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.

    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.

    Sound like you need seperate bathrooms or what the hell, seperate bedrooms. Obviously, he may use your pillow one day and drool on it.

    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.

    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!

    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:

    Just get a towel that says. By using this towel you agree to admit you like other men.

    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 yours

    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:
