Controlling boyfriend mandates that shower 'dry out' after girlfriend uses it: 'I can't be in it while it's wet or I might slip'

Everyone is entitled to their own particular shower routine. Some of us control freaks have a highly specified process that we don't like to deviate from. It's a self-care ritual, and it doesn't have to make sense to anyone else. There are so many showering choices we have to make, either consciously or unconsciously. Do we face toward the water or away? Do we use a loofah or a washcloth? Do we wash our face in the shower or in the sink? Do we shower using hot or cold water? Over time, you hone your habits. And by the time you've reached adulthood, you're probably pretty set in your ways. In this case, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. 

But one man's shower routine got in the way of his relationship in an unexpected way. The problem was… it didn't make a lick of sense. Commenters quickly swooped in to set the record straight.
