I had an anonymous request to talk to the men about hygiene, so today’s TGH post is Do You Stink?

You’re welcome.

First, please realise that in most marriages the woman’s sense of smell is much stronger. Women are also more likely than men to feel ill because of smells. I think men should understand this and make some significant concessions because of it, but there need to be some reasonable limits on this.

I recall talking to a wife who was confused that her husband sometimes smelled really bad to her, even when he had just showered. Most of the time it was fine, but every so often it was not. When I asked if this happened once a month I saw the lights go on in her head.

As you approach ovulation your sense of smell gets better. If you find this is an issue for you, explain it to your hubby. Then use it to soften the “go shower” request by saying, “I’m close to ovulation, would you please shower?”

~ Paul – I’m XY, and if he knows what else is stronger around ovulation, he should run for the shower!
