ANOTHER EDIT: MY UPDATE IS REPLIED TO THE TOP COMMENT OF THIS POST.
okay so you might be thinking WTF is this post about? well to be quite frank it’s exactly what title says.
feel free to criticize if i’m wrong about this post, i don’t care. now to get into what’s been happening.
2 years in.
me and my boyfriend have full time jobs, so it’s obvious we don’t get to spend as much time together as we like. but when we are able to there is one issue. he always has to either poop or shower. but here is the REAL issue with that. when he goes poo, he spends 4-5 hours in there minimum. yesterday i timed his bathroom break and it was 5 hours and 21 minutes. he lets the shit dry on his ass, that’s how long he will sit there and his excuse was that he “loses track of time”. when he takes a shower he spends 4 hours maximum. the time he usually spends in the shower is 3 and a half hours. we had plans to hangout today, but guess what? when he got home he sat and watched tv, and then an hour later i asked him when we’re gonna go on with our plans for today and he said he is going to take a shower. i told him to please not since he takes so much time and his response was it is what is it and it has just angered me to the point where i left. im at a girlfriends house at the moment completely just infuriated because i’m typing this out to reddit right now because it’s just ridiculous. he doesn’t know i left but hopefully it hits him that it’s a genuine problem in the relationship.
our time has been little to none for months because of this problem and i’ve tried giving him a 1 hour timer for his poops and an hour for his showers, he declines. I PAY THE WATER AND SEWER BILLS.
im just wondering what the fuck to do because i love him dearly but surprisingly a stupid problem like this is causing emotional and relationship problems.
all i can do is laugh.
TLDR; boyfriend spends excessive amounts of time showering and doing #2, and it’s taking a toll on the relationship.
