Do you share the bathroom with your S/O
 

we share the bathroom all the time..its no biggie for us..I get up and shower in the morning then wake him up, so he stumbles in to pee while Im starting to put my make up on...if he walks in with his eyes still closed I always say...."need me to hold it for ya?" Its nothing for us to walk in while the other one is peeing.

now #2 is different...thats our reading time so we dont share the bathroom then, but if the other person needs something (like you didnt realize you were out of toilet paper) the other will come in and hand it to them.

The way I see it....one day we'll be old and may have health issues that affect bodily functions that require the other person to take care of you....may as well get comfortable with it now!!

Yeah, we share the bathroom (just not during #2) whenever, there is no routine. But if either us is going pee its no big deal, but if it is #2 there is no way either of us will be in the room when the other is on the toliet.

we share the bathroom. Mainly cause I would have to get up earlier if we didn't. :)

No big deal.

I honestly cant remember the last time I closed the door to my bathroom. It's my house, y'all have to deal with it.

We live in a very small house with one bathroom.

There are four of us living in this small house... Me, my wife and two kids. Sharing is the only way to make it work.

The only time the door is closed is:

a) During #2
b) During bathtime... too damn cold with the door open...
c) When guests are over

Ditto. lurkette and I shower together most days, too.

Funny about "#2", isn't it? We all do it. It smells pretty much the same with each of us. Why does that have to be private?

I don't really have an answer to that question. All I know is, it does.

Well I know for us its because thats the only time we get to read so thats more "me" time than anything else

My wife and I share the bathroom all the time. I usually try to avoid being there when she goes #2, but sometimes circumstances do not permit that. She doesn't mind it when I go #2, though, except for the smell :)

Incidentally, sharing the bathroom with my wife is how I've gotten over my anxiety of using those public urinals. It used to be the case that I would just seize up if I tried to use one, but now I can let it go with ease, even if there's someone standing next to me.

I don't exactly like someone walking in on me when I'm peeing. I don't like it when nwlinkvd does it, or when my own mother or sister does it. I just think I need my privacy no matter what.

nwlinkvxd, on the otherhand, will poop while I'm in the shower. I don't really care about him doing it, either. He can pee while I'm washing my face or whatever, and it doesn't bother me. As long as he doesn't walk in on me.

When we first got married . . . no way . . . no sharing . . . but eventually . . . we thought 'who cares' . . .

Some of our funniest conversations are when he's peeing and im brushing my teeth :lol:

In the end, it's more about comfort with each other . . . it's no big deal ;)

interesting topic btw !

Sweetpea

Homey_V and I share the bathroom... Sometimes you just cant wait for them to finish brushing their teeth.
99% of the time we shower together too. It's faster and more fun! (Okay, so it's not always faster, but we try...)

Well, we have three bathrooms so there never really comes a time when we must share in that regard. Maybe because of this I'd feel little weird hanging out in there while she "went", but in a pinch I suppose it wouldn't be a problem. Never #2 though, there are must some things that need to be private.

Our single bathroom is fairly small, it really doesn't lend itself to sharing. If one of us is in the shower, the other will use it. Otherwise, there really isn't room. Neither of us are particularly modest.

My wife & I share the bathroom all the time, but #2 is definately reading/library time. No outsiders period. My wife also offers to "hold it" when we're sharing the bathroom, but there isn't any way in hell I could take a leak with somebody else holding it for me.

We have 2.5 bathrooms. The master has a door that separates sinks from toilet and tub. So, we don't have to share. We have never "gone to the bathroom" in the presence of the other. It definitely is some sort of strange privacy issue for both of us. She is an only child which makes a difference, I am sure.

Ditto here.

Martel and I share the bathroom- and we agree with the "poopy time is private time." It's a bit like farting and enjoying the release, just works better when no one else is around (except for that guy and the Scat post... i suppose he's unique that way)
He's so cute when he stumbles in the bathroom first thing in the morning to pee! :lol:

Exactly. What is the proper way to wipe one's ass with others present?

There isn't one.

It has to be private because you are having a personal moment; you are giving birth to a small brown baby and sending it off on its own. It is the creation of your own personal eighth wonder of the world, and no one should interrupt your special moment.

Plus it stinks more when it's someone else's.

Most of the time I don't stick around when he's going #2 (and same w/ him when I'm in there), but if i have to for whatever reason (the other bathroom is occupied and I need the mirror for make up or to wash my face. . whatever..) I make sure to spray enough lysol and turn the fan on and just try not to take deep breaths lol. 99% of the time it's not a problem w/ the lysol and the fan..

And if it's a spicy food poopy, I just poke fun at all the noises he makes.

We're very comfy with each other. . living together so long now.. it doesn't matter to me anymore.

No big deal for us to share the bathroom. If she needs something and I'm on the pot the pot, then I just hand it to her. It's second nature after almost 9 years of marriage.

Potty time is personal time (#1 or #2). It doesn't take that long, the other can wait. Showering together,brushing teeth together is fine (and usually enjoyable).

My ex would become upset that I didn't want to pee in front of her. I thought it was strange that she would almost insist on it. I started to think that she had a pee fetish.

I am a bit worried about some people saying that #2 is Library time!
You shouldn't have that much time (whilst defecating :p) to read anything significant - otherwise something might be wrong with you :eek:

I'm the oldest of four-had 1.5 bathrooms and always locked the door-still do. Neither of us has ever gone in there when it's already in use.

I sometimes sit on Loverboy's lap while he poops. That's how comfy I am about sharing the bathroom with him :lol:

I don't live with my boyfriend but I have used the bathroom with him in it in the past. He's never used it with me there, but he's been there on a few different occasions while I had to use it. It's no biggy for me, I'm quite comfortable with him being there.

I usually manage a good 2-3 chapters of whatever book Im reading during my "library" time. Dont know about anyone else...but that whole time isnt spent doing "potty" business....like some of us have said....its 15 minutes give or take of "ME" time....I know in my house the bathroom is the only place to go to get away from people :lol:

Exactly. I'm always in there way longer than I need to be, especially if I run into a good part of my book (heaven forbid...)

we share all the time, unless he's doing #2. Then he likes it a bit more private, and I close the door and turn on the fan.

Hubby and I share the bathroom all the time. Not a big deal.

Chalk me up in the library group as well. I sit there much longer than I need to. Although ever since I got my GBA for xmas, I've been stomping goombas and koopa paratroopas instead of reading most of the time.

When I first moved in with my SO he thought I was nuts when I just left the door open, but then he got used to it and he does it now!

our bathroom & toilet are separate so its no issue when the shower is in use as its a small bathroom you usually cant see in the mirror cos of the steam so the only thing you could do would be to brush your teeth which i have done no-one disturbs my shower cos they say my singing is woeful and their ears hurt

I walk in on her and she walks on on me - it's no problem at all. I think she was a little nervous about it at first, but we've been married for 1.5 years now and we now think nothing of it, even with #2's - they are often amusing as we poke fun at each others noises etc!
As for showering together - we get upset if the other proposes having a shower on their own... :)

it doesn'r really matter to me if my girlfriend is there when i go to the bathroom. it is just something that happens sometimes. if we get up at the same time and then get into the shower together, we both have to us the bathroom first.

My ex-husband would freak out if the door was open even a little when I peed and heaven forbid, pooped!! He was even upset if he walked by and I was flossing. REPRESSED!
Oh, I am so happy to be with my SO!! Now me and Precious share the bathroom all the time when he visits. I do like my private library time, but I wouldn't care if he had to come in...only one bathroom in my place. If I get in the shower, he usually joins me, with a quick stop for a #2 on the way. My only comment to that is, "It had better not be too stinky while I'm stuck in here with my hair full of shampoo!!"
Everyone has a comfort zone, but I think I like the potty sharing better than the alternative.

It's not about reading something significant all at once. It's cumulative.

I go once a day as I'm a pretty 'regular' guy. I imagine I spend about 10-15 minutes doing the dirty deed. That's about 70-105 minutes a week just pooping. Why spend that doing nothing other than grunting and counting the bathroom tiles?

I think because there simply isn't a graceful way to wipe your ass in front of someone. It's an endeavor best done in private. :)

Heh. I have no modesty issues, lol. My hubby's lucky if I close the door when there are other people over here. *grins* He used to be SERIOUSLY weird about me going in when he was in there at all, but for the most part he's gotten used to it. He doesn't like me in there when he wipes after he poops, and I respect that, but he's finally realized that if I need something in the bathroom, or we're having a conversation, I'm not going to wait until he's done. *grins* He laughs at me, and so do most of my friends... I don't always close the door to the stall in public places, especially if one of my friends is in the bathroom with me.

We share, no question. We make nothing of it.

Sometimes I'll even ask her to take a look at the huge crap I cut. And she doesn't mind coming in and being all oooh aaah pretending to give a...well, shit.

I can't imagine a relationship where I could not be this comfortable.

id like to share because i dont see the big deal but my woman always ushers me out saying she is almost done and i can wait.
