Wife needs to wee wee?

Question

OK here's a funny one.....
My wife, like most other women, I think, hates using any bathroom other than that in our house. Germs, comfort....I understand that.
BUT she takes it too far. If we are out in public and she needs to go she will hold it...hold it.... making me miserable and cutting what we are doing short. Then she has to make an emergency piddle in some place and the time allotted does not allow for a careful choice.
When she has the "15 min warning", which I swear becomes a "2 min warning" in only about 2 minutes, why can't she just seek out a more acceptable bathroom then?
Example: At Applebees....she won't go there, she waits until we are out the door and 5 min down the road to bring it up. Then 5 min later we are in an emergency and we are forced to a 7-11 or something nasty and she complains about the dirty bathroom.

TO BE CLEAR she does not have incontinence issues she just refuses to seek out a bathroom until she has no choice.

Isn't this silly?????

If I had to do a sit-down I would rather do it at Applebees then make a panicky run into 7-11 and just have to deal with whatever was in there...

Answer 1

For her birthday/anniversary, buy her a Luggable Loo...

Answer 2

Maybe when you're leaving Applebee's she honestly thinks she can make it home, and then all of a sudden she can't wait any more. Maybe you could buy her some of those disposable toilet seat covers to carry in her purse. I think most public places have a pretty clean restroom, and I agree a 7-11 is probably not very clean. Maybe you could refuse to leave a place until she does use the restroom.

Answer 3

Well, it's not silly! If you'd of seen the filthy bathroom during and after katrina hit, you'd do all you could to just squat right in the middle of the freeway is needed.

But all that aside, why not go and buy her some sanatary wipes she can carry in her purse so she can clean the toliet seats in public? It may help some.

I know where she's coming from though. It's so sick to have to pee and run into a damn public stall and see it over the top with sh*t!

Let her start visiting a bush or tree. :-)

Answer 4

That is crazy. But I have done the same thing. I worked at my job for a year before I would use the bathroom, found out the cleaning times and will only use it after a fresh cleaning. But I live 5 min. away. On the flip side I know have kidney problems for holding my water for long periods of time......

Answer 5

Works for number 1 and number 2.
Tell her to practice the "eagle" style,lol.
That's climbing on top of the toilet and squatting, that way her rump never touches the seat. This can only be accomplish by small to medium builds though, lol.
Another one is if her legs are long enough or the toilet short enough, never the handicapped ones, stand over the toilet with one leg on each side and semi-squat and release. My wife uses this method when she wears a dress,lol.

Good Luck, lol.

Answer 6

My wife hates to use public bathrooms as well and uses the 'hover method' if she is forced to use one. My suggestion - bring an anti-bacterial wipe pack with you and have her wipe the seat. It's better than making your life miserable when you are out having fun, and eliminates the 'germ factor' that appears to be concerned about.

Answer 7

Yea, thats pretty silly. You should get her a large designer purse (I only recommend designer because then she will probably use the large purse) and get her some clorox wipes. Tell her to read the label, She can use it on anything that she wants to be germ free, just wipe it off and let it sit for about 90 seconds. Its easy! My sister is this way.

Answer 8

Hey dude, it's goofy but you have to understand, women can catch stuff much easier than us. I empathize with the fact she could lighten up a bit.

Suggestion, how about she can some of those alcohol wipes or a can of disinfectant along with her? I make paper toilet seats and dump sum in the crapper to eliminate the splash effect during those times when a man "just has to sit down".

Answer 9

Time to potty train. If you know she will have to go, after eating at a restaurant. Wait at the restaurant for a few minutes, have more of a conversation. If she says, we have to go now, say no, I want to talk for awhile. Make sure she has had some ice tea. Talk about your marriage so you know she will have to listen without interrupting. She will end up having to go at the restaurant, and may see it's not so bad.

Answer 10

This is so easy to resolve. I use a travelmate. It is perfect for such situations. It is a perfectly designed plastic device that makes it possible for a woman to take a pee while standing. It is easily washed and comes in a plastic case. Very convenient and sanitary. Go to this link:

Answer 11

Yes its silly but Ive done it too. You really dont want to use the public toilet and think you can hold it and then bam, your back teeth are floating. I dont do that anymore unless I know I'm going straight home.
