Yeah, this is just one of those things that people have different boundaries about. I won't go into the bathroom if my fiancee is having a poop; and generally she respects my desire to poop in private, although since we only have one bathroom, if I take too long when she needs to pee, sometimes she'll just barge in and pee in the shower.
Peeing, by the way, I have no problem with. She and I cruise in and out of the bathroom when the other is at pee, generally don't even close the door.
I think the only thing that will ease the situation is clear communication about what your boundary needs are. Nobody says that have to be consistent, or rational. Just communicated well.
