Re: so how much do you share with your DH?
I'm like you, except that my husband is NOT okay with it at all. He yells at me for farting, and when I forget to close the door while I'm pooping.
ETA - Once I got a tampon stuck (NO idea how that happened, I think it was one of those ridiculous OB ones) and I started freaking out about it. He absolutely refused to help me at all. He wouldn't even come near the bathroom! I was crying on the verge of a panic attack and he was all, "EW! That's so gross!" Ok, but it's ok to stick other things in there? I mean really?
DH is my best friend. I tell him everything and he lets me know I do with "You told me that 3 times already." Shuush goober, you're supposed to let me vent.
He is not allowed to come in the potty room though. I draw the line. I don't watch you poop so back the hell up when I'm doing it. He watched the c-section with Emma. When I was in recovery feeling sorry for myself that I didn't get to have a vbac he's telling me "You did so great! You have no idea what I saw you go through. That was worse than any vbac!"
We talk to each other all the time and there are times we do grind each others nerves but I think that is part of marriage. I love him more now than I did when we got married and on my drive home I am still excited to see him get home from work every day.
I also share everything with my DH. Like you said, he is my best friend and we are very rarely apart from each other. Everything except the pooping/farting/bathroom door open thing! But the snot scare would be something I would share!
We're totally open. He is my best friend and totally supportive. Remember the ass pimple on our honeymoon? Ugh.
I still don't want to poop in front of him though...

We are the same way and I would rather hang out with him than any of my friends...although I do have girls night out occasionaly.
The only thing we don't do is poop in front of eachother...but really I can't think of anyone that I would! lol
You're not alone! We are a little too open for most people. I also tell my DH everything that goes on with my body, since I am pregnant he's actually interested in every single thing.
Some people just are that comfortable though, and that's okay too.
I draw the line at actually going to the bathroom in front of him - I'm a private pooer, what can I say.
But I do tell him everything and anything to do with what's going on, and he is now as invested in my bowel situation as I am, after the events of Tuesday (ER for impacted bowel).
I would say there is is no topic that is off limits for us, esp. in pregnancy. He's been with me through all of this, including the RE appointments and testing, so whatever boundries there were really have been eliminated.
Oh yeah, everything. We're completely ourselves around each other, and myself includes the pooping, farting, gross bodily excrements and all. We both draw the line at wiping, lol. No one in the room for that.
He thought the time when I was puking and peed on myself at the same time was totally hilarious. If I didn't feel so horrible, I would've laughed along with him.
Girl I tell my hubby everything. He is my best friend too! I fart in front of him, poop, etc. I think that's how it should be. If you can't be real with your husband who can you be real with!
You are not weird! That's a healthy realtionship
Glad to know that I'm not the only one that has done that
i swear we were sisters in another life!
Everything- good, bad, ugly or indifferent.
I am totally like this! I went poop while he was in the shower the other day and then showed it to him (I thought it had a weird color or something). He just laughs at me and gives me a look like "you are so weird".
Edit: He is pretty weird too though. He was reading me a book the other day on pregnancy and every time he said the word vag!na he started giggling.
You just made me tear up at work thanks!
Prego hormones...anyway, this is exactly how I feel about DH too. I don't share everything with him, he gets a little icked out with some of the more bathroom related PG symptoms. This was how he was long before I got KU'd though, he always has a cow if I fluffy in front of him or if I "blow up the bathroom" so I knew that going into all this. He has been very understanding of when I don't feel good or if I'm overly tired - normally he's one of those "suck it up and tough it out" kinda guys and that has made me stronger and better able to deal with these things, but it is also nice to have him be more nurturing than he usually is.
we are just like you. i don't getting all bent out of shape about taking a dump or farting or talking about how bad your period sucks. sorry - it's a human thing that's bound to happen and if you can't deal with it you're a big ol' p-word.
that said, i'm not going to have burping contests or anything with him, but yeah...
We are the same way. I give him blow by blow descriptions of everything that happens to me and he does the same. I don't know why we aren't grossed out by any of that. Sometimes when he watches me throw up or pee myself I am worried that he won't find me sexy later but that hasn't happened so far.
Same here. I like our closed door bathroom policy! I tease him if he stinks up the bathroom and we occasionally fart in front of each other--oh, and recently I've plucked my eyebrows in front of him, etc.
5 years together and I think *some* secrets are ok.
This is how we are too. Discussion are one thing, but I'd like to keep some of the mystery/romance alive. LoL.
Rachel and Jeff Married 5.29.05
Jason is 8
Elizabeth is 6
Katherine is 18 months
DH is my best friend too, so almost nothing is off limits, except when I am pooing, he isn't even allowed to talk to me through the door during that.
EDD 1/31/13, MC May 17. EDD 3/31/13, MC July 26. I miss you so much already my angel loves
This exactly. We love that we can share everything, even the gross stuff!
You are not weird
My DH and I are the same way. Been that way for the past 9 years!
I even texted him that I now have T-rex arms because belly is so big it's hard to wipe. He said he LOL'd at his desk.
What's the point in being married if you can't laugh and share, right?
I don't disagree with people who are that comfortable with their partners, but for me personally I like to keep the "gross" stuff to myself. I just want to remain sexy to him - and though it might be cute to fart or poop, it's definetly NOT sexy. I remember in a previous relationship I did all that gross stuff infront of my ex and I never thought it changed anything, actually I felt a twinge of trust being that comfortable. BUT with my fiance now, unless I feel disadvantaged about not telling him about something ie. bodily functions then if it's gross I keep it to myself. I tell him about everything else, and if I was sick on the toilet or something then yes I'd tell him, but that's the difference between "nice to know" and "need to know". Just my opinion.
