Stop Using My Towel
This is an endless debate in my home. My husband takes a shower and uses whatever washcloth and towel he sees, which is usually mine. This is so gross to me and I don't share my towels. I don't want to use someone else's towel and I don't want anyone to use mine. I even use two different washcloths when I have my monthly. And I live by a general rule, if it touches my *kitten*, it doesn't touch my face. But he thinks I'm making a big deal out of nothing. I have now started keeping my towel/washcloth in the bedroom since I can't leave it in the bathroom without it being used. There are many towels in the house. There is no reason for him to use mine. How can I make him understand that this really bothers me and he is totally disregarding my feelings when he repeatedly uses my towels.

I resort to putting mine up on the towel bar after using.0 -

It is great, but freaky doesn't mean unsanitary. For all I know he could have left **** bits on my washcloth. And lets remember ladies would you want to share your washcloth during TOM. He actually used it during that time and I just wanted to throw up at the thought. Its disgusting.0 -
Sound like you need seperate bathrooms or what the hell, seperate bedrooms. Obviously, he may use your pillow one day and drool on it.0

haha, I feel you. I hate sharing stuff like that!0

Why is that stuff like that doesn't bother men. Some men can be so gross. Using someone's towel is like using their toothbrush. But my husband just sees it as I'm making a big deal about nothing and I shouldn't care that he does this over and over again.0 -
Wow, this was never even questioned in our home, or in my lifetime. We all had our own towel rack and everybody used their own towel. I totally agree with you. I don't think that makes us freaky, just touchy about anything that touches our *kitten* or someone else's and then touching our faces. We just don't want that to happen!0

This is why my SO and I have designated towels. We each have "bath sheet" sized towels, mine is white, his is grey-blue. All other towels are for guests. I used to have "towel envy" and steal my SO's bath sheet sized towel. He would get grumpy about it (as I have a tendency to leave such items on the floor). So I bought us new better towels, hence no towel envy.
Perhaps you hubby is experiencing the phenomenon known as towel envy? :laugh:0 -

BRILLIANT!!0 -
saw someplace there was a "his" and "hers" towels. Like on the towel it said his and hers separately. You can get that I guess.
As a general rule (sorry for generilizing here) men donot worry much about these things so you might have to just get seperate towels which boldly tell him that its not his and have HIS towels ready so he doesn't hav a reason to use yours0 -

Get a twilight towel. He will never want to rub Edwards face on his twigs and berries! hahaha.0

Lots of good ideas. I think I may need to go towel shopping.0

Personal preference. It seems to severely irritate you. Without knowing what you have tried to get your husband to stop, it is tough to suggest any options. I would hope that if you sat him down & spoke to him rationally, yet firmly about how serious you are about this & how much anxiety it brings to you that he may think twice about using your towels. He seems to be thinking that it is not a big deal because it is not affecting him in the manner that it is you. Keep in mind, he may just see it as (how can I put this) the two of you share "everything else", so what is the difference - so to speak. I would say let him know it is just one of your "things" & to "please do this one thing for me" because I love you so much & don't want to get mad every time I go to use my towel. This way, he gets to "do something" for you & you get the "desired result" ~ win / win. This seems to be one of those things he can not choose to ignore or you may grow resentful. Good Luck :flowerforyou:0

I seriously laughed out loud. If he does want to, then she'll know it's time for separate bedrooms! Sorry, I've never had this issue before. I wouldn't want anyone using my stuff either. Tell him you used his razor to shave your lady parts and see how he likes it.
Edited for spelling. It's late.

Wipe your *kitten* with his toothbrush since it touches his face? To a man you are making a big deal out of nothing but I happen to agree with this, this time.This is an endless debate in my home. My husband takes a shower and uses whatever washcloth and towel he sees, which is usually mine. This is so gross to me and I don't share my towels. I don't want to use someone else's towel and I don't want anyone to use mine. I even use two different washcloths when I have my monthly. And I live by a general rule, if it touches my *kitten*, it doesn't touch my face. But he thinks I'm making a big deal out of nothing.

How can I make him understand that this really bothers me and he is totally disregarding my feelings when he repeatedly uses my towels.
I cant even fathom sharing a towel with John Mayer who I happen to like lol. And I never use the same towel twice and when I am home and not on tour I spend a majority of my life washing loads and loads of towels. I just have a thing about once its been used its ready to be washed even though it was clean, and I was clean when I used it. I have OCD or something I don't know, but tell him straight up to keep his hands of your damn or just buy him a few and have them monogrammed or something so he knows whats his and what's yours. Buy him a towel with a hot naked chick on it or a big set of tits Make him happy and get him to stop using your stuff haha.0 -
Here's one thing about toothbrushes. You kiss, and perhaps kiss more than lips, and you freak out if he uses your toothbrush? This has never made sense to me. Just saying 0
-
Yeah but there is no food stuck in His or My you know what's when we more than kiss lol. The thought of someone using my toothbrush makes me sick to my stomach, but I totally get what you're saying too. My best friend/ex bf used my toothbrush once and I threw it away and I loved the guy like more than anything. I don't know why it was such a big deal but it was and the thought of him using it made me sick haha. For me its the thought of chunks of food or whatever in my toothbrush that makes me sick to my stomach.0
-
I think I must be the only one who doesn't care.
We use different towels for face and body, but apart from that we don't have his and her towels, they're just "our towels"
Although during my monthly the towel will go in the wash straight after and doesn't get used again by anyone.
If I were in your situation I would probably use something (or say you used something) of his that you know he'd hate, such as a toothbrush? I'd feel disgusted if someone else used my toothbrush, it would certainly make me listen to them!!0 -
Wash clothes are single use, then in the basket, I use a hand sized towel if drying my face(usually air dry it, just my preference, less touching my face the better) but i don't really care about towel, it's clean, you're clean, in theory he's clean... We've even used the same towel right after one another after showering together... I don't get the tooth brush thing either... I always rinse my toothbrush out with hot water before brushing so I don't thing I'm going to get anything that I couldn't get from kissing him.
Just outta curiosity, do y'all sleep clothed?
Changing the tune here, if it's really that big of an issue to you, I would recommend sitting down n talking to him and having him pick a color of towel, or just get yourself new towels, if all of your towels and wash clothes are one color(such as pink or purple) he has no excuse such as I didn't know it was yours, and the color might be enough... but regardless how I or any other posters feel about the situation, he should respect how you feel about it. If he just can't get it, consider using a clean towel each time? then there's no wondering, u know it's clean and that he didn't use it.0 -
I have a tub and separate shower, towels hang over the tub on separate racks and his is closer to the shower. I have a loofa, I don't use it on my face an I wash it weekly with the towels. He has no desire to use mine, he doesn't use a wash cloth. I think it's weird, but he just doesn't, and I don't use his soap, and he doesn't like mine.0
-
I think I must be the only one who doesn't care.
Nope, same here. I was like "I...don't see the point here?!" And then I read the whole thread and thought "Okay, I guess I'm gross" because I couldn't relate to anything. Ah well...0 -
Ditto on the Twilight towel, or if you can find a towel with some hot, speedo'ed model printed on it. Also: use his razor. Leave some hair in it. If I recall correctly, most guys I know absolutely hate it when women borrow their razor.0

Your sex life must be downright freaky.
"...and then he wanted me to put it in my mouth.....i was almost sick!..."0
