I want Drake's cake.

OH. MY. GOD. You totally dodged a bullet on that one. I swear some people use the military as an excuse to become total tools. I can't imagine what he would have been like if other things came up.

Seeing as how 50+ people agree with me, we'll have to agree to disagree. I stand by my friend's story of her squeamishness about bodily fluid/functions turning into not giving a fuck said fluids/functions through her ordeal. Other people may have different experiences, but hers clearly resonated with several people on…

I thought it was implied, but perhaps I should have spelled it out in the first comment.

Somewhere I hope a bird poops in his drink. What a shitastic person he is.

Going through rough times really does bring out the best or worst in people. I'm glad he was there for you in your time of need, and I'm sorry you had to go through it.

My girlfriend had a different experience. To each their own. She said she didn't care after she had diarrhea and miscarried with her husband standing next to her. She was the squeamish type before and wasn't after. You can argue with that; it still won't change her experience nor does it yours.

We are in total agreement over bodily functions. I have no hang ups about it in front of a partner after being in relationships. I even had to argue with my ex boyfriend's best friend who claimed women don't fart. (Um, WHAT?!)

Good vibes your way. Just had a full hysterectomy for endo weeks ago and it's the best decision I've ever made. I hope you are able to get treatment that works for you.

Point being that my friend had diarrhea while she miscarried and was initially really embarrassed about it. That wasn't explicit in my first comment.

If you had read further in the comments, I clarified that my friend had diarrhea during her miscarriage. For her, it was crossing a boundary that she had never done in her marriage before, which was to shit and bleed with her husband to witness it in the bathroom via a very traumatic experience. She was a young…

No doubt!

I don't know, but the point of my friend who told of her experience was this was the first time her husband saw her bleed and/or shit in the bathroom. So crossing that boundary and going through a traumatic experience can be affirming rather than "ew, gross" as she originally felt it was.

Well, it was gross to her, the woman telling it. This was a Southern evangelical circle, so to her, it was embarrassing to have her new husband standing by her as she bled and shit everywhere in the bathroom. This was a privacy line that they hadn't broached till then, but her point was that crossing that boundary…

Sounds like you guys make a great team :) Hope you all are doing well physically now.

In her case, she had diarrhea with it, so yes, she did poop in front of her husband. /shrug

That is a perfect descriptor.

I hate that you went through such an ordeal, but am glad you have such a great guy!

She was sobbing when she told us; we all were. There were two other women present when she told us. She and her husband had only been married for only a year and desperately wanted a baby. They were around 25 years old. Not too long after she became pregnant with twins and delivered two boys with no complications.

At first I thought I would never, but I heard a friend tell of when her husband held her hair and her hand when she miscarried in the toilet. Apparently this was an hours-long process and she was in agony, because it passed before she could take the pain pills. Since then, I think that's true love right there.
