writes: I'm having an odd problem. My fiance and I generally sleep in the nude. We're always very close and snuggled up, wrapped around one another. Thursday night, we were sleeping and I was having a bizarre dream that basically ended with me going to the restroom when it sort of hit me and I woke up with a startle to realize that I had trickled a little bit...and worse...I got some on him. It wasn't a full fledged "bed-wetting" type thing, but enough to warrant some embarrassment. Luckily for me, I played it off like I was really sweaty and he never thought anything of it...unless he just didn't say anything. Then, last night, I don't even recall dreaming when I startled awake again and felt a slight drip again. I was far enough away to where I don't think he felt anything that time around, but still. Why on earth would this just start happening? Bladder infection? I have never had this problem...EVER! I don't drink anything before bed. How am I supposed to prevent this before I end up full fledged wetting myself, the bed...and worse, HIM?! It's embarrassing. I also think it'd be best to start wearing clothes at night, but how could I explain that to him without revealing the embarrassing issue?

I don't have the same problem you do but pretty similar. I used to sleep nude with my husband all the time, and we sleep very close together just like you say you do. Well I never actually peed any but I got to where I would wake up feeling like I was going to pee everywhere any second! I was sooooo afraid I was going to pee all in the bed so I just started wearing panties to bed and I haven't felt like that since. I guess just the air getting to me or not having anything up against me made me feel like that. My husband did ask at some point ask me why I quit sleeping naked and I just told him the truth, that for some reason I felt like I needed to pee really bad without panties on at night and it was uncomfortable. He just kind of made a face like "hmmmm wonder why?" but hasn't ever said anything else about it. Just sleep in panties and if he asks just tell him the truth, if he loves you it shouldn't be that big of a deal. My husband didn't seem to think it was at all.

It could be a urinary tract infection causing this; in which case you'd need some anti-biotics so it may be worth a visit to the doctor.I don't think you shouldn't be embarassed about telling your fiance about the problem; if you know each other well enough to be engaged, you should know each other well enough to discuss this kind of thing without getting embarassed about it.

The first time may have been a pure accident, i rememebr having the same dream myself the last time i had an "accident" many many years ago tho. IS it possible that this second time is because its playing on your mind, and your worried about it happening? so your thinking about it... and end up having the same dream again resulting in the same problem.Obviously wearing clothes would be a good solution, and may take the worry away form you then after a few nights/weeks go back to sleeping as you are now, after no reoccurances.as to what to tell him... why not tell him the truth? There is alot to be said about an understanding borfriend, surly he would help and understand? I know I would if My girlfriend confided this in me, it would even reasure her feelings for me as it would show she feels confortable enought around me to tell me that kind of embarrising personal problem.It may be worth going to see your GP and speaking them him/her also incase there is a medial cause.HTH

Just wear some panties, he most likely won't comment on it. If he does I'd probably just tell him the truth. It's really no big deal.
