Dirty old man....

Hello I'm new....
My partner (doesn't actually live with me) is so unhygienic. He smells musty when he's slept in his bed. Today I found skid marks on my sheet after he'd stayed over. I've pleaded with him to change his clothes/bedding and take a daily shower but he just gets very defensive and bad tempered. Not told him about the skiddies yet, not sure how to approach it with him! Advice? Thanks

He doesn’t live with you and he’s dirty. Why are you still with him?

thatstakingalongtimetoboil · 16/07/2024 14:02

Why have you got him as your boyfriend. His gross. Raise your standards

Dump the skid stain

Dump the skid stain

Howling 😂😂😂😂 but agree ew

pauletteRebchuck · 16/07/2024 14:11

Ewww, do you fancy him?

vodkaredbullgirl · 16/07/2024 14:12

Dirty bugger, dump.

FloydPink · 16/07/2024 14:12

That would be a dealbreaker for me!

KeirSpoutsTwaddle · 16/07/2024 14:13

This is an easy one.

Sorry Fred, I really liked you but your hygiene isn’t adequate for intimacy.

TomatoSandwiches · 16/07/2024 14:16

Please have some respect for yourself.... and your bedsheets and dump this creature.

icelolly12 · 16/07/2024 14:18

I don't understand what posters want from threads like this. You are clearly disgusted by him, why do you need someone to tell you the obvious? Get rid!

Watchkeys · 16/07/2024 14:18

A yes or no question for you: Do you want a partner who is rude to you when you ask him to wash adequately?

Just a yes or no.

hildabaker · 16/07/2024 14:20

Revolting. You need to end this relationship OP.

Deadringer · 16/07/2024 14:36

Rub his fucking nose in them, then dump the filthy bastard.

Roundeartheratchriatmas · 16/07/2024 14:44

Why would you plead with him ?

I would be spraying him with detox as I remove him from my home never to set foot over the threshold again.

MsNorburry · 16/07/2024 14:46

EU, tell him you got turned off.

sentfrmmyiphone · 16/07/2024 14:47

oh gosh this would most definitely be a deal breaker and a massive red flag for me!

i can't bear it when someone hasn't brushed their teeth let alone not showered.. yuk yuk yuk..

i just couldn't!

AutumnBride · 16/07/2024 14:55

If you'll put up with this, what else will you put up with? Do you want him around long enough to test the theory?

SeeSeeRider · 16/07/2024 15:04

@Creitty

Today I found skid marks on my sheet.

That would trigger the biggest ICK of my life, and lead to dumping him.

Not told him about the skiddies yet, not sure how to approach it with him!

You don't have to tell him about anything except that the relationship is not working for you, and you are stopping it right now, and that decision is not for discussion. Do you have issues around saying 'difficult' things to people (especially men)?

His bed at his home I think.

DontKeepScratchingIt · 16/07/2024 15:05

I couldn't be with a man who isn't clean, never mind have sex with him. There's never an excuse to be dirty

Sugargliderwombat · 16/07/2024 15:09

He has such little respect for you that he won't Wash. Please leave him.

LadyKenya · 16/07/2024 15:10

I know that I shouldn't, but some of the replies made me howl. (Wanders off to do something vaguely productive).

NewGreenDuck · 16/07/2024 15:10

You really don't need to ask, do you?
