I read a story on Reddit about a woman who accidentally peed the bed after having a “toilet dream” and felt too embarrassed to tell her boyfriend. In the dream, she used a toilet, which led to a small accident in real life. Panicked, she got up, went to the bathroom to finish, and cleaned herself up. She returned to bed, covered the spot with a small blanket, and waited for her boyfriend to wake up.
Once he got out of bed, she poured water on the spot and told him she had spilled water, which he laughed off. While he was none the wiser, she felt overwhelming guilt and shame. She quickly cleaned the area, washed the sheets, and treated the mattress with baking soda, lemon, and soap to ensure there were no stains or odors. She went on with her day but remained deeply embarrassed and uncertain about whether she should come clean about the incident.
You’re being way too hard on yourself! It was an accident, and you handled it responsibly by cleaning everything. If you feel the need to tell your boyfriend, I’m sure he’ll laugh it off like he did with the water excuse. But honestly, if it’s causing you so much stress, it’s okay to let it go, it’s not like anyone was hurt.
Agreed. You’re human, and accidents happen. The way you cleaned up and cared about the situation shows you’re responsible. Don’t let shame eat at you over something so minor. If you decide to tell him, make it lighthearted, he might just find it funny.
Many commenters empathized with her situation, sharing similar experiences to reassure her that accidents like this are more common than she thinks. The consensus was that she wasn’t in the wrong for handling it the way she did and that she shouldn’t let embarrassment weigh her down.
