Do most grown men know how to wipe properly?

I swear I’m not a poo troll, I don’t post often but this is really irking me!!! My partner often leaves “marks” on the sheets, even towels after he’s had a bath. He just went to the bathroom whilst I was in the bath (issue in itself) and he wiped once, put the paper straight in the toilet, wiped a second time- straight down the toilet. Was about to pull his pants up when I lost it!! I asked how he knows it clean!!!??? We’ve had this conversation before due to marks left etc! He sighed and said he’s a man! Sat back down and wiped and looked at the paper, 4 more times until it was clean! This is a deal breaker for me now! I seriously cannot be with a grown man who can’t wipe his own backside properly!!! Tell me this isn’t normal and is not a “man” thing? I have two adult boys, I taught them both how to wipe as part of toilet training so what the hell is wrong with him?!!

I couldn't be with anyone who came in the bathroom while I was having a bath to have a poo. And you were watching him? That's weird in itself? I can't get my head around that.

The wiping issue is bad, but so is this! Don't you lock the bathroom door?

I’m glad it’s not just me, I can absolutely cope with someone shitting in front of me, but I’d chose not to watch if I had other options, I wouldn’t voluntarily sit in the bath watching my husband take a shit and then watching him wipe his arse.

if there was only one loo and he needed desperately id get out. Or turn and face the other way. I’d not lay there watching him.

the whole thing is grim.

I am very glad to be a lesbian.

A friend broke up with a short-term boyfriend because he had dingleberries. I've heard that men not washing their backsides properly is not uncommon. It's beyond disgusting. Throw the man away.

Nah, that’s not ok. My husband and every bloke I’ve ever been with has known how to wipe their arse. It’s not common for men to walk around covered in their own shit.

Squirt aloe vera on the paper and use it to actually clean the dirty arsehole, instead of a perfunctory smear with a dry tissue 🤮

Straight men really are a different species.
