There must be two types of people/couples. Those that prefer privacy and those that don't care.

- nehal3m 1y agoA door has two states to choose from, so having a door covers all use cases.
- mothballed 1y agoAnd a third type, people who have had children so have gone through the toddler stage where a toddler would literally chainsaw and burn down a locked door before they let you have 3 seconds of peace to take a shit.
- echelon 1y agoThat's actually a very valid point I hadn't taken into consideration. If you're single or have a partner that you're comfortable with, open concept bathrooms feel luxurious. But if you need sanctity and salvation from the kids, I can get it.
- tbrownaw 1y agoThe real issue is when they're old enough to reach the lock, but not old enough to trust not to destroy things or injure themselves if left unsupervised.
- ohhnoodont 1y agoI’ve actually ended otherwise decent relationships early because the other person was way too coy/upset with bodily functions like farting and pooping. If we’er sleeping together I expect us to be farting together. And if we are living together I expect us to be using the toilet in front of each other. Anything less is both inconvenient and reflective of deep personality conflicts that will never be resolved.
- zuminator 1y agoI have never in my life imagined that someone might break up with another person for the sole reason that the person refused to poop in front of them. That is honestly wild to me, but I appreciate your perspective, thanks for sharing.
- swader999 1y agoBeen married twenty years and haven't seen my wife poop yet. Not really on my list.
- bigstrat2003 1y agoSimilarly, married ten years and my wife and I have never seen each other use the bathroom. And barring dire emergencies I can't actually envision, we never will.
- pests 1y agoIt's stories like these (and poor parenting I guess) that causes things like my cousin standing up to wipe for close to 30 years until his gf filled him in one day.
- seanmcdirmid 1y agoMy college roommate told me I was doing it wrong by not standing up to wipe. I just rolled my eyes, that guy had a lot of weird things going on.
- cxr 1y agoSounds like there's going to be someone around who's bound to be the source of deep personality conflicts all right.
- Zak 1y agoI would be surprised if private defecation is not a majority preference among couples. Even if I'm alone in a hotel room, I'd prefer to contain the odor to the bathroom.
- stephen_g 1y agoWe tend to not care for showering/peeing, but pooping is something else...
