So I’ll warn you right now that this is waaaay TMI, but it’s something I’ve been feeling really anxious about lately, and I really wanted to get some idea of how other people deal with it. I hate pooping when FH is around! I know, I know, everybody poops. But some people (like FH) somehow manage to do their business while leaving the bathroom smelling as fresh as a warm spring day. I am not one of those people. No, I’m more of what you could call a “heavy hitter” in the stink department. Always have been. An open window or fan helps a little bit, but there’s really NO way to hide what happened in there. You just need to give it a solid 20-30 minutes to air out.
It was easy enough to avoid going in FH’s presence when we started dating, but after we got engaged and moved in together, I knew that gig was up. So the first time I saw him heading to the bathroom right after I blew it up, I warned him “um, you probably don’t want to go in there.” He just laughed and went right in anyways. And then immediately came running back out. He was like “wow, you weren’t kidding!” He wasn’t mean about it or anything (we were both kind of laughing), but I felt suuuuper awkward. Since then I’ve mostly tried to go when he’s not around, but I know that isn’t going to be sustainable forever.
Anyways, I thought it would be helpful to ask how y’all have dealt with this issue, especially for anyone else out there who’s a major stinker like me.
