Wife is so disgusted

Maybe I’m a bit biased here, but it always seems like the guy has to sacrifice and change more about himself than the girl has to change and sacrifice. It’s like the man is expected to do what it takes to make the woman happy and not the other way around. Maybe I’m wrong, but it’s just what I have noticed in most relationships I see.

So when I was drinking heavily which I have since gave up, I would wear a diaper at night because I would often wet the bed. My wife while not liking it at all reluctantly accepted it. But now that I can go without accidents and she knows this I am criticized every time I wear a diaper and use it at night. Just this morning I was sitting drinking coffee in my swollen diaper enjoying the swollen leg spreading crotch and my wife said that is so disgusting that you are willing to sit there in a soiled diaper. She states she will never understand it and if I continue to do it she will sleep in the other room. I love my wife and do not want us to start sleeping separately but I just wish there was some way I could get her to accept diapers at least at night. When I was seeing a counselor while I was stopping drinking the conversation came up about my diaper wearing and I was looking for support from my counselor. She cited with my wife and said if she is against it I should consider not doing it. I feel no one is on my side here and that I'm going to be pushed to quit wearing.
Unless you brought this up with your wife before getting married i can see their point. its not fair for your wife. I know that when i wake up; being a bed wetter, that the bed even though its dry smells like piss. So maybe your wife is discussed by the smell and that's why she wants to sleep in a separate bed. some people have sensitive noses. sorry man thats a tuff problem.4

My wife is brilliant and my incontinence and nightly bedwetting doesn't phase her. She only gets annoyed when I am lazy and don't bother changing the bed or my nappy is obviously soaking wet and I haven't bothered to change

There are couple of ways to look at this. From a DL context, since it’s largely a guy thing it would stand to reason that the female is the one doing the “acceptance” (or not).

Outside of diapers I’d have to agree somewhat. In my circles it’s always the husband that is more likely dependent on their wives. Not financially but for just about everything else. The wives seem more resolute and emotionally prepared to stick to guns on just about any subject but will occasionally allow a token win once in a while. The guys seem to always cave in to maintain the harmony. Perhaps this is an age 50 plus thing that I’ve observed…or is it acquired wisdom to not make everything a confrontation and to pick one’s battles? I have no empirical evidence to back any of this up.
I will say that really big differences need attention no matter who initiates them. In my case while I was fixed on diapers my wife had an equally important (to her) thing she wanted addressed. We were able to address both but it’s wasn’t a one and done conversation.
 
I think the best I can offer the OP on this topic is sympathy. My arrangements that my late wife and I worked out regarding my love of wearing plastic garments were uniquely mine and hers. Otoh you and your wife have your own ways of interacting, your own likes and dislakes, and you'll come to your own decisions. I wish you both well.

Hi DloverUK, as I have chronic urinary incontinence I have only two options, being in nappies 24/7 or wearing my pubic pressure urinal and urine collection leg bag if furniture, clothes etc are to remain dry. My wife dislikes the fact I have to wear nappies but she does not understand this is not a lifestyle choice (I am not a diaper lover) and I would love not to wear them.

OK, that's quite a different scenario though. Weird that your wife doesn't realise this is a medical issue.

Are you serious? When the other person couldn't even give two shits whether or not their spouse was happy, why should the one "make sacrifices" that further reduce any possibility of their happiness???
We don't know their relationship. For all you know this person cares deeply about OP's happiness. But everyone has boundaries and ADBL stuff is gross to a lot of people. Not to mention that wearing a diaper gets in the way of sexual 'access', which is important in relationships.

But there comes a time when sacrificing everything you hold dear just to try and keep someone else happy, when they don't even TRY to reciprocate and ensure their partner's happiness, that the one sacrificing needs to realize (like I have been) that there's no point in further sacrifice.

What good is it to make someone else happy if you're living in misery, unable to do ANYTHING that could make you happy? And I'm not just talking about diapers, even regular hobbies like video games or D&D (in my case) were being treated by my wife as me "ignoring her needs" while she stopped even trying to recognize my need for happiness years ago...

Sorry, I don't believe the "happy wife, happy life" bullshit. It should be "happy spouse, happy house" where BOTH spouses work to ensure the other's happiness. If one refuses to help the other be happy, expecting the one who is in misery to give up any hope of doing the things they enjoy is just plain wrong.

Your wife is being a bit selfish, but ultimately this is what relationships are like. You have to make sacrifices sometimes to keep the other person happy.

Relationships are more important than diapers. I would consider just taking the L and wearing around her less.
I'm urinary incontinent! I wish to Christ I could go without wearing, believe me there! Diapers are not the issue between us. It's her trying to live a lavish life without having lavish money. In other words, she's trying to live a Mercedes Benz lifestyle while making used Ford money! he fact she has cheated on me with a MINIMUM of 6 different guys didn't help either. I was exhausted when I wrote the above post, and failed to state that I was in Tn helping my best friend with his business (being paid more than 6k/month) trying to make desperately needed money for us when she began throwing away every bill with my name on it, racking up over 50k on her credit cards and screwing every scumbag she met. The one guy she was with was known to me. She sold him to me as being a guy she worked with. All 450+ pounds of him! He once asked me if I wanted to smoke meth!!! He told me that METH is an "amazing" drug that "makes you feel like god"! THIS is the kind of guy she's banging!

My marriage died when I got sick on Jan 18 2004 but I stayed married as I would not be here today IF I couldn't have my sons in my life every day. The other side of that coin is that after I got sick, NEITHER of us could had afforded to live on our own. She never made much money and my ability to earn was brutally interrupted. I still do average close to $100/hr, cash when I am able to work, but I have no clue how I will be feeling in 4 hours, let alone tomorrow. I can't plan ahead for anything outside of the hot weather months when I do as well as I am going to, but even then when my back pain flares, I often wind up incapable of even standing up let alone working.

I can't wait until she pays her debt off so I can kick her to the curb where she belongs! I also would very much like to meet a woman who isn't so shallow that she can't be bothered by her own boyfriend or husband stuck in bed, incapable of moving, who's been in the same diaper for 12-20 hours! I know (have been told) that I can have her charged for spousal abuse, but that would only add to her debt and prolong my misery of living with her.

I have to get....work is waiting. I'll try to add more information later. I can't believe all of the typos and missing information in my initial post about this. I get diplopia (eyes go out of alignment) when my headache gets to a 7/10 and when I wrote the initial post my headache was a solid 8.5-9/10. I see 2 of everything except what I see is one radically different plains, so I often can't really read what I am typing. Even now my headache is a solid 6/10 and it NEVER goes below a 4! I have a headache 24/7/365 though so long as it is below a 5 I can live with it. I have Hydromorphone for the headaches. That ought to give you a good idea of the severity. The best headache specialist in the USA can't figure this out, despite being under his care while hospitalized for 45 days in all and having had at least 25-30 spinal taps. I got a diagnosis of "New daily persistent Headache" which along with a $5 bill ought to be able to buy me a large coffee today! It's a useless diagnosis that several ER Dr's accused me of making up!!!!

OK. I have to jet. Later!
