^^^ That is 100% my H, he is so uncomfortable with any sort of bathroom talk and so private about it. He basically avoids going poop in public (unless that isn't possible) and only really does it at home. I have no clue why it takes him so long, I am assuming he just is sitting there doing nothing most of the time. I accepted a long time ago that I just need to go when I need to go, wherever I am. I go in, do my business and get out. I mean I have had times where it takes a lot longer if I am super constipated or something, but thankfully I've come a long way in my health journey to correct those issues.

My theory is that men don't know how to listen to their bodies, or actually relax their sphincters. So when they have gas, or their lower intestines get kinda full, they sit down and force things out, even if they're not ready, and again, pushing it out through a closed door instead of opening up.

Just my guess. It's ridiculous.

I'm more cynical than you guys and think men just like to hang out in the bathroom undisturbed and on their phones. I'd like to see research on long it took them before phones/books/papers in the bathroom were a thing

I gotta agree with @tj_2.... I know MH is just on his phone in there because he sends me memes 😂

FFWC: Now that I'm a mom, I pretend to be pooping when I'm not actually pooping because it's one of the few times I get "alone time". But also my husband poops at least 2-3 times per day and takes 15+ minutes every time, and I'm just like "HOW?" I'm lucky if I get one good one a day these days.

@shamrocandroll yes! And every time I think "ok I'll just take a little longer in the bathroom for 5 minutes of peace" my husband starts yelling that DD needs me RIGHT THAT SECOND. Just deal with it yourself and leave me alone for 5 minutes! On the bright side DD is getting a little more independent and the other day she found me in the bathroom and when I told her I was pooping she tells the dog (who followed her in there of course) "come on, leave mommy alone cuz she's pooping!" and they left. It was magical. What they did on their own unattended (DH was in the garage at the time) is still unknown but the house is still standing and they are still alive so win-win.

I've had to start locking the door sometimes. My husband used to freaking bring the kids to "go see mom" every freaking time I took 2 min to poop (or hide) and complain that he hated it when he didn't get to poop alone.

There were many words about all of that, but now he generally knows better than to direct kids to me while I'm in bathroom.

Oh if MH doesn't take his phone in, it's so much quicker. I have to poop with the door open or dd will freak out crying on the other side and mh can do nothing to calm her. When she's extra grouchy she throws a fit if she's not on my lap while pooping.

When DH is taking too long I usually send DD in to ask him lots of questions
