Guy Calls Wife A Jerk For Trying To Control His Bathroom Time, The Internet Says That He’s The One Who Needs A Reality Check
A recent story shared by a 37-year-old married woman in the AITA community raised people’s eyebrows.
“My husband (40M) and I (37F) live in an apartment with only one bathroom. In the morning, he spends upwards of 40 minutes going to the bathroom, sitting on the toilet, answering emails, scrolling social media, and also, of course, actually using the bathroom,” the woman explained.
That alone probably wouldn’t surprise anyone, but the issue comes down to the fact that the author too, needs to use the toilet at around the same time.

Hemorrhoids, a condition often caused by sitting too long on a toilet bowl, affect 75% of adults in the US
It may be tempting to spend more time on the “porcelain throne” than you really need to. But doctors warn that sitting for long periods of time on a toilet may have serious health consequences.
One of the many threats of sitting on the toilet bowl for too long is that it can cause hemorrhoids to appear. Hemorrhoids are veins that swell in the lowest part of the rectum. Hemorrhoids affect 75% of adults during their lifetime, making them one of the most common gastrointestinal problems.
The Mayo Clinic reports that these veins are similar to varicose veins, and they can swell inside the anus and cause a bit of bleeding. On the outside, they can cause a small bulge in the anal area. Symptoms of internal and external hemorrhoids can be bleeding, pain, itching, and swelling.
It’s important to note that the main causes of hemorrhoids are sitting too long on the toilet, pushing or straining during a bowel movement, lack of exercise, pregnancy, and being overweight. Poor diet can also have an impact, but usually a hemorrhoid flareup starts because of the joint multiple factors.
“You shouldn’t spend more than 5 minutes on the toilet,” a doctor warns
Dr. Nina Paonessa, from the Paonessa Colon and Rectal Surgery, explains that spending too much time on the toilet places extreme pressure on your rectum and anus. “On a toilet seat, your rectum is lower than the rest of your buttocks. As a result, gravity pushes down on the veins and blood pools in the veins. If you strain due to constipation, you further increase the pressure, this in turn causing hemorrhoids.”
Dr. Nina warns that you should only sit on the toilet long enough to have a bowel movement, which typically takes a few minutes. What’s more, you shouldn’t spend more than five minutes on the toilet. Unsurprisingly, one of the easiest ways to avoid sitting on the toilet too long is to stop scrolling or reading at the same time.
Why is she texting him to ask if he's finished? If he'd been there for more than 10 minutes, I'd be banging on the door and loudly telling him to get the hell out of there.
Yep. This would be me too. I would be making it very uncomfortable for him to spend that much time there. Although to be honest... I wonder what else he is so selfish and inconsiderate about. This is a big red flag.
The poor woman needs to invest in one of these ingenious contraptions and set it up in his home office. Revenge is a dish best served stinky. poop-64242...3ac6eb.jpg
My first thought was just use his office waste basket, lol. I wouldn't leave the house and risk pooping my pants to appease him. I've never heard of anyone doing this to another person. He's disgusting for doing this to his wife.
Personally, I'd be getting in there before him and setting up camp for awhile.
Yeah, good point! But if doesn't help and I really got the urge I would simply barrel through the door! Giving him 1 more minute to clean up before taking my dump right on his lap! Being gracious enough to offer that he can spread his legs a little bit more... Worked perfectly fine. Never ever faced any more troubles when he's taking a conference on the loo and I need to use it!
Additionally to this I'm wondering if the OP is located in America. Because in my European countries couples are much more 'shameless' - could be to tge fact that a lot of us grew up with only one bathroom (and a guest-toilett). But for me and my partner, having caught a very bad case of stomach flu erased any lingering shameful resentments! (And now I stop before I share even more TMI).
I find it very interesting that ALMOST NOBODY commenting here in this particular post has commented ANYWHERE I have been on this site where there is any THOUGHTFUL, INTROSPECTIVE, or REFLECTIVE content to be found. PATHETIC. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR BEING SO NASTY
I would bang the door so loudly that he couldn't have any quality time...wtf..don't be so soft woman...just make his quality time a nightmare..
Awesome! Simple solution, and a good way to demand respect
Poo in a bucket and leave it outside the bathroom door for him to clean up. Won't happen twice...
In a bucket? No, no. In his shoes. EDIT: And use his favorite shirt for TP.
