Even my husband doesn’t think this is a problem …
A female netizen posted on the Internet a few days ago that she lived with her husband’s family after marriage, and found that the husband’s family shared a bath towel. These exaggerated living habits made her cry: “I want to escape”.
According to foreign media reports, a woman posted on Dcard, an anonymous social platform, saying that after marriage, she moved into her husband’s house to live with her family, including her father-in-law, her mother-in-law, her husband’s brother, her husband’s sister, herself and her husband.
The woman said that she had prepared a new bath towel when she was going to take a bath on the first day, but she didn’t expect her mother-in-law to say, “No need to take a new bath towel.” She thought her mother-in-law had already prepared it for her, but before she entered the bathroom, her mother-in-law took a slightly wet bath towel for her to use, which made her feel bad. She had to use the bath towel she had prepared silently.
After she took a bath, she planned to put the bath towel her mother-in-law gave her into the dirty clothes basket, but she was again stopped by her mother-in-law. “Don’t throw it into the basket yet, and wait for your brother-in-law to use it.” The woman was shocked, but she could only pretend to calmly confirm to her mother-in-law, “Are there any other family members who want to use this bath towel later?” Her mother-in-law also answered, “Yes, everyone will use it together and then take it for washing, just washing a towel every day.”
After returning to the room, the woman asked her husband about it again. Unexpectedly, even her husband took it for granted and said, “My family has always used the same bath towel together. After the last use, we will throw it in the washing machine and wash it with the clothes, because everyone is clean. The wet bath towel is just water.”
Because the woman was so shocked, she still carefully observed the bath towel usage of the whole family in the next few days and confirmed that her mother-in-law was right. The whole family used the same bath towel, and it happened that her sister-in-law just took a shower and gave her bath towel to her father-in-law. In addition, she also found that her family would use bath towels as towels, such as “wiping their faces and hands”, “wiping their hands after eating roast duck oil” or “cleaning the skin of fruits”. This article immediately aroused enthusiastic discussion among netizens.
The female netizen wrote: “There is an electric toothbrush, two brush heads (which should belong to eldest brother and sister-in-law), a brush, toothpaste, hairband and razor, and the rest is unknown.”
Later, the woman updated the article and said that she couldn’t stand all the unsanitary behaviours of her husband’s family, and decided to go back to her mother’s house. “Goodbye to her husband’s family, thank you for your hospitality in the past two weeks, and I was afraid of encountering more surprises, so I decided to run first.”
She also said: “I seriously want to persuade everyone that you must ask your partner’s bath towel at home first! You can’t trust your partner’s family even if you have lived with your partner. I was cheated by my husband’s good behaviour! He has lived in my house for six months and performed so well! I’m so naive!
Can you accept having the same towel for the whole family?
