It seems like the ideal thing for a couple to do is take a lot of showers together. In movies and on social media, it looks like a great, romantic, and sexual place. But if you’ve ever really tried it, you know it’s not always as easy as it looks. It’s actually pretty dull to put two people in the same shower stall. Couples who shower together often worry about bumping elbows and fighting over hot water.
1.Fighting over a room
Unless
2.The Fight Over the Temperature of the Water
People have different ideas about what the “perfect” water temperature is, and it’s likely that yours isn’t the same as your partner’s. One person prefers showers that are so hot they feel like lava, and the other person likes showers that are colder and more restful. You both want to turn the dial as you shower, but you can’t agree on who should do it. The unlucky friend usually ends up cold or sweaty and wonders if love is really worth all the pain.
3.Fights over soap, shampoo, and conditioner
Couples don’t just share water; they also share hair and body care products. A lot of the time, here is where things go awry. One of you might buy pricey shampoo from a salon, while the other sticks with the cheap two-in-one bottle. Your partner might appreciate liquid body wash, but you might like bar soap better. There are so many bottles on the shower shelf that half of your things go missing twice as quickly. If you’re unlucky, you’ll find out that your partner “borrowed” your expensive conditioner and used half of it in one wash.
4.Time and how well it works.
In theory, showering together should save time. In reality, it usually takes twice as long. You have to wait for your turn under the water stream for minutes instead of just a quick rinse. It takes longer to rinse, shave, and wash your hair when you and your lover are both in the same little room. Showering together can be less romantic and more irritating if one of you is in a rush. You might have figured out that you could have gotten dressed and ready twenty minutes earlier if you had taken separate showers after you left the bathroom.
5.The Myth of Love vs. The Real Mess
When what we expect and what actually happens are so different, it’s perhaps the hardest thing to deal with. Couples kiss, smile, and look great in the water in movies. What can the actual world give you? Floors that are slippery, hair that falls out, and shampoo that gets in someone’s eyes. When you have to keep people from slipping on wet tiles, it’s hard to be romantic. It can still be interesting and personal, but most of the time, it’s not as bright as people think it is.
In the end, things don’t always go as planned when you take a shower with your partner. It could feel more like a chore than a kind gesture when you squabble over the temperature, fight for space, and leave the bathroom a slippery mess. Still, many couples laugh through the mess and utilize it as a time to bond closer. Love is more than just how you appear; it’s about getting through little problems together, even while you’re in the shower.
