Marriage advice please.

[Atty2000]

The wife already thinks this obsession is out of hand. Well, there I was, about to start my second pass with Aqua di Parma (quickly becoming my top candidate for the most over-rated product in the universe- but I like the scent...) and my wife walks in with a cup of coffee.

Now, I love the smell of a freshly brewed cup but it absolutely interfered with my ADP scent explosion. So, what to do? "Dear, please don't drink coffee while I'm shaving?". I don't think so.

I suspect this is a no win scenario, so I'm just venting to those who might understand.

(but tomorrow it's Nancy Boy. I may have to take a stand.......)

Thanks for listening.

Hope you enjoy the dog house...

+1, yah there is really no good way to break that news...

yeah that was just silly. But I ask why is your wife in the bathroom drinking coffee anyway. I just lock the door

This isnt the Star Trek Kobayashi Maru no-win situation - there are two correct answers:

1) Gently, but firmly, ask that your wife to refrain from entering the shave chamber until you emerge
a) This may result in a week to a month of monk-like silence and celibacy

2) Suppress the biological imperative to protect your territory, plaster a smile to your lather coated face, and cheerily greet her with a "G'morning sweetie"
a) This will result in a momentary tweak to your manly urges, but result in long term domestic harmony - which allows you to acquire add'l products for your den

We may freely chest thump and grunt in the relative safety of these forums, but in the real world we do what we have to do.....

You could always squeeze a warning fart. That should teach her good manners. Apologize later. Always be kind.

+ 1 but dont apologize (unless you aimed it at her), it is the bathroom!

LMAO.....ROTF! Too frikkin' funny.

[lungho]

Either live with it, change your bathroom schedule or build a second bathroom. Somethings are worth fighting for, this isn't one of them.

[klm099]

Yeah, what we need is more coffee flavored shaving soap, dark roast, Blue Mountain, chickory added, cappuccino, Hazelnut, French roast; yeah, I could add another dozen tubs of soap....make them heavy scented to cover up all those warning farts

[dpmtherrien]

Why not just tell her that your shaving doesn't concern her one bit, that its time for yourself. Tell her that you don't bother her when shes doing her makeup. Unless you do, and that could be another rant.

[DaveNJ74]

I just lock the bathroom door.

[Shave Cave Dweller]

I just lock the bathroom door.

With a 'DO NOT DISTURB' sign.


She'll get the hint.

I can't wait to have a second bathroom so I don't have to wake up extra early just to make sure I have time to shower and shave the way I want to. I am the one that has recently changed my morning routine, so I am the one that had to change my morning schedule.

[urkel]

you could always tell her the truth and have coffee when you're done. but that's not how it played out. i don't think any of us like having our soap dry out when we're stopped half way thru our process. but then it gives us a chance to build more lather and do it again

[KeithS]

I didn't read all of the pages. Was the coffee hers, or was she bringing you a cup?
If it's the second, deal with it and say "Thank You"
If it's the first, you're screwed.

Shorten the chain in the kitchen.





























OK - I'll go back to my ironing now...
