The secret to a good marriage is never having shared a bathroom

Half joking, half serious…

Everyone I know in a long, happy marriage seems to swear that having separate bathrooms is a game-changer - less friction, more privacy, fewer arguments about mess and timing.

Obviously plenty of couples share and survive just fine but I’m starting to wonder whether separate bathrooms are an underrated relationship saver.

AIBU?

If I didn’t share a bathroom with my husband, who would clear all my manky hair out of the plughole? No chance I’m doing that 😄.

we’ve never been in the bathroom at the same time though. No idea why people wouldn’t want privacy.
