Dealing with hygiene problems in a relationship can be really tough. This is what’s happening to the man in today’s story. He went online to ask for advice.
He shared his story:
My girlfriend of a year and a half doesn’t like to shower after work. She smells strongly like Chinese food and her sweat feels sticky after it dries. She insists on showering every morning, but I don’t think it makes any sense.
The sheets get dirty and smelly faster, and I don’t feel comfortable cuddling and touching her as much because I know she isn’t really clean after a 10-hour shift making food all day. I’m a bit of a clean freak (I sometimes shower twice a day, morning and night). I told her I don’t love her any less, I just wish she would shower after work. She gets sad and quiet or angry and says she doesn’t want me telling her what to do when she’s tired.
