Julie in CA Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) Just wondering..:leaving: I have steadfastly refused for over 20 years. My dh has teased me about being way too uptight about the issue. We watched the movie "Killers" this weekend, and it came up in the movie. The dh is waiting in the bathroom with his wife for her to take a pregnancy test. She can't "produce" while he's there watching, and he refers to the fact that she's done this like a hundred times before, what's her problem now? Made me wonder if I was being overly-modest!

Joker Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 :lol: I voted yes. When I was pregnant with older dd I spent a lot of time in the hospital. I had to use a bedpan (because I refused to spend that whole time with a catheter) and I could only use it alone or with dh. The nurses thought it was funny and cute. I definitely have no problem using the bathroom in front of dh now.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganicAnn Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 No. (I suppose we might if there was a medical emergency is involved. So far we have not face a medical emergency. My DH did have to help me into the bathroom when my back went out, but left quickly once I was safety seated). We don't have the same schedule so we aren't competing for the bathroom in the morning. I'm sure that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeaganS Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yup for both, but I occasionally make him leave for number 2. Neither of us have any problem with it.

Amber in SJ Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 no, no, no way. Those are the only moments of privacy. We have been married for 20+ years and I still would not be comfortable. Yes, he has seen me through severe morning sickness for 4 pregnancies and has seen me give birth and I still can't pee in front of the man. Go figure.

dangermom Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yes, but it's not my preference. But if the bathroom door is open, it makes a little niche so it's not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I can pee in front of cats, dogs, kids, grandkids, hubby, and any medical practitioners of any kind and well, pretty much anyone who works at a hospital in any capacity. I prefer to keep everything else kind of private. Luckily, we have a small stall in the master bath and I can close and lock the door. That does not prevent people from trying to have a conversation through the locked door though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truscifi Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I voted yes, though I do close the door for #2. Of course, ds takes this as a sign he should lay on the floor by the door and talk to me while wiggling his fingers through the crack at the bottom of the door. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have been with this man for 23 years and to keep the :blushing: the intimate things more passionate.

Alphabetika Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 How funny. Just this morning I needed to use the bathroom while dh was in the shower, so I said, "Close your eyes." Then I joked, "You've seen me give birth to a baby but I don't want you watching me pee." He said, "I've seen you give birth to THREE babies."

Mom in High Heels Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 No, no, NO! I'd like to say never, but he walked in on me once or twice,only to have me shriek at him to get out.

eternalknot Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have no shame. I wipe all functions in front of anyone who chooses to be in the bathroom at the same time I'm in there! Sometimes it's DH, sometimes it's a sister or mom, sometimes my friends, almost always my kids ::sigh:: but yeah. No biggie for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Nope. I'm sure the bathroom door has been left open a time or two in Labor & Delivery rooms, but that's about it. After my surgery 2 years ago, I got so sick (vomiting and diarrhea) that they brought a potty seat next to my bed so I wouldn't have to walk all the way to the bathroom. I asked dh to go to work and leave me alone. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
