I'm really surprised by the number of people who say that they are comfortable with their SO using the toilet when they are in same room. You really do learn something new every day.
Oh lord. I remember when my younger son was little, one time, I was trying to use the bathroom in peace (lol right) and I hear, outside the door, a little voice singing, "boop boop boop...poop poop poop...Mom go poop..." My kid was improvising a poop song to help inspire me.
HAHAHA!
My grandson would stand outside the door "What are you doing in there? Are you pooping? Are you doing ok?" These poor kids just learning think we all need encouragement and checking up on! Bwahahaha

I'm ok with him having to pee if I'm in there. He has sense enough to use the other bathroom or shoo me out if something real is about to happen!

Has 0 impact on me, literally none. We’ve been together since high school and seen/experienced everything with each other.
In a couple of our homes, I installed two sets of showerheads and controls, inside the shower. So that each of us could set our own individual water temperatures. But for our retirement home, she did not want twin showers any more. We used to take showers together a lot, not much though this past 20 years.
We both leave the bathroom door open. My Dw will commonly use the toilet when I am showering. But otherwise we use the bathroom separately.
Our Grange hall was built in the 1870s. They installed indoor plumbing in the 1950s. Previous to that the members used an outhouse that adjoins to the backside of the building. The outhouse is still there, though it is currently used for storage.
I have been in there trying to organize the stuff, and the outhouse seating has three holes. There are three holes, side-by-side, each with a seat and a lid. And there is one TP hanger. It is a unisex toilet.
So during Grange functions when people needed to use it, they could do so three at a time, side-by-side. And when you needed TP, you might have to ask the person next to you, to hand you some.
Was raised in a house....one bath. One sink. 7 ppl total.
Hard to have modesty in that scenario.
Come marriage life and hubs and I had a sense of respect in our bathroom time.
Brushing teeth...washing face or shaving didn't apply.
Good gravy it's hygiene care.
To this day I absolutely will not "talk" on the other side of the door when someone is expelling so to speak.
Double sinks....who cares? Other then a family of 7 ..where folks are huddled to get freshened up before school or some event...
I was raised in a family of 7 as well. With one bathroom. When we were young enough, usually us 3 girls took a bath together in the evening, and then my 2 brothers took baths together. My mom didn't have any issue with it, if for someone reason one of us got a wild hair, and wanted to take a bath in the middle of the day. But that didn't happen very often.
Yeah, and years ago plenty of houses from the post war era only had one bath and some people had lots of children. Things have changed. I’m just happy we don’t have to use a chamber pot or an outhouse.
Speaking of, a neighbor has an old home that still has its outhouse — with four side by side holes!
A very good friend of ours [Jesse] invited us over for Thanksgiving with her family. Before we went, we knew that she lives off-grid. When we got there, she had baked the turkey [and all the sides] in a wood-fired stove. All the water is hauled into the house in buckets from the nearby river [the house overlooks a river]. Up on one wall hangs their washtub, that the entire family uses for weekly bathing. All water is heated on the stove and they take turns bathing. Jesse is raising three daughters and her husband is the town Fire Cheif. They use an outhouse. All this winter, while the river is iced over, she goes out on the ice, to chop a hole so she can fill buckets so her family can have water.
Their eldest daughter is a junior in highschool.
They all seem to truly love that lifestyle.
