I think you're downplaying the heart of this story, namely that the woman grew around the toilet seat. She said she didn't need any help, but I'll bet it's pretty hard to wipe your ass when you're stuck to the seat.
Worst. Cyborg. Ever.

Leaving the batshit crazy toilet woman aside for the moment, it is crazy to not seek help for your mentally ill partner who has become fused to a toilet seat. Very crazy. Presumably he was out in the world with this craziness. These stories -- like the astronaut's -- always worry me. You don't get that crazy without it being obvious. Did no one bother to tell him his thinking was screwy? Is someone gonna tell me if I've gotten that crazy? Probably not, right? I mean, you guys haven't seen Dex in a couple of months. I tell you that he's looking for work and writing an opera and applying to PHD programs, but what if, really, he's trapped in our bathroom?

I dunno. People can get weird slowly, and those alarm bells that would ordinarily go off don't. Suddenly you've got someone who lives in the bathroom, and those voices that are telling you that something is seriously wrong are silenced by the fact that you let it get this far.

*worries about Dex*
Also, I'm not much of a student of biology, but - how the HELL does your skin just grow around an entire toilet seat?

I guess the thing is that I grew up in batshit crazy, so my compass can be askew. I'm always afraid that I'm missing the CRAZY signs, dashing in where angels fear to tread, etc. And I often have; have had truck with very crazy persons because of a giant blank spot where other people are receiving "back away slowly" vibes.
I like to think that there are failsafes in place to haul me back from an edge, but these loons never seem to have any failsafe mechanisms, so why would I?

i can't fathom how he let this behavior go on for so long without getting any type of assistance. a couple of hours or a day, maybe. but TWO entire years?
bse, please let Dex go. you don't want his skin fused to your nice, comfortable toilet seat. you're going to have to replace that thing if that happens, you know.

Man, between this and the 500 lb couch woman from a few years ago, things are getting really weird. But then again, it takes people to enable this kind of batshit insane behavior. So much for tough love :P
