Last night, a 23-year-old man was sound asleep when he was abruptly awakened by the sound of his girlfriend turning on the bathroom sink.
He remained in bed, unmoving, as she shockingly took the next step: deliberately pouring water into his ear.
Describing the experience, he said, ‘Lying still on the bed while she poured water into my right ear felt surreal. It was then that I understood my ear problems were caused by her actions.’
For the past two weeks, he has been experiencing a sensation of fluid in his ears. Reflecting on his childhood, when he frequently suffered from ear infections, he wondered if a similar issue might be occurring now.
He visited both his primary doctor and an ENT specialist, who both confirmed that there were no signs of infection or any underlying issues.
He suspects that his girlfriend has been secretly pouring water into his ears for a while, which greatly unsettles him.
Although his girlfriend doesn’t live with him, she visits him every day after work. He recently relocated to a new city on his own for his job.
Returning to the events of last night, after his girlfriend poured water into his ear, she left the room. When she returned, she noticed that some of the water had drained out after he had rolled over.
She let out a sigh of frustration and said, “Oh, come on.” Then, she grabbed her phone, began typing a message, and carefully climbed back into his bed.
“She clearly has no idea that I’m aware. Her lip-smacking and texting showed she wasn’t even making an effort to be quiet when she returned to bed. This makes me think that this hobby of hers didn’t just begin recently,” he said.
“My girlfriend has bipolar disorder, and I’m trying to understand if her recent extreme behaviors are related to her condition. I know it’s not her fault, but I’m looking for others who might have experienced something similar. Posting this makes me feel a bit overwhelmed, and last night felt surreal. Even this morning, the sensation of water draining from my ears seems almost unbelievable.”
“I’ve been feeling increasingly uneasy about my relationship over the past few months and have decided to end it. My main priority is ensuring my safety throughout this process. I’m particularly worried about her actions, especially after she poured water into my ears. I’m also concerned about who she might have been texting and what might be happening in my apartment while I’m asleep.”
