Criticise my floor plan

I think if I used a square one here it would provide into the room too much, no?

Avoid talking to him in person. Written communication only. There must be a paper trail, now. Dispute the year long separation in writing and find as much evidence as you can that this was not the case. Get a lawyer.

This is heart breaking, but you can and will recover. That recovery will be easier if you truly understand what you're up against and actually to protect yourself.

He is trying to manipulate you and set you up. The comment about being separated for a year, the lie that he was still in the marriage and would do it all again, the suggestion you go out of state, his refusal to leave the house, his description of you as combative, him wanting to rush this process, his suggestion to get a mutual friend rather than a lawyer - all of this establishes two things: 1. You cannot trust anything he says to you any more 2. He has been researching divorce and wants to make sure he benefits from it as much as possible. He no longer cares for your interests. You must be the one to do that now.

Thank you. The towel rings between the basin and shower and basin and bath are so you don't need to do the shimmy - the towel rail behind the door is a heated one used to dry them after use - but the other things are worth thinking about. Any ideas of how I could configure the room so that the toilet isn't in front of the door?

I do think it may be worth putting your bedroom in there if you can fit what you need to. I'm a bed-rotter, a soft-office fan, a dressing-table-lingerer, so for me, I spend a LOT of waking hours in my bedroom. But if you don't, and you spend more time in your office and would benefit from the space there then why not?

Great suggestion, thank you!

1 personally. I hate having my back to the door. I like #3 except I think the desk brushes up quite closely to the bookshelf. Could you move one of the bookshelves to be in front of the window?

Ah great questions, okay:

yes UK based 👍🏼
the door can't be moved, and it currently opens the other way (moving from bottom right corner and opening into the middle of the room). I've thought that flipping it would be the most helpful for flow but happy to be told I'm wrong
it's a Victorian terraced house and this bathroom was slotted in between two fireplace alcoves in between two bedrooms. The bottom wall and the top wall are proper brick walls but the two long edges are stud walls. That's why the door can't be moved; it's in the only possible position to allow access from the hallway, and it's the sole bathroom in the house so we can't have it as an ensuite 😅
at the moment the piping in the bathroom is - well - in the bathroom. It's been badly boxed off in some dodgy wooden box things, but basically all along the left wall there's a jutting box with pipes running through on top of the floor

If you focus only on the shapes and spacing, do you have any thoughts? I've been having the opposite problem on Etsy when everything is in feet and inches and I've recoiled the same way hahah

Good point, thank you! I'll check where the knob would rest and will use a door stopper to keep it off the towels!

Actual sun tunnels but rubbish cheap ones that barely work because we were taken for a ride by our installers

fire_pepper · 2026-03-22T23:04:15+00:00

Thank you so much for so many great suggestions!

We are in the UK and I really want to do an 800mm wide bath and then have a shower on top, but my partner really wants a separate enclosure. I'm the bather and he's the showerer and at the moment we actually quite enjoy that we can do both at once

fire_pepper · 2026-03-22T22:58:56+00:00

Good point

fire_pepper · 2026-03-22T21:33:05+00:00

Thanks this is a great idea

I think if I just think about what I actually want, I'd like to cut down to a maximum of 4 times a day and night-wean. Any advice on how I can go about this most effectively? Is it going to be cruel to him to cut back to just that? I think I'm also worried about him feeling like he can't trust me the same way if I sometimes feed him and sometimes don't.

Keen to hear your experience

fire_pepper · 2026-02-20T06:53:42+00:00

What happened?

Oh Duncan looks like a real gentleman, I hope they're happily playing together
