Neither my girlfriend and I really would do that as a general rule. Though we have in the past from time to time for whatever reason. Mostly when one of us was about to get in the shower and the other was already using the facilities.
However, one day, you find yourself with little people - starting as toddlers. Closed doors are not something to stay closed but are rather invitations to "c'mon in" and see what mommy or daddy are up to.
To wit, the bathroom has become pretty much - whether in use or not - a meeting place for pre-schoolers. (Locking the door merely provokes loud banging on the door.) So you sit there - or stand there - pants down and answer questions like, "What are you doing daddy?" (which you would think would be obvious, but no.) Alternatively, "Are you poo-pooing daddy?"
In fairness, we tend to be somewhat casual about nudity. All three kids have seen mommy and daddy naked, and in a rush I have been known to shower with my boys - though never my daughter. (It ends up not necessarily, in the end, saving time to have two naked giggling boys shooting squirt guns at each other.)
So I guess we can't be too surprised that the kids do not see the bathroom as a "safe space." Further, as they get older they are getting more respectful and also somewhat more shy themselves.
So put this household down as an "unintentional yes." Such is life in a house where the highest virtue of a second grader is not self-consciousness, let alone bashfulness.

If my girlfriend is sitting to pee, it doesn't bother me too much, though I would prefer that she close the door. If she is sitting to do more serious business, I definitely do not want to see or hear any of that.
Depends on how much time we've been together. I've been 4 years with my boyfriend, and we've lived together sharing one bathroom. I've peed while he was using the shower or I have brushed my teeth while he was peeing. So I don't matter at all if he leaves the door opened at all.
My boyfriend and I never shut the door... We've got a completely open page relationship and it's incredibly healthy to know the ins and outs of each other; literally have nothing to hide!
I've seen him naked enough to give him ten minutes to use the toilet privately lol

When my girlfriend and I video chat, I’ve seen her pee but I’d wish she’d shut the bathroom door because she would look so helpless sitting on the toilet. Listen to how Bill Engvall explains it.
https://youtu.be/J-VIymEjLLkAfter a few years of living together nothing is a secret. Well nothing should be and pee is also way different. Kinda a multi tiered question. I lived with two girls a while ago and I didn't give it much thought. It was my house too. I'm a very good room mate but there's a chance I'll pee with the door open.
It is fine but I personally prefer to close the door when I'm having a shit. Just like I would prefer he did too cause I deal with poo all day at work, don't need to deal with the smell at home too 😂😂 but idc, his choice
Hey look, i'm 28, i'm at that point where every piss or shit could be my last, if i kick it whilst on the bog i'd rather have it so she can come save me right away without having to fiddle with lock first
Depends on what you and your partner find comfortable in your relationship. If ya been together for years yeah probably door is open but if it is only like the 3rd date than I'd say no it is not okay. 🤷♂️
We recently painted the downstairs toilet and took the door off to do it... we decided we might as well just leave it off as we dont often have visitors and they can always go upstairs :D
No, I believe in maintaining at least some boundries no matter how long you may have been together...
Except for pooping haha but it can be pretty amusing xD
I used to make my sister wait outside while i poop anywaysUhhh... you should have some dignity and shut the door. For one it's gross, but honestly it's my opinion so you do you.
My ex girl friend came over about 2 months ago and i walked in while she was taking a shit and got blow job out of it, i can't complain
Mom mom and dad do it... I guess if you're comfortable with your partner! For me, I'd be embarrased to! #1 okay maybe, but #2! Um I don't think so!
If Partner or not always close the door when taking a dump but if you are just applying make up washing you face or having a shower I don't think there is any harm done
If they’re taking a shit? Nooooo
But if they’re just gonna pee?
That’s totally fineI don't care if she pees with the door open, but close it when pooping.
Similar to the question I asked this morning. Yes it's fine. Both me and my wife leave the door open. Even her best friend leaves the door open.
Yes. Hell i do it with my friends. My buddy was in the living room tonight and i was taking a shit with the door open giving him some advice bout some girl trouble he's having lol
The only partner I have is a cat and I always leave door open. When I'm in the bathroom. Weather if showering peeing or pooping. And I don't do anything sexual with my cat that sicked.
My ex would barge in on me while i was in the bathroom every time on purpose for some damn asshole reason... and so would her cat (no lie cat was a total jerk too)
Yea ofcourse there isn't any problem
I never close the door whether i go for shower or otherwiseYes. But if your going number 2 door close please lol because I don't wanna smell it 😄
