But I was just wondering how many of you and your SO's are that close to where you guys can go to the bathroom while the other one is in there too. Or to go potty with the door open..etc etc.
Out of the blue I asked my SO if he felt that comfortable around me to do that and his response was "no way!" I don't really see the big deal in it and all, but I guess may be some people are weirded out by that?
LOL it took awhile for us to be comfortable with this, but now that we live together and share a bathroom...when you gotta go you gotta go! Well pee at least...beyond that...NO. haha :-)
Yup, that's fairly standard in our house :) I'll brush my teeth/shower while he's peeing, and vice versa. Door open, door closed, doesn't matter.
#2...that's a different story! Behind closed doors only, lol.
LOL...well we have been together for 4 years now. I am not sure if I feel a little sad that he doesn't feel that comfortable enough with me yet.
We've been doing it for years.
I am actually in the opposite boat from your FI, I have an irrational distrust of people who are weirded out about bodily functions. Like people who can't have a movement anywhere but home. Or if I guy I'm dating can't pee in front of me. I know it is just a preference, not a character flaw, but it is a strange turn off for me.
Yes, I'd say its all in each persons comfort zone....I wouldn't do it and my FI probably wouldnt either...but he doesnt have any problem passing gas around me! : )
@Wendy...my FI is that close with me...lol...but I like my privacy when I am doing "certain things" in the bathroom. He will just come right in and start talking until he notices the look on my face. I told him that I would hate to have to start locking doors in order to get some privacy...
I agree with u on that too. I don't understand why he is like that either cuz he went to medical school and have seen things waaaaay worse than that! I would think he would be use to that idea and understand that when you have to "pee or poo" it's all normal
We do! We always go to the bathroom when the other one is present, not a big deal for us at all. Plus, we are starting to potty train my son, so going to the bathroom lately has been a whole family thing!
Totally comfortable....although I prefer not to be in there when he is peeing. I think boy pee smells weird. : )
Peeing..yes, totally...not a big deal at all.....more than that, no....
@sarahsd: HAHA i really laughed out loud when I read your boy pee smells funny comment :-)
well we have been together for 8 years now so this is so normal for us... #1 is not an issue for us... but #2 we keep it to ourself lol... but it took maybe 9 months before we were comfortable being both int he bathroom while one was doing ... u know what!! 
We have a bathroom, with a separate toilet area. So that you can go potty, and shut the door without locking the other person out ofhe bathroom. So that helps. My husband will leave the door open if he's going pee. Fine I don't care. But I don't ever leave the door open. And I don't think he cares to see me go the the bathroom really. I think the mystery is wonderful for our relationship. LOL!
We have been together just over 9 years. He doesn't care, but I do. I just think that some things should stay private.
oh girl i was so myself early in the relationship with my so.initially he didnt want me in there but i just kept going in and i started sitting in the loo while he was going and he just got comfortable with it.we are so comfortable we call each other to look and gage if we need extra fiber.lol gross but we're just that close.
LOL Bird
Reminds of something a long time ago, but I dont want to say it in fear that you girls might think im disgusting or something 
LOL, this is a hilarious thread, thanks for starting is wendy!
My feeling is probably also colored by the fact that the first time I left the country was on an optional school trip to the UK and Ireland. This one girl went 11 DAYS without going number 2. Because she wasn't used to travel AND didn't have movement anywhere but her own bathroom at home. She was really annoying.
For me, though, the stories I could tell about places I've gone number 2....I'll give you all this image: public train, India, 14 hour trip, going 45 miles an hour, hole in the floor.
@Mr.Bee: LOLOLOLOL Yes, according to FI, neither do I
We will pee with the door open but announce it so neither of us walks by. #2 is strictly door closed!
I just read this to FI, and both of our reaction's were NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!! My BFF and I were in a crazy situation and had to pee in front of each other and I had to make her stand in a corner with her eyes closed and sing really loud!!
LOL MONITAJB
I dont really know where you're going with that...but Im sure it's a tale in itself
lol this is funny....I will pee in front of him but not #2 and he won't do anything in front of me and when I asked why he said he feels it's disrespecting me
OKAY, SO FOR YOU LADIES THAT ARE SAYING THAT YOU WOULD NEVER GO NUMBER 2 IN FRONT OF HIM....
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK AND YOU START THROWING UP WHILE HE IS HOLDING YOUR HAIR BACK?
ISN'T THAT JUST AS EQUALLY "GROSS"?
Going pee is definetly no problem but poo definetly closed doors there.
Um...throwing up isn't really something you can control. You can hold your pee until the bathroom is free.
oh girl i was so myself in the beginning with my SO although a lil standofish.he was uncomfortable and would just push me out the door.i never paid him anymind i just kept going back in and talk to him while he was doing whatever be it 1 or 2.he finally came around.now we call each other to gage if we need extra fiber.gross i kn but we're just that close
@Wendy: to me, there's definitely a difference between #2 and throwing up due to drinking. I mean, first of all, throwing up while drinking--you're generally not really in control of yourself, and can't really help what you're doing. Second of all, if I am somewhat in control of myself but still throwing up anyway, I don't let him in the bathroom with me then either. Plus, poop is just yuckier than vomit.
We don't live together, but I can do #1 in front of him, but not #2. He can do #2 in front of me, quite often I come in and talk to him. LOL No #1 in front of me though.
I can honestly say no, we have 2 bathrooms, so there's never been a need for someone to use the bathroom that urgently- when there's another perfectly good one. I think I wouldn't like to get that comfortable, personally. No judgements on anyone else.
going pee is fine with me but i think its disgusting to go poo with the door open or with someone else in there with you!! I mean really why would anybody want to be in the bathroom with you while your going number 2???
We don't live together, so this isn't an issue yet. But when we do become an old married couple, I am strongly in favor of the "mystery is good for a relationship" camp!
going #1 is fine, after 3 years and now living together, it kinda just happens.
#2 -- NO WAY for either of us!
We ARE that comfortable around each other. There are no secrets in this relationship
We will do pretty much anything in front of the other
our apartments not that big, so all secrets went out the door within months of moving in together since our bathroom is in the bedroom. lol. So yeah, the door is open all the time, and we go to the bathroom with each other in there or when the other is in the shower and what not. Doesn't really bug me.
ETA: @Sarahsd-I think it does, too! I'm glad I'm not the only one! lol.
