One might think bedwetting is only a preserve for
children, but recent researches have shown that
bedwetting among adults is a top secret that is discussed
in hushed tones or better still, never revealed. Urologists
at the Bladder and Bowel Foundation recently stated that
one in 100 adults will be affected by bedwetting at some
point during their lifetime and that it often runs in
families. It is against this backdrop that SATURDAY
PUNCH asked some Nigerians what they would do if their
spouses bed-wetted on their wedding night

I’d feel highly embarrassed
Adeleke Adeoluwa
It depends on what made her to bed-wet, because I know
that too much of alcohol can make someone to bed-wet.
Also, if one is on anti-inflammatory drugs, one can bed-
wet. If it’s beyond the ordinary, then I will know what to
do. But I’ll definitely look at the antecedent – at least we
must have been together for some time before we went
into wedding. If it happened before the wedding night, I
wouldn’t have married her. But if I discovered on our
wedding night, then I would feel highly embarrassed and
ask her reasons why she did that. All the same, it’s her
problem which I think we can find solution to. I wouldn’t
chase her out.

I’ll make him stop taking water at night
Rosemary Willie
That kind of man will turn one into a drycleaner almost
every day. It is not a funny matter because it is
happening, not to me, though. I cannot imagine this
happening because it will be like a dream to me. But what
will I do? Maybe I will ask him to stop drinking water and
other drinks at night. I hope this helps him.

I wouldn’t know what to do
Olawale Folarin
That is a serious one. I remember that as a child, our
parents would always do all they could to ensure that we
stopped that habit. It is a very bad one and to see that my
spouse, who is an adult, bed-wets on our wedding night,
it is going to make me to be speechless. I don’t want to
even imagine it. Will I scold her or just let her be?
Seriously, I don’t even know.

He should find a solution to his problem
Osuolale Dasola
This is his problem, not mine. And the responsibility of
every man is to find solutions to the problems that
confront him. I hope he will be able to make his own
findings on how he will stop the habit. It doesn’t speak
well of a man at all and it is a shame. I will beg him to
find a solution to that problem.

We may not sleep on same bed again
Samgbayi Dayo
First, if she admits of being guilty of the offence –
because it’s a real offence when an adult bed-wets – we
will sit down together and think of ways to salvage the
situation. It’s not a good thing. Every parent expects that
at a certain age, their children will stop the habit. Now
carrying that into adulthood is a big embarrassment.
However, I will help her to look for ways to stop the
habit, or else we may not sleep on the same bed again.

I’ll carry my cross
Sarah Amax
There are certain things one cannot know until after
wedding. I will just assume this is one of them. It will
come as a shock to me, but there is nothing I can do but
to support him with prayers or looking for means to help
him stop bed-wetting. He too must be highly
embarrassed. All the same, it’s my cross and I will bear it
– while the search for a solution is on.

Her parents are to blame
Umoh Kufre
I’m not going to scold her because she is not a child, but I
believe she must be highly embarrassed of her action.
This is unheard of. Meanwhile, I will blame the parents
for not helping her to stop the habit before she reached
the age of marriage. It must have been that they did not
take it seriously and she too was not willing to help
herself. I will order her to find a lasting solution to her
problem so that I will not feel bad in our marriage.

I will lambast him
Adedeji Larry
This would make me wonder that prior to when he grew
up to that age what he had been doing about the matter.
Was he taking it for granted? Surely, I will lambast him to
make him find a solution to that problem. How could an
adult be bed-wetting? I would be puzzled. After all my
bewilderment, I may overlook it, but if it happens again,
perhaps we will start sleeping on different beds. It’s just
that he will make me wash the bed-sheet always.

No one will know about it
John Adeoluwa
This calls for a certain level of understanding and
maturity to handle the issue. If I am not wise enough, this
little matter can lead to a serious one. In fact, many
couples that are being separated today, it’s because of
this type of issue. They will only come out to say they
separated due to irreconcilable differences, many of
which are reconcilable. If this should happen to me, I will
not even allow anyone to know about it and thank God
it’s not a disease; it’s just a habit that can be stopped. I
will help her do that.

I’ll wake him up every night to pee
Adediwura Akinwande
There are men that take too much of alcohol and this can
happen to them. Some will even vomit on the floor,
which could be embarrassing. Seriously, that’s why as a
woman, I must have asked him questions before the
wedding night on his lifestyle. At least I must have known
some things about him. But assuming this happens, it will
be tough for me. It will break my heart. In fact, it must be
a joke. To help him, I will start waking him up every night
to pee and also caution his drinks intake.
