I have recently moved in to my partner's house and we are doing this . . .

Do you do this? Do you feel that it's too familiar? Showering together, brushing teeth at the same time, etc. We don't sync on purpose mind you.

Not at all, it usually shows that you are really comfortable with each other and have a close relationship!

I don't live with my bf, but we've showered together.. well mostly just to rinse off. I've wandered in and out of the bathroom while brushing my teeth because he was talking to me, etc.

The only thing I would ever draw a line at would be using the toilet - for that, I would want the door closed! But that's just me and my own issues.

I love to share the bathroom with my partner. I think it's cute. We were able to take one shower together before she broke her wrist...but we brush our teeth and stuff together all the time. Sometimes when I'm in the shower she will come in and use the toilet. Idk I think its cute.

Not everyone is comfortable with that, but if you are, then it's fine.

I'm not sure what you mean by "too familiar" Its as if you're questioning whether you should be that vulnerable and close to your partner or something? Hey you moved in with her, that's about as intimate of a relationship as you can get.

Depends on the size of the bathroom/shower Ours is not quite big enough and the two of us are big people ourselves. At night when we get up to pee, we don't close the door or anything, one person does just sit on the side of the bed and wait for the other, if we wake the same moment. I have had to get up in the middle of the night and come downstairs because I could not sleep and I've heard my husband call, asking me if I'm in the bathroom because I'm not in bed so he doesn't know where I am and doesn't want to walk in on me :-)

So far we are not sharing toilet time. Just showers and shaving, brushing, etc. I am also told that i can stroll around without my clothes on and to feel comfortable doing that. This is a little too familiar yeah. There's also the issue of being distracted from my routine and sometimes i just end up having sex with her instead of washing myself.

I can't shower together because I'm claustrophobic and freak out. Lol. And potty time is strictly personal alone time heck no bathroom is off limits on that one!!!

But everything else is good

Everything but using the toilet is ok.... I don't think I will EVER be ok with that one, as my mother had wonky boundaries and it makes me SO uncomfortable when she would never close the bathroom door when using the toilet when us kids were growing up, and sometimes she would walk around naked. (We weren't that free-styling kind of family, so it was just odd & uncomfortable.)

Taking showers, brushing teeth etc...all ok...even peeing..not an issue. #2...not so much. In fact, door is closed big time.

I'm also a fan was walking nekkid thru the house (as long as it's just me and him) or in something skimpy....now that I'm 'batching it', I prefer nekkid....in the desert it's just too freakin hot, even with the air on.

Basically...it's whatever floats yer boat. :P

Not me. I need my privacy in the bathroom.
