My husband pees on the @#$@# floor...

[Anonymous]

Had the same problem, though to a lesser extent. DH was wholly offended by my raising the issue, and he's a great, generally reasonable guy. I think the sensitivity may be tied to a fear of aging. That's what I tell myself, at least, when I wipe the floor every few days. Maybe a male reader would have some more insight. I have a feeling there's more to this issue than the gross aspect that seems so obvious.

I (at my own request) held my partner's penis once while he peed. It was actually harder than one might think to aim accurately due to the changes in the pressure of the flow.

You might want to try it. It was kind of fun.

That said, he should clean up after himself.

Try getting him this for Valentine's Day--the narrative on the website description is also on the package.

Ha! We have those wipes for that very purpose. (I got them at Target) My DH also has a bit of an aiming problem so in addition to making sure those wipes are "on-hand" we've also pretty much given him his own bathroom. Our has has only 1 1/2 baths so we (my two daughters and myself) have taken over the full bath and my DH has the 1/2 bath all to himself. He only comes into our bathroom to shower or, for some strange reason, a bathroom emergency. This has also helped because he tends to be a walrus when he washes his face or brushes his teeth (water EVERYWHERE!) so now I don't have to do my nightly routine in a soaking wet bathroom.

Sorry, it was supposed to read "our house has" not "has has" Obviously my brain is faster than my fingers!

I'm the OP again -- oh, thanks for the commiseration. Really. It helped.

* To the PPs who are laughing at my post, no, that doesn't bother me; when I'm not seething I see the hilarity here!
* To the PP who HELD HER PARTNER'S PENIS WHILE HE PEED, thank you for making me laugh MY head off. Guess your guy isn't pee-shy!
* To the PP who suggested the 2nd bathroom concept -- We actually moved recently to a place with a 2nd bathroom, which really is lovely and does help, but the bathroom where he piddles is unfortunately the one that's childproofed and the one where the kiddo gets bathed (no way to switch them). So I'm stuck in there a fair bit. And I've tried the ignore-it-and-surely-he'll-eventually-notice-the-accumulated-filth route, and WOW, you'd be surprised at how much filth this guy can ignore...
* To the PPs who've suggested I pee on the seat -- don't think I haven't thought of that! Haven't done it yet, but I swear this is true, when I said in an argument about this once, "What if I left menstrual blood on the seat all the time, and you asked me to clean up after myself, and I just wouldn't -- wouldn't you feel disgusted and frustrated too?" he replied, "I just don't know." REALLY?! He is unsure how that would make him feel?! Like maybe it would be no big thing?! So believe me, I've been tempted...
* And finally, to the PP who suggested the Method wipes, oh my goodness, I am buying those immediately. Those can only help. Thank you.

We had a big fight about it tonight and have now made up and he says he will do better... but I have heard that before. So wish me luck. I'm glad I'm not alone. Thanks.

You could always install a urinal in your house! This is becoming more and more popular. I remember an article about it in the Washington Post Home section within the past two years.

OP,

Have you tried a passive-agressive note? http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/page/41/

[Anonymous]

I'm not the OP, but I love the passive-aggressive notes!

My husband pees on the floor,
burps when i am eating and even tries to make out words with his burp..

He farts everywhere really loud and at some point burped in my face when we were
having %^$..

I find all of the above very disrespectul.. very disgusting..

we have talked about this and he stops for a few days then he is back to it again..
my husband is 58 and i am 31..

OP here, amused to see this thread resurrected. Well, at least my DH doesn't do the stuff listed in 18:44!

Believe it or not, something seems to have clicked since our last fight about this, right when I last posted. He seems to be cleaning up after himself. I'm not super optimistic it will last permanently, but for now it's great! My old dog is performing new tricks! What a sweetie!

[Anonymous]

Did anybody mention training DH to sit down on the toilet when he pees? I've dated men from northern Europe do that. I find it very considerate and well-mannered.

Get a rug to go around the toilet so her husband can just tinkle on the rug instead of the floor? Yuk.

I've house-trained my husband to sit down and pee. Unfortunately, my dad when he visits (lives in our community) pee-pees on the floor. He's gross. Thanks, mom!

how about peeing in our closet after a wild night out...thinking its the toilet...ugh.

[Anonymous]

OP, how about printing out this thread and forcing DH to read it every time he forgets to clean the bathroom? Or you stick it on the bathroom door every time he forgets!!
