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?

    You know, my H is pretty much the only one I'm comfortable doing any of that business around. The first time he Dutch Ovened me, I knew it was meant to be.

    My FH has a habit of finding it "hilarious" to fart around me. I don't find it funny but it doesn't bother me or make me think of him differently. We're incredibly comfortable around each other and have been since the beginning. He was the first guy I was 100% comfortable with when it came to anything like this. You just either get used to it and become comfortable or you do what apparently Aurora does and just hold everything in until your body explodes from the inside out.

    Totally the same way. FH is much more open about it and I still jokingly swear to him that girls don't poop. I will pee with the door open or him in the room (we have a water closet in the bathroom) but nothing else. No way.

    FH turns on music and the fan and locks himself in the bathroom and then closes the door to the bathroom when he's done with the fan on.

    I was with my ex for five years. He never saw me put on deodorant and I never pooped with him home. My husband now, we have been living together a year and a half. We live in a one bed, one bath apartment. We don't poop if the other is home. We're weird.

    Basically when y'all get older like 80 yrs old and if you can't do anything especially go to the bathroom by yourself he is going to have to help you do some of the most embarrassing things.

    When we lived in a 1 bed/ 1 bathroom apartment this was difficult. We both spent 3 years trying to not let the other person know when we went. Now we live in a house with 4 bathrooms and it is way better. Even after 12 years together, if we are staying in a hotel and sharing a bathroom, I try to go before I shower so he doesn't notice. I will always feel weird about this.

    I would definitely get some poopurri. You drop it in the toilet before you go and it works awesome. I go first thing in the morning like clockwork and FH is already at work so we rarely run into that problem.

    Mask is another great product from Amazon that covers the smell! I poop with the door open.. I know it's gross but we just don't care.

    Matches in the bathroom are amazing. FH knows what I've been up to but it makes it NBD. I have a bow on top of the toilet and if it's a particularly bad one I light a match while still in there

    Poopurri work super well but apparently I have a sensitive behind because the scent particles released make me uncomfortable .... Hence my match comment earlier

    I don't know why I do this but every time I poop, I feel the need to announce that I did it to FH. In my head I'm like "oh man, he's probably wondering what I've been doing in here" so I'm like "I pooped!" when I walk out. For a long time I wouldn't poop if he was home, to be honest I still kind of avoid it but if he's there oh well.. it is what it is lol. I still have yet to this day to fart in front of him.. in two years!! That's one I need to get over

    Yea try that Poo-purie or honestly light a few matches. I know this sounds insane and untrue but I have the same issue where I am embarrassed and in the 12 years (6 living together) my FH can say that there is only a handful of times he thinks I may have gone to the bathroom.
