My husband loves to take showers. No matter what the problem is, he is convinced that a hot shower will fix it. For years, I wrote it off as a weird personality quirk, and for years he tried to convince me of the healing power of a hot shower. It wasn\u2019t until recently, though, that I realized exactly why our experience of showering has been so different.<\/p>\n

When the Ogre gets in the shower, no one follows him. No one walks in ten times to ask him a series of increasingly absurd questions. When he showers, he just\u2026showers.<\/p>\n

And so I have started keeping a record of things I have been asked in the shower, so that the next time he tries to tell me that my stress level will be rectified by a \u201clong, hot shower\u201d, I can pull out this list and say, \u201creally? Really<\/em>?!\u201d<\/p>\n
