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 ?

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

I couldn't give a shit about peeing burping and farting in front of my partner

roarfeckingroarr · 19/12/2022 18:33

Wee yes poo no.

Judgyjudgy · 19/12/2022 18:35

Disgusting! Some things should be left private.

woodhill · 19/12/2022 18:35

We are fortunate having more than one toilet

Is his the issue with some posters only having one bathroom with loo in it?

I dated someone who left the bathroom door open so he could talk to me while he had a poop. The relationship was brief.

😂sharing is caring 😂

HellsBells87 · 19/12/2022 18:35

Only when I was unwell, he was in the shower and he couldn't get out quick enough. We've walked in on each other accidentally a few times. Otherwise no.

Lost123454 · 19/12/2022 18:36

Op, keep your disgusting fetish to yourself

Wizzelina · 19/12/2022 18:38

Absolutely not - we are lucky enough to have more than one bathroom! Can’t think of anything worse!

IsThePopeCatholic · 19/12/2022 18:44

No way.

Mary46 · 19/12/2022 18:49

Could think of nothing worse op. No we both private. Door closed.

TrufflesForBreakfast · 19/12/2022 18:51

We've been together for over 22 years and still absolutely NO WAY.

Try living with someone with bowel cancer and urine issues, peeing and pooping is discussed daily. Wiping my dp’s arse for him, looking at the colour of the poop etc. you pretty quickly get over the ‘ew that’s disgusting’ and just get comfortable sharing everything really

I am finding some of these comments ridiculous. This was my thought as well as my nan nursed my grandad with bowl issues. Sorry you're going through that

Greensleevevssnotnose · 19/12/2022 18:52

Err no gross

Theydoyaknow · 19/12/2022 18:11

We are animals actually. And I've never seen my cats have a conversation whilst shitting... My DC however

You do you Boo, sounds sexy as hell. Personally there would never be anything I needed badly enough in the bathroom that I would barge in on my husband having a shite. I's simply wait the few minutes until he was finished. Unless you have a shit fetish which is a whole other kettle of fish.

I don't do any barging. We just don't get all childish over a normally bodily function.

SnitterBug · 19/12/2022 18:54

Yes but in utter desperation if either of us in in the bath .

Whatever floats your boat.....

MrsTumblebee · 19/12/2022 18:55

No. Never.

bakewellbride · 19/12/2022 18:56

We wee in front of each other. I don't poo in front of dh but sometimes he leaves the door open and poos so I could see (but I obviously look away). Ideally I'd rather be closed the door but he does sometimes and that's good enough for me.

A bit annoying when I'm having a bath and he just comes in and poos but I let it go. No relationship is perfect.

That is completely different and you know it. A grown man without bowel cancer or any other medical issues is perfectly capable of wiping his own arse and dealing with having a poo on his own, independently. I used to change the nappy of my 16 year old when he was a baby- no big deal, doesnt mean I still do it now he is a teenager and perfectly capable of doing it himself. It also doesnt mean I dont expect him to close the door when he is having a poo now.

whoruntheworldgirls · 19/12/2022 18:59

Ew god no! And no way could i go to the toilet in front of my husband.

Tekkentime · 19/12/2022 19:00

Yes no problem with it, i'll even sit on his knee whilst he does the deed.😂

You see it's not me making it weird. Why would it 'float my boat'?

Oakbeam · 19/12/2022 19:13

Good God, no!

We had to switch hotels once because the wall between the bedroom and the bathroom was made of glass, and there were no blinds.

IToldYouAmillionTimesAlready · 19/12/2022 19:16

I've been married for 42 years, and although we've very comfortable with each other, neither of us would ever have a shit in front of the other. That's just disgusting.
