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?!

Exactly. I've never lived in a house with more than one toilet. Lots of people only have one.

Wow. This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever read.
We’ve just renovated a house and we were living in three rooms - one of the being the bathroom. At no point did I dictate that my husband or son couldn’t use the toilet when they needed to.
You’re being so unreasonable I can’t believe it’s real.

This gets more absurd.

You have two toilets available at home and you are sending. DH to shit at work 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'd have told you where to go. Is he completely spineless and just puts up with your controlling behaviour?

I think you're lucky he didn't shit in your handbag!

No way I’d be entertaining that. I’m a between 3am and 4am crapper, so wouldn’t be holding on for anyone.

Omg you can’t dictate where and when someone has a poo. How ridiculous.

Majority of people in the UK only have one bathroom...how do you think they cope?

Snort!

I hope you never get bowel issues…where you have absolutely no control and total urgency to use the loo… you can’t just wait until it is convenient for your over sensitive partner to go - you have seconds warning and then have to go or have an accident . Can’t wait until you go to work …

pooing is a natural function . Bleach and cleaning fluids are readily available for the smell we ALL produce.

think you are being absolutely ridiculous dictating where and when he can go.

When you need a poo, you need a poo.

If he can comfortably hold on until he gets to work that's OK, but he shouldn't have to. Ignoring the signal is not a good habit to get into and can lead to years of problems.

I hope he does. He's probably been controlled into submission by now. The OP is abusive.

Regardless of whether it's a reverse (or completely made up) It's coercive & controlling behaviour.

That's insane. However Detol with a dash of washing up liquid, mixed with water, in a spray bottle, instantly cuts smells. My DP has a stoma.

Poor bloke

Down to one bathroom? Oh my god you poor poor thing.

Of course! Because who wants their bedroom stinking of poo?

If you only have one bathroom, it doesn't lead directly into your bedroom.

You sound ridiculous.

Actually two. Turns out they’ve also got an en-suite…

And she apparently has friends who think her abusive behaviour is amusing.

Wait a minute [slaps palm on forehead]. This is the Mumsnet poo troll isn't it. Every now and then we get some weird poo related thread on here and this fits right into the mode.

Striking matches is surprisingly effective at getting rid of fart/poo smells.

I’m also in the ‘this can’t be real’ camp. If it is then I feel really sorry for your dh living with someone so thoroughly selfish & unreasonable (seriously not hard to stick some bleach in & open a window - how incapable are you?)

I thought I had seen it all but no, I had not.

You are telling him where to go to the toilet?
