My partner works Mon - Friday and has a shower at night as he has early starts. He mostly showers every night during mon - Thursday. But come the weekend he seems to lose the motivation. I know sometimes if you’re staying in the house you can just want to chill and not have to make the effort getting dressed. But some weekends, he last showers Thursday night and then won’t have one til Monday night. But then he will have one tues night wed night and Thursday night. I know not everyone showers everyday but I think if you’re in a relationship and you are on day 2 of no shower it’s time to have one. I know this might not be everyone’s view though so would like to get peoples opinion. I have mentioned it to him before when he went 4 days without one and he said it had been a really busy weekend (which it had) but no matter how busy I am I shower daily. Is this a man / woman thing though?

Does he expect sex smelling like a troll?

He can't expect sex or even a hug with no shower surely ?

Does that mean no sex all weekend? Surely that would incentive enough for him to shower?

Why does it matter to you what other people's preferences are? You think your partner doesn't shower enough and it grosses you out.

Tell him. If you aren't able to do this, you have bigger issues in your relationship than a partner with BO. It's a problem that can be rectified in minutes.
