Wouldn't bother me, I have to say.

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.

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!!

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 loves to watch me in the shower - fine by me! smile

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..wink

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 wink

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

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

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 grin

Is it the only opportunity he has these days to see you in the buff? shock. Sorry, don't answer that, couldn't resist grin.
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?

Ok, it's Grumpy old woman again! I'm not seeking advice, as I know what I could do and say. I just want to know if anyone else feels this way. We are both retired, so I usually have breakfast in my PJs . H has shower and gets dressed before brekky. I go up to have a shower and get dressed , after breakfast and for some reason like to do this on my own now. When I was working it was a mad dash so didn't matter. Am I alone in being a bit miffed when almost as soon as I turn on the shower up comes H to fiddle around with e.g. Putting clothes away , or to have a shave.?
