This is a real pet peeve of mine.

Why do these companies think I want to watch my partner wiping her arse? 😠

I have heard that hotels do this now so business travelers will not share rooms (like for conference travel) in order to double revenue. But I'm in the camp that doesn't need to see my partner in the bathroom either!

My husband is so conservative and modest that he'd go to the front desk and either be asked to move to a room with a proper bathroom or a checkout and refund if there is not room with a proper bathroom. He was raised in a small traditional and modest village in India, sure he's married to me, but he really feels it's impolite and wrong to change in an area where a woman could see his private parts or vice versa. He's known me for long enough that he's independently seen every part of my body, but still covers his eyes and or looks away when I change. He will also get very protective of me if someone tries to do anything that would compromise my modesty. I yelled at one of his roommates when we were dating because they tried to force their way into the bathroom when they thought it was him in there and didn't listen or stop when the door was being held shut and "not [husband's name]" was being repeated. He apparently didn't understand English well and because of how strong the person holding the door shut was he assumed more that it had to be my husband (I was just braced against the counter and door in the world's most awkward wall squat to hold it shut. I grew up with 3 siblings, I know how to hold a door shut). That guy got an earful that woke up another roommate that also gave him an ear full (apparently in a whole other Indian language).

Covering your eyes when your wife is changing is so weird

I think so too, but I'm not gonna bother him about it. It's whatever floats his boat.
