speaking of HIMYM, was anybody else amazed that they had been together NINE years and never peed in front of each other? Imean, I'm not saying that I do it on the first date, but wow.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
How often does the situation come up, really? (I mean, I've never peed in front of DH, after 9+ years together. It's just not something that's ever presented itself as a necessity.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

NSM with anyone else I was with previously, but sharing living space and a single bathroom with two other people, it came up fairly early. Sometimes I miss my first apartment in SF, with its nice little sink-tub-shower washroom and separate WC, but mostly I don't even notice anymore.

Huh. I think the ex and I peed in front of each other as soon as we moved in together. In fact, I can only think of one man I lived with who absolutely insisted on total privacy in the bathroom.

I insist on bathroom privacy for bodily functions. I don't mind being walked in on during a shower, or even by a third party during sex on the occasions when it's happened, but toilet time is MY time alone.

I can kinda relate, Matt. Most of the time I don't care, but there is one time of the month when shyness compels me to lock the bathroom door when I'm living with someone.

When the DH and I were first dating/living together/got married we both needed the bathroom privacy thing even for something as mundane as teeth brushing. Having one bathroom and a toddler that was potty training? Changed everything. Now with 2 kids? I'm lucky if I get any privacy and we have 3 bathrooms!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Huh. I think the ex and I peed in front of each other as soon as we moved in together.

Trust my rage
Joe won't pee in front of me. I don't care at all, but he says it's because I get to sit and am therefore less exposed.

There is no peeing in front of each other in the McWarnigle household. I just found out Tom closes the bathroom door even when I'm not home. Not, like, could potentially be home at some point. Like, when I was in San Juan for the better part of a week.
There is no shared toilet time.
