Many men can agree to the terms of what I say today. Even though men agree, today, I am talking to the women readers. So ladies, my question to you; does your man, or a man you know, spend a long time (say thirty minutes) in the bathroom while pooping? I’ll bet you do. I know why he does and after today, you will too.
I know because I am one of those guys. Especially while being in a relationship, or being in a hectic place, I will spend a good half-hour on the throne. I’ll read, play games on my phone, anything really. Mostly though, I will enjoy the peace and quiet. I’ll sit there and think, ponder life, just enjoy the fact that I can have some quality ME time before stepping back onto the battlefield.
The one thing you can do is simply not pester us the entire time. “Are you done yet?” “What are you doing in there?” “Why can’t you just come spend time with me?”
Why can’t I just have some time to myself? Why do I have to constantly be around you? Why can’t I have a hot minute alone to think my own thoughts? What if I like the atmosphere in here? Can’t you just give me some time without giving me the third degree?
It’s not hard ladies. Us men are simple creatures and sometimes we just need a little space to get some thoughts out. If barricading ourselves in the bathroom for an amount of time is the only way we can get that space, then so be it. We aren’t harming anyone, doing anything wrong. We are just winding down, getting some alone time and having some space to think. Give us that time to do those things.
