Too embarassed to ring rl friends up with my realisation but wanted to share this silly thing with someone.
Overtime with h and then once we had children the bathroom door was never closed as someone would always walk in and so it seemed pointless or it would be half closed to give me some privacy though the kids would normally be trying to sit on my knee.
Since h and I are seperating I've started to shut the door and he's not been barging in. I haven't really thought about it but this morning I realised I haven't seen the back of that door properly for a very long time and theres even my thing for hanging things on that I pain stakingly restored.
Of course....I knew it was there and have cleaned it ( as trying to convince people I clean)...but the door and my hangy thing had merged into the background iyswim.
My bathroom isn't as small as I thought either.
I have my space back and privacy and its weird as I never knew they had gone....but it feels wonderful.
Ds2 4yrs did come in but he knockedthis morning asked for a cuddle and then went downstairs and shut the door behind him.
I painted the door too last year and I did a good job if I do say so myself.
