Grossed out by new partner walking in when I was showering

I have a fairly new partner, my first after my 10 year marriage ended. I stayed at his for the first time last night and went to have a shower this morning (no lock on the door). A few minutes in my partner walked in and used the loo!! He was sat there trying to talk to me and I didn’t know where to look. When I said afterwards I didn’t expect that he said it shows how comfortable he is around me and that his past relationships have always been like that so it’s just normal these days.

I can tell you in my entire marriage my ex never walked in on me to use the loo and vice versa! I found him sitting there and ‘dropping off’ a right turn off to be honest!

This is absolutely disgusting and certainly not normal , a wee yes no real issue but sitting there stinking out a poo whilst you shower is gross !

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 28/06/2025 17:31

Vile and shows absolutely no regard for your own feelings.
That would be me out I am afraid. Sitting there like a monarch on his throne, conquered new territory, stick a crown on me.

Good lord, you lot are uptight!

Seems me and my husband are in the minority... 😂💩

Yuck. I've been married about 400 years and never once has my husband come in to have a shit while I was showering. I could just about tolerate peeing if he was desperate, but not as a regular thing.

Me too! He would never even have a wee when I'm in there even in emergency, he'd rather go the garden 😆
Yes we have sex but the thought of smelling his poo and seeing him wipe would instantly shut my vagina for life

Oh yuk ! yuk yuk yuk !!!

My DH does this all the time. It’s annoying especially when I want a quiet shower but mostly the smell makes me want to vomit sometimes. He also farts and belches sometimes!
Saying that he wouldn’t have done that early on into our relationship but I didn’t think it took too long. We are 3 kids in now so all dignity has been lost, although could still never do a number 2 in front of him!
That’s men, they are vial creatures! I think your ex was the minority tbh.

Gross.

Shesellsseashellsnotinmystreet · 28/06/2025 17:27

Get rid.
Or it will be anal sex.. Bjs every night. Well ex never complained
..

Profpudding · 28/06/2025 17:27

Vile

BashfulClam · 28/06/2025 17:26

Ew no. In 18 years we have never observed the other on the loo. Pees and poos are done in privacy.

crumpet · 28/06/2025 17:26

Absolutely not something I would like!

Aria2015 · 28/06/2025 17:26

Yuck! Hard no from me! Been with dh over 20 years and never even been in the bathroom at the same time - let alone used the loo! Gross! I like to maintain a bit of mystery lol!

ASheepNamedBagel · 28/06/2025 17:25

Fuck that.

I don’t even let my DH use my en-suite at all. He can poo elsewhere.

I would never have sex with my husband again if I saw him on the toilet.

SkibidiSigma · 28/06/2025 17:25

Just no. A wee is fine if necessary, but I would not like a poo (unless absolute - about to shit himself - emergency) and especially not from a new partner.

RowsOfFlowers · 28/06/2025 17:25

I am married, and my partner and I don’t do this!!! We might go for a wee if desperate, but absolutely not for a poo - boundaries!!!

Gloriia · 28/06/2025 17:25

That is just so very weird. I'd dump him solely on this tbh op. Massive invasion of your privacy, massive overstepping every social etiquette there is 🤮.

Dump him seems the appropriate thing to do.

HelenaJl · 28/06/2025 17:11

Yeah! I messaged on my friends whatsapp group and a couple of them said their husbands do it too and they don’t mind! I feel like the dating game has changed quite a bit 😂

Edited

It's only changed if you put up with that sort of thing!!

it's gross & that hasn't changed!

NeverDropYourMooncup · 28/06/2025 17:23

Even the bloody cat has more decorum than that here.

It means you'll never be able to have a relaxing bath alone, as he'll be insisting upon the door being unlocked and coming in.

Crikey, its just a bodily function. If you have sex then seeing him on the loo isn’t weird.

Sorry, but it is.

Speak for yourself!

a wee I wouldn't care, but I don't want to see/hear/smell him having a poo while I shower!

GoldMoon · 28/06/2025 17:21

Not normal , especially when you are at the early stage of your relationship .
I've been with mine 25 years and we have wee'd occasionally , but a poo ? No way !

Highsmithery · 28/06/2025 17:21

We’ll have a piss in front of each other all the time, but taking a shit is private.

Bumdrops · 28/06/2025 17:21

Omg
you are having a shower and he comes in and is having a POO
you are breathing in the poo particles
exposed to his innards
he wipes his asshole while you can eyeball him ??
has he no dignity ???
out of order
