It is essential for humans to have proper hygiene that benefits an individual’s overall health and cleanliness. According to Dr. Robert H. Shmerling of Harvard Medical School, about two-thirds of Americans take a shower every day. It’s more than 80% in Australia. However, over 50% of Chinese individuals say they only take two baths every week. The frequency of showering depends on people; some prefer daily while some prefer thrice a week, but in the case of our reader, her husband refuses to shower more than once a week.

She wrote, “My husband works 5 days a week, and he only showers on weekends. I’ve told him that he smells bad by midweek, but he just shrugs and says, “I’m too tired after work.”For background, we have been married for almost a year and a half. During our first month together, I rarely noticed him going into our bathroom to take a shower. We both have jobs, so we rarely see each other preparing because I work in the morning while he works at night. Looking back, our schedule was funny.
