I have tried to get him to tell me why he does this, and his explanation didn't explain much, so I am asking you. I know it's very silly, but I am curious.
We have two bathrooms in our house. One is downstairs, right next to our bedroom. The other is upstairs, around the corner and down the hall. For the first two years we lived there, he and I rarely used the upstairs bathroom. We hardly ever went upstairs to begin with. But in the last 12 months or so, he has changed his preference. Now, he walks all the way upstairs to go to the bathroom. At first I thought it was because he was going #2 and wanted more privacy. But no, it's every single time. And the upstairs bathroom is dirty as hell. The downstairs one that I use, is clean. We keep it clean because it's the main one and guests would use it. I do not understand why he walks all the way upstairs to use the bathroom, walking right by a perfectly good bathroom on his way up, might add! I'm not exaggerating when I say he'll be SICK, bedridden, weak, etc, and he will trouble himself to get out of bed, walk by the downstairs bathroom, walk all the way upstairs to pee, come all the way back down, past the other bathroom, just to get back in bed! In the middle of the night, he gets up and wanders upstairs in the PITCH BLACK to use the bathroom when he could just use the one right next to our bedroom! Why does he do this????
I asked him why he troubles himself to go all the way up the stairs to use the dirty bathroom and he says it's because it's next to where he keeps his guitar and books, so he can go pee, then stop and play a few notes on the guitar or read a few poems before he goes back downstairs. Makes a little sense, right? But in the middle of the night, he's not going up there to play guitar! I'd say 80% of the time, he's not going up there and playing guitar or doing anything besides using the bathroom. He uses the bathroom and comes right back down, undistracted! We'll be about to leave, I'll have my keys about to walk out the door and he'll say "I have to go to the bathroom, one sec!" and he runs all the way upstairs only to come back down in less than a minute! WHY? Why would you do that?? I am totally baffled.
And I don't want you think I'm mad at him or nagging him about it. I don't care where the hell he does his business, I just am confused and curious what would motivate someone to do that! any insights, oh INTP's? :happy:
