My partner locks the bathroom door. Always.
Now, I completely understand this if other people are in the house, but even when it's just the two of us he has the lock on, whether showering, bathing or using the toilet.
I find this a bit weird, but fine, whatever. He tells me he doesn't know why he does it, but always has. Says he even does it when he's in on his own.
I know this is true because three times in the last few years he's ended up locked in various toilets 😅 Once in our house, when handle broke and I came home to him trying to remove it from the inside using nail files, scissors and a toothbrush, once after staying at a mates house (thankfully had his phone on him this time as his mate had left for work and hadn't told him the lock was broken) and once, most embarrassingly, at a hotel on a work trip.
Does anyone else's partner do this? And if so why?
To get a few obvious things out of the way...
- He's not texting another woman in there - there's no wifi or mobile signal in our downstairs loo so he rarely, if ever, takes his phone with him.
- He's not watching porn/wanking - He's quite welcome to do that in much more comfortable places than the bathroom and as above, no internet.
He unfortunately suffers from Crohn's, which means he can be in the bathroom a lot and it isn't exactly a pleasant experience. He says he doesn't think the two things are related, but I guess if that's a habit he's gotten into over the years, that could be it?
This is super light-hearted obviously, but I'm curious if anyone has experienced similar!
