I dont really know. There can be alot beneath the surface of that statement. Something may have happened to him in the past that has him sensitized to a particular issue. He may not want to express his real feelings, because it may make him look vulnerable. Thats what I would guess, but once again there can be hundreds of issues that he has not dealt with in his life.

bahama mama's answer sounds good to me. something happened to him that more than likely didn't have a positive effect on him. thus the touchiness of the topic.

is he the open type that would talk to you?? if yes, give him time and he'll problably tell you.

[Cocoa]

Aww yes he's open. I had to draggggggggggggggg it out of him. I was just wondering what is so sensitive about using the bathroom (#1) and not having NO one, not even your woman, come in the bathroom to get something.....hmmmm :rolleyes:

[mesinya]

Some people don't like there privacy invaded by other's. I don't think that you should invade his privacy,if he doesn't feel comfortable with you in there with him. Now if you are invited then that is another thing.

[Cocoa]

Well bad experiences can trig off his need for privacy. I respect it, but not even to come get something from the medicine chest? Sheesh.

[Bahama Mama]

Mmm, I am not used to a crowd when I am in the bathroom either, nor do I think I would be very receptive to a crowd, even if it is my significant other. We all have different comfort levels in various situations, maybe his comfort level isnt to that point where he feels comfortable for you to be in the bathroom with him. It may be some harmless shyness, however if it occurs in other 'intimate' settings where a comfort level should have naturally been built up, then it may be something that you and him may have to consult a counsellor about, but I am no pyschiatrist, just my thoughts :)

i understand that people need their privacy but i think there is more than what he is saying.Going to the bathroom to do #1 is not usually a biggy.talk to him about it again if he is still set on his privacy, give it to him.dont invade his space or else u might loose him.

[Cocoa]

Thanks for the replies. It seem that he had some bad experience as a child. I just leave it alone. However, he welcomed me coming to the medicaine chest while he conducts business.

I must say that I find the whole topic distasteful. Why would anyone be interested in what a person is doing in the bathroom. That is so gross to me and I can't really identify with this. If you are having a realtionship with a man in a context that is friendship. Why is this occurring in the first place?

[shakeri]

pondadat do u understand what cocoa was saying? i dont think so! its not like she wants to sit and watch him DO #1 OR #2.

[Arch_Angel]

its not like she wants to sit and watch him DO #1 OR #2.
LoL! You mean that's not a romantic thing to do? darn. Scratch that off my list. :eusa_whis

[Pondadat]

Okay Shakeri, You are saying that I have made some type of error here. What? may I ask is the situation.. Feel free to explain it to me.

[Nastro]

I am a man and I don't know what that means... go figure

[Cocoa]

Well I was just asking. He is a friend of mine and gets very sensitive over that. I just left him alone yah and wait.

[Nastro]

Yeah, sometimes you can do that. Sometimes though you have to know what buttons to push to get your desired response.

[Cocoa]

Hmm desired response ha. All I wanted was to get something from the medicaine chest. I don't care bout nothing else.
