Almost ten years ago now, I started showering every-other-day mostly because I have a job that doesn’t get me dirty or sweaty, and I thought if I showered less often I could sleep a little later in the mornings.
When that seemed to work out without any negative problems, I changed it to shower every third day. I followed that pattern for quite some time.
But when I split from my wife I realized that since I was sleeping alone I could experiment with going longer between showers. I started showering once a week on Sundays, and then began pushing it out evening longer. I went 10 days between showers, then two weeks, and then three weeks. It was at about this time that I met my current girlfriend and realized I needed to shower more often to not disgust her.
I started showering about once or twice a week, and then to my surprise I learned that my girlfriend was also a fan of infrequent showers.
Nowadays she and I both shower about once a week, but I like knowing that if I go longer she won’t really notice or care.
