DH have had many arguments this week about sharing our one bathroom! I hate it! We need a place with two, but this wont happen for a long time. Since he switched jobs it seems we both need to be in there at the same time in the mornings! Neither one of us wants to get up extra early either. I only have a week left before summer break, but how do I solve this problem now????

We have 3 bathrooms,a dn it is only the tow of us. When I wake up, he is already at work for 3 hours. ON the wekeends we ahve 2 sinks in our masterbath, so it helps since we can both brush are teeth at the same time etc.

We share and it's usually not an issue. He's at work long before I get up and when we are getting ready together, I shower first and get ready in the bedroom while he showers.

No, we have three and a half bathrooms for TWO people, so the bathroom in the bedroom is 'his' and the one in the hallway outside of our bedroom is 'mine.' I get up earlier, so I go to the bathroom where I can make noise and not wake him up. We have two and a half bathrooms in the apartment we rented before we bought a house, so we each had our own bathroom then, too.

I don't like to share the bathroom. I grew up in a house with nine people and one bathroom, so now I like to hoard my bathroom time without sharing with anyone

Then this must be like heaven!

It is Christine. I have issues when I stay at my parents house now, because I can't stand the constant knocking on the bathroom door!!!!

not yet a newlywed, but soon. however, we share one bathroom, too, but fh is superfast, brushes his teeth really. he takes his showers when he comes home from work. hey, if worse came to worse, we'd take showers together until he'd get out and i could finish up...it's quite fun

Craig and I share one bathroom, but our schedules are like night and day, so it never interferes with my morning hour during the week :) Suprisingly enough, after almost 4 years of living together, the only time having just one bathroom is annoying is when we have company! :)

Could you possibly split your time, perhaps one of you takes a shower in the evening and one in the morning? Or get the basics out of the way then move to another room to do hair/makeup, etc?
