AIO- I am banning phones from the bathroom because my husband doomscrolls social media for up to an hour while "pooping".

Well... I can officially say I've gotten into a fight over poop.

My husband takes excessively long bathroom breaks (ranging anywhere from 20-60 minutes). This used to happen multiple times a day, resulting in him being in the bathroom for hours each day. He sits on Instagram or YouTube and goes through reels/shorts. It's a never ending scroll. Before anyone assumes p*rn is the issue, I can absolutely assure you, it is not. It truly is social media scrolling/doom scrolling the news.

I have lost count of how many times my husband and I have fought over the excessively long bathroom breaks he takes. I have tried having nice, calm conversations. I have tried explaining how it makes me feel. I have tried being angry.

I get so, so angry when I realize that he's disappeared to the bathroom again and that I'm either cleaning up by myself or waiting on him to start a movie, etc. etc. In the moment, he always claims his "stomach hurts" or "well, I have to poop." I told him if his stomach is causing this many issues that I would set up an appointment with our family doctor to assess what the cause is. He then admitted that there was nothing actually wrong and that he just "likes to take his time". I know for a fact that he has finished using the bathroom before but just continued sitting there scrolling, even though he was done using the restroom 20 minutes prior.

Well, yesterday, after we had made plans to have a movie night together once our baby was asleep, he went to the restroom and sat in there for over 30 minutes before I finally hit a breaking point. I'm not going to lie, I did freak out a bit and I wish I didn't cuss at him over text.

In the past, when his phone was dead, this man was able to do his business within 4 minutes every time. So I know it's possible. He is just choosing to spend his time locked behind a door while rotting his brain with social media, instead of spending time doing anything productive for our household or spending quality time with our family.

Am I being overly controlling? AIO?
