Ask Sean: “My boyfriend poops in front of me all the time. Is that a bad sign for our relationship?”

When it comes to figuring out men, it sometimes pays to skip the girl talk and head straight to the source. This weekly column is my advice on your most burning questions about guys. And since I’m gay, I’m kind of halfway inside your head already. Let’s dive in!

This week, you asked:

“What does it mean if your partner goes to the toilet in front of you? I’m in a long-term relationship, and my boyfriend will happily call me into the bathroom to have a conversation while he’s doing a number two. Does it mean he’s too comfortable, and doesn’t care about impressing me anymore? Or should I take it as a compliment? He’s also happy to fart, burp, and generally be his grossest self around me. I’m not turned off by it, but I do wonder what it means. Help!”

How do you know if you ACTUALLY love the person you’re with? Post continues after video.
