Yeah, FI stands unless he's drunk. He also has no shame about it around me.
He also is very good about raising and lowering the seat. I've never found a seat up, even in his apartment when we first started dating. So even if he misses a little, I never find it.
I think I'll keep him.
This is awesome.. FI has always been good about putting the seat back down, then he decided about a month ago that ladies should have to put the seat down too. So now if the cover seat isn't down he marches me in there to put it down.. Sure it looks better, but the logic is just not there.. they need to put it down so we don't fall in, but the cover part? Yeesh!
Whaaaaa. it's just more work to lift the cover to pee. "Well, have it your way, but when you're doing the peepee dance because I was in the shower and you end up peeing all over the cover, you get to clean that shit up."
I always wondered about the balls thing too. I wonder about horseback riding as well. I've taught lessons and when it's a little boy they often ask me how to stop from hitting/squishing their balls. I tell them they're gonna have to figure out that one on their own because I have no idea. Trial and error, I assume.
Back to OP, I think a lot of people get themselves in this sort of trap. We end up with someone and we realize they aren't what they're all cracked up to be but we've invested this much time. And to some extent we think that we can change them/ need to take care of them. Don't do it.
I agree the story thing isn't being immature, that's straight up lying and that is really unacceptable.

We always close the whole lid so a) the dogs don't drink out of it and b) the poo germs don't spray all over the place. But also this way it's fair - whether you lift and lower one lid or two, everyone has to move something

We also the close the whole lid. Cause...we heard a thing...on Bones...
I know I shouldn't take life advice from TV but it looks nicer! And if both seats are up someone is probably throwing up or there is a dude in the house somewhere.
We usually keep it shut but H does leave the lid up sometimes, usually if he also doesn't flush. I tell him if a ferret ends up there and covered in pee, it's all on him. I'm sure it'll happen eventually and I think I'll totally be justified to give him a smug "told you so".
SO's and I had a debate about the toilet seat being left up a few months ago. He's really good about putting it down, but it was a philosophical (can toilet seat conversations be philosophical?) debate. I won when I said it should be put down because both guys and girls use it down, but only guys use it up. So the burden of putting the seat down should rest on the dude.
Eh. I usually end up doing the peepee dance because I either don't realize I have to pee until I'm practically peeing on myself, or I realize it but don't want to stop whatever I'm doing to go pee, or all of a sudden out of a normal day my bladder goes YOUBETTARUNBITCHYOUGONNAWETYOPANTS!!!!!!!
so I'd end up being the butt of my own threat anyway haha.
Even if I had a penis I would sit in my own home. I mean, I'm mad lazy. Who wants to stand if they don't have to?
I would definitely enjoy the ability to pee on things and generally be able to step behind a tree/doorway/alleyway in case of emergency. Men are portable as fuck.
I need to show FI your post. I tell him often enough that I would pee everywhere, like a dog. Like sitting in the car and have to go? Open the car door and whip it out, right?
If I had a penis for a day I would pee on everything in site. Just...fucking everything. It'd be like dog marking it's territory. I would for sure get busted for urinating in public.

Aaaaand feng shui! I just learned today that according to the rules of feng shui, you should always keep the toilet lid down to prevent the 'flushing of money down the drain' (minimizing the loss of energy).
Do with that what you will (says the girl who has fallen in the toilet more than once after DH &/or SS left the seat up).

I really wish I had enforced a lid-down policy early on in my relationship with FI... He leaves the lid and seat up all the time, but I feel like it's too late to complain about it. I close the lid when I flush, to prevent poo spray, but then again, we have an "if it's yellow, let it mellow" policy, so the lid tends to be up 90% of the time.
On a side note, has anyone used one of those pee funnels that are meant for women to use standing up? I haven't, but every time I go camping (or am drinking away from a toilet) I wish I had one...
On the issue of balls sagging...I think it actually is a thing. SO was complaining the other day that his balls are lower than they used to be. I also was listening to a comedian a few months ago and he had a bit about how he knew he had finally lost the glow of his thirties when he sat down on the toilet and his balls touched the water. Which is both gross and terrifying. At least I never have to worry about my saggy boobs hitting public toilet water.
I've always wondered about guys sitting on the toilet. What do they do with their penis? Does it it ever touch the water??
For a penis to touch the water, that would have to be a BIIIIG penis. I would say H is average to a little above average (never had sex with anyone else, but based on what I've read) and he's several inches from the water. In order for the penis to drape over the seat, the guy would have to be sitting on the very edge of the toilet seat. H just sits on the seat and it hangs down in the hole in the seat probably a good 3-4 inches away from the edge of the seat.
ETA: Another funny thing about guys and toilets. I always thought that guys stand up to pee, or at least kneel. I've never lived with anyone else besides H, but I did walk in on my grandpa on accident once. (oops) And also, I remember my family using one of those "family bathrooms" when I was a little kid, and my dad was kneeling.
But H doesn't. He does once in awhile, but 99 percent of the time, he sits on the toilet. I asked him why because I always thought that was a guy thing to stand and pee. He said it's easier and there's no risk of "missing" and making a mess.
Kneeling? Really? I wouldn't think there was enough height.
Kneel? What? I've never heard of a dude kneeling at the urinal lol that sounds like a recipe for disaster.
FI sits. All the time. He only stands if there's a urinal.
No, never at a urinal. At a regular toilet.
So I totally just walked into my bathroom and kneeled on the floor with the toilet seat up to see how high it was. It would be a couple inches too low for me if I had a penis, but most guys are a good five to six inches taller than me at least (I'm 5'4").
I try to keep our toilet lid shut. We have one of these things vv and sadly, it does not look nearly so pretty as the one in the picture because it's full of stuff because we don't have much storage space. I'm always worried about dropping stuff in the toilet.
I just asked FI and he goes "no way anyone would kneel in front of a toilet. Also it would have to be a really tall person since your junk would probably be below the rim of the bowl" Although I looked at the ones in our work bathroom and they seem really low, so perhaps that height would be ok haha
We also close the lid because I've seen those youtube, slow motion spray videos. GROSS. We also keep our toothbrushes inside the medicine cabinet for double protection since guests normally leave the lid up.
I have never in my life heard of someone kneeling at a toilet except to puke. Neither has H.
Same. This is so fucking weird to me.
Ditto this. Plus, there is no way in hell I would want my clothes to touch the bottom of public restroom floors. There have been times I don't even like the fact that the soles of my shoes are touching those floors. Some of those are beyond gross. And if there's that much spray sometimes in women's restrooms (seriously, how, ladies? And do you not fucking look at the damage you have left and feel bad about it?), I can't even begin to imagine how a guy's restroom looks, especially in places like bars.
I have never in my life heard of someone kneeling at a toilet except to puke. Neither has H.
I was totally going to ask you to have H kneel in front of the toilet because he's so tall. Cause if I kneel in front of the toilet it's to puke.
It's not even physically possible in our bathroom because the toilet is less than 2 feet from the tub! No room for his legs to go.
I just don't understand why you'd go through the trouble of kneeling and not just sit. Between the grody ass contents of bathroom floors, lack of space, and pain of kneeling on tile... not worth it in the slightest.

Just an FYI - the top shelf is not a good place for kitty litter. You'd think, with it being over the toilet and difficult to climb and sort of away from any good access points, it'd be great.
And then you'd end up pissed off because you're using an old Solo cup to scoop an entire bag of clay litter out of your toilet. And thankful you were broke this week and bought clay litter instead of clumping.
Ladies, I would just like to advise, if you do get a Go Girl or similar, get some practice in with it before taking it on the road. It's cool once you "get it" but it is possible to make a mess. I mean, or so I've heard.
Re: Needy Fiance
We both close the lid though. 'Cause, equality.
