What you and partner do that others would find gross

[VegMam]

Inspired by the peeing in the shower thread, where apparently it’s gross to share a towel (I disagree). Are there things you and your partner do that might be considered gross?

In my house we have multiple toothbrushes and my husband and I just use whichever one (ie we share toothbrushes).

However, we’d never wear outdoor shoes in the house, nor would outdoor clothes be allowed on or in our bed.

Yeah , but that's totally different!
I've stayed and helped the kids but definite no to chatting with an adult taking a shit. When I'm in the bathroom it's for me and that door is totally shut !

Why is putting snot in the washing machine horrific? Until very recently, everyone used handkerchiefs and if they couldn’t afford it, quite literally snot rags.

As for gross stuff? Put the dog’s bowls in the dishwasher. Allow them to sleep on the bed. Occasionally share toothbrushes if away and one is forgotten, occasionally share towels, drink out of the same cup or bottle. Sometimes fart in front of each other - side eyeing dh there as his are far from discrete and I complain he didn’t leave the room. Mine is more when I have gut issues. And we own loo brushes.

We once did the deed on the dining table at lunchtime then the same evening we had a couple to dinner who we didn't much like, it was a bit of an obligation, and I made sure she was seated at the exact spot, we exchanged a few knowing smiles. I had given it a quick wipe over to be honest.

We rarely wash our jeans… I’m not sure why. My partner never washes his work trousers, which is kind of nasty when he wears them 5 days a week…

We pee in front of each other, and fart in front of each other too. I draw the line at pooing though, that’s still a private moment 😂

Also whoever blows their nose into a towel, that is just grim. I hope you don’t do it when visiting other peoples houses (🤔… thinks of everyone who has been in and out of my house and had access to the bathroom hand towel😱)

@Pumpkinpatchlookinggood Cats and dogs noses were invented especially to be kissed 😁

Maybe you could place the snotty towel on the sheet to protect it and it's absorbant too, a winner all round.

Used to hate it when I was in the bath and ex used to come in for a crap. No way I would go in they're voluntarily. I actually don't recall a time when he was in the bath and me on the throne.😂😂😂

What would you imagine that certain age to be @tyyger ?

We don't shower before or after

Ewww

Do you people seriously shit whilst in the same room as your DH, or even with the door open?
I really dont know if that’s a joke or not.
Me and DH have been together 16 years and I still have make sure I put a little bit of loo roll down first to drown out the sound of plop 😂

Most people?! I would say only a few

I prefer to shower pre-sex as I dont feel comfortable receiving oral sex unless I have, and "sex sheets" is on the same level as penis beaker!

@QuizzlyBears it is gross but its clearly not that bad as they are alive.

At work so many people don't wash their hands in the loo and we all touch stuff.

We have one handle for our electric toothbrush but we have different heads!

Agree! Same when I was with my ex. Maybe we are gross!

🤮🤮🤮🤮

I couldn't imagine being in a long term relationship and not farting in front of each other or being paranoid about going for a poo (and therefore not having the door open sometimes) - if you can't relax in your own home where can you??? Don't get me wrong, it took a good couple of years to get there but for the rest of your life? Crazy!

We wash the dog bowls in the dishwasher with our crockery and cutlery. But our dogs eat homemade food so I really don’t see why MN gets the vapors over this. Our dogs eat chicken, beef, salmon, yams, vegetables, rice, kidney beans. And they leave nothing in their bowls so I really don’t understand the hysteria. We don’t have bits of dog food swishing around in the dishwasher because they don’t eat canned food and they don’t leave anything behind.
Bow if you feed your dog something from a can, that’s pretty disgusting. Can’t understand why people feed their dogs something they wouldn’t dare eat themselves.

She’s joking people..

@BritWifeInUSA

It’s the dog saliva that’s bothering people, which also carries the poo and other junk that dogs eat.

I find this so strange.
I mean, if I had to talk to my husband whilst he did a poo I would but why would you ever choose to? Why choose to sit a smallish room as it increasingly smells
of shit when you can just wait and talk after?

@venusandmars I don’t find the idea of sharing toothbrushes instinctively disgusting but as someone with lifelong gum issues and a tendency to cavities I have learnt that whilst oral health is obviously mainly down to tooth brushing and diet, bacteria also plays a part. The science is still unfolding but it’s clear some people have less favourable bacteria in their mouths. Sharing toothbrushes can transmit whole hosts of things.
Im careful now to never let my kids share my toothbrush..

Fucking no way

Thats beyond filthy

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

We pee and fart in front of each other.We pick each others hard to reach spots.We allow the indoor cat to sleep at the end of the bed and occasionally talk about bowel movements and my period in length.

Not washing hands and sharing a toothbrush is just vile to me, sorry. Peeing in the shower and blowing your nose In towels is also not for me but not as vile.
