””This is the strangest thing my hubby has ever done. He is a nice and loving husband, and I adore him more than anything. My hubby has always been somewhat unconventional. He is a computer programmer who is extremely intelligent, but he also holds a variety of beliefs. Both real and conspiratorial.

He has recently expressed deep concern about the environment and global warming. About two months ago, he became quite concerned about water. Yes, water. He’s concerned about the purity of water. He installed a new filter system in our home, which I really enjoy because it tastes so much better.

However, he is equally concerned about how much water we consume. It is not for financial reasons, but for environmental concerns. He made a new rule that we could only take two showers per week. Now, I like showering every day before going to bed. I really dislike feeling unclean in bed.”

“This has caused the biggest conflict in our marriage in twenty years. He grew preoccupied with how much water we used. At first, I just ignored his order, but he would turn off the hot water while I was showering. I started trying to use the gym shower, but it’s too much effort to go every night with kids. I honestly assumed he’d be over it within a month. However, he remains fixated on this to this day.

I badly wanted a shower last night, but I had ‘reached my quota’ as he puts it. I told him I was showering and that he shouldn’t do anything. But after about two minutes, he turned off the hot water. I grabbed my towel, went down, and began yelling. Tell him that this is the dumbest thing he has ever done. I also informed him that if he does not stop this, I will move in with my parents. Guys, I feel imprisoned now since I adore this man. He means everything to me, but I can’t take this anymore. Am I going too far by threatening to move out?
