AITAH Boyfriend P*ed the bed and Is mad at me for my response
A couple, a 27-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, recently moved into a new house and purchased a new $300 mattress. The issue began when the woman woke up to a wet feeling and discovered her boyfriend had apparently wet the bed.
When asked to clean it immediately, the boyfriend resisted, suggesting a towel would suffice and promising to clean it in the morning, which the original poster (OP) felt was unacceptable for a new mattress.
This disagreement escalated until the OP removed the soiled sheets and told him to sleep on the couch, leading the OP to question if their reaction was an overreaction.

The central conflict revolves around the OP's need for immediate action regarding a hygiene issue in their shared new property, contrasted with the boyfriend's apparent minimization of the incident and desire to delay the cleanup until morning.
Was the original poster wrong for insisting on immediate cleanup of the soiled mattress and sending her boyfriend to the couch, or was the boyfriend's refusal to clean up his bodily fluids instantly an unreasonable expectation of his partner in a shared living space?
