Sharing a bathroom with SO

So I'll warn you in advance this is TMI, but I've been wondering about how other people deal with this. I hate pooping when DH is around! It's always embarrassed me but it's gotten worse lately because we're doing renovations and only one bathroom is functional. Everyone poops, I know, but I'm still...

So I'll warn you in advance this is TMI, but I've been wondering about how other people deal with this. I hate pooping when DH is around! It's always embarrassed me but it's gotten worse lately because we're doing renovations and only one bathroom is functional. Everyone poops, I know, but I'm still embarrassed by it, I think mostly because I tend to really stink it up when I go #2. DH isn't shy about it when he goes, but you can barely even tell he's used the bathroom. With me, on the other hand, there is NO way to hide what happened in there. For a long time I tried to avoid going when he was around, but recently gave up. Instead I just leave the fan on and keep the door shut for awhile after I finish to try and give him the message not to go in there. Once he didn't trust the warning and went in there, and immediately came running back out. How embarrassing, right?

So, I just thought I'd ask if anyone else is a big stinker like me, and if so, how you deal with it around your SO?

    Lolol try poopouri. FH and I don't have that problem. He sometimes sits on my lap while I poo and vice versa cause we're gross like that.

    The only thing I can tell you is do a courtesy spray before AND after. Highly recommend Frebeze Clean Linen.

    I'm at the point where I will poop with him in the room with me. The only thing I won't do is wipe when he's watching. I'm also a stinker, but not always. If it's a stinky one, I just warn him. It was so embarrassing the first time, but I got over it pretty quick.

    I can't even fart without getting super embarrassed about it. My bio dad used to poop with the door open so I'm still weirded out by it.

    @sarah eww... scarring LOL. I just don't do it in front of him because it's completely unfeminine to pass gas, it's unattractive to me.

    @chivy ok wow. Some things are better kept private. Tmi.

    DH and I always give each other privacy. A little mystery is fine with me.

    Now hold on a second, Aurora. Unfeminine?!? Because women don't have digestive tracts? Is that just a man thing? Are you for real?

    Yes I'm for real. Calm down with all the exclamations and question marks. You misunderstood my post. It's totally natural yes but I don't want to be "unfeminine" by farting in front of him..... pooping is different, there's no controlling that. that's what I'm referring to. It's not cute and I find it rude.

    Lolol glad I can't relate to this goal of always being "feminine" in front of FH. He loves me as is. Farts, shits, and all.

    Just buy Poopourri and spray that in the toilet before you go. I don't care how much I love someone, I don't want to smell their sh%# and I don't want them smelling mine!

    Not wanting to smell his ass juices or breathe in bacteria particles that came from his ass has nothing to do with wanting to be feminine. But seriously aurora your comment is fucking insane.

    I'm sorry, but it's insane to feel unfeminine by passing gas in front of a loved one? Ok, that's your opinion. You're quite dramatic.

    That's not gross and doesn't smell. What a weird comparison. So you openly fart in restaurants because it's natural? I imagine not, because it's bad etiquette and you're an adult. Some couples are fine passing gas in front of each other, I am not. Nothing to cause a fuss over.

    Try poo pouri. My FH tells me that girls don't toot or poo. He's in for a surprise in a few months.

    Eventually you just get used to each other. Or you don't. I don't know. I never thought I'd be able to fart in front of someone or take a shit and not feel embarrassed about it. But with FH, I changed and I actually love it. I hated feeling embarrassed and holding stuff in until I could get to a bathroom.

    It all started when I tickled him so bad he farted for the first time in front of me. Took me a few months to do it too but he doesn't care and I don't care. I think it can just take time Smiley smile I'm a big stinker too let me tell you lol. Air freshener is my best friend in there. Good luck girl!
