How do I get my husband to shower? Yes, I get everything set up for him. His soap, and shampoo. Our shower has a built in seat and hand rails for assistance. He knows how to shower, he just refuses to do it.

I have the same problem. My DH will not shower unless I force him by “highjacking” his potty time. I bring in clean clothes and make him take off his dirty clothes and get him in the shower. It is a struggle.0
