(Read a comment on my previous thread and it got me thinking)

I always lock the bathroom door, but I think that's just a habit because I lock it even when there's no one else in the house.

I would possibly wee in front of oh but never have done.

As for anything else - hell no.

He's pissed with me in the same room countless times but I draw the line at him having a shit whilst I'm brushing my teeth, or in the bath etc.

In a way I think it can almost kiss the romance.

No way would I poo or change a tampon infront of DP Have never wee'd with him in the same bathroom either.

We do wee in bushes when out on dog walks though - somehow that seems to be o.k! Grin

There is no way we would ever buy a house with only one loo. I have IBS so two loos is a necessity.

I do. I never even bother shutting the bathroom door anymore.

I would feel comfortable with farting, weeing, changing tampon but think pooing is private time. Mainly because I create some right stinkers which I'd never wish on anyone Grin

Married 25 years here and I would never wee or poo in front of dh.. nor would he infront of me!

The only exception being the time I accidentally poisoned myself (don't ask Blush) and was uncontrollably ejecting from both ends while passed out on the bathroom floor. Then dh bathed me and cleaned up the mess, bless him!

Not if I can help it but we have 5 loos Shock in our house and whenever I find myself in one I have the whole posse behind me. Apparently my right to pee in private went out the window with "I do", also spontaneous family meeting tend to happen whenever I am in the shower. No-one else in my family has any idea of bathroom privacy and all enjoy an audience. They think it must have been accidental whenever I lock the door and keep banging it and re-trying the handle until I eventually emerge. AAAAGH!

Yes to wees, no to poos except one time when I was ill and he had to stay with me in case I fainted (he had carried me to the toilet). No to changing sanitary stuff in front of him either.

Shock at kissmy's acquaintance, shaking off ewwww

I love to creep up on dh mid-wee and goose him when he can't move. He sometimes comes in and announces, proudly, after a big poo" you'd better call the coastguard!"

I don't think anyone ever shuts our toilet or bathroom door apart from when DH has a poo. Don't know why as he stinks the whole house out anyway. I never shut the toilet door. It's tiny and I'd have no where to go if the door got stuck!

mrsjay All the faces Wink because I am THAT incredulous! I'd rather do it alone (I'd LOVE to do it alone without a DC with me) but I'm genuinely AMAZED that people are so horrified about being caught in the act / seeing OH do it / being seen doing a poo.

Yes. I am shocked that you lot don't and express such utter distaste! I think it's pretty funny.

So there. Wink

I will pee in front of him quite happily but would never poo. He knows to never poo in front of me either and he wouldn't want to anyway.

Doesn't happen often though because our toilet is seperate to the bathroom. So if I'm brushing my teeth or having a shower he can go and poo in private.

No. Never. Though I will fart like a trouper around my own house and in front of him.

Hard No. Not ever.

And I'm not willing to witnessing my partner's eliminations either.

That said, for the most dire of circumstances - e.g. if I were injured or incapacitated and required his assistance or vice-versa - I am sure that we are both entirely capable of subsuming our sensibilities to the medical necessity at hand without dramatics or lasting detriment.

Yes! Of course! Pooing not so much because it stinks, but I’d it didn’t stink then yes I would. Surely your husbands have seen you swear, poo, bleed and tear in child birth?!! It’s a normal bodily function.

This thread was started in 2013, l wonder if the OP can wee in the prescence of her partner yet?

Being in my 40s, I have wee’d, showered and bathed in the prescence of lots of men (not all at the same time) that l have been in friendships with over the years. And good female friends plus my sister come to that. It’s certainly not a big deal to me.

But that’s is, apart from an emergency situation, is where I draw the line. Poo means close the door. Tampon change, maybe, depending if I had known the person a long time.

Many Hong Kong hotels have seperate en suite shower and seperate en suite loo with clear glass doors in their bedrooms.

oh i also cant go in public loos when i can hear other people either, if im really busting i flush then pee as quick as i can

aLilNonnyMouse · 03/03/2019 08:45

We never shut the door all the way because the cats litter tray is in the bathroom and one cat has a habit of only peeing when someone else is on the loo (no idea why!).

OH and I are comfortable with peeing in front of each other but prefer the other to leave the room for poops. We do sometimes pop ou heads round the door to ask a quick question but no full on conversations like we sometimes do while peeing.

I don't think I could be comfortable in a relationship where I had to hide bodily functions.

We always joke that we might as well take the toilet doors off as we never close them. Easier to keep an eye on the toddler with the doors open

No. There is absolutely no need since we have two toilets in the house.

Lockheart · 03/03/2019 09:00

I would never unless I needed help going to the bathroom (e.g. in case of injury). Even then I'd hate it. I always lock the bathroom door even when it's just me in the house (you never know if someone might come home and try to go straight to the loo!).

I had an ex who got a bit funny with me because I used to lock the door to the toilet when staying at his. He couldn't understand why I'd do that. But he had very few boundaries. One of the reasons he's now an ex...

Only once, ever, when I was in labour and DH was carrying the G&A around! Didn't care at the time but cringed afterwards!
