Do you use the bathroom with the door opened or closed when it is just you and your SO home? Why?
I am excluding outside factor such as children, parents, friends or other relatives.
If it was just you and just your SO home, would you still close the bathroom door to do your business?
In my household, we have zero privacy. My SO and I do everything "within full view" of one another. There is nothing we do privately behind closed doors.
I'm a bathroom door closer :)
I mean, maybe if he's downstairs and I'm upstairs, I'd leave it open, but I like my privacy!
I close the door because that's just more polite. To me, it has more to do with being respectful of those around me than it has o do with keeping privacy for myself.
I always keep the door closed if FH is home. We've known each other and been together a long time, but we don't feel like sharing everything. He's only walked in on me one time and that was because the bathroom door in my apartment was weird and my dog could push it open.
Doors usually pretty wide open when we pee...We got kind of lazy with that. Haha
Only for #2 for me. I keep it open for #1. MY DH closes it for everything.
If I don't actually close the door all the way it will swing open. Therefore I usually just half close it and it opens up. Now #2 I close it for. And the bathroom I use is in our bedroom.
Closed for using the toilet. Open for brushing teeth, applying makeup, shaving, showering, etc.
I meant to push "other", b/c I'm very private. I shut the door, always! FI, on the other hand, will come and and pee while I'm doing my hair or makeup. Our dog, however, likes to open the door and creepily watch me do my business
I always close the door. Unfortunately, my 3 year old usually opens it! And, yes, it embarasses me lol.
Yes, door is always closed. I don't know what some of you ladies are talking about though, girls don't poop.
@hardtoconcentrate: This. We draw the line at poo, although we've both gone while the other is in the shower.
For number ones, no. Door is wide open.
For number twos, I usually close the door.
We close the door for #2, and that's about it.
I picked "other".
I always kept the door closed for using the toilet when I was younger. One of my now adult children is severely disabled (nonverbal autism, intellectually disabled, bipolar). I learned to have the door open at all times because he would open it anyway, and I needed to hear what he was doing at all times (if he was quiet, it could mean trouble.) . After he went to live in a group home, I started trying to break myself of that habit and closing the door again (and my daughter would request it when she lived with us.)
Generally I don't come into the bathroom if my husband is he using it unless I ask first ask and he then OKs it (and he does the same with me). The cats however (we have 3) never ask.
It's not attractive seeing my partner use the restroom, and I know it's not attractive for him to see ME. I want there to still be some mystery! However I will pee in front of him if he won't leave the bathroom and I really have to go pee haha.
He thinks it's fine to pee in front of me. I look away. I like some mystery. I shoo him out of the bathroom when I need to do my business.
Once I got pregnant, forget it. I have to pee too often sometimes to bother closing the door.
Sorry, but ew. Yes, if I'm going to the bathroom, I close the door. As comfortable as we are around eachother, there are just some things I don't want to see him do or vice versa. This is one of them.
Not most of the time. Usually the door is open at least a crack. DH's family only had 1 washroom and 8 people so they often used the washroom with other people in there. Number 1 and the door is probably open, number 2 and it's mostly closed and the fan is on. Shark week and I like to have the door mostly closed so he doesn't see anything he doesn't want to.
We both always close the door when we are eliminating.
I'm a firm believer in not becoming compalcent, and keeping a touch of the "feminine mystique". He doesn't need to know when I poop or when I have a yeast infection, nor do I keep my tampons in plain sight (though they're right there, under the counter, but I don't think he ever goes in there unless he's looking for a bandaid). I don't find anything sexy about using the toilet, and that's a part of his life I don't need or want to see. Hell, after 3 years, he still doesn't burp or blatantly fart around me.
We didn't do those things when we dated, because we were trying to impress each other. I expect we will never stop trying to impress each other. Hell, he even closes the door when he goes into the bathroom to clip his toenails.
Almost always open...I think it's a laziness thing, too :). Or sometimes we are in the middle of a conversation and I have to pee BAD!!!! #2 I don't always close the door, but I don't want him in the either! And as @ScottishMrs just said...It's ALWAYS closed during shark week!
@SeaSalt: Hell, after 3 years, he still doesn't burp or blatantly fart around me.
Hahaha. This makes me laugh. SO and I burp and fart on each other all the time. It's a little game to us.
@beedee12: Even during shark week... never closed for us! He once complained that I 'dripped on the floor' after getting out of the shower and threw a wad of tissue on it. Silly boy.
I always close the door. Sometimes the hubs will not completely shut it but even that annoys me because it sounds like he's peeing in the same room as me and it grosses me out.
@SeaSalt: +1 to everything you said. That's how my husband and I are too.
@MrsBlueSeptember: About a month ago, my doctor ordered a stool sample for me, and when he asked about the appointment, I simply told him they ordered "cultures". It took me about a week and a half before I gave them one, simply because there was no way in hell I was going to go in the bathroom and play with my poop while he was in the next room.lol
I also close the door even when I'm home alone. It's not like we're hiding necessarily, but I don't really want to share EVERYTHING :)
I usually do for #1, as far as FI is concerned, I don't do #2's lol. It's become a joke now that I was born without a butt hole.
Yeah I close the door for #2 also, and when I have my period because FI has no interest in seeing me changing tampons etc.
well... our bathroom doesnt HAVE a door...
i dont care about it, but when DH is doing #2 he asks me to leave the bedroom, lol.
