15/04/2025 21:55

That’s it, basically.

I met someone about a month ago and it has been fantastic really good fun no issues at all, we’ve done absolutely loads together, met friends of each other and an adult child, and have lots of planned.

He came over yesterday afternoon because we were both off work and we went out for a walk had a few drinks. He made us some food. We had a few more drinks and we were both pretty drunk, I will admit.

The morning when I went over to give him a hug as the alarm was about to go off the bed was soaking, I presumed with sweat…no particular smell at this stage.

I left my bed open to air with a view to stripping the sheets after work, however when I went back in there the whole room reeked of urine and there was a huge stain and it has gone through my mattress topper and my mattress is still soaking wet as are the pillows.

I’ve never experienced this before, Although I know it can be something some men do when they are drunk…

I feel like it’s something I need to speak to him face-to-face about which I could probably do tomorrow when he finishes work at about 9:30pm but otherwise I’m unlikely to see him for a few days.

I feel a little awkward. I don’t want him embarrass him however surely it’s not the first time even if this is the first time with me since I’ve known him.

It’s not a dealbreaker initially, however if it’s a regular thing, it’s definitely a dealbreaker. I think I’m just gonna have to say, I had to sleep on the sofa tonight…the bed was still wet and it wasn’t sweat - which we initially assumed…

If anyone can give me any advice or have experienced this, please shout!

Bloody typical it has been going amazingly well, For the first time in my life, I’m with a man who is more keen on me than I am him (guards up still 🤣)

It would be a deal breaker for me. He will have done it before and has lied in the hope you would think it was sweat. And left you to deal with it with no apology. Not good

Wobblemonster · 15/04/2025 22:07

He must have known? Were you both getting up with the alarm? I can’t believe he didn’t apologise and strip the bed.

Naunet · 15/04/2025 22:09

The fact he said nothing and just left should bother you

howdoyoudooooo · 15/04/2025 22:10

He knew what it was and he’s done it before. Bin him off before this becomes your life.

DurinsBane · 15/04/2025 22:10

He is probably so embarrassed. Be gentle when you talk to him about it….

FortyElephants · 15/04/2025 22:11

He just left the bed full of his piss and left you to clean it up??
This should be a dealbreaker.

NewManIssue · 15/04/2025 22:11

Thank you all- this is kind of where my head was going to be honest. I’m gonna speak to him tomorrow, back to the drawing board!

Any man drinking to the point he wets the bed would be an immediate bin off for me. At the very least he should have been very apologetic and cleaned up after himself instead of leaving you with a puddle of piss and ruined bedding.

LeaveTaking · 15/04/2025 22:12

Did he just leave knowing he had done this?

OnTheBoardwalk · 15/04/2025 22:12

The fact he didn’t say anything is a deal breaker

i don’t know the details but I thought weeing the bed is a sign of very heavy drinking over a period of time

NewManIssue · 15/04/2025 22:13

To be honest I don’t think he realised, But I’ll find that out when I speak to him which is why I want to do it face-to-face…

You've introduced your DC to him/ he has introduced his DC to you?

After a month?

Why do you think this needs to be a face to face conversation? He is more likely to be embarrassed and defensive in person.

He was lying in a soaking wet bed. Of course he realised.

theoriginalpinkpowerranger · 15/04/2025 22:14

He knew!

NewManIssue · 15/04/2025 22:14

I have known friends partners that have done it as a one off when they were very drunk, but I honestly didn’t think he was that drunk….

So maybe it’s just a thing for him and that is a definite dealbreaker! We have definitely been in the same bed and drunk before now… with no issue…

OP posts:
Hollyhedge · 15/04/2025 22:14

He must be really embarassed. That is probably why he left it. There is no way you can deal with that regularly though - you have to talk to him.

NewManIssue · 15/04/2025 22:15

@AlanShoreno not on purpose, but my daughter is 32 and was in the same pub where we had gone for lunch… I don’t think she’s traumatised by meeting him. She certainly doesn’t need a new dad.

OP posts:
BlondeMummyto1 · 15/04/2025 22:15

How old is he?

gamerchick · 15/04/2025 22:15

He knew and left it OP. That's the information you need to mull over.

Dontsayyouloveme · 15/04/2025 22:16

Ick!

Toddlerteaplease · 15/04/2025 22:16

He owes you a new mattress.

FusionChefGeoff · 15/04/2025 22:16

In my experience you have to be really fucking drunk to wet the bed! I’m in recovery and was an absolute mess towards the end of my drinking but I ‘only’ wet the bed twice after inhuman quantities of booze.

I’d suspect this was a sign of a much deeper issue with alcohol and that he was secret drinking on top
of what you had together??

NewManIssue · 15/04/2025 22:16

Well, if he is embarrassed and it’s a regular thing, then I definitely want to do it face-to-face because I will be telling him exactly what I think of him.

For not telling me that this could be an issue and for making out it was sweat and for leaving me with the stinking mess!

ReesesCupcake · 15/04/2025 22:17

Nah, forget that. Throw the man and the mattress out!!
