DH spends all evening in the bathroom

[Anonymous]

I would get him some laxatives and make him an appointment with the doctor.

You don't know how to poop? I just went to poop and read about one page of my book before I had finished. I'm set until tomorrow now.

Your husband is doing it wrong. He's avoiding you.

Probably the only time he gets from bratty kids and a nagging wife...

[Anonymous]

Colace, fiber pills and laxatives.

And yes, he's an ass for doing this to you

Tell me more. I'm not OP

I swear my DH will take a crap three times a day and disappear in there for 20 to 30 min each time. And I know he's actually pooping in there 'cause it smells to high heaven when he's done. But I've never seen someone poop that much in one day. And yes, he often is in there right when I need help with one of the kids.

He's avoiding.

Get digestive enzymes for him. Ideally from food- sauerkraut, kefir, etc. things that are fermented.

ARe you sure he's pooping and not masturbating?

[Anonymous]

Umm it takes me 20 seconds to take a crap. HE'S the one with the problem OP. Tell him that sitting a long time trying to poo is gonna give him hemmorhoids.

Take the doorknob off the door and he'll pick up the pace.

+1, he's masturbating like a horny teen.
How is your sex life? Try offering him a quickie after the kids are sound asleep but only if he stays out of the bathroom and takes on his daddy duties cheerfully!

Just because you hear the sound of videos doesn't mean he's not communicating with someone in there. Sounds can run in the background.

He could also be masturbating and watching porn. Very common, and way out of control if he's putting it above your wishes, and refusing to pitch in and take care of his kids and household.

Test him by having him leave his phone outside of the bathroom for a few nights. If he's got nothing to hide, he has no right to get riled up about it. If he throws a tantrum, I'd say he's shown you his true priorities.

If he truly needs all these multiple poop marathons at exactly the same times every night, he can read a book or something. And then maybe see a doctor or adjust his diet.

The important thing is that you shouldn't get stuck with all you're doing, while he does whatever.

Seems like a common problem. Even DCUM is featured as far back as 2009.

Put cleaning products out. If he's going to be in there that long he should at least clean. Floor too.
