Nwr: Sharing a bathroom with so

View Quoted Comment

I totally think I'd be less self-conscious if FH was closer to me in terms of stinkiness. I mean, the guy is supposed to be the stinky one and the girl is supposed to poop fairy dust, right? But we're soooo opposite, it's ridiculous.

You will out grow it. My FH and I have lived together for a year and a half and I just turn on the vent and spray some air freshener then shut the door. If I notice him going that way I give him a heads up but all in all it's not something you and just turn on and off.

VIPoo is excellent for this.

Try Poopuri, they sell it at bed bath and beyond and on amazon. You spray it in the toilet before you go and it’s supposed to lock in the stink. But I think you eventually get over the embarrassment, he loves you regardless.

Me and fh are both heavy hitters lol so we both stink it up! my prob is shy bladder lol. try the poo spray or check pinterest for the diy versions

I LOLed at "olfactory sense of steel," sounds like your FH is a perfect match! I'd probably be totally comfortable going in front of him if not for the smell, too. I'm not generally uptight about bodily functions, but I just feel bad about subjecting him to that level of grossness.

Oh my gosh I should NOT have read this while I'm at work, ha! This is hilarious and I say that because I'm not a heavy hitter but my husband is. He always warns me ahead of time but sometimes you just gotta go when there is only one bathroom in the house. You gotta suck it up and go to the bathroom.

There are times when he will let me go to the bathroom first because he knows when he gets done NO ONE will want to go in there.

We actually makes jokes about it now. It's a daily thing, ha!

It happens. Like you said, it's a natural thing. Plus, he still loves you!

I drop and flush. It helps the smell A LOT! I hate spraying after because then you have a shitfruit smell that does not appeal to me.

I am so used to it tho. I have never been embarrassed of this actually. WE have always had that relationship where we fart, poop, burp and all in front of each other. We all do it, why be shy? Lol. I have days where mine stinks baddddd and somedays where it smells like nothing.

Like previous posts, you just get over it haha. Learn to joke about it and move on. He will learn to deal or pay attention to your bathroom habits. My FH is a smelly pooper and he uses before you go spray mine is hit or miss depending on what I ate hahah you just learn to deal with it honestly!

We have 2 bathrooms but I hate walking all the way to the other bathroom. I will stand in the bathroom while my FH poops or does his business then I make fun of how much he stinks after. We have lived together for 2 years now. But we are both open pretty open people.

Haha! Same boat over here.. luckily we have two bathrooms in our house so one has been designated for that occasion!! Also, poop-orie or VI-Poo will be your best friend!! Seriously, they are costly, but so worth it!

View Quoted Comment I thought we were the only weird couple who did that! Showing memes on the toilet is his favorite past time

Omg. We've only had 1 bathroom our entire time together and FH has A LOT of "emergency poops" like all of a sudden he just has to go at that very minute so whatever I'm doing in the bathroom gets interupted by stinky wet nasty sounding poops! He is the stinky one and he is like a 5 year old laughing at every fart or poop.

My issue when we first were living together was that my poop would sometimes clog the toilet. I pretty much sh-- bricks. I had a "poop knife" at home. When I moved in I snuck one in the bathroom and he instantly found it. I was so embarrassed but the alternative would have been a clogged toilet!!

Poopuri helps. We took it on the cruise with us!

So, apologies for resurrecting this old thread but something funny happened this past weekend that I just had to share. First, to go back a few months: I bought some Poo Pourri as was recommended by quite a few of you. It’s not 100% effective for me, but it definitely brings the stink down to a more manageable and less embarrassing level. Which is great! I’ve been keeping it in my purse and taking it everywhere and it’s saved me some stress in quite a few situations.

That is, until last weekend. FH and I went to his parents’ house (in a different city) Saturday through Monday for a little Labor Day get-together. On Sunday afternoon, everyone was lounging out by the pool when I felt the urge. But hey, no problem! I’ve got my Poo Pourri! So I excuse myself, head into the house and the bathroom, unzip my purse, and. . .What. The. Eff. It’s not in there. Now in a mild state of panic, I head back outside. Through a few texts and awkward whispers, I communicate the problem to FH. He says something to his parents and tells me to follow him inside. I do, and there he explains the plan: I can go in the second floor bathroom and he’ll stand guard downstairs to distract anyone who comes inside. Sounds good, I think.

So, I go up and take care of business. The fan is typically ineffective. It does not smell pleasant when I’m done. But the plan seems to have worked. I go downstairs and FH tells me no one even came inside. I breathe a sigh of relief, and we talk about other things for a minute or two. And then, without warning, everyone (FH’s parents, sister, brother, his girlfriend, and a few cousins) comes back into the house. And FH’s brother immediately runs upstairs. My mind had barely completed the thought “He’s not going into the bathroom. Why would he go into the bathroom?” when I (and um, EVERYONE) hear him yell down “Oh my god, it reeks up here! Who destroyed the bathroom?” It was like time stopped. What I’m sure was a look of horror (that I really hope no one else noticed) flashed across my face as I made eye contact with FH. He grinned (or grimaced really) and then he said it: “Sorry, [brother’s name]. It was me. Maybe you should’ve cooked those steaks a little better last night.”

I just about melted. Perhaps taking blame for your future wife’s horrific poop smell isn’t chivalry in the traditional sense, but it was definitely what I needed in that moment. And I think it’s safe to say that any lingering (pun intended) embarrassment I had with FH over this issue is finally eliminated.
