My husband's personal hygiene standards are very different to mine. I shower every day and brush my teeth twice a day. He will shower once every two weeks (after I nag him non stop) and brush his teeth about once a week, occasionally more.
He gets annoyed with me for always nagging him to have a shower and brush his teeth. But he smells. I tell him this, not to be mean but to make him aware of a fact: I'm sure if I can smell it, people at his work can too.
He argues that he is a grown man and this is just how he chooses to conduct himself. He says he never showered more than once every two weeks growing up and it always worked for him so I should stop making such a bit deal of it. I argue that keeping up personal hygiene habits is a sign of respect for those around you as well as yourself. Frankly, I just think it's gross. But maybe I shower too much?
AIBU? And I being over bearing by telling a grown adult how often to bathe?
