It really hurts me to read this. I have been deliberately wetting the bed for over 40 years. I wet accidently until I was 12. I have gone through so many years of guilt at the wetting, but as you rightly say the thoughts return and there is precious little you can do about it. It is only now (57) that I am completely comfortable with my wetting/nappy needs. My wife is very understanding although non participant. I wear nappies to bed every night and 50% of days, and I always wake up wet. And, yes, it is sometimes inconvenient. I can go for two or three weeks of not wearing during the day but the feeling/need inevitably returns. I know that the stress of feeling guilty was dreadful, and I would counsel you to accept who you are, and work out the best way to handle it. It really is not that bad, in fact it is great fun, just keep it in proportion.
