H Smells Bad

My H has been very stressed for the last month. As a result, his body odor has changed, and he now smells like onions and/or garlic pretty often. It stinks up the bed. I wake up in the middle of the night and get really nauseous when I smell him! I don't know what to do about it. Should I tell him? He has been very sensitive lately and feeling down about himself, so I don't want to make him feel worse, but jeez. He is really stinky! He showers and wears deodorant. And no, we do not eat a lot of onions and garlic. I'm not sure how to remedy the situation.

Re: H Smells Bad

  • Have him eat less garlic and onions and make him shower before bed...maybe that will help?

    Oops I read you DO eat a lot of onions and garlic...lol!!  It sounds like stress hormones (which makes sense) but I don't know what you can do about it besides sanitizing and deoderizing him before bed ;)

  • Does he use a deodorizing soap? Maybe switch up his deodorant as well. Does he shower before bed or in the morning? I would think showering before bed would help too for you but not for work.

    I would share with him because like pp said others could be smelling it.

    Definitely wash the sheets. I know I have to wash ours more frequently during warmer weather.
