Getting dressed.

It's not anything to do with the washing and dressing but the peace and time to think about the day in prospect. 'My' shower is actually in our bedroom so I usually use it when DH is in the study getting his day sorted in his head!

Atqui, I can see that it must be annoying having your privacy invaded. But I agree with Marmight and Nannagil, I would do anything to have DH back again and now find mornings particularly difficult.

Sewsilver, Marmight, Nannagil

And for you Bella!

Atqui It would get me annoyed as well. I like the privacy.
Time I got off GN and got showered and dressed.

Oh no, I couldn't be doing with him in the bathroom at the same time as me. I sometimes lock the door, but really know he would never come in anyway.

We always ask if the other wants to go in the bathroom before one of us goes in for a bath or a shower. It is an unspoken signal that they've had their chance to get in - even though neither of us lock the door!

When the other half, who isn't bathing, may sometimes sits on the loo seat and chat. We have a second shower curtain, so we've privacy and company. We chat occasionally when we're chilled and chatty.

Other times I listen to music or I sing - on my own. I lurve singing. When I turn the music on, DH gets my message. Well he would do, we've been married 48 years.

Next!

I always get to shower first and on my own, DH insists on following and cleaning and drying so I do not have to bend over. I never lock the door because I once slipped and fell in the shower, DH heard the bang from the kitchen below and ran upstairs.

Don't talk to me about drying the shower - it is a real obsession with my OH. I have no sooner got out than he swoops, as if I have performed some crime by making the shower wet! He also comes in when I am showering, which I am entirely happy with, except if he goes to the sink and runs the water, when I then finish up with an ice cold shower.

*harrigran" I thought at first....you meant that your DH was cleaning and drying you....lol

Atqui I read your post and thought - thank goodness, someone else suffers the same as me! I could list many more annoying things OH does but will refrain as I don't want to bore anyone. I grit my teeth (those I have left) and remind myself that one of us will soon be going out
