To not describe your poo in great detail?

[MrsH99]

Wasn't all that sure where to post this but here goes anyways. Not really a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but does anyone else's other half feel the need to let you know everytime they go for a shit and then afterwards describe said shit in great detail? DH lets me know everytime he's going for a BM and then most of the time tells me all about it afterwards (size, smell, you name it). I'm not sure if I'm being prudish or what but it kind of grosses me out and makes me feel a tad uncomfortable - as in, what on earth am I supposed to say to that!? He's the only man I've ever lived with so I have no idea if this is a guy thing or not!

Yeah, men who insist on describing their shits would put me off sex with them for a long while.

Some people I used to know at work love to talk loudly and in detail about how their bowel habits are affected by their new diets, going on about how they're "NOT POOING" ... aaarrrrggghhhh shut the fuck up, nobody cares, and I don't want to hear about it when I'm trying to eat my fucking lunch thanks.

Strangely I can chat with my brother about BMs til the cows come home. But generally this is bad behaviour from a spouse and you shouldn't put up with it. Doing something which he knows you find annoying/offensive is just not on.

@Iooselipssinkships it sounds like you were with my ex!!! Or his doppelgänger. Urgh Christ alive!

Don't German toilets have a shelf to catch the crap so it can be properly examined before flushing away
Perhaps next Xmas present for him

@AlexaAmbidextra did you not bother reading the posts from women saying they like talking about shit?

Including the one who discusses it with her grandfather!?

It's not that 'men' talk about shit. It's weird people of both sexes.

DowntownAbby. Yes thank you. I have ‘bothered’ to read all the posts. Why the attitude? Where did I say it was just men talking about their shit? My earlier post referred to the posters recounting their bogey eating, snot blowing, farting partners who just happened, in those instances to be male. HTH.

Maybe the solution is just to start telling him in graphic detail about my own shits.

Don't do that, it would only encourage him. He sounds really quite dim if he bothers to give this headspace.

@AlexaAmbidextra

You said: That women share their living space and even shag these fucking mingers makes my skin crawl.

Which sounds pretty much like you're talking about men being the ones talking about shit.

DowntownAbby. Read my post of 23.21 again. I’m not going to explain it for you.

Is he the MN poo-troll?

My DH and I both do this on occasion

All you people who enjoy talking about it must be scat enthusiasts, it's just not normal to find pleasure discussing such things.

Never in a million years would I discuss bowel movements with anybody.
What the hell interest could I possibly be expected to have over somebodies waste matter?
Geez - desperate stuff or serious perversion.

Although I don’t discuss this stuff for pleasure. I’m glad me and DH aren’t so prudish that we can’t discuss it at all. When DH was bleeding when having a BM I was really concerned it was something sinister and I’m glad he felt he could talk to me as i really had to push to get him to go to the Drs. It’s just a bodily function, it’s nothing to be ashamed of!

YANBU to not want to know. If something causes diarrhoea or constipation then all you need to know is what, not the outcome on the toilet.

I worked with a girl who told me she’d sent a picture of her poo to her husband 🤮

I nearly started a thread about it at the time to ask is that not seriously abnormal?

Pretty normal to me!

My mil had Chrone's. Whenever we saw her she would advise us if she had 'been' that day or not.
If she had we had to hear about it. I mean ffs I def don't look like a intestinal specialist!!
Grim woman tbh...

Bathrooms are private.

We don't do poo discussions, use the loo in front of each other or fart.

Its grim.
