This is the story people on the walks will not let me stop telling halfway through.
I asked Cam one morning how he would feel about going five days without a shower. He was doing three or four a day, and had been for as long as I had known him. He said he could never. Then he said, and now I have to.
What came out of him on night one, unprompted, while he was lying there unable to get into our bed, is a memory from when he was four. He was almost in tears. He had never told me.
Day two is where it gets strange. A silent car ride, a sauna, and a version of him I had never once met in our whole relationship.
In this episode:
- What he did in that sauna that made me realize I was not talking to the adult version of my partner anymore
- How we ended up at an Olive Garden that afternoon, unshowered, and what happened in the parking lot before we even walked in
- What he said in the car on the way home, windows down, that made me cry
There is also the thing he caught himself doing on day three that had nothing to do with his body and everything to do with our house.
And a question I want you to sit with when this is over: what is your four showers a day?
