Who spends an hour having a poo?

[Beaverdam100]

Partner spends and hour having a poo. My father is the same and actually takes a book in there.

If my partner has had a busy day, he will tell me he hasnt been to the toilet as if its a big deal. When i go to the toilet, I'm done in 2 mins at the most. I don't even think about the last time i went or remember any of it but he acts like it has a big deal and a very important element of his day.

Is this a man thing?

I'm voting for the man thing unless you have a health condition that causes long stays.

My Dad bless him has to go first thing in the morning or else the whole day is a disaster and he won't go out. And he doesn't have a problem that causes it except too many doughnuts! My dh takes a blooming age so much so that I issued him with a temporary residence permit to tease him over it.

My husband sits on the bog reading, he always has a book on the go, I sometimes think I would like to read that book and then think no, because he's sat on the bog with poo fumes going all over it. 🤮🤮

Raising my hand, embarrassing so, but I have IBS and diverticular disease. Mostly under control now but, yes, in the past it could be an hour and then again a short time later, and again etc. Not a fun time.

crying at 'all stuck up'

Right he either just wants some quiet me time, or he has a problem, possible lazy bowel. Change of diet may help. More fruit, vegetables, less meat more exercise and lots of water. If that doesn't solve take him (force) him to visit doctors.

Poo fumes hehe. Always put lid down before you flush, always! poo cloud

Anyone explained poo knife yet?

God , I’d forgotten that particular childhood horror...family of 5 with just the one bathroom 🤢🤢

RE: men waiting for it to fall out... this is true and not just men. My DD used to do this up until 2 years ago and we had to do bowel training.

In her defence she's had bowel problems for years.

I also have a hernia that causes me problems and IBS so I've been known to be in the loo for ages but not an hour.

I think they're just hiding in there, my DH doesn't do this. He's in and out but he does go at the same time every day.

My daughter’s boyfriend (who lives with us) spends ages in the loo having a pop!!! He watches football on his phone 😱 I’ve bought him a poo timer for Christmas!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Same here, Crohns, however I sometimes retreat there with a book for a break, two birds with one stone!! I recommend it.

Apart from obvious medical reasons, I'd ban all mobiles,books, magazines and anything that can distract their minds from the job in hand. .

I wonder if I have a medical problem as it takes me ages too. I am sure you don’t want technical details but it doesn’t just plop out and that’s it. It is a long process!

I have literally birthed all of my babies in less time than it takes my partner to do a crap.

Screaming with laughter at this^ So true!

OP!! The toilet was boiling I am howling!!!!

My dad is the same, takes a book in.
My brother also used to take his top off when he went for a poo... Never got a reason why. Caught him taking his laptop in a couple of times too. Dread to think what was going on.

It’s a common thing amongst men because they use it as an excuse to have some ‘me’ time.

No one can disturb you when you go to the toilet.

Two of my exes have done this. It’s not that they take ages to s**t it’s because it gets them away from the family.

I've answered this before. I swear it's to do with poor potty training. The child is put on the potty directly after a meal and made to stay there till he performs.

I had my babies pretty quickly. My first took a bit longer as induced at 36 weeks but babies two and three took 2 hours each.

So me = 2 babies
In the same time as
Your DH = 4 poos

He's probably having a crafty wank afterwards...

I have.....(ahem)...ishoos.

Between unpredictable reactions to new foods, medication for drug induced chronic constipation and a small rectocele from said chronic constipation, I need a full on 'session' for clearing and cleaning.

I have a toilet kit which consists of glycerin and haemorrhoid suppositories, tissues, wet toilet tissues, VIPoo and a small Impulse aerosol.

When I'm too scared to fart, in case I shart, I can take up to an hour sometimes.

Ask him if he's seen a doctor for it.

OMG I so feel your pain my hubby spends all.morming and.you.literlaskyngave to scream at him that we are going to be late before he finishes. He also makes sure that having his poo comes first so after he's dawdled for a hour he will then decide to get dressed washed etc. Doesn't matter how early he wakes up. Always seems to be when we are due to go. There's one toilet in house and my DS7 has now started doing the same at 6pm after his tea. Sitting for an hour playing on his phone or tablet. None of them.aeem to register that I have IBS and literally I could be in agony and screaming at the and they'll not move till they ready.

I’m in lockdown, there’s not much else to do to be fair!

I had stomach removed so nothing flows anymore, it's a nightmare I have to take laxatives which help then dont. I then go too much and the cycle starts again. Poor me. Not dead though Haha

He’s probably not having a poo!!
