She wants to buy a new sink just because I peed in it once

  • This reminds me of the psychological experiment where subjects are shown a drinking glass with a cockroach in it, and then asked how many times the glass would need to be cleaned before they'd drink from it. Some people are so hung up on delusions of sterility that they'd throw the glass away.

    OP should ask wife if she's aware that every time she uses the toilet and flushes it, the turbulence of the water flow creates an invisible aerosol of droplets, some of which is molecules of urine and microscopic particles of faeces. Unless you have a hermetically sealed toilet seat, some of this aerosol disperses into the bathroom even if seat is down. This is not urban myth; it's a proven fact.

    The obvious solution is hire a team of cleaners in sterile suits to thoroughly clean the bathroom with high-pressure steam and bleach every time either of you use the toilet.

    On the other fucking hand, she could just get fucking real and get over her urine-phobia. The fact is that, contrary to what her mommy told her when she was a kid, urine is not filthy and germ-ridden.

    • Not a huge germophobe by any stretch of the imagination but I have always found it sort of strange that we piss and shit it the same room we clean ourselves.

      • Interesting point. A lot of larger, older British houses have a separate toilet and bathroom. The toilet room is usually just big enough for a toilet and a hand basin, while the bathroom has a bathtub and/or shower and hand basin, but no toilet.

        Newer British houses cram everything in the same room, and often it's no larger than an American walk-in closet.

    • The danger from aerosol droplets in the toilet is easily fixed; PUT THE BLOODT LID DOWN BEFORE YOU FLUSH! I have a sign to that effect on my toilet and most people just ignore it.
