Do you watch your partner on the loo?

For the love of god - WHY?

I've lost count of the number of times I have seen posts on Mumsnet by women describing the face their husband pulls when he is wiping his arse, etc. One woman recently told how her husband took his trousers off for a poo.

Am I unusual in staying out of the bathroom while my beloved 'downloads his brownware'?

DP does have a habit of leaving the door open, but I don't hang around for the money shot.

Ick
No we have seperate bathrooms.

LunaticIsOnTheGrass · 10/05/2011 12:35

what madonnawhore said.

ThistleDoNicely · 10/05/2011 12:48

eewww....no way! I wouldn't let him leave the door open either. Just no.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 10/05/2011 12:53

WTF? God no, I have no wish to be that intimate with him. Ugh.

CandiceMariePratt · 10/05/2011 12:54

Hell no, think I would be sick

ratspeaker · 10/05/2011 12:57

urgh no

transferbalance · 10/05/2011 12:58

no way the smell wafting underneath the closed bathroom door is enough

Poledra · 10/05/2011 12:58

No. And was most mortified when he had to accompany me to the loo after surgery when heavily pg (the ward staff couldn't take me, as I was too heavy and wanted me to use a bedpan - what a choice!). And he had to stay with me to hold my infusion bag.

So he turned his back, put on the taps and whistled 'Raindrops keep fallin' on my head'!

GreenToes · 10/05/2011 12:59

Absolutely not, yuck.

LouMacca · 10/05/2011 13:01

I remember being in the bath once and my H came in, sat on the loo and proceeded to do a poo. I was absotuley livid!! We have a downstairs loo too which makes it even worse. He knows better now thank god - yuk!!

Allalone0 · 10/05/2011 13:21

WTF??? Eughhhhh!!!!!

I wouldn't want ANYONE being there, with me.....Why the F* would I want to be there when someone else is doing their business????????

GooGooMuck · 10/05/2011 13:33

he smells like a decomposing badger, so no.

whatsallthehullaballoo · 10/05/2011 13:37

Oh so relieved it is not just my husband who's smell is soo bad it wafts under the bathroom door and down the stairs!!!!!!!

I was thinking of putting a draft excluder in the toilet but he might feel I am being a bit obvious... Oh it stinks!!

2rebecca · 10/05/2011 14:04

No desire to watch him on loo and close door if I am in bathroom, lock it if guests here (family know closed bathroom door means someone is in there.). Those who are concerned by the smell why not insist husband opens window and sprays air freshener like I do. Men should be house trainable.

loopylou6 · 10/05/2011 14:18

Lol. We do sometimes conduct a convo whilst one of us is on the toilet, but its closed door time when its time to wipe thy royal Roman Grin

Taghain · 10/05/2011 16:21

It looks like we're the odd ones out. DP and I will happily share the bathroom when one of us is pissing or pooing. I'm rather inhibited about wiping my bum in front of her though, and it annoys me when she leaves the door wide open when I'm on the pedestal.
She's a farmer's daughter though, very used to barnyard odours, and we don't eat much meat so we may be less smelly than most.

TurnipCake · 10/05/2011 16:26

I'm single but if I ever get to the stage of living with someone again, I will be leaving this on top of the toilet :o

My ex used to poo with the door open - he'd actually insist the door was open and would push it open if I closed it (the bathroom in our flat wasn't ensuite, it led straight to the corridor and was opposite the living/dining area) Disgusting!

atswimtwolengths · 10/05/2011 20:06

Did he explain why he did such a thing, TurnipCake?

I would leave him for that alone!

fartingfran · 10/05/2011 20:10

Well, DP is more prudish about this than I am, but we have been known to poo in one anothers presence if necessary. I now shut the door more often because it means 5 minutes peace from the offspring. Much to DP's relief Grin

drivingmisscrazy · 10/05/2011 20:11

absolutely not (we are a same-sex couple, although why that makes a difference I've no idea!); it's bad enough that DD continually wants to come and see, thus exposing one or other of us to the reluctant gaze of the other. It's horrific

peeriebear · 10/05/2011 20:13

Noooooo. DH smells.

TurnipCake · 10/05/2011 20:25

I think it was just a control thing with him, atswimtwolengths. Defining his territory, I bet!

maypole1 · 10/05/2011 20:31

yes lol
