Hi Beth!

As your current DS friend, I really want you to be covered with support in this matter. One suggestion is to approach your friend(s) in a friendly manner with the news. Keep in mind that it is your personality that makes you and not the problem itself. Studying too hard on what to say will cause feelings of embarrassment, but this is a temporary feeling, as you see the practical part of the matter, and this is that you are not helpless because of bedwetting, nor are you disabled by it. You are still a very kind and gentle person with a lot more good going for you than this special issue, dear one. Friends may be told; however to accept your condition is not the problem for a true friend. Friendship is a powerful force and all relationship go through many test in order that the relationship grows with integrity and honor. The honor is that you trust your friends to love and support you while in this condition, and this should be their reaction: to honor you, and please settle for nothing less than their love, honor and respect for who you are, no matter what you tell of yourself, for with the less of the matter this is really not friendship. And you deserve better and true friends.

Hi Beth
Oh how I remember this! kept me single for quite a while! But then I met someone and when I knew that things were getting serious I just plucked up the courage and told her. I reckoned that if this killed the relationship it probably wasn't going anywhere anyway. We will have been married for 20 yeas this year and have three wonderful children so I am jolly glad I did.
I have told others along the way and not once have I ever had a bad reaction. Experience has taught me that it is far better and easier to tell them than explain away a wet bed the following day.
Best wishes

These guys above know exactly what they are talking about! Listen to them

I have been a bed wetter all my life i never out grew it. I was scared to tell my girlfriend. When i finally told her she was understanding. i was scared to tell her.

When a girl crawls into my bed and feels the rubber sheet, it brings on a question pretty quickly. I then tell her I have some lingering "occasional" bedwetting issues and the rubber sheet saves the drama. Since I do have the occasional dry night, not totally a fib. Believe it or not, most could care less or know someone else with a similar condition. I as shocked at how many tell me there brothers were teen wetters.

Actually my then girlfriend now wife of 10 years told me first about her childhood bedwetting. Like me she was seldom dry as a kid but unlike me became dry at about 11 years old. This made it easy for me to admit to being a bedwetter until my 20s. I didn't expect to be wetting the bed agin and it was a shock to wake up to soaking wet bed at 50 years old. My wife was and is brilliant about it and told me not to worry as she wasn't at all worried or bothered about me wetting the bed.
