Why do men choose the toilet as their preferred spot for alone time?

[Anonymous]

I'm a woman, and I've done this. Sometimes, I need 5 minutes for myself away from my husband and kids nagging at me.

That's when/where my ex-husband texted his side chick. *shrug*

I assure you this is not the case. On the weekends when my teens are sleeping and I’m browsing FB/DCUM, DH is STILL having his 30+ minutes of phone time on the crapper.

I wasn't referring to gifting around online. I was referring to the other, more personal, sensual, self care.

If DH is doing that in the bathroom while you are sitting in bed on your phone and the teens are sleeping, then yes, DH is desperate.

Same. I guess we are a unicorn couple.

Or OP is sexist.

It’s true though.

“Because it’s like, use your words and say you need a little alone time.”

But women won’t accept this for an answer and will turn it into an exhausting struggle for dominance. Easier just to lock yourself in the bathroom. If this upsets you, try not being such a control freak.

How many women do you live with?

For a fact, you only need to date one woman to know that women won’t just accept an answer they don’t like, they will incessantly probe and pester and see if you are weakening and try to wheedle you into changing your mind. But I have found this to be true for all women.

No dog in this fight but no one in my family (DH or 2 teens) takes more than 5 mins in the bathroom and by the sound of your post, he is not guaranteed alone in any other place in the house except a bathroom with a locked door. Needs peace and quiet from you to either: poop, relax(read/go on his phone), masturbate or cheat. No den or home office or basement without a locked door offers the privacy of a bathroom. Someone could always pop in and interrupt whatever you are doing.

If he wasn't pooping and was embarrassed when you asked then he was likely either masturbating, sexting with someone or whispering to someone on the phone. Or he just wanted to get away from you for a little while. In any of those cases you might want to do a little introspection as to your part in this and possible solutions.

And don’t come in here saying your unicorn husband doesn’t do this. It is literally a joke all across the internet and has been for forever. If your husband doesn’t choose to seek alone time with his pants at his ankles and his junk dangling in the bowl, sitting on a hard toilet seat, congratulations. This post is for us real ones, I guess.

I had just cleaned our bathroom and was getting ready to replace the toilet paper—there was none. In the time I was running to the pantry to grab a new package, DH proclaimed he had to poop. When he was done with his lengthy trip to drop the kids at the pool, I finished refilling the TP. There was still no TP, nor had he asked me to bring him any, and the bathroom still smelled like cleaning product. I asked him, “Did you not wipe, or were you just pretending to poop?” His face turned red when he realized he was caught. I asked him why he chose to spend his alone time in the bathroom when we have a finished basement and other quiet places to retreat with comfy furniture and where you don’t need to get partially naked and sit on a hard surface, so why the bathroom? He couldn’t give me an answer. Is this genetic?

I came here to point this out....

Pp the quote didn't post.
Do you have kids or not? You said you don't have kids and then you said you do. Which is it?

It’s an old expression for pooping. The full expression is disgusting.

Probably looking at porn or having an affair.

Op from your post, in no way do I believe you allow him to have alone time. The fact that you are monitoring him is all I need to know.
