When you're in a new relationship, it's easy to fall into the honeymoon phase, where you want to spend all your time with your partner. However, as the relationship grows, it's important to value your independence while still growing with your partner. It's okay to spend time by yourself, but how much time is too much?

In this story, the boyfriend uses his shower time as his alone time, which can be perfect, except for when it takes over two hours, and his girlfriend is left waiting. This entitled boyfriend is taking such a long shower that he's missing planned dates with his girlfriend. Even worse, he asks to reschedule because he wants to go to the gym, so he doesn't have enough time to go on a date. Remember, the dates were planned, so it's not okay to just cancel them.

Does anyone else find it strange that this man takes a shower before exercising? Well, many people thought so too, and expressed their strong opinions in the comment section. Also, don't forget to see the end where the girlfriend gives an update. Apparently, her boyfriend stumbled upon her Reddit post, and let's just say he was not pleased.

    found his ability to work hard, take care of his body, all while helping others admirable and physically attractive. A guy that does volunteering and aims to work in public service should be a good guy right?

    Story: Yesterday I slept over at his place. We showered separately. I took 20 mins, he took well over an hour. I had to keep knocking on his door to get him to hurry up as we had plans. He took his sweet time as
