Do you pee in front of your boyfriend?

Pssst....Do you pee in front of your significant other? My answer is no! My friends think I'm uptight because I'd never let a dude anywhere near the bathroom when I pee. I even run the water so you can't hear anything. And on the few times I've been in the bathroom when Alex pees, I dissolve into fits of giggles. I know, so immature. So tell me, dear readers, do you pee in front of your partner or keep the door closed? I am so curious!

Speaking of bathroom endeavors, after asking you what surprised you when you moved in together, three readers came back with very unexpected answers....

  • "I cannot poop while he is anywhere near me. I banish him to the bedroom or living room. It's like stage fright. If I hear something near the kitchen, I yell, 'I know you're in there and I'm not going!'" -- psuajblue (What do women really think about the restroom?)
  • "Hahahahaha, totally know what you mean. thankfully, our condo is 3 stories, and the bathrooms are on the top and bottom floor...he uses the downstairs one, and i use the upstairs one...but i'm totally the same way...if i hear him come upstairs, i'm like 'heeyyyy, whaddya doin'?'....'goooo awaaaay'....i'm...doing...my..makeup?...." -- daynya
  • "Hee, I totally feared the co-habitation pooping scenarios. As it turns out? We are both 12-year-old boys....We have two bathrooms, but they share a wall. Sometimes, disgustingly (but hilariously) I'll hear his voice floating through the wall, '...you poopin'? Me too!'" -- ladislow

Ha ha! So funny. And, my hilarious readers, let me know: To pee or not to pee? That is the question.

    I have a strict closed door policy in all matters of bodily function. I don't even like to pee in a bathroom with more than one stall! I like my privacy boyfriend or just friend or whoever stay out of the bathroom while I'm trying to do my business. There is a lot to be said about feminine mystique... You completely get rid of it if you let them in the potty with you.

    WTF is the big deal? It's a bodily function; we all do it. It doesn't embarrass me to do anything like that in front of my boyfriend. I pee, poo, burp, fart, go without makeup... then again, I'm a really cool lady that isn't sensitive like most girls. I don't like crappy chick flicks or sappy music, neither. I'm effin' cool, and that's why the dudes dig me!

    Who cares? I do everything in front of my husband.(He runs away like hell if I'm in the bathroom doing #2 grabbing my son with him. lol) We do sleep in the same bed and have a baby together.

    Yes,I pee in front of him. When we're in the bathroom together sometimes he sings to me when im on the pot.He does'nt seem to even notice what i'm doing. He,on the other hand,doesn't pee in front of me.I am glad of that!It's different for a guy I think.

    this guy peed with the bathroom door open once and it gave me the creeps. who doesnt close the door when peeing. it just made me think that he either never closes the door to pee or he wanted me to hear him pee. or he justed didnt care. i could never do that....guys are so gross.

    I was basically raised by my three older brothers. Rude, Crude and socially unacceptable. Ya i urinate and poop in front of my boyfriend i mean i dont go out of my way to do it but it happens and when we go out drinking in the country i pee outside with him. But he still says that women dont fart and i think it is hilarious because i just let them rip. Lately we have been contemplating anal sex and i will say that i am afraid that he will come out with feacle matter on him or i will fart during it so we have been working up to it.

    My boyfriend loves to chat while peeing, he will talk to me when he's going or sit on the tub while I go. It creeped me out at first, but I got over it. There tends to be a lot "Man, that was a stinky pee! What did you drink?" or comment on the way it sounds. As far as pooping, again he likes to chat. If the bathroom door is closed that means I am and he always asks what I am doing, so I give him obscure answers like learning Chinese, knitting, or writing a novel. When he is in the shower and I have to pee I will sit down and tell him I'm pooping. He gets excited, or grossed out, I am not sure, and pulls back the shower curtain to see if I am. When I tell him I am not and he seemed both relieved and a little disappointed. I struggle to remember to close the door when I visit my family's various houses. Funny how things change when you live with someone.

Few things harm a relationship more than an affair. Whether the affair is emotional, a 'one night stand' or full blown, the betrayal delivers a life altering blow. Will the injury to the relationship prove fatal?
