A man has sought advice on the internet and opened up about his marital issues in hopes of fixing his ailing relationship.
As the husband in question revealed in his viral post, he is strict when it comes to hygiene which is why he wants his wife, who works in a hospital, to always take a shower before going to sleep.
Insisting that his partner is “exposed to a lot of bodily fluids,” the man went on to say that he started sleeping on the sofa after his tired wife refused to clean herself up after arriving home from work on multiple occasions.
While his partner says he is “overreacting,” the husband believes he was in the right for wanting his wife to get rid of “germs” before joining him in bed.
“I’m uncomfortable with the idea of sleeping in the same bed as her without her showering first,” the man wrote after clarifying that he is proud of his wife for the work she does.
“I’ve asked her to take a shower before coming to bed, but she thinks it’s unnecessary and feels like I’m being unreasonable. She argues that she wears gloves and takes precautions to avoid any contamination, and that her scrubs are changed regularly.
“However, I still feel uneasy about the potential exposure to bodily fluids, and I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request for her to take a quick shower before bed. Since my wife doesn’t want to shower before bed, I have been sleeping on the couch in the living room instead.”
After asking fellow Reddit users for advice, the man was met with mixed responses. While some readers sided with him and insisted the woman could easily wash up even though she might come home tired, others suggested it was his partner’s decision whether to take a shower before sleep or not.
“There is absolutely nothing wrong with a quick shower after coming home. And nothing wrong with staying away from someone until they do,” someone said.
“Do you know the precautions they take? She’s not getting fluid on herself and just leaving it there, you are basically calling her unsanitary when she’s probably cleaner than you are,” another argued.
