New to writing on Reddit and on mobile so obligatory apologies.
I think this is the place I’m supposed to post this here, but it’s a pretty funny and wholesome story. If not, redirect me where to post the story.
So me (45 female) kept getting pissed off that my husband (52 male) kept peeing on the floor around the toilet. We’ve been together 12 years. For these 12 years, I’ve been getting pissed off that he’s been missing the toilet and peeing on the floor. I’m sick of getting wet socks when I go to the toilet and it’s so annoying and frustrating and to be frankly disgusting. Ive been sick of cleaning up his pee. I’ve not yelled at him, but have sternly talked to him about it and he swears that he is not missing the toilet. I keep arguing “Then why is there so much pee all around the toilet?” He is confused and started sitting down to pee. Even after he started sitting down to pee, there is still pee all around the toilet and I kept asking him, “Are you putting your penis down into the toilet or is it springing out of the toilet?” He looked at me very confused and said “No! I am peeing into the toilet. I don’t know why there is still pee all around the toilet.”
I’ve asked him if he feels emasculated by sitting down to pee, and he has actually told me it feels more comfortable to sit down to pee. So I’m assuming I’ll have to be the asshole for that.
Several months have gone by and then I realized … my dog drinks out of the toilet. He is a slobbery gross Doggo. He’s the best, but he drools and slobbers everywhere. These past years, it has not been my husband getting his pee everywhere, but the dog drinking out of the toilet and slobbering all over the floor. (Yes, we flush. My slobbering hound isn’t drinking pee water.)
As soon as I realized this, I apologized profusely to my husband that I’ve been giving him shit for the past 10 years for peeing on the floor.
So I guess Reddit, am I the asshole for giving my husband shit for peeing on the floor when this whole time it’s actually been my dog drinking out the toilet and slobbering everywhere?

NTA, you didn’t know better
YTA.
There’s a big difference between urine and water. I don’t feel like it would have been that difficult to realize the difference, especially considering this has been happening for 10 years.
It’s great that you apologized, but yeah. YTA because your husband and dog certainly are not.
When you blame someone for something they didn’t do, yes that makes YTA. One sniff of your socks would tell you whether it’s pee or water.
you went with what info you had at the time, but your old doggo might want a water fountain type water bowl if he keeps going to the toilet. But for ten years you never noticed the loud SCHLORP happening whenever dog wanted a drink?
10 years up is too long, YTA definitely coz you’d definitely try to find out as soon as possible when your husband denied.
Did it never happen when your husband wasn’t home?
Maybe it was both

🤮
NTA we once blamed my cat for peeing on the floor two days in a row in the bathroom. It was my visiting uncle.
Why don’t you put the toilet seat down before you flush? YTA for that alone.
YTA
Your partner have been telling you for 10years he has not being doing what you have been accusing him of, and you decided to not believe him…
We found out that our toilette leaked after two years.
facts are facts.
YTA coz you were wrong.
Why are your wearing your socks into the toilet. Get some toilet slippers that stay in the toilet
I gotta go with ESH because who tf doesn’t put the toilet seat down after using it. I was taught at a young age that after I’m done using the toilet, PUT THE SEAT DOWN.
I mean, I dont think there is any point in bringing this to AITA. Who is the A doesnt matter. You blamed your husband, you realized you were wrong, so you apologize. Move on. Maybe just when in the future, believe your husband more. That might’ve prevented you from continueing to blame him, and you wouldve had a more investigative mindset instead: “Perhaps the toilet is leaking? Where is it coming from if not my husband?” Apologize. Change your mindset a little. Move on.
OP, just remember when your dog kisses you all over your face that tongue still has poo particles.
Please have your husband read this to avoid further poo contamination, he gets enough of it from you.
😏😉
yta. Close👏🏻the👏🏻lid!
YTA, your poor husband. Why would he immediately get the blame when you admit you have a disgusting dog that drinks from the toilet?
You’re horrible and so is your dog.
NTA. There was still pee there and now he sits. Shut the toilet lid though!!
That poor guy! Yeh, it’s pretty funny.
I have questions.
What else do you have a go at your husband for?
Is there a chair in the corner of your bedroom?
So this is a light-hearted one but what gets me is that he told you it wasn’t him and you didnt believe him. Then he changed his behaviors to make it impossible to be him and you still didn’t believe him. That really really sucks for him and is not good partner behavior. You’re supposed to trust him and should have looked into what else it could have been like your dog or a leaking toilet a long time ago instead of just insisting that he’s lying. Calling your husband a liar for the past 12 years is pretty shitty. YTA.
Using a paper towel to wipe up the “pee” and it didn’t even have a hint of yellow to it, you couldn’t tell it wasn’t pee? That was my biggest indicator that my dog had been splashing around in there. Kept wiping it up disgusted at my roommate, then realized a week later while roomie was out of town, “oh wait, he’s not here and this paper towel doesn’t even have a yellow tint to it…. sniff that’s water”
What about the skid marks (boo boo stains) in his whitey tighties?
Nta
I mean, does this really belong in aita? You know you were wrong and just wanted to post the story. Put it in tifu or mildlyinfuriating or something. This isn’t a cutesy sub to lol over your mistake and then ask if it was really a mistake, when you know it is.
It’s not even a question. You are an asshole.
Have you ever heard of the word ‘dignity’? It’s really useful in treating people in a dignified way.
YTA.
YTA. This is not funny or wholesome.
Girl, have you taken the time to check if it’s you? Maybe you’re sitting forward on the toilet and it’s coming out between the lid and bowl.
ESH….Neither of you thought to lower your toilet seat lid when flushing? (Do you not know the ick that splashes out all over when flushing?)
Not once in 10-12 years, neither of you did not notice your dog drinking out of the toilet?
Not once did either of you when cleaning this mess, not notice the lack of urine smell?
One can only hope that those you personally know do not read this post, because they will be looking at your home in a whole new light the next time they visit said home.
YTA. I have a young son who misses the toilet often. I also have a toilet drinking dog. ( she prefers my master bath potty water not the kids bathroom) it’s a very different smell. Urine on the floor cleaned or not would leave a horrendous stain and non stop odor over ten years. You aren’t very aware of what’s happening around you I see.
YTA
Unless you use “toilet slippers” (toire surippa) in your house, YOU’RE just as responsible as they are!
YOU’VE been spreading urine and feces particles throughout your house too!
Yes, of course YTA.
“Are you putting your penis down into the toilet” I’d have spent the night at my brother’s house for that one
Weird! For 12 years. If I was him, I’d have called you every time “Honey! I’ve just taken a piss! Come & see, nothing on the floor!”…and insisted that you witness the evidence with your own eyes.
There were 5 boys in our family. We all shared age-appropriate chores to lighten the load on Mum. Dad would have been down like a ton of bricks if one of us had left pee on the floor for her to clean up. So I always checked before flushing & wiped the sprinkles up with a little toilet paper…& I’ve been sitting down since childhood , to save the bother 🤣🤣🤣 also, it prevents the splashy noise (so considerate lol).
Some guys are disgusting, I see it in public toilets & at work. Disgusting. Sometimes even not lifting the seat, & leaving that wet too.
I work in a hospital & you get blokes who can barely stand for whatever reason (e.g. injury, or low blood pressure & feeling faint, or drunk etc) who still want to stand up WTF? Even with a stroke, paralysed down one side…so he’s on one leg, holding onto the railing with one hand, can’t use the other to aim…& still has to stand up but sprays it everywhere🙄 Gross pig.
NTA
We have had dogs for over 20 years. That’s why we close the lid.
How did it take ten years to put that together?
I am just wondering if you got the “guys pee on pee floor” angry circle jerk going on in your head, needed a fight to pick and him to blame?
These are the questions you need to ask. Ten years? That’s fucked.
As someone whose husband does occasionally pee on the floor, I understand you. Poor guy though!
YTA. Put the toilet lid down.
ESH for leaving the lid up for years while knowing your dog drinks out of the toilet.
