Keeping Things Clean In This Relationship
Germany, Health & Body, home, Spouses & Partners | Romantic | September 28, 2017
(My partner has severe OCD. Thanks to a particularly disgusting scene in a certain movie about a hotel for dogs, they get sick if human hair wraps around their hands, feet, or face. It’s worse if they find hair in their food. Normally, I have to clean the shower drain before they can use it. On this day, I’m feeling really sick. I lie down and pass out for a while. When I come to, I hear the shower running.)
Me: *thinking* “That’s weird. I guess it was clean enough?”
(I walk over to the bathroom and start laughing. My partner has their head over the edge of the tub, and is trying to scrub as best they can.)
Partner: “Oh! Hi! I didn’t want to wake you, but I had to shower.”
Me: “Aww, thanks for letting me sleep.”
Partner: “Of course! You need your rest when you’re sick.”
Me: “I love you.”
