to think that going to the toilet should always be a private thing

[AllTheGoodOnesAreTaken]

even within a couple??? Or I should say SPECIALLY within a couple? I'm not prudish or anything but I feel that using the toilet in front of your DH (or DW as the case may be) is a passion killer. Or do you think it brings people closer?

[jellybelly25]

Are we talking wees or poos?

[BikeRunSki]

I did until I had a toddler.

[worraliberty]

We always wee in front of each other if we need to.

If seeing me give birth didn't kill the passion, I'm sure a little tinkle wont either

[notnowbernard]

I like to shit in peace, yes

No chance with little DC (obviously) but not keen on crapping in front of DP

He doesn't care though

[babyapplejack]

We wee in front of eachother, DH poos in front of anyone (dirty sod). I don't particularly like him watching me poo, but I will if necessary.

[MrsH75]

I do wee in front of DH but go to other bathroom to do a poo where I can lock the door- we have an ensuite but have never got round to putting a door or screen on it :) We walk round naked as well, my parents never did this. But then it was colder up north

[Chil1234]

I'm all for openness but subscribe to the view that 'familiarity breeds contempt'... Retain an air of mystery girls. The OW will

[poopnscoop]

W fine with DH, P a no no (ugh), walking round nekkid all good :)

[madonnawhore]

Wees, no problem. WRT number twos, I like to preserve my modesty where possible, whereas he doesn't seem to mind and regularly leaves the door open!

Sometimes I'm reminded of that bit in Sex and the City where Charlotte tells Harry she doesn't mind him walking round naked as long as he puts a towel down before sitting on the couch. That's kind of what it's like!

[EricNorthmansMistress]

I would never ever poo in front of anyone by choice. I can control my bowels well enough that unless it was completely in extremis (childbirth or norovirus perhaps) I should never have to.

I once shared a bathroom with DH and he went for a poo while I was showering. I was like this and it never happened again! I get cross with him when he doesn't pull the bathroom door shut and I can hear him poo, even though he's round a corner and I can't hear anything.

I'd let him wee while I was in the bath but likewise would not wee in front of him.

[Desperateforthinnerthighs]

I have been with DH for almost 21 years and I would never ever ever do a shit in front of him!!!

eeuwwwww - so vile!

[Desperateforthinnerthighs]

Ooooh, but I dont mind nipping into the loo if he is doing one....seems more acceptable somehow, lol

[jellybelly25]

Communal wees are common in our house. Poos on the other hand, I won't do in front of him. He seems to be fine to poo in front of me though lol

[LisaD1]

I never go to the bathroom in front of DH, he will often come in for a wee while I'm in the shower (curtain closed anyway).

DD2 on the other hand will wee/poo in front of whoever is in her way and will happily come in while I'm going to the loo, she's only 3 though so I'll let her off!

[FabbyChic]

There are some things that should never be seen, one of them is seeing your other half shit.

[HecateTheCrone]

After 13 years together, we are not so careful about shutting the loo door if we are having a wee

however, strict privacy in the poo department. I just couldn't imagine shitting in front of another human being.

We don't even break wind in front of each other unless one slips out against our will. In which case we excuse ourselves.

but I have ishooooos about that because my dad is a champion farter and by god it is like something crawled up there and died. It brings tears to your eyes. I don't like adults breaking wind in front of me.

My kids fart freely. never managed to hammer into them to take themselves out of the room!

[Toygirl]

We pee in front of each other and I poo as well but DH hates pooing in front of me. He won't do it and even locks the door

[HecateTheCrone]

how does he feel about you pooing in front of him, toygirl?

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

Dp doesn't give a damn, I will pee if I have to, could never poo.

Would happily pee and probaly poo in front of best girlfriends, but then we have all been at each others biths, so not really fussed about such things.

[LaWeasel]

We don't wee/poo in front of each other.

Although with a toddler, I end up doing it if front of DD a lot. Which is fine while she is learning about these things, as soon as she is potty trained and confident she will be locked out too.

I don't understand people who do TBH. Why can't you wait 5 mins to brush your teeth or start your bath? And surely if you are going to be the person in the bath for a long time you check that nobody needs the toilet first?

[MoonGirl1981]

We poo and wee in front of each other.

Doesn't worry either of us.

[AllTheGoodOnesAreTaken]

Okay so I'm not the only one. I also did not allow my DH to look 'down there' whilst I was giving birth. It was strictly waist up. The midwifes found that hilarious.

[LDNmummy]

DP and I are always in the bathroom together, not specifically for poos, we just have an open door policy when getting ready to go somewhere, so if I am peeing or showering he can come in. He has seen me do a number 2 and vice versa, more than once, quite a few times actually. If I am going to be with him for life, surely the reality that he poos and wees and stinks up the bathroom is just par for the course? Otherwise isnt it kinda wierd, like keeping this little secret.

For instance, my younger sibling has been with her fiance for 3 years and they are engaged. Once we were at my mothers house and my DP came into the room where my sibling, mother and I were standing. I did a toot (childish tee hee) and carried on. She looked at me disgusted and said "OMG! I have been with xxxx 3 years and have never farted in front of him, thats disgusting." My DP standing beside her played along, he likes to take the mickey out of me sometimes in a cheeky way and I laughed. We later talked about it and he thought it was really bizarre, like living a lie. And then we started laughing about it, my DP was wondering what in the hell she did, did she store it all up and then run to the bathroom for release, in her own home??

Give me a break, life is too short.

And it is definitely not a passion killer for us, you would have to be prudish IMO to relate the two things. Domestic realitites are just that, passion in the bedroom is something else entirely. The joining factor is that both involve our bodies, shouldn't there just be an acceptance that our bodies are built to do both great and smelly things? Its just natural FGS.
