Sharing a Bathroom? Cohabitation Tips
Sharing a bathroom means revealing routines. Tips on how to adjust.
by J. Courtney Sullivan
An ex-boyfriend once told me that he couldn’t stand two-faced women.
“And by two-faced,” he explained, “I mean the sort of woman who wears so much makeup that she looks one way when you’re out with her at night, and then totally different the next morning. That’s why I love the way you look. You don’t feel the need to get all dolled up in blue eye shadow—you’re just so natural.”
When we moved in together nine months later, the jig was up.
Living together has plenty of benefits, but preserving the “I just rolled out of bed looking this way” myth isn’t among them. To keep the shadowy side of your looks out of the bright bathroom light of your love, come to grips with which beauty routines he can get used to, which he can actually get in on, and which he will just never get.

This was a cute article. Whoever said that about the suburbs and two sinks was spot on. I live with my boyfriend and we’re lucky enough to have two full baths. Yay suburban life. We don’t really have to fight over bathroom stuff.

A lot of issues are made worse by tiny New York City apartments…the couples in the burbs can have two sinks and plenty of drawers. But New Yorkers do have access to many low-priced nail salons that also offer waxing at reasonable prices…and then the real solution on that score is electrolisis…just get it over with permanently.

I like article about woman: before and after make up. It is true, woman can be scarring with excess.

Learning to adjust to your mates hygiene habits can always be tricky, but especially if there is a cultural clash. I’m African American and my boyfriend is from Mexico; the day he saw my hotcomb was the day “Natural Hair 101″ began. And “No baby, it doesn’t matter what brand of shampoo I use - I was born with curly hair…Yes dear, our children will be able to use a blow dryer just like the rest of the modern world.”
