Today, my boyfriend pointed out that the water bill is getting kind of high. I suggested that we shower together to save water. He said he'd rather deal with the high water bill. FML

Why do you imply that he's gay or sexually confused? He may either not see his girlfriend attractive, or he needs some privacy and a place he can be alone, or he may be shy and not liking the thought of cleaning himself near the significant other, or maybe. Just maybe it's not his thing to shower with other people. Or the shower may be barely large enough for two people and it would be more of a hassle trying to fit Is there anything special showering with your gf anyway? It's just a regular shower anyway

i agree with the people saying that this isn't that big of a deal. to be honest i would have probably said the same thing as him. once in a while is great, but every day to save money... that would drive me crazy. showers are a time to think,reflect etc. having another person in there cld become crowded and irritating.

You gotta remember, most of these people are teens & still have that romantic idea of what love is! I've been married over 23 years & we shower separately, always have!

Well to be honest, I understand him. Once and a while it’s fun, but if I had to shower with my boyfriend everyday, it would drive me mad. Plus, there are other ways to reduce your bill. - turn the tap off when you are brushing your teeth - avoid baths - have an economy flush installed in your toilets - use a dishwasher instead of washing by hand if you have one (unlike what most people think, dishwashers are more eco-friendly if you run it when it is completely full) - same for the laundry machine, make sure to run it only when it is fully loaded Small gestures, big savings :)

You're right. You gotta remember, most of these people are teens & still have that romantic idea of what love is! I've been married over 23 years & we shower separately, always have!

Turning the water off while you are washing your body can also help. I turn the water off right after I wash the shampoo out. Don't turn it back on until after my hair is has conditioner in it and my whole body is sudsed up. Some people might not like this, but if it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.

You must waste a lot of water for it to be high... Our sink has a constant drip that our landlord hasn't fixed and we pay $11 a month

Well maybe he isn't ready to be naked with you or something similar. Sorry that you are unhappy but just wait, he may come around.

Lovely, I love showering with a girl. Count me in if you want to save on water.
