YABU.
As someone who has a husband, who spends an hour to an hour and a half - in the bathroom, (5 or 6 times a week,) and also spends 20-25 minutes in there when he just goes for a shit, I would love to have an extra loo at least! Maybe not an extra bathroom, but an extra loo.
He says to me (every time he goes in for his marathon bathroom stint,) 'do you need the toilet, coz I am going in for my shower/shit/shave/preen/moisturising session/goatie trim, fuck knows what else!!!!!!!!' And I say 'no' because I don't need it.
Then an hour later I need a wee, so I say 'can I come in - I need a wee.' Cue a load of huffing and puffing about how I said I didn't need the loo! I say 'well I didn't when you asked me, an HOUR ago!'
I swear he never used to be this bad. We had a whole family of 2 adults and 2 kids for almost 20 years with one bathroom/one toilet, and I don't remember a fight for it then, ever. Not once! And no-one ever spent more than 5 minutes having a shit, or more than 15-20 minutes if they were having a shower or bath. But now, DH spends HOURS in the bathroom, and I'd give anything to have 2 toilets.
So I can understand people wanting 2 from the onset, and also separate bedrooms from the onset too, as it's so hard to sleep in the same bedroom with your husband/partner long-term. For the first decade/decade and a half or so of your relationship yes, but beyond that/past the age of 40? No!
Sleep deprivation is a form of torture, and most men snore. And kick and flail about, and grunt, and fart, and poke and jab you, and hog the bed. So if someone can afford a place with more bedrooms (and bathrooms) that some think they should have, then good for them.
