[O]ur number one tip for sharing a bathroom is this: Don't.
A survey was done by some homebuilding association that showed that relationship happiness within a dwelling increased with the number of bathrooms available. Interestingly, there was no cutoff: even above a one person/one bathroom ratio, the people just got happier and happier. Even if it means renting a porta-potty and sticking it on the patio, you will be happier. I get that it's not always practical, but whenever possible, try to accumulate as many bathrooms as possible. I have always suspected that the woman who used to own this house let it go because (1) she had a boyfriend and (2) there's but one bathroom, and a small one at that.
