I don't stay overnight with my girlfriend because I still wet the bed

DEAR DEIDRE: I’VE been dating a great woman for the last two months and really can see a future with her. But how do I tell her I still wet the bed?

This has been a problem since I was a child.

I’m 25 and I thought I’d grow out of it. But two or three times a week, I still wake up to soaking-wet bed sheets. It’s mortifying.

I met this woman through work and we’ve been on eight or nine dates

The few times we’ve ended up back at her place, I’ve made an excuse as to why I can’t stay the night. 

But I’m starting to run out of ideas. Is there anything I can try?

DEIDRE SAYS: Speak to your GP. They will be able to refer you to a urologist who will be able to investigate what’s causing this.

But also approach Bladder and Bowel UK (bbuk.org.uk, 0161 214 4591). Its experts will be able to provide useful resources and free advice.

There is no need to admit you have this problem until you are ready. The right person will want to help in any way they can.
