Not hiding normal bodily functions from your spouse

[Anonymous]

So many people on this forum do that. Why? You live with this person and will for your whole life (hopefully).

Anyway, who is normal about these things and doesn’t hide it?

DH and I have never hid this stuff from each other.

We don’t hide it but we are considerate adults.

Because I was raised to be polite. It's weird and quirky, I know, but generally I close the bathroom door when other people are around. Because I dont want to see/hear/smell others defecating and I generally try to extend the same coutesy.

WAS EVERYONE ON DCUM RAISED IN A TRAILER PARK?

Why do you need to take a dump in front of your spouse? Toilets have doors for a reason.

Following. And fed up with a DH who insists I'm the one who is crazy because I close the door. It's called common decency, people.

OP here. I wasn’t raised in a trailer park. I close the door, but don’t do things like freak out if I have to pass gas and my spouse is in the room.

I relish my gas and believe others should also. Oddly, not everyone else is as enthusiastic.

To this day I have never heard my mother or father pass gas. Nor any of my siblings save when they were very young children. I can remember when my brother was going through a phase of thinking it was funny to pass gas loudly, and my mother giving him a long talk on a walk about how polite people don't pass gas in front of others. He couldn't believe anyone else passed gas, he literally thought he was the only one, because that's how discreet everyone else was! My mom told him in a nice way that everyone does, but it's impolite, and needs to be kept private the way all bodily/bathroom functions do

I seriously dont understand how this is even an issue? Unless you're incontinent, why cant you regulate your bowels? Do you openly pass gas in work and other public settings? Why are people obsessed with this topic on here?

Here’s my problem: how can you stop it? It’s not bowels; it’s gas. Can you control when you pass gas?

Yes, unless there's extraordinary circumstances and then you can excuse yourself to go to a different room or bathroom. Do you pass gas openly in front of your coworkers or in a meeting?

I do my best to conceal it, but frankly, if I got up, it would probably come out. You have exceptional control over your flatulence.

I don’t hide. But I shut the bathroom door. And we try not to be gross around other people. Common courtesy.

[Anonymous]

There’s a difference between openly making a bowel movement in front of your spouse and letting out a little gas. Huge difference.

That’s not exceptional, it’s normal. Maybe you should see a gastroenterologist.
