A bit of context here, DH and I have been together for over four years, married for 9 months.
For about the past year, when I go to the bathroom, 2/3 of the time I am greeted by his unflushed offerings. Let me be frank, we're talking the liquid variety here so nothing overly vile, but due to bathroom routines whenever I get there it's been sat festering (with the lid open) for around 8hrs. Not great at the best of times but in this warmer weather? Delightful!
We're very environmentally aware, so all of our toilets.are low flush; he's not doing it to save water. I've called him up on it SO many times and his stock answer is 'I just forgot' which I do not understand as for me, after thirty years of doing it, flushing is a reflex action. Not only does it stink, it's a huge turn off and as we live in a really hard water area, is staining the toilet really badly and makes it a nightmare to clean.
What else can I do? Short of public humiliation by a passive aggressive facebook status or speaking to.his mother and hoping she shames him into doing it, I'm out of ideas. We do have another toilet so I could try and ban him from one so he's the one faced with it, but if he can't remember to flush, I think using the other toilet is beyond his memory capacity. I'm well.aware thar marriage id
