Sometimes we use the other bathroom, same deal. I never find the lid down, she never finds it up.
I feel like this is some magic that should never be talked about openly, like we agreed without speech and discussing it would break something. Lived with many women, this has never happened.
I’m just being weird, aren’t I? I love her for it in any case.
EDIT: I wasn’t clear. I’m talking about the seat. We’re gross and don’t put the lid down when we flush. Yes, I’m aware that tosses bacteria around, don’t care. Unless one of us ends up with a compromised immune system, it’s not a big deal. And we pretty much never fall ill.
But he loves her for it. Which I think means she’s courteously flipping up both the seat and the lid, to be ready for him to pee.
He never mentioned the seat. He says nothing remotely suggesting she’s doing it intentionally. He loves that they have a perfect alternating bathroom schedule, as though they’re synchronized. That’s all.
I disagree and it rests with him to clarify. But she loves him for (among many other reasons I’m sure) the fact she never falls in if she’s creeping sleepily to the loo in the middle of the night.
I’ve never pissed on the lid while creeping sleepily to the loo in the middle of the night. I don’t see how people falling in toilets haven’t stubbed their toes clean off, walking around blindly all the time.
I fell in once while 8 months pregnant, a time when one’s bladder is frequently kicked in the middle of the night. The path to the loo was well-worn, no stubbing. I didn’t want to wake my husband and the bathroom lightswitch is outside the door.
Those are extenuating circumstances. All allowances should be made for pregnant ladies. All other times I’m a lid down man. That time when I was drunk and squished my balls while sitting on the lid were my own damn fault.
