To not go for a poo when DH is in the house?

BupcakesandCunting · 26/11/2011 10:23

We've been together for ten years and I've only ever done a cack when he has been present once and that was only because I had norovirus and explosive shits.

My friends think I'm insane. I think that I am keeping some mystique alive in our relationship. My poo is pretty potent. He'd never want sex with me again if he smelt it.

I really need to go now. He is poncing about. I wish he'd hurry up and go out so that I can make a deposit. :(

I also only poo in my loo. In my bathroom. Hmm

Why on earth do so many adults have hang ups about poo? It is perfectly normal, we all do it, none of it smells like roses. Is it something parents pass on to children?

mumto2andnomore · 26/11/2011 10:53

Quite shocked that you have kept this up for 10 years ! Can understand not in the same room, but not same house, must be very stressful working out when you can and cant poo. Can you poo with other people in the house, is it just dh ?

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 26/11/2011 10:56

I wonder if I did get poo issues from my parents you know?

I certainly remember having to 'hold it in' for long periods of time on account of us only having one bathroom and my Dad being in there with the papers Grin

My DH fished my poos out of the birthing pool with a sieve while I was giving birth to DD. Grin AFAIK it hasnt harmed our relationship. Under normal circumstances though I'd rather he wasn't in the bathroom with me/didnt come in while I did a poo but as long as you light a match/open a window and clean the toilet after you I doubt he'd mind. In fact he'd probably rather you got on with doing a poo than getting sent out the house all the time?? I am v impressed with your restraint OP!

Poo troll! Poo troll! Poo troll!

Oh, it's Bupcakes.

I think you are insane in the membrane - you'll do yourself a mischief holding all that waste matter in your bowels, you know

PinkFondantFancy · 26/11/2011 11:00

But I do have to say I try not to poo when in the work toilets when someone is on another cubicle. I don't know why, I just find it embarrassing

"Why on earth do so many adults have hang ups about poo? "

And why are they so proud of it? As if making it look as ifyounnever poo makes you a superior being?

Trills · 26/11/2011 11:01

Bupcakes is the poo troll?

AFuckingFestiveKnackeredWoman · 26/11/2011 11:03

How, how, how have you managed this for ten year

your a proper nutter

Flisspaps · 26/11/2011 11:07

Do you know, even the Queen poos.

Do you think she sends Phil out to the shop for random items every time she needs to drop a log?

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 26/11/2011 11:07

And why do some people care so much about when others do or don't poo? Weird

ComradeJing · 26/11/2011 11:08

Shock Shock Shock

Ten years????

You know your DH has had no idea you don't poo in the house whilst he is there right? He just assumes you're not a loon you poo like a normal person.

SarahStratton · 26/11/2011 11:09

No, Creamy is the poo troll.

Truth.

WestYorkshirePudding · 26/11/2011 11:09

I'm actually sat here open-mothed!

a) I can't believe some people don't even fart in front of their partners but b) you'd rather go for a shit in a supermarket than in your own house???

Then again, some people must think I'm odd because nothing stops from me from going in my own home when I need to go. OH reminded me of this last night when I needed a poo and he was in the shower Wink

When you gotta go, you gotta go! Haven't you...? Confused

effingwotsits · 26/11/2011 11:09

I have decided I must be a minger of the highest order. I have slight caffeine/poo ishoos as in within 5 minutes of drinking a proper coffee I need an emergency poo. DH is usually nearby chatting to me whilst I deposit, asking if it's a nice one.

He also has emergency poo's, no particular reason, just doesn't clench enough IMHO and once had to go in a plastic bag behind a shed and wipe his bum with leaves

No mystique left in this relationship!

ComradeJing · 26/11/2011 11:09

:o Flisspaps

SarahStratton · 26/11/2011 11:10

Darling Buppers, you need to get your DH a naice little dog. He walks the dog first thing, you get a guaranteed shit schedule.

Win, win solution.

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 26/11/2011 11:11

Close your moth WestYorkshire, it's not polite to have your moth hanging open Grin

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 26/11/2011 11:13

OP, you are bonkers.

Actually, have a serious question. How do you hold it? When I need to go I need to go. Not like this minute but I can't fanny around and wait half an hour whilst dh decides to go out, or not as the case may be.

Just how strong are your sphincter muscles?

SarahStratton · 26/11/2011 11:13

Ring of steel. Grin

Bonsoir · 26/11/2011 11:13

Change your diet to make your poo more fragrant!

Littlefish · 26/11/2011 11:16

You are off your trolley Bup! Grin

smartyparts · 26/11/2011 11:17

I'm with Sarah - I can only go at home and can hold on for however long that takes!

Also a non-farter

Also a hoverer in public loos when weeing

MN has highlighted my ishoos!

SarahStratton · 26/11/2011 11:17

I reckon Bups is hatching...
