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?

@AngelinaFibres

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

Do you seriously shower after every bowel motion?

Sooooo inconsiderate. He definitely needs to relocate! You need to explain how unpleasant you find it.

We have a rule that anything stinky is kept to the downstairs loo - it's just courtesy.

Aesop's post poo drops if you can't get him to use a different loo

I wouldn't be able to sleep, wondering if he had cleaned himself properly

My DH is banned from pooing in the private toilet in the room if we’re staying in a hotel - I make him use the main ones for everyone. If we had an en-suite it would be a strictly pop-free zone. That’s totally rank and worse so before bed!
How can you not say anything?!

En suites are for wees and showers!

Just ask him to use the other toilet and tell him why

I would never have an en-suite for this reason

Hi OP. Another vote for suggesting the other loo.
We have this rule too. “No poo in the en-suite loo”.

I know when I’m away he’s in there for hours, bless him. And he can let a loud, smelly fart rip too without consequences. He says sadly it’s not as much fun when I’m not there to get annoyed.

😅 Do you think that about everyone around you all day who might have recently pooed? Do you personally shower after every poo? Do you have concerns about men's/your DH/OP's DH's wiping abilities? Would you think the same for all evening poos or is it any time of day? Moreover, is it only ones in ensuites that you think aren't cleaned up properly?

So many questions... (I'm only half joking too, I'm legitimately intrigued haha)

He’s not embarrassed about stinking up the bedroom so why are you hesitant to tell him to use a different toilet?

Surely the solution is simple.....poo in a different loo?!

Nit sure why people buy a house with enough suite then complain when it's used. Open window shut the door no smell....

@FindMeInTheSunshine

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

Isn't there a risk of an explosion here?

@nocoolnamesleft

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.

I managed to 'adjust' my body clock so I did this function at work with two benefits...

1. Saved on that scarce commodity - toilet paper.
2. I was being PAID to do it!

Oh golly, another pooing in the en suite one!! It's almost as good as a parking in my drive/neighbor pruning my tree/next door neighbor vacuuming at 7:00 a.m. one! But with poo!

About 30 years ago we were helping friends (moving from another country) look at houses, new builds, and I was very surprised to see a few houses with a en-suite with no door off a huge master bedroom! The fancy bath tub would be in full view of the bedroom and the toilet would be around the other side of a little wall/cubby hole.

My friends picked a house with a regular en-suite (with door) but the wife hated it because of the noise and smells. She said she was woken up every morning by the sound of her husband pissing - and farting, and then brushing his teeth for ages. I never seemed to be able to forget that for some reason.

I don’t understand why people don’t like en-suite bathrooms. I love ours. It is attached to the master bedroom & has a large walk in closet also attached. The toilet has a separate door , so 2 doors separate it from the bedroom. The toilet has a fan. The en-suite also has a fan, so no smells in the bedroom. Why wouldn’t people like this?

@Ionlydomassiveones

“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

tell him. it won't stop otherwise, will it?

i think you are the one who is embarrassed

“the windows are open you fucking foghorn!”

This has ended me

I can't believe you've never said anything OP, as you're too worried about hurting his feelings the man is assaulting your nostrils every night, for the love of God tell him to use the other bathroom!

Just tell him. Do you have one of those relationships where you never talk about bodily functions?

I don’t think you would be unreasonable to ask him to use another toilet in the home.
It doesn’t take a lot of empathy to realize that what he’s doing isn’t very nice to you and he’s being inconsiderate. I wouldn’t be afraid to upset him about this.

Do you not have an air freshener in there for him to squirt?

Loving the risk of explosion comment.

But yes, yes, poo in a different loo.

Hi OP, I think it’s strange that you can’t talk to your DH about this! Why don’t you just make it that no-one poos in the en-suite? He surely can’t be that precious that he’d sulk if you politely asked him?

Do you seriously shower after every bowel motion?

Yes. Shower hose is detachable so its not a full shower as such.
No more UTIs.
