| Use the kids bathroom. I gave up with trying to get dH to stop peeing on the floor. It's sooo nasty. We've debated this for 10+ years. Funny I don't remember this when we were dating..... |

Honestly, I don't know how you live with men. When my FIL visits, I swear he leaves more on the floor than in the bowl. Also pools of pee at the back by the lid hinge, which means he's basically spraying the whole damn room.
What do they do, swing it around like a garden hose? Sincerely, Lesbian with a piss-free floor |

It's really disgusting. My BF does not do this, thankfully. I couldn't deal with that. I had a non-romantic guy friend visit once and he'd left pee pooled at the base of the toilet. WTF. This is not OK. |

| It comes from them shaking it off after. |

DH has his own bathroom. No one uses it but him. Once in a while every things gets cleaned with bleach and industrial strength cleaners.
He is happy. I am happy. |

I could not resist a comment. The Schiphol airport in the Netherlands also had this problem. They came up with an award winning solution. For a photo see http://www.urinal.net/schiphol/ They painted a fly in the urinals. I have a first hand report that given a target men will aim. However, I don't know if there is a home version. |

I think it's more than that. Pools of pee from post-pee shaking? I don't think so. I really don't understand this whole thing. Do these men stand in the middle of the kitchen and shake the crumbs off dirty dishes? If they can manage to clean cars and other things, why not a toilet/floor? It's nasty as hell. |

Seriously, if he is that bad, he needs to sit down. My DH can aim for the inside of the bowl, avoiding the water, so the pee is silent if he needs to go in the middle of the night. His toilet has fewer splash marks than my 2 daughters.
I think your DH is just not really trying. Sorry. It doesn't make him a bad person. |

| My DH does this too. It's the source of constant fights. I think it's completely disrespectful. And one day I will just pee on the floor and make him clean it up. |

| Agree with pp to have him see a urologist. My father in law has an enlarged prostate and every time he comes to my house he pees down the front of the stool. His urine smell also lingers for several minutes. I only figured this out because I went into the powder room after him (powder room is the size of a small closet) and it smelled like I hadn't cleaned the bathroom in weeks. I was thoroughly embarrassed because MIL went in right afterwards and asked if she could clean my bathroom (face palm) and said she understood I didn't have time because I was a new mom. I have now tried to remedy the issue by doing something I loathe and that's using air freshner gel on the inside of the toilet. It's scrubbing bubbles. It doesn't solve the pee pee issue but it helps to mask the smell. For me this helps because I can't go behind him immediately after each time he uses the bathroom when he visits. My inlaws are rich and live in a mansion so there bathroom is the size of my guest room, I'm sure it takes days of him peeing on the floor before it's noticed. At first I was really embarrassed until I realized that I'm not the problem. Fil has the issue. |
