Your in each others face enough as it is especially after 5 10 or 20yrs together and then you go and sleep in the same bed all night, maybe for the rest of your life.
What you need to stand side by side and do your stuff in the bathroom together too.
Nooooo thanks.
I so agree. The mysterious nature of bathroom doings should, in my opinion, be kept mysterious.

Brushing your teeth is a whole different ballgame than watching someone relieve themselves. Not sure why all bathroom activities seem to be lumped together as a package deal by some people.
I don’t personally mind either way, but I wouldn’t walk in on anyone who has a door closed and I would say the same to anyone else if I had the door closed by myself. If the door is closed it’s for a reason.

How comfortable are you with sharing your time in the bathroom with your SO? Where do you draw the line?
I’m perfectly fine with it. Doesn’t bother me. Granted we mostly close the door but we have accidentally walked in on each other. But neither of us freaked out. You just close the door and go on. I normally go to bed earlier than my wife but if we’re going out to dinner we tend to use the same bathroom. I may be showering while she’s brushing her teeth, make up etc. or vice versa.

Our last two bathrooms were so small that there was no way we could share a bathroom. Now we have one with a double vanity, so we can brush our teeth at the same time. However, we've been together 29 years and we've never seen either one do our business. Gross.

I'd be open to it, sort of, although as it is now we have two bathrooms and we tend to have a his and hers approach to it.

I think overall people should try and make an attempt to have some "privacy" regarding these matters. Don't need to know how the sausage is made and all.

We have a spare bathroom, but we rarely use it. it's about the size of a broom closet. I have to **** my knees to the side to sit on the toilet. As far as being shy around others, the worst experience I had was at a college football game. It was halftime and the lines to use the urinals were at least 10 deep. It took major concentration to get things started. Not a lot of fun!

Put me in the I don't care category.

NO! Bathroom is private time to me, regardless of what is going on, not so much with my wife. She will sometimes leave the door open when she is in the hall bath, I'll walk past, glance in, see she is in there and close the door. She asks why I do that, I tell her to give her her privacy, she says she doesn't care.

Wife and 13-year-old step daughter will just freely walk in-and-out when the other one is in there, on the toilet, showering, or whatever else. I just think this is bizarre, but that is their thing. I just make it clear to them that I want no part of it and I expect the same from them. What they do between themselves is up to them.
