Loo-ing at night.

[Treesandsheepeverywhere]

Why does my DH do a stinky poo in the en-suite just before bed time! He has all day, all evening watching tv, yet he waits till I'm in bed before going. Great thing is the walls are great, so I don't hear anything, but my goodness, the smell!!!!!
It's the last thing I want just before dozing off.

I've never said anything as he would possibly be embarrassed and also possibly start holding it in, which isn't great.

I've never understood this bathroom in your bedroom thing.

I know it's his body clock etc but can i ask him to go at other times or will i be U?

Send him to another toilet. Presumably you have a main bathroom?

Do you only have the 1 bathroom? If not make him go in another one! If not tell him it's not acceptable.

If you have another bathroom ask him to use that.

Surely you can't ask him to go at another time though? You go when you need to right?

Sounds like that's when his body is programmed to go. But if you have a different loo, you could ask him to use that.

Yeah, I’d be asking him to use the general loo.

Main bathroom, that’s what that should’ve said.

Grim! So glad we don't have an en suite

I think en suite bathrooms are grim for this very reason.

It's the equivalent of having a downstairs loo opening off your living or dining room.

Everyone knows what is going on, but no one wants to know.

Get him to light a match? It does make a big difference!

“I've never said anything as he would possibly be embarrassed and also possibly start holding it in, which isn't great.”

Yeah you worry about his precious sensitive nature. He, meanwhile, couldn’t care less about grunting away and stinking the bedroom up.

I never understand how people can actually be married but not speak plainly to one another.
‘Mate, that stinks, can’t you do that in the downstairs toilet?’
What’s so tongue-crippling about that?

This ^

Just make the rule that the en-suite is for pee only 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you. I don't get it either

No pooing in the en-suite
That's the rules!

Poo Troll

DH did this once and I shouted loudly “Christ it stinks in there! Have you had diarrhoea?”.

The windows were open and the neighbours were out having a drink under our bedroom window. It suddenly went very quiet outside. DH growled at me through gritted teeth “the windows are open you fucking foghorn!”

I thought it was hilarious and he hasn’t shit in the en-suite since,

Hello - before the deluge of reports saying that this is the poo troll (ah, what a lovely phrase to type), we don't have any concerns that the OP is (poo) trolling here.

Asking someone to go (or not go) at a specific time is not okay, imo. You can't always control when you need to go. But yes, if there's another toilet he can use, I'd suggest that as an alternative, for the hour or so before bed. New house rule: Don't use the en-suite before bed.

It’s normal to use the main loo for no2 at night. You don’t want that wafting that stink through the bedroom. Just ask him to use the other loo as the flush is noisy etc just as you’re dropping off.

No, you can’t ask someone to change when they go.
You can ask them to change where they go.

Tell him, but if he's anything like my DH he'll complain that he won't be banished from the ensuite and nothing will change (he graciously did temporily when I was pregnant and would vomit from the smell!)

If I was subject to that I'd go off having sex with them forever.

Does he shower afterwards or get straight into bed (I realise he will have wiped but still a bit grim)

If you have two toilets YANBU tell him to use the other.
If you have one toilet YABU, buy some vipoo

Oh my god. Tell him.

“Derek, you know you love to curl one out just before bed and while I’m already tucked up? Yeah, well it reeks. Can you please, for the love of god, use the other bathroom? Thanks.”

I couldn’t have sex with someone knowing that firstly, they’d literally just done a poo, and secondly with its ghost hanging in the air.
