Husband's bathroom habits (light hearted)

I'm woken up every morning to my husband's noisy toilet habits. Like something off dumb and dumber. Anyone else subjected to this daily? Makes me feel ill.

That is grim! Do you have a downstairs toilet he could use?

I suspect the only thing you can do is make it into a joke...it might help you feel brighter if you feel able to talk about it and keeping it light helps in many situations. An ex of mine always used to say that disgust is learned and on the whole he is right, we have associations with things...he would say to me 'if I took a brand new toilet and filled it with tea would you from drink it' he was saying it was the association, not the reality, that I struggled with. So if you maybe start with the 'uh-oh its parpy pants time again, let me get my headphones' type comments you might see it for all it is in reality, an off-gassing of last nights dinner and his gut bacteria feasting and maybe make it easier to deal with?

My DP has a food intolerance. But loves it. So eats it anyway. I suspect he has IBS, actually. When I use the toilet in the night I normally turn the small light on to keep noise down. When he uses it, I encourage him to turn the light with the fan on - the noise drowns out the pooping. Get him to get some Bluetooth speakers in the bathroom and pop on Rise of the Valkyries. I find its easier to sleep through constant noise than then loud on off noises (such as banging, or in this case SPLOSH....SPLOSH).

My DP is as regular as clockwork in this department which (while it annoys the hell out of my permanently constipated self) I deal with...however he is a drummer to trade so uses the time to practice whatever tune is stuck in his head...feet tapping, thigh slapping, it's like name that tune Smile
