I dont understand this. Its just pooping. Your partner has to do this daily. Ive never had a partner where I was concerned about seeing them/ been seen using the toilet. Is it going to change your love to see your partner do something that you also do? If you think its gross that's fine, but I dont think its taboo

I honestly think its more common as like a neurospicy/tism' thing. Or maybe its just me but im AuDHD, and it took me a long time to get over it. I actually have the thing(i forget the name rn) where i get super pee shy and physically struggle to urinate if there are people nearby. And I've always been irrationally anxious about being heard pooping/people smelling it. I still struggle with that in public bathrooms and at others' houses;anyone that isnt my wife. But with my wife I eventually realized that she didn't care and that it wasn't a big deal and now its not a thing with us at all, if we have to be in the bathroom together as one of us is using it, it isnt a big deal at all and there's no anxiety. She was the same way with worrying of me seeing or hearing her use the bathroom and she's also AuDHD.

We are both “neurospicy” and I’m pretty sure we got over being on the toilet in front of each other 6 months into our 14-year relationship.

That's a lot of sensory shit my man. You ever think about therapy so you can just enjoy things?

My husband has sensory stuff (but not Autism/Adhd) and it took me 15 years to convince him to talk to someone about it. He is so grateful he did it BEFORE the baby. He still struggles every time she poops her pants. He'll text me EVERY time. Sir, I am at work what am I supposed to do?
