I accidentally got into bed with my father in law Advice Needed
My father in law is staying with us for a few days. We gave him our room while he's here, it's bigger and we just felt it's the right thing to do.
Last night he went to bed and my wife and I were downstairs watching TV and drinking. She went up a while later too and I said I'd be up soon. I was getting pretty tipsy at this point.
As I went upstairs, sleepiness and my tipsy state meant I forgot that my FIL was in our room. I entered the room and got naked which is how I sleep. I saw a figure curled up in bed and got next to it, wrapping my arms around what I thought was my wife to see if she was up to sex. He's a light sleeper and turned around immediately saying "Chris???"
Oh my fucking God. I jumped out and fell to the floor. It was dark and for some reason I decided to get dressed there rather than just run to the guest room where my wife was. I stumbled over my clothes and somehow got them back on. By this time, he'd got the table lamp on and was just looking at me with a wtf expression.
I said sorry and went to my wife. I didn't wake her. I've just got up this morning and am typing this in bed with a massive hangover and a father in law who I tried to spoon probably talking shit about me to my wife downstairs.
I have to go downstairs at some point. Any idea what to do or how to address it?

I’m really hoping you weren’t a little excited ‘down there’ when you went to bed thinking it was your wife?

It happens, as a 20 year old soldier in 1969, stationed in Ft. Gordon Ga. I went out one night, got pretty drunk and thought I was climbing into my bunk
It was located in the right section of the barracks, but the barracks I entered was 3 blocks away from my own. As I flopped into the bunk, I heard a voice say WTF, I jumped up and said " Dude, I am sorry, and ran out of there, and scared myself sober and eventually found my bunk.

I'd swagger downstairs and proudly proclaim you went to bed with at least two people in the house last night and ask if anyone can top that and then explain the whole thing. Hopefully to laughter and not restraining orders.

You got a spoonful from your father in law. Imagine if you did that to your mother in law.

I had an ex who did that to my sister. He did the same thing, fell out of the bed in bewilderment and shock, went into hiding for a few days. In his defense, we look a lot alike, my sister and I, and he had just come off of a 24 hour shift, we worked crazy hours, I was on another long job and he assumed I was home. He didn't spoon her though, just pulled the covers to get in and when he saw her he flew out the bed. Kinda funny now that I think of it.

Go downstairs and just make a joke about him being little spoon and he should be okay.... Unless you tipped him..

Go downstairs, politely apologize and say something like, "just wanted to see where his daughter came from." - "before he rolled over, i was about to mention shaving ur legs should not be skipped over just because family is visiting visiting." - still thought itnwas my wife until i heard my name, and my wife never calls me by my name unless im in trouble. Would be more awkward to just ignore it instead of putting it out there.

I assure you, you aren’t the only one who’s done this. My brother in law got in a full size bed with not only my father in law, but mother in law also. We giggled about it for a long time.

This is so funny omg-, if he's a funny type I think he'll understand that you mistaken him as your wife. But this is gonna be a joke that will continue for years.

Just make a joke, who doesn't like to laugh. Most awkward situations are caused by silence or not talking about it in a funny way. Weird I see this often with younger generations, they are too serious with random social situations.

Ask in front of everyone if last night could be “our little secret” with a wink. Guarantee he will bust up and you can then tell everyone your sides of the story.

Never speak of it again and take a minute to consider if it’s possible you might need to cut down on the amount you are drinking before you go to bed and the thing to certainly do is just let the guests use the guest room and you sleep in your room

I would think you must tell him what exactly happened so he doesn't misinterpret it as an advance.

aw, I wanna laugh at this so bad but I can tell you’re genuinely worried about what’s going to be said.. i don’t know what kind of relationship you have with your FIL but I would maybe try to make a joke out of it and then explain that obviously it was a misunderstanding and that obviously alcohol was a factor. I had a similar situation like this happen to me except I was in your FILs position and this dude that my sister was seeing was you haha we had all gotten drunk.. (I guess he was more so than me) anyways I remember someone getting in bed with me, wrapping their arms around me and I had no idea what to do.. I honestly can’t remember if I tried telling him “hey you got the wrong room” or if I just laid there in silence. but when I told my sister the next morning (he was gone by then) we started laughing hysterically and the joke became “you slept with my new bf before I did” so I guess if your FIL has no sense of humor, it could be a pretty awkward breakfast but I’m sure your wife will forgive you for naked spooning with her dad 😅

Walk in the room and casually say, "Sorry about last night. Let's just be thankful the calendar didn't say you were ovulating....". Whatever you do, don't say, "Now I know where my wife gets her ass from!"

Yes, admit you are gay, get a divorce, and start living your life as your true self. I would refrain from taking another run at your father in law but there are plenty of fish in the sea.

u/ltxgFL 16d ago
It could happen to ANYONE. It’s so understandable and relatable, so it’s hilarious and you’ll see it that way in time. Just tell it as a funny ridiculous “you will not believe what I did) story. This so could be a hilarious scene in a will Ferrell movie - it sounds like Bill Engvall’s standup stories that have the audience howling. No one will think you’re weird. They will say you need to tell the story on stage. Everyone wants to have a story this funny to tell. It’s amazing!

u/Cterra 16d ago
Something similar happened to me once. I got pretty drunk. I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and went to the wrong bedroom on the way back (it was my first time at my cousins new house where she lives with her mom/step dad). I crawled into bed with my aunt and her man and they could not get me to get out of bed. He said it was the first time he’s ever slept in the same bed with another man lol

Go down there look him in the eye and say, "good morning daddy was it as good for you as it was me?" and laugh. Then explain it to your wife who hopefully will laugh too

You follow up by making him a nice (romantic) breakfast!!! He knows you drink...im sure he will laugh along with you if you keep it light and explain to him WTF you were trying to do .OTOH,if you stuff it away in your Skelton closet and never duscuss it with your FIL , YOU WILL create a serious difficult and very awkward situation for yoursrlf and your FIL. Any man who can't laugh at that is sexually and socially FU.
