My girlfriend has many wonderful qualities and I love her. But being that we are in a drought, I find her long showers usually average at least 30 min and are often longer, pretty unconscionable. Last night after another one of her marathon showers, I said you know we have a severe drought. 45 minutes is too long. And while I take 5 min showers, I do realize women have more to do in there. She said "I'll shower as long as I want." And then something to the effect of "you didn't have to move in if you don't like it."

Meanwhile I pay 70% of the rent, since I earn much more than her. I was really put off by her comment. I don't like to find arguments but I'm really turned off by her selfishness in this regard. It makes me wonder if she even knows how bad a drought we have? Not that her actions alone are using up all our water, but it's still not right in my opinion.

By the way, we're both in out 40s.
Thoughts?

Thoughts?

It's amusing what folks bring up on Internet forums.

Yes. She is being inconsiderate on her water usage and selfishness. She probably won't change her behavior.
Time to move back out?

This is how some girls take care of things. Perhaps you are missing that. Try joining her sometime - perhaps with candles, music and even cool champagne.

This thread is useless without a video.

What does mentioning your ages relevant, btw?

I would think that one of her wonderful qualities is that she's really, really clean.

She's worse than the guy in Rancho Santa Fe who used a million gallons of water to irrigate his property!
