So Annoying!

So ever since I've been pregnant, my husband seems to not want to take a shower!! This really gets on my nerves bc I have an extremely sensitive nose now that I'm pregnant and I smell him. I wash my body everyday and wash my hair every other day to smell good for him. He always wants sex, oral etc. But I REFUSE to do that when he smells down there and if we're having intercourse I can get an infection from him not being clean. Anyone else experiencing this or know any ways I can get him to shower on a regular basis or at least frequently?

I had to be honest with my husband and let him know when he stunk and when he needed to shower/brush his teeth that I couldnt handle the smell and now hes self consious about it and always asking me when he comes inside "do I stink? Can you smell me?" Its sweet :) lol

Lol @luxah I have threatened to throw a bucket of water on him! It's just frustrating. He doesn't brush his teeth EVER cuz he has a chipped tooth so he says why make his teeth clean if their ugly. I'm deemed the bad guy when he tries to kiss me and I smell his horrible breath & refuse his kiss, but geez! & @kelley_bump, I'll have to try the couch thing! He loves sleeping next to me and cuddling so maybe it'll be a wake up call!! Lol

Same herea, but i changed that all around....i told my husband straight up that he stinks and that i wasnt gonna put up with it. Im a ftm and he makes me feel as if i am caring for a child....so now when he gets home from work he jumps in the shower, you just gotta put your foot down and let him know the deal.

My husband knows if he wants anything from me he has to shower and brush his teeth or theres nothing happening. Sometimes he will skip a day or two of showering if hes really tired and we get home late but he listens pretty good when I tell him he has to shower because im sensitive to smell so im not sure what you could do to get him to listen maybe tell him he has to sleep on the couch if hes going to choose not to shower lol.

Lol exactly! I shouldn't have to bug a grown man to shower for his woman! Ugh. Men! It's a love/hate relationship at the moment! Haha :)

Tell him he stinks and to take a shower for the love of all that is holy. My husband lives in the shower, but if his breath stinks I tell him and complain until he brushes his teeth. (This is normally before bed). But seriously, just tell him, or throw a bucket of water on him. Maybe invite him to join you in the shower? Good luck.
