My friend came to stay for three days and we had a good time. But when he stepped into my house, he smelt rank. I did recoil, not from him, but from the BO. Then I hinted: 'would you like to try out the new shower?' He did have a shower and then returned to say: 'Can you smell the nice shower gel?' But there was little difference.
Some people might get some water on them and some gel but the washing fairy does not exist, you have to work at it or use a flannel.
He left early one morning (leaving the back door unlocked and me vulnerable) and emailed me to say 'there was a barrier between us, he can't be around people who don't want to be with them, he has to leave' , pretty much ending the friendship. Then another email inviting me to stay. In this heat?!?
He is rather sensitive and likes things just his way and has walked out of situations before, just left suddenly. There is something going on, somehow.
What to say? Not 'You fucking stick, mate' as that would put his back up.
