To refuse to have a shower? (possibly)

I just had a shower. Used my favourite shower gel, and nice bodylotion. I come out to find dh who goes "you stink, what did you just use? Havent I told you it smells vile, I am not sleeping in the same bed as you, in fact, Im going out, I cant even be in the same room as you".

I have been using this body lotion for a year. It is my favourite. I have been using the shower gel for 5 months, I love it!
I used the same combination yesterday, and he did not say a thing.

He said he would be back when I have showered.

Should I have a shower?

Absolutely not - go to bed and enjoy the space

Sniff - you smell lovely btw

Hell no! What a cheeky b*er. My Dh sometime makes these kind of comments, not to the extent that he would say he wouldn't sleep in bed with me though

NO. Wierd - what has happened to his sense of smell?

You could go for a walk round the garden or anywhere outside and the smell would be less overpowering?

objectivity · 05/08/2008 21:36

No. Of course not. Unless you then showered in Coal Tar for a laff.But then, being male, he'd probably like that

bluefox · 05/08/2008 21:37

Oh god no - in fact put some more on. Who's rattled his cage today?!!

However, smelling my arms now, it sort of smells like dry cigar... Could it have gone bad?

Quint...men are feckers...all of them! Don't wash for two weeks and ask him for a bout of oral, then when he complains say now you've got something to whinge about
