Dating with illnesses like Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS, or basically any disease where 💩 is the main issue, it can be more than just daunting. It can be embarrassing, especially on first dates, or when you're not quite ready to divulge certain unpleasant symptoms. It's even more uncomfortable when those dates include food - which is basically any date.
When I was in my early twenties, though, I had a first date with a pleasant surprise - and it's still one of my favourite dating-with-Crohn's moment.
We had spent the afternoon together, went for dinner, then we were going to watch a movie at his place. So we have a few problematic factors:
A) several hours out (which requires multiple bathroom breaks)
B) food
C) a brand new date's only bathroom, with a roommate also home
Now, can we just talk for a quick sec about the horror of main-floor bathrooms that are near a living room or, god forbid, the kitchen? It is very literally a 💩-diseased person's worst nightmare. When they are that close to where everyone is hanging out, no amount of fans or running water taps will hide everything that goes on. I mean, it's considered (stupidly) taboo to 💩 on first dates, but it can't exactly be avoided when your bathroom breaks are every two hours at the very least.
Anyways.
On this date, I, predictably, had to go.
My options were to either abruptly end the date without explanation and take off to find the nearest public washroom, or risk the dreaded main-floor bathroom situation.
Well, when I stepped into the bathroom, there was the pleasant surprise! The moment I turned on the light, a radio, placed on the vanity, came to life with loud music, PLUS a fan! This guy had rigged it up for himself and his roommate that the radio came on with the light switch!!!
Best first date 💩 ever!
Thank you!
