ok we both live together and work full time with only one bathroom.Since we both work different hrs this is never a problem.But sometimes i have to work the same hrs as him then it is.I think 1 can be in the shower and 1 at the sink then switch and just work around each other.My bf thinks i should get up earlier than him get ready then just hang around the house till i have to go so he can have the bathroom to himself.Well i told him he should be the one to get up early if he wants the bathroom to himself but he said why should i change my routine your the one with the changed work schedule.

Can you not just take your shower first and put on your make-up at a vanity in another room like most couples?
I dont think he's wrong wanting his privacy in the bathroom. We share a bathroom and leave at the same time so I just take my shower before bed and it works out fine. its actually better because blow-drying your hair damages it alot more than air dry and a straightner in the morning.

Shower together? If that's not an option for whatever reason... Why don't you have one of you shower and as soon as you're out, go straight to the bedroom to change while the other is in the shower. Then share the sink or get a mirror for another room if you're doing make-up or something.
You shouldn't have to shower, dress, do make-up, hair, teeth, etc, before he can go into the bathroom and then you be sitting around bored until you leave.
I don't live with my bf but I shower at night and he showers in the morning, so when we stay at each other's place or when we do move in together, this will work out fine. Maybe you could try something like that.

Why can't you both just shower together? You are already living together. Or you can just alternate if that isn't an option. Choose your battle hun, you may love him and it would all end over who goes into the bathroom first. Try to figure out if this is really something to fight over and loose a relationship you may want.
Try to sit and talk to him, without yelling and getting upset. Tell him your side and why you think it would work. DON'T BE CLOSED MINDED and shut him out when he tells you why he wants to do it his way and why his side would work better. Being in a relationship is all about compromise. Choose the days that would work best for you, make a chart, write down the facts. Hope I helped...

I'm not really sure what to say about this but get another bathroom somehow. Just think.. when you do get married someday and have kids, those kids are going to be the ones in the way of the bathroom and you'll only have an hour to get everyone in and out before it's time for school. My only other advice would be to use the shower at night before work.

1] what doesn't he like about it? Do you let cold air in the room when he is drying off? Do you jar his elbow so he can't put his eyeliner on straight?
2] tell him you already have enough change - he should take a turn
3] offer to take turns getting up early, and for goodness sake keep a record!
4] can't someone shower at night?
Some people don't like sharing in the morning because they are not morning people [ like me - we have separate sinks! ]
Make sure the coffee is ready to go, your clothes and work
case is in order, etc., to make the morning less hectic.
Consider putting up a magnifying mirror in the kitchen [ the ones they have in hotels, that swing out and back ] for someone to shave, blow dry, do makeup, etc.
Consider getting a place with two baths or two sinks.
Consider getting a new boyfriend.

If it's your schedule's the one which changed the bathroom routine, you should be the one to work out a new schedule, without disturbing your partner. If you disturb this, you can cause all kinds of problems, including him getting really upset at home and work.
Work it out for yourself, and if you absolutely have to wash right before you leave, get one of those antique washbowl basin things, and use it, and clean the thing later.
Do the rest of your personal care, shampoo, bubble bath, etc, at your own convenience when you aren't underfoot.

If he wants alone time in the bathroom, he should get up earlier. While you get ready, he can cook breakfast and make the coffee. We have run into this problem at my house. I take my bath at night and he now in the morning.

Not your fault your schedule changed! Make him learn how to share the bathroom and if he has that big of problem with it, then he can change his routine.
