My boyfriend smells bad.

I don't think his family help him with washing his clothes and he's too lazy to do everyday chores himself, so when he comes to stay mine he smells of body odour and my mum and her boyfriend pull me aside privately to complain. They don't want me to tell him that they think he smells as he will be offended, but whenever I ask him to take a shower and put on fresh clothes he moans! I even wash his clothes for him but he puts them on without showering! I don't understand why he doesn't care about personal hygiene, but we've been together 3 years and I love him a lot, so I'm not leaving him over it. How am I supposed to overcome this issue?

What I don't get is how you get in a 3 year relationship with a guy who doesn't wash

give him a lynx set for all occasions; birthday, christmas, your birthday, Hanukkah and your anniversary. hell soon get the message.
Washing is not natural, people haven't washed for thousands of years and were a lot healthier, it is an unnatural thing forced on us by water supply companies making us pay for water that we dont actually need.

I'm done.:toofunny:

If hinting to him won't help, like suggesting that he 'might want to get a shower now before the hot water runs out' or something, then sit him down and tell him straight. Let him know that's it's noticeable to you, and other people are noticing it too. Tell him you can't keep running around like you're his mother and that he needs to learn to look after himself a bit. He's old enough to shower regularly and wash his clothes. If he's mature enough to handle a long term relationship, he's mature enough to practice personal hygiene.

I'm sure the message has already been received by her directly telling him to shower... He just moans about it getting him deodrant won't do anything.

Must be a white guy :lol:


I know white guys who shower twice a day....

post would be more realistically probably if you put non-Muslim but even then...
I didn't realize that washing yourself was an everyday chore.

If you were good enough, he would volunteer to have shower with you.
