My husband has some sort of sweat problem. Last night, he made the bed soaking wet (and he likes to cuddle me while we sleep so I woke up at 1 am with about 30 cms of dry bed left, he had soiled the rest to the point that I had to get a towel and even then it was damp). Any advice? I don’t want to hurt his feelings but it’s been going on for years and I just can’t stand it anymore

He must have a condition.
I would approach as a simple “hey, this thing that keeps happening, might be something treatable. Would you see a doc?”

smart

A doctor should be able to find the cause…

This is by no means normal and he should seek medical attention asap (excessive sweating can be a symptom of cancer). That aside, it seems very problematic that he doesn’t seem to care how this impacts you and you also don’t know how to bring up such a non controversial topic (you both know it’s happening). I think there are bigger problems to work through here

Can you lower the temperature when you sleep or get more breathable bedding (linen vs synthetic etc)?

Get an eight sleep mattress cover. Look it up, I have one and it’s amazing

Have you tried a cooling blanket?

Maybe try a cooling pad, I’ve used that before for a similar issue… life changer

So if this is about bringing it up to him, it sounds like he knows by your other responses. I would just say “hey, do you feel hot when you sleep because you’re sweating a lot and sleeping in a pool of it. Does that bother you?” It’s not like snoring where they have no idea. He’s waking up wet the bed is wet. See how he reacts to that and have him help solution with you.

I mean. He has to care that it’s visible to him and impacts you. Even if it has no impact to him. Most reasonable people would feel self conscious and worry about their partners impact. If that’s not the case I agree it’s time to get help.

No doctor so obviously just my opinion but he probably has hyperhyrdrosis. It can be caused by thyroid issues (which a blood test would determine) or not. I have it (not thyroid related) but not nearly as bad as your husband. But I do take a daily medication for it and that has helped immensely.

When to break-up with someone? I’ve been dating my gf for 6 years (2 long distance 1yr on a break and 3 living together.

What are some signs that your GF has a controlling personality? GF made a remark to me that she’s looking for someone who jumps when she says jump, and that she wishes I wouldn’t “talk back” to her when I provide an opinion that is the opposite of hers. I want to confront her about some of these remarks, but I oftentimes don’t feel it’s worth it b/c I know she’ll blow up and get defensive which would only make me angrier and more frustrated. I want things to work out, but I need advice…

My gf and I are having a big discussion and I would love to get your thoughts on this. It’s about how much we keep in touch and communicate when I’m on the road. She needs to hear from me everyday multiple times and if I don’t answer her texts within a few hours, she can get quite controlling (text over and over again, also on my work phone, asks what I am doing and gets upset). I am not used to that and have the trust if she doesn’t text back, that it’s for good reasons, busy at work…. (Ctd)
