My boyfriend is peeing in our room

r/

This has happened quite a bit of times, I don’t want to go into too many details because I don’t want to disrespect him. I’ll just go into what happened this time. He got out of bed, and peed into two of my dressers. He climbed back into bed. I asked him about it and he’s like “I couldn’t make it to the toilet” or something like that. Every time that he has done this though it’s been in places where it can easily be cleaned up. I already had a lot of laundry to do, now I have 2 drawers full that needs to be washed too. I just got hit with “I don’t remember doing that, nothing looks pissed in” like touch it, I know what I saw, feel if it’s wet. I need him to take accountability, I don’t care if he remembers doing it or not, I saw it happen, the evidence is there too as the clothes were wet. I don’t think that’s something to lie about? But then again people will lie about anything these days. I feel like I need this to be made up to me, I need him to do something to make up for this. Clean the apartment, help me do laundry, I don’t know something. I don’t know how to navigate this

    Is he sleep walking?

    I have a friend who does that and has peed in many places he shouldn’t as a result.

    Bruh, this ain’t sleepwalk peeing. Dude’s just straight up disrespecting your stuff and then gaslighting you afterward? Nah, he needs to clean up his act – literally. Get you a guy who knows what a damn bathroom is, sis! U deserve better! 👏👏👏

    Honestly, I could be overreacting but this could possibly be a kink of his. If he doesn’t sleep walk or drink a lot then that could be it, possibly a medical condition but the fact hes acting like it’s no big deal is concerning

  5. unimpressed46 Avatar

    Is this a sudden occurrence? If it is, has anything of note happened around the time it started? Or has he done this before you two got together and moved in? Has he ever sleep walked before? Is it only your stuff he’s peeing on? Why isn’t he cleaning it up and doing the laundry?

  6. Confidenceisbetter Avatar

    Have you talked to him during the day about this? If he doesn’t believe you film him next time. If he is sleepwalking this is excusable. If he isn’t and he is doing this on purpose you should have long broken up with him because this is beyond disrespectful and at that point he is doing it on purpose, whether for a kink or some other messed up reason, but that is not the type of person you should be dating.

    Have him see a doctor or therapist to look into this.

    I’m going to go with, he’s drunk. A guy my in-laws knew used to do this when he was in the midst of raging alcoholism. I’m sorry, OP. Don’t let him sleep there anymore. You can’t be with someone who does things like this. He’s on his own journey and needs to sort that out himself.

  10. Dismal-Passenger675 Avatar

    Bruh, this ain’t normal and def not okay. Sounds like he’s avoidin’ responsibility big time. Dude’s gotta shape up, help clean up his own mess (literally) and maybe see a doc if this keeps happening. Ain’t nobody got time for pissy drawers 🙄💯

  11. nkvsk2k Avatar

    Kind of sounds like he’s not fully awake when he’s doing this. Slap him.

  12. Ekis12345 Avatar

    I’m sorry. But people who pisses into my drawers are not welcome in my bed.

    Plus: he downplays it and let YOU clean it up? What a peeeep

  13. A_million_typos Avatar
    1. Make him clean it up if it happens again
    2. See if hes really awake.
    3. If he is make him sleep in a diaper.
    4. Of he still does it pee in his shoes lol 😆 that’ll teach him!

    Ask him during the day. He might be sleepwalking. Check for carbon monoxide

    Does he drink too much alcohol?

  17. AceyAceyAcey Avatar

    He needs to see a doctor for his sleepwalking before we walks out into traffic or jumps through a window in his sleep.

  18. Infamous_Weird_5267 Avatar

    Buy a plastic bucket or urinal and keep it on his side. It also might be a good idea to see a doctor to rule out anything medical that could be causing this.

    This sounds like behavior of someone who is close to being blackout drunk.

  23. Far_Aside7744 Avatar

    Your bf needs to get medically diagnosed as he may have some type of sleepwalking issues if he is peeing in places other than the toilet. Unless he has some type.of kink about peeing in drawers or other spots easily cleanable,IMO, this is a medical issue that he needs help with

    Wtf.. why are you still with him? And why are you acting like this is somewhat normal behavior that deserves some excuse? Gross. Respect yourself more and dump him. The fact you’d want to stay with a guy who pees in your drawers (regardless of reason) and then downplays it especially by saying “I couldn’t make it to the toilet” says a lot.

  26. New-View-3788 Avatar

    If you have a guest room, keep all of your stuff in there! Make him clean up his own mess. Speak to his mom. If it is sleep walking, it didn’t just start. If he refuses to clean up his mess, you have two choices:

    1: Start sleeping in another room or on the couch until other living arrangements can be made…or
    2. Get use to cleaning up his messes for the rest of your life.

  27. aguacatelife7 Avatar

    How can you not have considered this is sleepwalking? Has he ever done it during the day, like in the afternoon or middle of the morning?

    I knew a guy who would do this a lot when he was drunk. Quite a few times in a wardrobe. least annoying was the wastebasket.

    Put his clothes in the dresser or where he is peeing!

  33. SyllabubFirst4416 Avatar

    Bro, make him live elsewhere. Cleaning up another adult’s piss is nauseating. If he won’t clean it, he moves out!!

  34. Landsharkian Avatar

    He’s saying he didn’t do it so you clean it up is my guess.

    Sit him on the curb with a free sign on his shirt.

  36. Weary_Minute1583 Avatar

    Sleep walking is mistaking a different place for the bathroom. (Lots of sleep walkers in my family). He plainly told he couldn’t make it. It’s not the same.

    He needs to wear a depends undergarment. Just peeing anywhere because he can’t make it is unacceptable and gross.

    Get this dude a bowl or pan. Is he a drunk this is peeing on par with that behavior

  40. SweetMaam Avatar

    He is either suffering from a severe illness, or not the one.

  41. Runamucker07 Avatar

    Yeah this isn’t normal. He isn’t just being lazy. If he isn’t drunk, I’m guessing sleepwalking. Or he at least isn’t fully aware of what is happening.

  42. FireInThemEyes Avatar

    My ex did this, though 99.9% of the time it was after getting drunk. It is a sleepwalking situation either way and could be from drinking too much of anything before bed or not using the tiolet before bed. He could be very embarrassed if he has known about it or even if he isn’t fully aware he does it until now. Either way, he was not justified for implying you made it up. I think it’s important that he does take accountability and clean it up himself because he did it. Thankfully, it has been in spots easy to clean, but it could be a matter of time before it’s not (hoping it doesn’t happen, though).
    There are many men who do this, unfortunately. The only thing I’ve found to help is trying to catch them before they do it, tell them that is not where the bathroom is, and gently guide them to the bathroom (ONLY if you feel comfortable bc they ARE asleep & they may swing and accidentally hit you not realizing who you are).

    He’s either covertly drinking when you’re not looking or he’s sleepwalking. You could buy a cheap security camera and set it up so he can’t deny it. Better yet, get a new boyfriend.

  44. RealTrill1984 Avatar

    Put a camera in the room so you can show him then make him clean it up

    They make things for urinary urgency and incontinence. Like handheld urinals. Even a soda bottle would be better than a drawer.

  50. DMargaretfootgoddess Avatar

    My sister’s second husband used to do things like that when he had been drinking and he drank a lot the clean laundry basket when they didn’t have a washer and dryer waste paper baskets. I think the one that made my sister the most angry though was actually the day he walked out, open the wood stove and peed in there putting the fire out in Winter that pulled her cork.

    You know it sounds like he’s sleepwalking and talking. I don’t know if he’s drinking or on any medication prescribed or non-prescribed, but I would strongly suggest getting him to a doctor for a full physical. Tell them politely that this has been happening and if it was just like in a waste paper basket or a container you had there specifically for it, I could understand it but to open dresser, drawers and pee in them. Yeah, there’s no way for that not to feel personal. I don’t blame you for thinking. You deserve something. And I don’t know set up a camera in your room and video it the next time he does it. And when he says he doesn’t remember it, ask him how he explains it happening. You know they make a lot of little like doorbell cameras in that and a lot of them can be hooked up very easily. But I think at this point you literally need video evidence and if he still maintains he didn’t do it. I’m going to suggest maybe you might not want to live this way the rest of your life

  51. renee4310 Avatar

    You’re worried about disrespecting him? This can’t be real.

    He’s a controlling AH looking to make it clear to you that he can do whatever he wants to you and that he has no respect for you and you’re still going to stay.

  52. Dizzy_Giraffe6748 Avatar

    Was he drunk?
    My ex used to do that shit and it was fucking gross.

  53. TobiasDid Avatar

    Drunk or sleepwalking. He should accept that he is really doing it though, whether he remembers it or not. I have done this a few times, only when very drunk though. It’s not a conscious decision to piss in the wrong places, it’s a blackout sleepwalking stupor.

  54. MaleficentAnt2241 Avatar

    I slept walked and did this once after a night of heavy drinking. Had a full conversation then just whipped my dick out in front of my girlfriend and started pissing 😭

  55. randimort Avatar

    Send him back to mom to wipe his pee up or send him to therapy to find out why he wakes up and pees in the house not the toilet

  56. Youshaoma1962 Avatar

    Gross That isn’t normal behavior

  57. Ok_Performance_8513 Avatar

    get a security camera so if it happens again you can at least show him. he probably is sleep walking which if why he doesn’t remember. i could understand wanting accountability if he was straight up peeing on purpose all the time not in the toilet. that’s not to say he shouldn’t help you clean up though he should be doing that already.

    See thats tricky.

    On the one hand, I agree with taking responsibility for your actions.

    But on the other hand, is sleepwalking (i assume thats what he’s doing) your actions?

    I feel like the questions here is “are you responsible for actions you take unconsciously?”

    You’ve got to be F-ing kidding me? If I were you that would be the end of him PERIOD! How are you disrespecting him? Who knows that you are r/Advice on Reddit. Don’t be ridiculous.

    Personally, I could not be able to deal with this. If a cat did this in my house I would re home it. I think you should think about therapy to ask why you have been allowing this. There are six dollar urinals you can buy at walmart, thats what old people use at night…. Go live your life and let go of him.

    Does he take any sleep meds? If I take Ambien, I will do ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING and not be aware (took hubby a couple times to realize that). Once, I drove someone to the grocery store. Was 100% asleep.

    I had a roommate in college that peed in the room and once in my shoes when he was drunk. No fun. If it’s alcohol related you will want to evaluate if this is how you want to live. If it’s sleep walking I’m not sure what the solution is.

    After the first time my boyfriend did this (sleep peeing in my bedroom), I got a clue and jumped up and shook him awake. He would sleep walk when he drank too much. It only happened a couple of times, thankfully.

    He’s sleepwalking. I have a friend he used to do the exact same thing. Usually after he had been drinking though.

    I see that you didn’t consider sleepwalking. So that means you literally thought he was just pissing in dressers because he felt like it, and were still considering staying with him regardless.

    My ex did this a few times. He was sleepwalking and apparently wet the bed a lot as a child. He didn’t believe me at first bc I think he was shocked. He then felt terrible and made sure he disinfected where he peed. The way he handled it was mature and I made a point for him to not be embarrassed. I’m more concerned with your mans reaction than his action.

    Like others have said on here, it’s probably either sleepwalking or alcoholism. I understand sleepwalking. I wouldn’t remember a thing. I even had relatives say they had full-on conversations with me. So it’s hard to judge in the moment. Definitely film him. That way, there’s no excuses. He can use that to take to a doctor. And if he is not sleepwalking, but rather alcoholism or a kink, you can use the footage to set an ultimatum: clean up your act or I blast this to family and friends.

  123. i_aimtomisbehave Avatar

    Rule outs: 1) medication or substance abuse: is he drinking or on anything when this occurs? 2) secondary nocturnal enuresis and/or sleepwalking. Hx of nocturnal enuresis as a child? If there really is no memory of the act, this may require medical attention. Start with his PCP who may recommend working with a psychotherapist.

    At the minimum, he owes you the respect of taking responsibility for his actions, conscious or not. Whatever that looks like needs to be worked out between you. I would suggest he offer to do the laundry, which sounds fair to me, but that is between you two.
