Definitely not your husband's most shining moment.

While I'm beyond that age now, I have had that happen to me, and I'd venture to say, it's happened to many if not most females.

I bought a new bed myself about 4 months ago at the Brick, and they told me I had to buy a mattress protector (from them no less!) in order to be able to return it for any reason within their window, which I believe was 90 days.

While you won't be able to return it now, I would still go to Walmart or some bedding shop and purchase a waterproof bed protector. They aren't that expensive, and they don't feel plasticy like they did years ago. Mine feels like luxurious cloth. It is a bamboo breathable one.

You will then be able to tell your husband that while you don't excuse his response for an accident, you've taken proactive steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. The mattress protector is fully machine washable or spot cleanable.

I'm very sorry he responded so poorly. That response would have devastated me, as I was prone to moodiness and depression at that time of the month anyways.
