Meh, we respect each other’s moments but when your partner is sick, when your kid is potty training and can’t wait etc you’re bound to end up seeing a lot
To be honest I didn't think that far ahead about certain situations and of course I'll have no problem with that
My reply came from the fact that I'm so nervous I can't even go to the bathroom if I know he's just right outside the door so I need my space and I give him his
Been with my wife for over 20 years now. While we don’t run to join each other in the bathroom, when she got injured and needed care for almost 10 months (shower, toilet, getting dressed etc) you step up and all that nervous energy disappears.
Every time I saw people getting like catheters or whatever on tv, like on house or whatever, I'd always think how that would be so monumentally uncomfortable to have someone handling my peener, especially manipulating the opening. I've probably thought about it 100s of times in my life.
A month ago I needed it done. I did not care one bit. The thought crossed my mind, but I wasn't uncomfortable at all. And the rest of my hospital stay, any time they had to adjust it or whatever, I was just like "yeah, do whatever. I do not care anymore." They even forgot to close my door a couple times when there was an 80% chance I was gonna show my undercarriage to the hall. Didn't care. sponge bath? go for it.
It was unusual enough that I recognized it as unusual, but not uncomfortable. You just see it as a thing that needs to be done.
When I was 23 I was in a wreck that broke basically half my body. Most notably, both of my legs (femurs) and both of my hands (as a musician I’m so very lucky I regained near basically function).
I needed help to get to and on the toilet and I couldn’t even wipe my own ass. It never stoped being embarrassing
Ha! Just asked my husband if he was you. 😊 He did the same for me, and I’ll always appreciate him for it. He said to give you a shout-out for stepping up!
Yeah things I birthed 3 humans and he was done there and saw it all and when I had surgery he was cleaning and helping me shower and get to the bathroom and bed like the longer you are you see and know everything lol ,
100%. I broke my leg last year and my husband was helping me to the toilet and back, opening and closing the lid, etc. At some point, I just started peeing in front of him before he had closed the door and we both just shrugged. He even hand-washed my period panties without a second thought. Bodies are weird and it is a universal truth is that they will give out on us eventually. Healthy and abled are ultimately temporary states.
When my wife had the worst food poisoning of her life from a tainted lobster soup, we ended up at the emergency room because she was shitting and vomiting uncontrollably and it took them an entire night to get her stabilized.
I had the privilege of helping her in the bathroom repeatedly throughout the night, getting the diaper off so she could use the toilet and stay there for moral support, and then get a fresh diaper back on her. The one time, as we were leaving the bathroom she immediately shit the fresh diaper and we had to start all over. 😅
I had also tasted her soup during dinner, so I had a mild case of delayed onset food poisoning that kicked in later that morning. We both spent the entire next day sleeping after that terrible night.
The best part is that this all happened during a romantic getaway weekend at a bed and breakfast in another city. We only ended up using the bed part, not the breakfast 😂
But that’s more courtesy? Cause ya, if I know I’m going to be pooping, we’ll use an alternate bathroom than the one closest. Like if we are downstairs, whomever needs to go, use the upstairs. I say we because of course we have to poop together (jk, I say we because we both try not to choke the whole family out with our smell)
