Sharing bath water

Often me and Hubby will share a bath - this makes sense to me as it saves on water, bubble bath etc - does anyone else do this or would other people think it's a bit dirty? :o

    I know lots of poeple who do this. Unless you're unbelievably dirty it's not a prob IMO. If you're that bothered about saving water and cleanliness...have a shower!

    I do this with mr o but only if he doesn't use any shaving foam/shampoo etc in the bath so not often as i much prefer showers.

    Not at all. We get the neighbours round aswell. :)
  • We normally have showers but once a week we like to relax in a nice bath!

    I share with Mr tine - I go first normally because I like my water HOT and even when I'm done lounging in the water for 30 minutes (I'm getting every penny of heat out of that water after paying to heat it :rotfl:) it's still usually a little too hot for Mr tine...
    He lives an interesting life and often smells of lavender, rose or ylangylang oil depending on my moods :rotfl:
    Unless one of us (usually me) was really sweaty or dirty going in then we share :) And I particularly enjoy sharing with both of us in the tub :) makes a very pleasant evening ;)

    We always share too, as others have said as long as one of you doesn't work in the mines or only baths once a week then its fine in my eyes!

    My OH has been on the other side of the world for months. Grab all the dirty time you can, I say!

    Or is everyone else reading this differently? :blush:
