Are you a morning or a night shower person? The debate is endless and often a matter of personal preference. However, careers can also play a role in showering habits. For one desperate wife, her husband's job as a diesel mechanic is having a negative effect on their marriage.
The wife, who describes herself as a 'clean freak', prefers to shower twice a day. Her husband, on the other hand, often comes home 'caked in diesel fuel', stirring up concerns from his wife that he's dirtying their communal sheets. She says that despite washing as much as he can off at work, she can still see it visibly on his skin.
The couple have two children, a one-year-old and a two-month-old and the wife hates 'feeling sticky' after 'running around' with them all day. Her husband, however, refuses to shower before bed and makes her feel as if she's asking too much by requesting he clean himself. He also doesn't always shower the morning after if he hasn't that evening.
The wife's post on Reddit sparked a debate, with many people being sympathetic to her plight and pointing out how his behaviour could pose a health risk for both of them. Others pointed out that the nature of his job makes a difference, with one user saying they wouldn't dream of getting into bed without a shower after a 17-hour day, even if they weren't a diesel mechanic.
It's clear that the husband's showering habits are an issue for the couple, and only time will tell if they can reach an agreement.
