What wouldn't you do in front of your spouse?


(LifeWire) -- For a couple in their sixties, Cynthia MacGregor and her live-in partner, Grant, have few hang-ups about personal boundaries: In their household, the bathroom door is always open, regardless of what's taking place inside.

But MacGregor has one hard and fast rule -- Grant cannot see her toothless mouth or her mouthless teeth.

The 65-year-old Florida resident has sported a full set of false teeth since her early forties -- a "business decision" made because of chronic dental issues. MacGregor is so disturbed by the thought of Grant seeing her toothless that she even wears them while sleeping.

"I think I look perfectly horrible without my teeth and my teeth look pretty ridiculous without me," says MacGregor, a writer and editor. "We [use the toilet] in front of each other and bathe in front of each other. I don't mind if he sees me giving myself a bikini shave. I just don't think he needs to see my sunken face without teeth."

But not every couple share similar views on personal boundaries.

Doug Lueder and his wife Sam have wildly disparate ideas of what's appropriate to display in front of others, a philosophical difference that literally exploded one night during their courtship: Doug tried to impress Sam by holding a lighter to his backside while passing gas.

The bad news: Sam hated it, along with Doug's other explicit exhibits of certain personal habits. The good news: She married him anyway. The couple now lives with their two small children in Atlanta, Georgia, where Mommy teaches them to pass gas discreetly and Daddy, well, breaks wind blithely and chuckles about it.

I found the above article to be funny and interesting at the same time. There are very few things I won't do in front of my wife.

I have no problem using the toilet but I don't let her see me wipe my ass.

I don't floss my teeth in front of her either.

those are the only two I can think of.

Anyone else want to share?

I don't let her see me polishing the bishop. That'd be embarrassing.

But I do leave the "evidence" behind for her to find later, so she can think about what I was forced to do because of her inadequacy, and possibly learn from it.

But I've always been a romantic.

I came up with a new game called "guess what I had for lunch", but my wife decided she didn't like it...I had a burrito and refried beans.

Damn Trac....I tried to rep you for that one and the rep Nazi said no! That was a good one! Hubby and I got together after that lovely time in my life..... now he gets to go through the teen year with me......so much more fun!! Once our 12 yr old had health last year and figured out we have sex he is now enemy number one in her book.

NOTHING is sacred in my home... even though there are some things that I would like to be (I hate when he watches me getting dressed - undressing don't bother me though).

And, KL....

Why would that be embarrassing? I think it is HOT....

Anything that involves fluids or solids leaving any orifice in my body is nothing I'd like to visually share with my better half, from brushing my teeth to dropping the kids off at the pool.

I don't even like to just be sitting there covered up when he hands me toilet paper because I didn't check before I sat down, lol.

As for, burping and tooting, I'm not as bashful as I used to be, dont have to run to the bathroom all the time for that anymore, lol. We ate chili one night and played "dueling banjos" all evening. He brought up dutch ovens when we got in bed, I headed for the couch, said I had to draw the line somewhere. lol

On my end, nothing's sacred..... Boundaries, however, in public, I've been trying not to embarrass her too much, because it has recently came to my attention that my mouth, has indeed, overloaded my ass on an occasion or two....(cue post ass pic, PG)

As soon as I saw you'd posted to this thread I knew what it was going to be, lol, only thing I'm shocked about is that you didn't post pictures of what you don't mind doing in front of her, lol.

Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great.

I am the one with "issues" regarding privacy in the privy. The wife doesn't mind me seeing ANYTHING.... ewwwwwww.

I prefer to not even pass gas in her (or any lady's) company. I don't think farts are funny.

I don't mind hearing farts but if I smell it... I don't mind hearing or seeing anything, but smelling it... I don't have too many boundaries though. I won't fart around ANYONE. I'll blow up before that happens...
