To ask if my boyfriend doing this last night is ‘normal’?

I was having a bath last night and he came in and used the loo (no.2). I shouted and asked what he was playing at and he said he has always done this with partners and vice versa as have plenty of people he knows. He stayed for a couple of minutes until he had finished and left laughing.

For context - together 4 months, he was staying at mine last night.

He has said he won’t do it again but I feel a bit humiliated by it tbh.

Male or female, you poo in an empty bathroom! Period!
Totally disgusting and disrespectful to do this when your partner is having a bath/shower.

Massive drip feed that you have THREE LOOS. come on.

this is beyond ridiculous.

how could you not know this is bizarre / grotesque?

more to the point, why hasn’t mumsnet deleted yet another weirdo OP?

for crying out loud.

I think you've probably lived a narrow life if you don't think this thread could be true.

@TaterTots68

would it not give you the ick and stop you wanting to shag him though?

Absolutely not. It would at the beginning, but we've been together ages, he's seen me giving birth. We are a bit odd though 😂

SereneGoose · 13/09/2026 14:11

Alan..are you the poo monster?

He trusts you enough to observe all personal aspects of his life - such open-ness is admirable.

So admirable to shit in front of someone trying to relax in the bath despite there being two other bathrooms, then laugh in their face when they shout to ask you to stop so are clearly upset by it.

If you have a partner I feel sorry for them, Alan.

TealHacks · 13/09/2026 12:56

It could be the year 2000 and the offender was Brad Pitt. It would be over for me.

The fact that there were 2 other toilets available strongly suggests a darker motive for doing this.

Gribouille · 13/09/2026 10:12

The fact it was so calculated is a red flag - the wine offer was definitely a trick.

And that he did it in your house - asserting dominance over your space. Lots of bad 'uns do this.

Probably had long-term plans to move in with you - is your place nicer than his? Or is it simply that you pay for and clean it, cushty for him...

Nah - you have all the support of this site in dumping him! Lots of angry women have your back! Courage! 🤗

A quick wee is one thing, a shit is another.

And there were other toilets, so even if he was desperate, he had options. This was deliberate.

Dumping offence in my book.

A definite "dumping" offence 😂

I hope you have dumped this pos.

😂 So many puns in such a short reply

I would see this as the ultimate 'fuck you' gesture. Sorry.

Failing that, a kink.

Edited

I agree, think he may have a kink and was testing the waters to see if you might be into it, OP @Helenaslide

dreamiesformolly · 13/09/2026 03:58

Oh, do behave yourself. 🙄

@Alan42

lol. He has just made himself gross and unattractive to the OP, she won’t want to shag him now….not very admirable really.

workshy46 · 08/09/2026 15:50

Not normal , in my entire life no one has taken a dump in front of me .. even animals feel shame when they do it. Yuk

Animals feel nothing of the sort.

Fortheloveoffrogs · 13/09/2026 07:00

Alan42 is may be the culprit!

If this is what he does 4 months into the relationship, this is what you can expect in the future: at 6 months he will poo in the bathtub when you're having a bath together. After marriage and kids, he will poo into your dinner plate, force you to eat it, force the kids to watch it and laugh whilst you're doing it. Please dump him and save yourself. If you don't dump him, you're headed towards an abusive relationship that WILL ruin your life.

When he offered the wine, he already knew he was going to take a dump. This is malicious manipulation and this person finds delight in humiliating and disrespecting you. When he sat down on the toilet why didn't you tell him to go and take his pick from the other two free and empty toilets? When he said this was normal in his previous relationships did you ask him whether there were other free toilets available then too?

WTF??? You've got quite an imagination

I have three toilets. I was in the main bathroom, there is also an en-suite and downstairs loo.

Reading the replies has made me realise it was likely deliberate/making a point.

I hope you have dumped this pos.

HollyMcDolly · 13/09/2026 09:17

Wee fine but poo no, my H will come in & have a wee if I’m showering which I don’t mind but we’ve been together years not 4 months. I’m surprised any normal person thinks taking a shite in front of someone else is fine & I don’t believe for one minute that all of his previous girlfriends were fine with it, he’s just said that to justify his appalling behaviour.

Snippit · 13/09/2026 08:47

I’ve been with my hubby for 46 years and that is something neither of us would ever do. Although my SIL does it when her hubby is in the bath, she believes it to be normal. She’s brought their son up to fart in public and doesn’t see any wrong in this, 🤢

Doidothis · 13/09/2026 08:45

I actually don’t think this is unusual OP, I think a lot of couples do this however my husband wouldn’t dare!!!

Goditsmemargaret · 13/09/2026 08:39

That is absolutely repulsive, I could never let him put his hands on me again. What a scumbag.

I initially assumed you only had one toilet and he was bursting. In that case I'd have to tell the other person to get out of the bath. I'd apologise.

But you have three toilets. This is disgusting disrespectful behaviour. Dump him.

smithsgj · 13/09/2026 08:31

If you don't live together then when he comes round isn't it to spend time together? Seems a funny time to take a bath, unless it's together. His action was revolting, I totally agree, but I wonder if he was making that point (in a spectacularly idiotic way).

MyGutsyRubyCat · 13/09/2026 08:29

I’ve been married nearly 40 years and we have never done that. Unless he was ill with diarrhea I can’t believe he couldn’t have waited a bit. It was a deliberate act done to undermine/test you. That would end a relationship for me as it is disrespectful.

Northerlad · 13/09/2026 08:12

I've been married for 25 years and we would never do this. Really horrible and disrespectful.
