Sharing a bathroom with SO

Psh idgaf anymore lol. We share one too. If I have to go and he's in there, i am going lol. I was shy at first but idc anymore lol

The last time I went to the bathroom with the door closed, was a couple months ago when we had friends staying with us. Outside of that, we never shut the door to the bathroom. Is this super normal? Probably not, haha. No shame in this house!

I think it's really weird that some of you don't poop when the other person is in the house- that's really bizarre.

Being said- whatever works for you.

My husband is EXTREMELY private- he HATES sharing bodily function details- but seems to not care at all about mine. I fart in my sleep- so guess what- there is no getting around that shit. He calls me his gassy girl.

I'm relaxed and asleep- not anything I can do about it.

We use MASK (amazon) which has more fun oils than poo-purri- Moroccan rose is fantastic.

it's about the same price.

We don't go when in the shower- but peeing is acceptable. We have long distance weird bass ackward schedule so he doesn't have to deal with me as often- but sometimes he has to go right when he wakes up #akwardAF since I'm trying to do my make up.

Whatever- you just gotta work it out- otherwise it's really awkward trying to explain why you left at 3 PM to go "get milk" every day.

Courtesy flush, spray and use a vent fan if you have one then just get over it....lol which will come with time. time to get comfortable you cant avoid pooping for the rest of your life, or vomiting. and you cant control having the flu, your husband will still love you even when its coming out both ends....

I'm pretty comfortable around my FH but I'm just like you, mine stink bad and his, you can't even tell. I usually go into the bathroom and LOCK the door so he can't come barging in.

Air freshener or lighting a candle may help.

Oh girl, you'll have to get over that real quick... especially if you plan to have kids. You shouldn't feel embarrassed by it- it's a normal body function. I can't tell you how many times FH has walked in on me or seen me at a vulnerable state. We actually joke about it all the time, you have to get comfortable with the idea of those bodily functions happening around him.

Yeah, that ship sailed a long time ago for us. Neither of us DGAF anymore. It is what it is.

That poo-pourri stuff works good though.

Girl you dont need counseling for this.... but I felt the same way for a longggggg time. I still hate farting around him and we've been together for 6 years. Now that we live together we spoke about it and how I feel so now when I say " I need privacy" he knows what it means... Also for the smell you can use stuff around the house also like pinsol, etc

LMAO. When FH and I started dating, he would hold in his farts and poops until we weren't together anymore. One day, a couple of weeks in, he said "I can't do it anymore". I looked at him and thought, "shit, he's breaking up with me!", to which he continued, "I can't hold my farts in anymore!". Call me immature or juvenile, I think farts are fucking hilarious, like, I laugh uncontrollably at a good fart. I fart ON my FH, and most of the times my farts stink worse than his. The smellier my fart, the harder I laugh. Sometimes he chuckles, other times he grabs a can of air spray. I poop when he's in the shower, he poops when I'm in the shower, we just have no shame in our game. We did just move into a new place that has two bathrooms though, which has been really nice for peaceful and private pooping. LOL. I'm with @StPaulGal way back at the beginning of the thread. Idk why people make such a big stink (pun intended BAHAHHA) about bodily functions. They are just like opinions, everyone has them. LOL.

Hahahah this is a great post!!! You gotta do what you gotta do!!!

I think the embarrassment is something that just goes away over time, honestly. I have extreme bowel problems, so I have little to no control over when, where, or how I go #2. Earlier on, I felt humiliated every time I got sick around him. Now he's one of the only people who I feel 100% comfortable around when it comes to my intestinal issues. I honestly think this is just one of those things that you'll both get comfortable with over time!

Also, I discovered Poopouri and it's pretty effective. PooPouri and a candle could do the trick for you!

...And separate bathrooms are something to consider. FH and I have, and always will have, more bathrooms than people in the home because I'm obsessed with bathrooms lol. Perhaps you could invest in extra bathrooms and avoid this altogether

Honestly I think you have to just get over it! It doesn't seem like he's trying to make you feel embarrassed (and he shouldn't), so that's all you in your head. Everyone poops, everybody smells sometimes (BO, farts, whatever) and that's just a fact of life.

If it's really that big of a deal to you I would invest in air fresheners and that spray stuff you put in the toilet before you go. But, from a personal growth standpoint, I encourage you to try and find a way to feel more comfortable around FH and not be bothered by this. Kind of a rough life to commit yourself to if you're always going to be embarrassed around your husband.

Poopouri is a life saver.

Is anyone going to break it to Hope and Aurora that they fart in their sleep?

Just use poo purri or one of the other sprays mentioned.

@Elphaba....good to know I'm not the only one like that. I get pee anxiety if FH is standing outside the door lol

I'm not gonna lie, fh and I even crap when the other one is still in the bathroom. Thank goodness for fabreez and vent fan.

If your embarrassed about pooping you will be mortified after he sees you give birth.

Poopourri! It actually works quite well!

We don't have any though, so we just use matches. It's not that big of a deal. Go to bathroom, close door, poop, light/blow out matches. After living with FH for over a year I'm over it.

I think it's a matter of being comfortable around each other, and that day comes sooner than you'd expect.

Hubby now likes to chat with me when he goes #2. If the smell really gets me, I complain and walk away, and he understands. No big deal.

I really don't get it. My fiancé pooped for a long time on our first date. Then we live together and he does shut the door when he poops, but we only have one bathroom and sometimes I need it when he's in there. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. You share all kinds of bodily functions. Pooping is healthy and natural. Don't be ashamed. Everybody poops
