My Husband Refuses to Bathe. Help!!

Lol,that is actually a really good idea! I don't see how you guys can let something like that go,that's disgusting.How can you have sex with them,aren't you afraid your going to get an infection or something?

Maybe you could take him on a "romanitc" boat ride, then when he is least suspecting it push him overboard. Bring some soap and a good scrub brush and just go to town on him. That will teach him to be a dirty boy!

I really wish that I had the answer for that myself.... My man has been doing the same thing. He showers maybe 3x per week if I am lucky. I think he is trying to punish me indirectly for things he suspects I have done... or do. I am so frustrated about this, especially not being able to get through to him!! All I want is a clean fresh man, is that too much to ask?? No one should have to beg their partner to bathe. I just don't think he cares about how I feel..... what do I do?? I love him very much and I am attracted to him, just not his continuous funk!! HELP!!

That sucks, I would just have a serios talk with him about it and how he needs to pay more attention to his hygeine. If that doesnt work I would call Dr. Phil...

You may never get your man to bathe. Mine takes one shower a week and in between he washes his hair under a tap each morning. (to appear as though he's showered, he works in an office). Sometimes he smells, when I am laying in bed beside him I get grossed out. This has been going on for at least 8 years. Nothing I have ever said, including things like "you are not using the expensive pillow cases because I can never get the stain from your sweat out of them. I literally had to throw the sheets away because I could not get the stain from his body out of them!

Tell him to shower, or_________. (you fill in the blank)

my husband has the same issues on occasion... what i do is entice him into the shower together... he never balks at showering when i'm in there with him

lol my girlfriend is like that some times to . i dont know how your guys relationship is but if u guys are in a relationship u guys should be able to talk about anything . tell him how u feel and that u really love him but u dont like it and if he really loves u he should be able to do it for u . theres a lot of things with my girlfriend and i that i tell her or she would tell me if something she doesnt like about me . its not a good feeling but everything works out . and everyone is happy

thats so nasty

I hear ya, married2baby, my husband showers once a week--if that--and does the hair wetting down thing in the morning. He also works in an office. I've tried everything: told him nicely that he should really shower more 'cause I'm more sexually attracted to him when he's all clean, that bacteria grow on his body the more he doesn't shower, and just plain that he stinks! I've even done the "come take a shower with me" but that has failed to work (come on, for god sakes)! I am at wit's end. Now he's on strike and I kid you not, it is over 2 weeks with no shower. I think it is because I bugged him about it for a bit and anything I ask him to do he thinks I'm "nagging" and refuses. Needless to say, no sex until he showers, which sucks. But I'm wondering if this is a deeper psychological issue here. He's had bouts of mild depression--could that be a cause of the depression, or lack of concern about himself? What should I do?
Help! I at least need someone to commiserate with me...

Could you tell him that with your first trimester nausea you're really sensitive to smells and everything but fresh out of the shower Ivory (or whatever brand soap you use) makes you sick? Even tell him you've been stepping up your own showering because you just can't take it? Ask him if he'd be willing to pop into the shower before bed just so you can sleep comfortably.

Also, toward the end of your pregnancy you'll start nesting and cleaning everything you can get your hands on. That's a great time to get paranoid about "germs" and require daily showering... "for the baby".

i am SO glad i don't have this problem with my bf. he has to shower once a day, sometimes twice. yea push them over board and go to town sounds like a good plan lol
