Does your dp go for a poo in front of you

Help to settle a very light hearted discussion please. I've watched everything on Netflix and am this bored!

Been with dh for 5 years and we don't poo in front of each other. We were discussing ex relationships ( don't ask me how ) but the topic came up that my ex partner used to go for a poo in front of me ( never bothered me).

DH said it's weird and that he doesn't imagine many couples do this , I disagree and think it's probably quite common.

So do you/ your partner or has an ex ever done this ?

Nope never have never will why would you?

I'm fine with it. We'll often talk to each other while one of us is on the toilet - normally him.

Why can’t you wait till he’s out?

The thought of sitting on the edge of the bath chatting away whilst my husband is grunting away, listening to his shit hit the water, plus all of the smells that go with it, is enough to give me the vapours.
I would never, ever poo in front of my husband.

Only once when we were hiking and he had to dig a hole and have an emergency poo whilst I kept look out. Other than that I cannot imagine another scenario where it would be necessary, so no, ew.

HereIfYouNeedMe · 19/12/2022 17:07

@GNR2022 hahaa

No OP, we don't do it in front of each other

FirstTimeMaybes · 19/12/2022 17:08

No.

Happily wee. And fart. Or even sort period stuff. But never poo in front of each other. And pooing is always a door shut situation.

Of course in an emergency (which thankfully so far we've not had in 20 years together) then we would. But that would be the only situation.

ArmyofMunn · 19/12/2022 17:08

OMG!! Never ever...

Igglepiggleslittletoe · 19/12/2022 17:09

Absolutely not. Some things need to be kept to oneself.

avocadotofu · 19/12/2022 17:09

Goodness me no! I'd hate that!!

No, it's gross. DH will even take his poos downstairs instead of the en suite if I'm in the bedroom (and we have a big en suite with windows not a tiny cupboard one as hated by mumsnet) at my request, I don't want to hear the man I have sex with grunting and plopping his guts out. Similar to farts, I might be a bit precious but I'd prefer to keep a bit of mystery and sexiness to our relationship so don't want to smell my DH's guts, he respectfully does them elsewhere m

I love that this suggests that only your DH poos and your waste just condenses into flower scented mist. I jest - and of course men are just smellier.

the thought of pooing in the same room as anyone is just grim! Bad enough hearing my ex going to the loo and chancing upon the whiff afterwards 🤮

HeatwaveToNightshade · 19/12/2022 17:10

Bloody hell, no! I remember when I was a child, my friend called me into the bathroom and I had no idea she was doing a poo. I was appalled, but felt unsure of my reaction because I didn't know if maybe pooing in front of people was normal in other families.

ChristmasCaroline · 19/12/2022 17:10

Eek! No!

i think I have only peed once in front of him on 20years, and I was really I’ll at the time and he had to help me on the loo.

sometimes he leaves the door open when he’s peeing. I usually shout “I don’t want to see your peeing arse” and shut the door over

girlmom21 · 19/12/2022 17:10

@GNR2022 oh we don't sit there while someone's bathing or whatever. We have multiple toilets. But sometimes he'll call me to ask or show me something or I'll be on the toilet and he'll come and say he's going out or whatever. It's no big deal.

strictlygoingtomissstrictly · 19/12/2022 17:10

Disgusting. Totally disrespectful in my eyes!

DisforDarkChocolate · 19/12/2022 17:10

Feck no, that would see me heading to the solicitors about divorce.

If his arse is peeing id book him a doctors appointment

Startuplife · 19/12/2022 17:10

Absolutely not. DP is a huge prude and in 5 years I’ve never even heard him fart! For the first couple of years we lived in quite a small flat and if he went to the toilet he’d run the shower so I didn’t hear anything 😂

Dillydollydingdong · 19/12/2022 17:11

Where's the mystery? Where's the romance? Eeugh! No!

MyBooksAndMyCats · 19/12/2022 17:11

Me and my partner have been through loads over the years 😂 but this is just grim!

Bepis · 19/12/2022 17:11

@girlmom21 peeing arse 😂😂😂😂

Hugasauras · 19/12/2022 17:11

Peeing is fine but pooing is def a private endeavour.

Ladywiddio48 · 19/12/2022 17:11

Absolutely not! Something wrong with people that think this is acceptable.

girlmom21 · 19/12/2022 17:12

Dillydollydingdong · 19/12/2022 17:11

Where's the mystery? Where's the romance? Eeugh! No!

Is there any mystery and romance in not seeing your partner have a poo?

Mines seen me giving birth twice so I don't think there's much mystery left 🤣

strictlygoingtomissstrictly · 19/12/2022 17:12

We don't fart, burp, pee or poo in front of each other.
