One of the adjustments of married life is getting used to certain "habits" practiced by you or your spouse...
Now, I thought prior to marriage we'd spent a lot of time together, yet somehow there are still many daily surprises in married life. Who knew?
Married Life Surprise of the Day:
1. Men spend a lot more time in the restroom than women do.
I am almost convinced that my husband uses the bathroom as a way to avoid me. It's not a thing of cruelty, but when we both get home from work, and I want to talk about our day, vent to him about things that happened to me, and hear about his incidents, all he wants to do is grab his Harry Pottery Book or his Play Station Portable (PSP heretofore) and retreat to the guest bathroom.
It's always the guest bathroom, never our bathroom. Now I get needing some down time, but he spends most of his alone time in the can. I don't get it...
I've never spent more than 10 minutes in the restroom and that's only if I'm throwing up (I don't do this regularly. I mean throwing up because I've got the stomach flu or eaten something that disagrees with me,) or in the shower...but my husband can spend what seems like decades in there...the other night, I watched an entire episode of ACE OF CAKES while he was doing his business in the john.
This doesn't bother me, exactly, so much as fascinate me. Why do men like to read in there? What is it about this activity that makes them feel the need to become relaxed or entertained? Do they retain information better while they're sitting on the John Crapper (that's who invented the commode, if I'm not mistaken...) Is his hand-eye coordination suddenly stronger thus making him dominate his PSP game? It remains a mystery.
Maybe I am missing out on a very rewarding activity of life? What would I even take with me to amuse me while I use the restroom? Vogue Magazine? My Ipod so I can play solitaire? No, it just doesn't interest me...I like to get in and get out.
What is really strange is that I am still convinced that Kiko knows everything about me, yet I am still learning new things about him daily...and this bathroom ritual, as gross and personal a topic as it may be, is married surprise #1.
