AIBU?

To think going to the loo in front of your dh is disgusting!?

This just came up in conversation with my sister. She thinks it's perfectly normal that her and her dh will have a shit in front of each other whilst the other is showering or brushing their teeth or whatever.

I just think it's really unnecessary! I do have poo issues so is it me being weird or her?

I'm definitely not the poo troll by the way

I'm used to doing every kind of ablution in front of 4 other people in this house.

I can't remember the last time I was on the loo and at least one person didn't come in to ask me something or in the case of the smallest one just needed to be in the same room as me.

I'd never go in the room if DH was pooing as his shit doesn't smell like roses as I've decided mine actually does as it's obviously not offending any of them.

Ds now sits outside the door when I'm pooing asking if it's a comfy poo or a mean poo.

I've just died of laughter.

Notmuchtosay1 · 25/08/2016 06:48

Yes we have some poo pourri too. Spray before going and it stops the smell. 😷

newmumwithquestions · 25/08/2016 08:02

We had no bathroom walls for a couple of months. You can't unsee or unhear things so after that we were pretty relaxed about it.
We do try to avoid pooping when the other one is doing something (eg shower) though, or if we're going to bed tend to tell the other one to go and do their teeth first if we need to poo. Wees? I don't even bother closing the door.

I'm surprised by the amount of people that run taps though. What a lot of water just being run down the drain!

12 years 3 births 2 of which I pooped whilst giving birth he's seen it all so pooping peeing and farting is normal although he hates it if I cough in my pants but I tell him if he can I can x

"No farting either ,there really isn't any need imo."

I can't control when I fart. Are you saying that you can?

TheDowagerCuntess · 26/08/2016 19:46

I think most people can, can't they? Most people don't fart in public, in front of colleagues, friends, etc.

user7755 · 26/08/2016 19:58

If you can't control when you fart, have you got a medical condition?

Of course you can't control when you want to fart but you just hold it in or go somewhere private and do it.

DH goes outside for a cig and has startled many a late night dog walker whilst trying to hide his farts from me

SpookyPotato · 26/08/2016 20:16

I can't control the fart coming but I can control its release so it's a whisper

SpookyPotato · 26/08/2016 20:19

user7755 That's so funny! Reminds me when I was staying at my mums and I was really windy. I wanted to spare DP from it so I had a good old session while in the bath. I got out to laughter from the bedrooms on both sides of the bathroom from him and my mum, they had bounced off the bath and echoed through the walls! So much for subtle

Gwenhwyfar · 26/08/2016 22:00

" Most people don't fart in public, in front of colleagues, friends, etc."

Well, I didn't really know that. In front of colleagues I thought people just controlled the noise.

Gwenhwyfar · 26/08/2016 22:01

"can't control the fart coming but I can control its release so it's a whisper"

Same here, but I can't stop it happening in time to get to another room.
If I have a medical condition user, I'm not the only one!

user7755 · 26/08/2016 22:04

I'm sure you're not. The only person that I know who can't control his farts (as opposed to doesn't) has ulcerative colitis.

spooky thats funny!

problembottom · 26/08/2016 23:55

Never done a poo in front of each other, grim! But we don't shut the door for wees. I do find couples that have never farted in front of each other funny - I'm quite po faced about farting but DP has certainly heard me! He was delighted the first time he ever caught me actually, thought it was brilliant and encouraged me to fart with gay abandon. No ta!

We have friends, now split, who never burped, farted, weed etc in front of each other. Weird thing was DP said the bloke was the number one farter, loved toilet humour, when with the lads, but wanted to pretend his missus had never trumped in her life. Bit odd?

liz70 · 27/08/2016 00:01

DH will exit the room suddenly. I just shout after him a few seconds later, "I heard that."

Janey50 · 14/09/2016 17:22

No problem whatsoever with pooing or weeing in front of DP. If he has seen you go through the indignities of giving birth,what is the problem? Although I will admit,I do prefer not to be in the same room as my other half when he has a number 2,because of the hideous stench unpleasant smell.

YelloDraw · 14/09/2016 17:30

No you don't drop a stinky curry fart at work in front of people! You hold it in until you can get to a toilet.

minipie · 14/09/2016 17:36

Wee in front of each other - yes, no problem

Poo in front of each other - prefer not to, but it's not the end of the world if it happens

Can't get that worked up about bodily functions tbh.

orenisthenewblack · 14/09/2016 17:43

Omg my DH would have a heart attack. He's seen me give birth twice but he really hates anything about people's toilet habits.
I would love an ensuite but he can't even handle that (( even though he's fine in hotel rooms))

how do you hold farts in please, what kind of spells do you use?
