@afficionado: In Japan, it’s the other way around. When they go to hot springs or take a bath, they rinse with a shower first before getting in. It only makes sense though to get clean before going into a public hot spring.
Women now a days do not need a man to go and pick out new faucets at the hardware store. We do a search on line ourselves, look at a thousand different brands and styles, pick one that is just right, and buy it ourselves.
Although I prefer showers and baths don’t relax me, I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request. And she’s apologetic about it. If John doesn’t like it, he can stay home with the kids and she’ll go get what she wants. This is just a small part of keeping your spouse happy. I’m sure Elly does things that she doesn’t really understand, but knows it makes John happy.
you got it! some of us bubble bath afficionado’s have to have our bubbles! (and candles and a glass of reisling) then rinse off and lotion up…ahhhhhhhh….
“I don’t see Ellie here as hostile nor John angry. He is being the dutiful husband helping his hard working wife.”Maybe, but I see John as being less than happy in the second and last panels.
A young woman of my acquaintance used to soak in the tub with hottish water dripping on her big toe, a tub-pillow to relax her head against, a handy iced soda on the rim of the tub, her current Agatha Christie novel at hand, and her cat in the room to enjoy the ambiance. I can’t recall her degree of pedal dexterity with the faucet, but imagine it was advanced.

My ex-husband had that technique down to a fine art! He could turn the water on and off with his toes.

Ah yes…add bubble bath, lie in the tub as the water level reaches to just shy of the auxilliary drain, a flick of the foot, and Ahhhhhhhh.
Nothing wrong with her request at all.

Growing up with a mom is supposed to make you used to this type of ****. Then the wife takes over. Women’s inhumanity to man….
