TMI Tuesday

LOTON01 · February 2012

Sorry late today ladies.

I have been sick for two 1/2 days, having issues and spending lots of time in the bathroom. How do you feel when talking to fi about this kind of stuff?

I was so embarrassed and hated talking about it. He however thought it was no big deal.

I am dreading this...

FI and I haven't lived together...and I don't like the idea of sharing a bathroom at all...gosh. I need to grow up lol.

For things like vomitting and bathroom issues we usually can tell since our bedroom is right next to the bathroom if we are in that room, like at night. As for during the day how our house is you can tell when someone is in the bathroom by seeing the door shut or hearing the water run (in the basement). We don't talk about it exactly other than making sure the other one is ok or has it under control as best as they can.

Well considering I've gotten food poisoning twice (and one of those was on the honeymoon...) we are pretty ok with it. I don't really go into details about what's coming out what end or anything but if noises are heard, it's not the end of the world.

Also, DH used to have an issue with his esophogus and food wouldn't be pushed down so he would vomit and dry heave a lot. He's since had surgery to correct it but for 2+ years, I heard a lot of it.

Not exactly romantic but it's real life.

First and foremost, I can not imagine a time where I will go to the bathroom while FI is in there.

As for bathroom issues, his bathroom used to be like 2 feet away from his bed, and I hated going to the bathroom there because you could hear everything. So I was always really quiet and turned on the faucet or something to muffle the noise. But, recently he told me he never even noticed it! Clearly he has less of a problem with this stuff than I do. I hate vomiting and the noises that come with it. I once heard FI vomit after a night of drinking and it continues to haunt me. How I'll ever have children, I don't know!!

I can't decide if you are talking about #2 or vomiting.

We talk about poop all the time but I HATE having FI see me throw up. He always tries to take care of me but I hate it. I locked him out of the bathroom on Superbowl Sunday and passed out apparently. I feel bad and appreciate that he's trying to take care of me but I dunno for whatever reason I'm really self-concious about it.

When it comes to throwing up, FI has held my hair before. He has seen me at my worst when I am sick.

I have been with my FI for almost 7 years and I have yet to fart in front of him... He on the other hand is very comfortable with all of that stuff. We don't live together yet, but once we do I am sure it will happen.

Our house is pretty small and the bathroom doesn't hide noises well...at all. When we first moved in together, I would run to the downstairs bathroom but this past summer we tore up the floor in the master bedroom and ended up moving into our spare room. We got over our shyness REAL quickly without the 2nd bathroom.

I have a very sensitive stomach and FI has seen/heard me puke more times than I would like. He always tries to help but I don't like anyone to see me in that position so I always wind up screaming at him to get out of the bathroom.

He also has a horrible habit of not flushing the toilet. He'll go #2 before showering and then conveniently "forget" to flush. I think he just likes to hear me throw a fit about it.

I recognize and accept that we are going to hear each other making bodily noises, either from the bathroom or outside of it. But I don't wanna talk about it. I like to keep up the polite pretense that such things do not exist.

That said, when I was so sick all this last month, DH saw and heard WAY more than I ever wanted him to. First of all, he came to the doctor's with me. Which meant that he heard me answer questions about, you know, textures and frequencies and stuff. Beyond awkward.

And then I burped, very literally, every 2 minutes of our waking life for three weeks. He thought it was adorable at first, but I suspect it was wearing thin by the end there. :P

I have a lot of stomach issues... but I (knock on wood!) havent thrown up in 12-13 years (it terrifies me) so while H is intimately familiar with one end of the spectrum with me, he doesn't know the other end at all. We are pretty open about bowel related things. I only want to know if he is throwing up so i can stay far away and then sanitize EVERYTHING so I don't get sick.

one of the (minor) reasons we don't want kids? neither one of us would be able to handle it if they got the stomach flu (which kids get like every month in childhood)
