When someone said 'if your spouse doesn't know if you are hovering or standing - it is not a marriage!' it made me think...
(I'll go first but you have to support me on some level.)
My bathroom in my bedroom conveniently positioned the way so if I open the bathroom door I can watch TV while being busy on the thron. Very convenient. Never have to 'hold on' to not to miss the show!
What you and your spouse do that could make others go WTF? Or maybe 'lucky them, why don't we do it, hon'?
DD always calling us 'those Europeans' and I want to know if it IS Europe coming out of us.

I'm European with a large extended family still living over there and I don't know a single person who watches TV while sitting on the "throne" Maybe I have to turn my European card in since that possibility never even entered my mind

I was brought up in a home where personal privacy was expected. Perhaps the Colonies are not quite as barbaric as others think we are. If you wish to live your life otherwise so be it.

Americanized European here, but nope never seen my parents on the toilet. With the kids around, I am more liberal and keep the door open and keep an eye in them. They are still gated off and can't come in. When dh and I first moved in, and I had a peepee emergency while he was brushing his teeth, I sat on toilet and still held it in while yelling get out! He doesn't need to hear or see anything.

I prefer my privacy time also. So does DH. In the master bath the stool is in an enclosed area and out of line-of-sight to anything but the picture on the opposite wall. DH uses this one.
The other bathroom is small with everything in it ... and a door that closes. However we have a cat that hates closed doors if someone is on the other side, and will set up a yowl that isn't matched anywhere. I leave the door open a crack so he can wiggle his way in and out.

I don't see the problem. I assume since your TV is in the bedroom, you have an adjoining bathroom - and leave the door open to see/hear the TV.
We had a 1/2 bath/laundry room just down a small hallway from our family room. I would usually leave the door open if I had to go so I could continue listening to whatever program or movie we were watching.
If DH walked by the door or even walked in the bathroom it was no big deal to me - we WERE married, after all and vice-versa for him - if he was in there, I had no problem walking in if I had to take clothes out of the dryer or whatever.
In the mornings after he'd finished showering when getting ready for work, I'd take a cup of coffee up to him to drink while he dried-off and shaved, etc - yes, he'd be standing there in all his glory - big deal.

OK, I cannot get the jingle "I see London, I see France..." out of my head now. And we have one TV in our house. It is nowhere near either of the bathrooms. So if you gotta go, you miss what's on. Tough toots. But it does give me an idea for a different version of Game of Thrones.

We raised kids. Privacy wasn't even a glimmer in our minds. Between the kids and the cats you always had company wherever you were. No big deal. Frankly, I've never really thought about what others do while on the "throne". I can't imagine why I would. WTF?

When DH comes home from work late, I like to perch on the edge of the bathroom sink and watch him shower, as I sip my wine and download my day's happenings onto him. We pee in the shower. Often even when showering together. On a really good day, he lets me squeeze his back zits. That's my favourite. I'm sure there's more.

Some people read while on the throne, some watch tv.

you keep your stool after you make a dookie and keep it in an enclosed area??!!?? Do you have like a mini- museum set up with displays of the various sizes and colors you all have produced over the years?
And you guys are giving my girl Loony Tunes a hard time?

After my surgeries, I spent a LOT of time in the bathroom. Narcotics do things to you ou just don't wanna know about.
So I wound up leaving a sudoku book in the bathroom. Life was a success if I could finish up on the throne before finishing a puzzle. And weird thing, if I could divert my mind, it did help with the extreme issues.

Should I stop, dry myself, go pee and come back to the shower? WHO does that!!! And zits...yeahhh, baby! I love large black heads...and they always come back...

ROFLOL ............ Ok I'm gonna tell you something about DH. He is a docent at the Phx Art Museum and yes if the area was big enough he would do it.
Personally most pictures on a wall elicit a huge yawn from me but he likes them so I don't complain.

DH sleeps naked, so I (and if the kids run into the room in the morning) are greeted to the "at attention soldier"
I walk around in just panties or panties/bra
bathroom door is hardly ever shut...which can be disturbing actually....

If I close a bathroom door, I have a dog and cat howling to be let in. It's not worth the racket to keep the door closed.
Why is it that I can never go alone?

My daughter likes to sit on the bathtub and applaud. "Yay, mommy go pee pee!" Didn't realize she'd imitate me when I did that for her during potty training. Funniest is when she came running into the living room shouting "Mommy mommy, daddy go poopy!" So what else is new?

The most recent decency faux pas was when I had the flu and left the bathroom door open. I don't close the bathroom door completely, every time. When I was way younger and slimmer, my son and his buddies used to wait until I was in the shower then wait for me to slip from the bathroom to the bedroom. Doors right next to each other. Then they beotched one day about me flashing them. DH gave them the smack down. A bit of an embarrassment. The entire family was out camping. Middle of the night they are still up having fun. I need to relieve myself so I go to a dark spot beside the camper. One of the grandsons rounds the corner and trips over me.

We have one teeny tiny bathroom in our little house. It's pointless to try & shut the door because DD will come along to open it and the door will hit you in the legs while you are doing your business. I can't wait to have a new house with a bathroom just for DH and I and one just for DD. Right now we all 3 fight over who gets to go first in the mornings
