Ok... Some of this might be too much info, BUT... I need opinions and feel more comfortable at internet distances...

Things have been going well. Its been a month since he's gone inside on my watch, but I travel with my job and am not always around. We've managed to restrict his movement and the praise/punish system has gone well. I haven't been very physical with him with the accidents, but he gets his face rubbed in it for a LONG time when he messes up. Good behavior is always rewarded with treats EVERY time he waits to go outside.

TONIGHT... I was having some... "intimate" time with my girlfriend and we left him out during. At the end of it during pillow talk, he left a nice little puddle on the floor that I heard and I yelled at him. The scene of the crime was about 10 feet from the bed. He ran away, hid and was visibly scared when I found him, so I've obviously impressed upon him the penalty for peeing on the carpet (a minute or two of face rubbing in pee). It happened about 4 hours AFTER he'd been let out last. Was this a jealousy thing or did we wait too long to take him out and he was in pain?

Thanks for the help and sorry about the unnecessary details!
