Boundaries please!

Today, my boyfriend threatened to break up with me because I still close the door when I go to the bathroom. He pees and poops with the door wide open and expects me to do the same. FML

If anything, you should be threatening to break up with him, not the other way around.

Tell him that’s fine. You’ll keep the door closed and if that’s a dealbreaker for him, he can go. This isn’t the kind of thing you should be expected to compromise on. It doesn’t affect him at all. And what’s next if you do give in?

Tell him he has 2 choices. He can pick number 1, or number 2.

Your bf deserves to be sent back to his natural habitat..the jungle.

This kind of power play most likely means there's something seriously wrong with him (or at least his upbringing)... I'd say risk it, call the bluff and if he really breaks up over it, you dodged a bullet.

Leave the door open, but install a shower curtain to give yourself some privacy.

I’ve been married 2 years and still close the door. I tell my wife off for not closing it when she wees. It’s not a pleasant viewing.

I agree with a lot of these comments. my view is, just because you are in a relationship, doesn't mean you give up all rights to privacy and individuality. His attitude is very alarming, controlling and weird. Dont give in. If he breaks up with you over that.. you dodged a bullet, hun. Good luck x

OP - That’s disturbingly controlling! And I predict it’s only the beginning of such controlling demands.

That’s a dumb reason to break up with you
