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

[Piniatapearl]

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

and I could see the reflection of him wiping his arse on the shiny wardrobe doors

Why couldn't he use toilet paper like everybody else?

Haha bung.

Haha bung.

The beauty of being totally at ease with each other means so much. I am in my 60's and we still wander round the home without clothes, with imperfect bodies, its natural. We have no hangups about bathroom, hardly ever close door if its just us. If we have a problem with a tummy upsets (I have IBS) we will say "dont come in - bad tum time" but otherwise no issues and as for the cleaning teeth thing did I really see right - god help it if you ever get old and decrepid and reach false teeth stage lol! I have had horrendous surgeries which my husband has helped dress and vica versa its being content and happy and secure :)

Wee yes, poo never! It's totally different, poo is smelly and a private thing. We're really close but I don't want to smell his insides! We make sure we spray and no skids after too
I don't have an issue with other people doing it though as long as both sides are in agreement on poo-gate

I have ulcerative colitis. We only have one bathroom. I wish things were different but DH has had to 'adapt' to my urgency. I cannot wait for the day we have multiple toilet facilities.

I'd wee in front of a partner (but have done only with two long term partners). But for a poo, I'd definitely want to be by myself. And have my partner not talk to me through the door. And preferably be on another level of the house 😂

Both DH and I have worked as care assistants, so seeing other people going to the toilet is nothing. Considering DH has seen my pert behind, and I've seen his hairy arse, many times, bombing the pot isn't a big deal at all to us.

If I was in the bath/shower and DH/DC needed to go for a dump, I'd rather they go in the toilet, while I'm showering/in the bath, than waiting for the bathroom to be free and end up crapping on the floor.

My teen boys leave the door open for a poo which is so annoying. I would never poo in front of anyone and always lock the door, and I often run the tap water so no noise. Hubby & daughter are the same. Wee's however are completely different. I will often go in for a wee if hubby is in the bath.

Doesn't bother me at all. It's just a bodily function, and my DH has seen me give birth & the aftermath of that, so nothing fazes either of us.

Like several posters dh proved his status as a keeper by taking me to the toilet after I'd given birth ( had spinal for stitches , fm had no idea where my feet were though I though i was ok ! )

Of course I wouldn't choose it normally but there is no one id rather have look after me including professional carers tbh.

Rarely if ever even close the bathroom door, just have it ajar, so yes, wee, poo whatever with a potential audience.

Wee in front of DH all the time, no poo's anymore. In our old house we only had one loo, and sometimes needs must, but now there is never a need. TBH the main reason I avoid entering is the fact you need a gas mask when my hubby goes!

Wee-often
Poo-not unless avoidable.

As others have said now he's watched me have two babies, which both involved me puking everywhere and one involved me shitting on the floor, I'm not too concerned.

Especially in the morning, one of us in the shower and one having morning wee/brush teeth and we switch. I have pooed while he was in the bath but that was and emergency. That "cannot hold it before going into labour" poo and he was in the bath 😲

If I was in the bath/shower and DH/DC needed to go for a dump, I'd rather they go in the toilet, while I'm showering/in the bath, than waiting for the bathroom to be free and end up crapping on the floor.

Does this actually happen?

I'm with the consensus - pee yes, poo no.

I don't put my makeup on in front of my husband either, I'm trying to maintain a teensy bit of mystery.

A pee, no problem. A poo, no, never. Married 20 years and it has never happened

Its all down to how your relationship works I guess, personally i think after being with someone, having sex with someone, them seeing you give birth....sitting on a toilet infront of someone is totally normal, don't see the big deal to be fair.

Depends on how long you've been together! My husband has seen me give birth and have various bugs with it coming out of both ends. I've seen him poo his pants. We were a bit coy when first together and we try to give privacy but generally I agree that it's not a huge deal after 18 years together!

We have always gone to the toilet in front of each other - until this thread I didn't realise it was an issue for some people.
Been together nearly 30 years.
Me and my 2 girls (15 and 12) will also share bathroom if necessary - but obviously they wouldn't with DH.

ambernectarine,

you made me laugh out loud, thanks !!:)

My word, you people!!!! You have shared many and varied bodily fluids and seen each other in some very vulnerable situations. Seeing your other half on the loo is the not an issue at all.

DH had to come to my rescue when I had the norovirus and it was coming out both ends...he carried me into the shower and hosed me off...

Zero point trying to be modest ever again, after that episode [shudder]

Nope would not poo in front of DH, don't even like him going in after me, find it really intrusion of privacy!! And a passion killer!
