Our little "sit around and talk" group are all married quite a while now, but several have children of "serious" dating/marrying age. We talk among ourselves, but sure would never ask THEM this question...(who knows, they may be on here???), anyway, when WE were all dating, no one would ever have thought to leave the bathroom door open...ever, for anything. However, we think about it now, and it almost seems silly. You just spent the evening with someone who had their tongue and nose in your crotch..someone who knows you more intimately and with a closer view then any GYN,Urologist,and perhaps Proctocologist will ever know you, but you have to pee and SLAM, there goes the bathroom door???!!!!

I just posted this same question in the dating section to see what people in NEW relationships feel about this. How about others in LONG TERM relationships? Did it start one way and change to another for you? The moms in the group note that a lot of that "bathroom modesty" disappeared for them with toddlers skittering in and out on them, regardless of what is going on in the bathroom!!!
We also notice more and more houses have gone back to what was common in 40's and 50's houses, which is instead of having a separate toilet "room", the shower, bath, toilet, main sinks are all in the same open room. True, in the 50's home, that room was 10 square feet with an eight foot ceiling, and today it is 800 square feet, with a 24 foot ceiling, but the same question applies. Would you walk in and use the shower, while your long term lover is using the toilet? Or if a long term lover is in the shower, are you walking in and using the toilet?
What's the groups take on all this?
