My boyfriend (31) refuses to do anything with his hygiene. He goes days and days without showering. We live together and I have literally been keeping count of the days he doesn’t shower or brush his teeth. We are on day 5 currently. The smell is so bad. I’ve told him you smell, please take a shower. With zero action following. It’s not depression, it’s not skin issues. It is just pure laziness. He’s a good man overall and does anything he can for me. But the hygiene is destroying our sex life. I don’t want to touch him and it’s been a month in a half since we’ve had sex. I’ve already dealt with two utis and two yeast infections before I knew how bad the no shower thing really was. I’m ready to leave and break up. I can’t do this anymore. I have to wash our sheets 2-3 times a week cuz I can’t handle the smell of BO. Am I being over dramatic or is this VALID!? I’m losing my mind. He says im wrong and he doesn’t smell. AITAH!?
