BF coming in when I'm in the shower!

My BF has a rather irritating habit of coming the bathroom when I'm in the shower and I really don't like it. I don't think there's anything sexual about it (honestly!), he just doesn't seem to think it's a big deal if he wants to come in and talk to me while I'm washing my hair or whatever.

I've told him I don't appreciate being walked in on and would actually rather have the time to myself. He thought this was strange and said 'it's not like I've never seen you naked before' Angry but has reluctantly agreed not to keep walking in on me.

So today, rather than bursting in as usual, he was knocking on the door. I could hear he was saying something but couldn't make out the words over the sound of the water and the music I had on. Figuring it must be something important as we'd only just had a conversation about how I prefer not to be bothered while showering, I got out of the shower (conditioner still on), wrapped myself in a towel and traipsed across to the door (leaving a trail of water) to see what he wanted.

The message which he'd found so vital to relay to me was that the pizza he'd put in for lunch would be ready in ten minutes Confused

He says I'm ungrateful because he only wanted to let me know so it wouldn't get cold. I think he should have waited until I was out the shower to tell me lunch was ready!

AIBU to be annoyed and to wish I could have just fifteen minutes of privacy?! Does anyone else's partner do this?

All this pizza talk. Someone needs to cook me one - let me know when it's nearly ready.

SmileEachDay · 30/05/2017 10:44

3 minutes!! I need to investigate this.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 30/05/2017 10:46

It comes with a special tray on which to microwave it Grin

Grin

A tray?! Remarkable...

ElinorRigby · 30/05/2017 10:52

I would leave any bastard who presented me with microwaveable pizza.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 30/05/2017 10:53

It's food heaven - although the box probably has more nutritional value Grin

NoLoveofMine · 30/05/2017 10:59

So ungrateful ElinorRigby. Could you imagine the outcry if a man said that about a woman who'd been slaving away for three minutes getting the pizza on its tray and into the microwave Shock

You say that, but the bastard cellophane is a nightmare to remove Shock

Then you have to leave it for a minute to fester stand

I'm guessing that 8/10 times you don't leave it for a minute and burn your mouth on cheese that is hotter than the fires of hell, Liva?

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 30/05/2017 12:13

Oh yes. I would like to say it's a mistake you only make once but I would be lying Blush

If you cook it too long it burns... that's a bit manky Grin

SmileEachDay · 30/05/2017 12:18

Manky but you still eat it, right? I would

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 30/05/2017 12:20

Yup Grin Rude not to really actually I'm too lazy not to

ElinorRigby · 30/05/2017 12:23

Am I right in thinking that the average microwaveable pizza gives more satisfaction than the average husband?

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 30/05/2017 12:28

Yes it certainly does! Satisfaction guaranteed in 3 minutes Grin

ElinorRigby · 30/05/2017 12:30

That seems a little too quick.

SmileEachDay · 30/05/2017 12:30

With only the minor risk of third degree burns to the tongue.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 30/05/2017 12:57

Quick but means that you can do it during the commercial break so convenient really Grin

@Livia

Lots of women prefer to see a female doctor for certain issues. I am not bothered. But if you went to the Dr and said 'I would like to see a female GP', presumably it would be okay for them to say 'actually sorry but I don't mind a male GP so you will have suck it up'

I hope that those of you with children are teaching them that other people's boundaries are to be respected, even if they seem different to yours.
