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

[Anonymous]

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.

Damn, do you all really not remember that expression from when we were kids? It’s slang for pooping.

[Anonymous]

Nope. Never called popping putting kids in the pool.

Could be, but I was upstairs cleaning the toilet while he was alone downstairs where he could have looked on his phone in private. Why come UP to where I was?

Good grief, OP. If you think really, really hard, I'm sure you could come up with some reason why he wants to look at his phone in private with no possibility of someone disturbing him.

I agree, but if you look at OP's initial post, I think you'll see that the proverbial shoe fits.
