To have insisted on DH doing his ‘business’ at work when we were down to one bathroom

[WarmDeer]

I told my friends this last night who found it amusing so would be interested to hear if they are the only ones!

We were down to just our upstairs bathroom this week as the downstairs bathroom was being re-done (finally finished yesterday afternoon).

Given the heat, DH was told that he should do his usual morning business when he arrives at his work rather than use the upstairs bathroom, as I didn’t fancy the smell festering all morning in this heat.

DH was fine with this - AIBU to have made such a request?!

This is amazing. You actually think that, in the words of Andre3000 "your shit don't stank".

Or sleep in the first Mrs De Winter's boudoir.

We all know how that went off. 😬

You sound horrible quite frankly

If his shit stinks so much that it festers all day around the house, maybe he should see a doctor.

I’d be addressing the small issue. That isn’t normal.

100% this..

I think he needs to improve his toilet usage.

Knowing that his shit has nuclear stench, he need to open the window as soon as he goes in and then as soon as the first piece of shit hits the pan, he needs to flush within about 1 second. Any more shit that he does needs flushing as soon as the cistern is ready.

there is no need to make the bathroom smell all morning if you flush quickly and multiple times.

my DH used to often shit and make the entire house smell so I told him to adopt the above procedures!

Your DH is a much more tolerant man than I am.

What on earth is wrong with you?

Yes it is a natural bodily function, but it is possible to use the bathroom considerately by using windows and flushing quickly and multiple times during the poo-mageddon.

Assuming you are not yet in the throes of a grim perimenopause! Just hoping he is more understanding and discreet if/when your own bodily functions are for 1,2,3s all over the place even with 2-3 showers a day. Not to mention the many folk who suffer a bowel condition. May not apply now but none of us know what is ahead.

Your stand is precious, unreasonable and reflects on your icks that the man can’t go to his own facilities without feeling self conscious or being left in peace. Open a window. Clean the area. Just hope any DC not getting this same directive.

On plus side if this is the headline issue chez toi this week, life otherwise must not be too bad!

Gosh how controlling and very immature. It's part of life, of he is eating the same as you which for some of the day is highly likely then you probably smell as bad to him.

I'd have told you to piss off. Unless you were also only going to poo at work. Open a window, use air freshener.
My DH absolutely stinks when he shits to the extent his work colleagues use the other toilet if he goes at work (and their toilets are in an outside building) so I wouldn't inflict that on them every day
We only have 1 toilet but luckily we worked out how to open the window and use air freshener.

If there’s one place you should be able to shit in peace, it’s your own bathroom!

Not asked but told. Can you imagine the outrage on here if a woman was told by her Husband when and where she should use the bathroom?

Oh good god!

How does he not find this embarrassing? Do men not care about this stuff?

So you do still have 2 useable toilets, you just dont want them used?

Poor sod 😂

I got that song in my head as soon as I started reading this thread 😄

Exactly this. And the use of the word “told” is suggestive of a concerning lack of equality in their relationship.

Notice the OP hasn’t been back to take part in the discussion. Suspect the responses aren’t quite what she’d hoped for…

I’d say no darling I can do the most basic of human functions n my own home and you will have to learn how to cope with it. It is you who is unreasonable

You discuss your husband's bowel habits with your friends?

Id have told you to fuck right off! Just when I thought I'd heard it all...this is totally ridiculous

Why is it oh good god? The entire house otherwise stinks of shit and there are 4 of us in it.

Either she chose him because he has no backbone or just got lucky; either way, the OP should be thanking her lucky stars her DH is so tolerant of her demands - because most men would have told her in no uncertain terms where she gets off.
