People always say that you understand the meaning of privacy after you have kids because you no longer have privacy. They follow you into the bathroom for goodness sake. Can you believe that? But no one ever says anything about what happens to your privacy when you get married. Husbands -- and wives -- follow each other into the bathroom sometimes, too. In fact, my husband and I, although we tend to keep the bathroom door closed when we're doing our business, we still have full-fledged conversations through the door. "Do you want chicken or beef for dinner tonight, honey?" Or "I just read this amazing article about how to beat fat by eating your weight in bacon."
Some people say that couples should maintain mystery and not allow each other to witness bodily functions (unless one of you is in labor or tragically ill). But when you live together and share everything that seems hard to do. I consider our bathroom conversations a new level of intimacy. What do you think? Let us know in the poll below.
I actually think there’s a huge difference between talking through the door and getting the whole visual. We don’t leave the door open, but will talk through it.
