Getting dressed.

Is it the only opportunity he has these days to see you in the buff? . Sorry, don't answer that, couldn't resist .
Actually that would get my goat somewhat too. I like to be able to shower, dress etc in private these days and would hate to have my husband getting in the way. I'd probably tell him to 'something' off and wait till I'd finished my toilette. Have you tried telling him gently that you'd like this time to yourself?

Why don't you just lock the bathroom door Atqui?
I must admit to feeling slight annoyance if I am lounging in the bath and MrA comes wandering in to see if I know where he has put a piece of paper he has written a vital piece of information on

Indi Ha ha .... I did wonder if people would think this!!!!

I don't know the solution except to gently tell him that you "vont to be alone" I prefer to do my ablutions in private too. DH doesn't need to know which bits get plucked and which get shaved
DH always shaves at the same time as showering. Don't others DH/SO's ?

Take the shower out of its 'cradle' (or whatever that thingy is called) and turn it on him. Laugh uproariously as if you think it's a great joke.

That should do the trick

Well, after he retired, late DH usually showered and abluted first and then it was my turn and we met over breakfast. I wouldn't mind having him back to annoy me - make the most of it..

My OH loves to watch me in the shower - fine by me!

My hubby will shower & dress as soon as he is up and about and would do any shaving etc at the same time he seldom disturbs me if I am in the bathroom or dressing but what he will do is if the phones rings he always knocks on bathroom door to tell me its ringing ?? I know that I can hear it his excuse is that it is always for me,well I don't care who it is if it's important they will ring back.

My OH does that all the time with the phone - even when I am in the toilet - he hands it in through the door!!!

And if I am not ensconsed on loo or in shower, he NEVER answers the phone!! - grr!!

I'm always up and into the shower first, OH will follow me in so I am in the bedroom dressing whilst he's showering.. I don't mind if he comes into the bathroom to chat while I'm showering it doesn't bother me.

Wouldn't bother me, I have to say.

I don't understand why you haven't just told him straight that you want to be able to shower and dress in peace and quiet. Its not unreasonable!

DH doesn't come into the bathroom when I'm in the shower but if things go a bit quiet he's shouts, 'You alright in there?'

I never lock the door (just in case) so it wouldn't bother me if he wandered in but seeing as I'm chasing around after him all day I think he realises I like a bit of quiet and privacy.

jane10that would seem reasonable, but for reasons I d rather not go into,I can't do that. I just wanted to know if I am being odd feeling this way!

BTW it has nothing to do with being undressed, in case anyone is wondering if I am some throwback to Victoriana.

My OH is another of those that just doesn't seem to get that I have no desire to take a phone call while in the middle of a shower etc., and if I don't respond straight away he will hammer on the bathroom door as if there's a fire and we need to evacuate the building. Grrr.

I almost always lock the bathroom to prevent unwanted intrusions

sympathies.

I try to hide in the front room to the computer to escape the stress of two children with additional needs and mother with extreme anxiety and at that point mum finds about twenty reasons why she needs to wander in and out.

Oh and not odd.You must have a magnetic personality.

Thanks Blackeyedsusan

My DH and I used to bath together each morning - best time of the day. Would love to be able to do that again :-(

No, not unreasonable at all. I like to have the bathroom to myself too.

At the other end of the day . Why is it that if DH is seemingly engrossed in something on the tv, the minute I think I'll go up and read for a while, he immediately decides it's time for him to go to bed too ?

Oh yes ginny that too !

Sorry for your loss*Nanna Gill*. I just don't have that kind of relationship with my husband anymore.

It must be something they're primed to do - I can be lying soaking in the bath, hear the phone ringing and within seconds he's there. One heavy thud on the door...'It's so-and-so on the phone for you'. I do like my own time and space for bathing and dressing, too.
