Embarrassing Bathroom Disaster

This is embarrassing. I have a husband who spends 30 minutes + in the morning having a poo with a cup of tea and his phone.
I have chronic digestive issues including IBS.
I have sudden bad attacks which always seem to coincide with his bathroom interlude. I have had some very embarrassing incidents. Sudden and no warning. He’s not a nice man anyway and his advice is keep a bucket by the bed, not I’ll spend less time in the loo.
AIBU about this?

Why are you staying married to this prick?

sillyslippage · 09/08/2025 10:42

he is so selfish, I have IBS and DH knows to keep the bathroom as free as we can, I would be telling him straight and if he won't change, well there you have your answer as to how important you are to him.

Third poo post of the day

Its been incredibly strange around here lately 🤔

RaininSummer · 09/08/2025 10:45

Odd. Maybe move to house with two loos or install one under the stairs or something. Or buy an emergency portable toilet. Or leave him.

Seconded, why are you married to this prick. In my last house I built a shed on the side of my house and had a toilet plumbed in. It's always a good idea to have an emergency toilet. You can also get camping toilets much like buckets with toilet seats you put water and a sterilising tablet in. Not ideal but better than the alternative.

When he’s out get a lock fitted on the bathroom door that only you have a key for and give him this -

Alternatively, raise your bar and your self esteem by leaving this repulsive excuse for a man.

Your issue isn’t ibs related, it’s husband related. Get rid.

Chompingatthebeat · 09/08/2025 12:58

Taking your phone into the loo is such a horrible habit

grizzlyoldbear · 09/08/2025 13:01

get 2 loos

nutbrownhare15 · 09/08/2025 13:01

Can you consider leaving this man who has such contempt for you?

BallerinaRadio · 09/08/2025 13:03

You cannot believe you are being unreasonable in this 'situation'

Ridingthegravytrain · 09/08/2025 13:09

More like a “shituation”

okydokethen · 09/08/2025 13:28

Especially with a cup of tea 🤢

CarefullyCuratedFurniture · 09/08/2025 13:45

He takes a cup of tea into the toilet? That's gross.

Harrysarseinthedogbowl · 09/08/2025 13:47

Your digestive issues might resolve if you expelled this monstrous shit from your life.

QuarkQuarkPoshDuck · 09/08/2025 13:48

@DebsA1 you do realise life is too short to be married to a prick like this??

Pack your stuff and leave!

Hoppinggreen · 09/08/2025 13:48

The worst shit in this whole tale is your H

Why are you staying married to this prick?

Think this answer is all you need to think about 🤷‍♀️

TheSandgroper · 09/08/2025 13:57

A cup of fucking tea while you shit? Ok. I’ve heard it all now.

Fuck, I’d leave him over hygiene. Dear Lord @DebsA1, have some standards.

Oh, and he’s horrible to you because it makes him happy.

Lemonadeat8 · 09/08/2025 13:58

The men women settle for never shocks me anymore. Leave or get a decent nappy.

EnjoythemoneyJane · 09/08/2025 14:08

He’s a nasty fucker who has nothing but contempt for you and wants you to humiliate yourself. He’s also filthy.

What makes you want to stay unhappily married to this prick? Divorce him and get a nice little place of your own with a loo nobody else gets to lock you out of.
