Do you have any big romantic plans for Valentine's Day? Are you going on a hot dinner date with your significant other? Will this Valentine's Day mark your first date?

Just thinking about where this first date can be very exciting! What begins this Valentine's Day could lead to introducing this person to your parents! From there, who knows- maybe you'll move in together!

Alright, alright, we may be getting ahead of ourselves here. Let's slow down for a moment and think this through, another person, more showers, more dirt, more hair... more possible plumbing problems?

Do You Really Want This Person Using Your Bathroom Plumbing?

That means you'd have to share your bathroom with them too! Just think of the extra strain all that extra toilet, sink, and shower use will put on your pipes.

If your plumbing is being used twice as often, that makes it twice as likely to experience a problem like a clog.

It's important if things go well with this person, and do progress to the point where you are considering moving in, make sure you discuss the importance of toilet maintenance before you commit to sharing a toilet with them.

Prepare Yourself For a Lot More Shower Clogs

Just think about it, two people using the same shower means twice as much hair falling into your sink drains.

Not to mention that twice as many showers also translates to twice as much water being used each day. The same goes for your sink. You’ll be exposing it to more hair, toothpaste, soap, and even dry skin particles, as well as more water washing it away.

That’s quite a strain to put on your bathroom plumbing, so you shouldn’t be surprised when you experience more clogged drains after beginning to share your bathroom with someone else.
