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?!

Are you high?

Maybe I'm high.

Get a grip; you sound very entitled. It's a fact a lot of properties in the UK have only one bathroom - and that the bathroom will be the only room with a WC, so shared by everyone who lives there.

The drive to build all new properties with a separate downstairs cloakroom is relatively recent - and also very sensible.

So do I. I live on my own but there are plenty of couples and even families on my street. They seem to manage with one bathroom.

Struggle on in ignorance then.

@WarmDeer

when you get divorced OP you might need to live in a bed sit with one bathroom. Divorce can be very expensive. And you’ll have to smell your own shit.

2/10

1- you dint have a downstairs bathroom but a downstairs toilet.
2- insisting your dh waits until work or goes to the gym is controlling!
3- you’re not even mentioning if that applies to you too!!
4- most people have a ‘schedule’ of when the body will be ready for a poo. You don’t just wait a bit longer like you would for a wee. Cue for issues with constipation. That is if you dint have bowels issues and urgency….

If you had tried that with me, I’d have laughed at you badly. Followed by telling you to f* off if you had insisted.
I mean if that was that much of a problem, you could have spent the day out if the house instead.

The point is OPs DH is in a regular pattern of going for a dump before work.
whats with the “doing his business” op?
Treat him like a dog and talk about him like he’s a dog, you’re a delight aren’t you!

I’d much rather poo on works time than my own - it’s one of life’s small pleasures!

No he couldn’t be bothered with the fight.
Very different.

But, but then his colleagues will be subjected to his nuclear level stenches every day and have to work through it in a heatwave?

Yes why is he producing such notice stenches? I can go into any bathroom after anyone in the house and not be repelled.

Maybe he needs to eat better?

Whether you eat MacDonald’s or a plate of broccoli - shit will still stink.

If I was your DH I would have shit in your bed

Wait till OP discovers that not only do sone people not have multiple bathrooms, some people don’t have utility rooms either…

Totally agree!
I think not flushing toilet paper is quite common in many countries in Europe that I’ve visited, if you’re lucky there’s a bidet to use!
its very entitled and actually bizarre to not allow a toilet to be used.
The only exception would be if someone is going to have a bath straight after in which case you’d try and avoid leaving it smelly!

of course you would 🙄

'Down to just the one bathroom'

Thoughts and prayers OP.

There is no way I could,.l 'do my business' to order!

I'd buy an air freshener or open a window.

We all lived with one bathroom a few decades ago!

Sarcasm dear

And millions of us still do!

Yes, in fact Broccoli farts are probably one of the worst, smells pretty bad before it goes in!

Honestly I'd look at his diet. Sounds like too much UPF and not enough protein/fibre.

Please say you're joking. Inflicting the smell on his work colleagues rather than in his own home.
Do you realise there are many peasants that have to live with just 1 bathroom all the time.

Yes *tumblingdowntherabbithole of course millions still do. *
