My husband won’t let me take more than 2 showers a week – he did ‘the dumbest thing ever’ when I ‘hit my quota’

A FED-UP woman threw in the towel when her husband imposed a shower limit on her.

While she initially understood his intention, she said she’d had more than enough.

The Redditor shared her frustration and marriage problems in a viral post.

“This is the weirdest thing my husband has ever done,” she said.

She prefaced that although she’s had it up to here with him, her husband is “sweet and loving,” and she “loves him more than anything.”

“Divorce is not an option just to put that out there before the comments come in,” she said.

She admitted that while she loves him, her husband has always been “a little out there.”

“He is a computer programmer and super smart, but he also believes all sorts of things,” she said.

“Both real and conspiracy. Lately, he has been very worried about the environment and global warming.”

“About two months ago, he got real worried about water. Yes, water.

“He is concerned about the quality of water. He put in a new filter system in our house, which I actually love because it tastes so much better.”

Her husband’s water fixation, however, quickly went downhill.

“But he is also concerned about how much water we use. Not because of money, but the environment,” she said.

“He created a new rule that we can only take two showers a week. Now, I’m someone who likes to shower every day before bed. I just don’t like feeling dirty in bed.”

Despite her preferences, she quickly discovered that her husband’s new rule was non-negotiable.

“This has created the most conflict in our marriage in 20 years,” she said.

“He is obsessed with the amount of water we use. At first, I just ignored his rule, but he would shut off the hot water while I was in the shower.”

The situation got to a point where she needed to look to outside sources for water.

“I started trying to use the shower at the gym, but it’s too much work to go every night with having kids,” she said.

“I honestly thought he would get over this within a month. But he is stuck on this still to this day.”

She revealed when she finally reached her boiling point.

“Last night, I really wanted a shower but had ‘hit my quota,’ as he says,” she said.

“I said I’m showering and that he better not do anything. But about two minutes in, the hot water turned off.

“I grabbed my towel and went down and started yelling. Telling him this is the dumbest thing he has ever done. I also told him I’m moving to my parents if he doesn’t stop this.

“Guys, I love this man. He is everything to me, but I can’t take this anymore. Am I going too far in threatening to move out?”

Viewers agreed that the situation was much more serious than a drop in the bucket.

“This is insanely controlling and I hate when people do things like this. The amount of water used in a household is incomparable to the amount used by corporations that are actually damaging the environment,” said one commenter.

“There are 300 million Americans. One family suffering to save water won’t make a difference,” agreed another.

“Your husband needs to seek therapy about this issue. Take a shower every day.”
