Sometimes, living with a partner teaches you surprising things about them. One woman felt like it might be time for her husband to move out after learning more about his questionable hygiene habits. In a now-viral video shared on TikTok, the woman explained that after years together, she just learned about her husband’s shockingly simplistic shower routine.
Much to her surprise, her husband skipped over several essential steps, leaving her feeling disturbed by his personal hygiene.
‘This cannot be how men shower,’ the woman wrote in disbelief.
At the beginning of her video, TikTok user @britforreal admitted that she was “so upset” after finding out how her husband “washes his body in the shower.” She asked her husband to explain his shower routine again. In the caption, she wrote, “Mom, I’m scared. Can you come pick me up?”
Her husband explained his simple shower routine.
First, her husband demonstrated how he normally scrubs his head and his beard in the shower. The steps that followed were much more disturbing to his wife. “Then where does the soap go next?” the woman asked her husband in the clip.
He explained that he normally gets some soap out and then does “a triangle” to clean his lower body. As he demonstrated the “triangle,” the woman said she was “scared for (her) life” and told her husband to “stop.”
Next, the man detailed how he goes about washing his backside. “Then you get out your Mastercard and you Amex right back here, then you’re done,” he described.
His wife was horrified by the simplicity of it. She couldn’t believe that his shower routine ended there. “That’s how you wash your body?” she questioned.
She told her husband that he needs to move out.
“You’re telling me you don’t even wash your pits?” his wife questioned. In response, he assured his wife that he washes his armpits “sometimes.” Yikes.
In her opinion, he clearly skipped over several other steps. “You don’t even round the corners of your cheeks and you sit on public toilets?” she asked him. Her husband seemed baffled by this suggestion.
Additionally, the woman asked her husband if he ever washes his legs or feet. “Yeah, if I get like a tattoo or something,” he answered, laughing.
“You can’t live here anymore,” his wife told him. Still laughing, her husband asked, “Why?”
Many people who commented on the video understood exactly why the woman was upset.

In fact, many of them suggested that her husband’s shower routine was “breakup worthy.” Several TikTok users thought they had to have a conversation with their partners after watching the video. “Now I’m convinced I need to have a sit down with both my husband and MY SON to make sure things are getting properly cleaned,” one person commented.
Upon seeing the video, some women determined that they need to ask men about their hygiene habits during the first date. For this particular woman, however, that ship has clearly sailed. “I need to go back a decade,” the woman responded.
Not everyone could see the humor in the situation. One TikTok user told the woman that her husband’s shower routine was so horrifying that it was “genuinely not funny.” “Help me,” the woman wrote in response.
