Have you ever been repulsed by DH?

Jacques715 · May 2010

I guess this is a confession of sorts.

Last night, DH asked me to get into the shower with him. I was so tired and really was not in the mood but also know I need to make an effort to keep in that department to keep our marriage strong. Well, I get in and we start making out and his breath totally smells like he just inhaled 10 cloves of garlic. He kept trying to kiss me but I kept making my way towards his neck instead because I could not bear to smell, taste his garlic breath. I was so grossed out that I could not get into sex AT ALL.

I feel bad like I should have said something but I went right on pretending like everything was all good.

yes.

When he doesn't shave for a week and in the morning, his breath is awful.

Absolutely. For some reason he likes to have a glass of OJ before bed sometimes, then when he comes and tries to kiss me I want to gag. Something about the way his breathe smells and how he tastes is repulsive.

When DH used to smoke it grossed me out so much! He would come to bed smelling like an ash tray. Gross! He has since quit and has been rewarded in more ways than one!

totally. i don't understand why he doesn't see the need to brush his teeth or at least use some mouthwash before bed. really dude?

so i refuse to kiss- or i tell him, "dude- breath, rank, mint- now!"

and why is it that men smell when they wake up?? seriously? what are you doing all night long???

oh yes. sometimes DH's breath gets so bad that you can smell it coming out of his nose. it's so gross! i told him about it, and then a couple of days later he was even able to smell it and completely understood why i couldn't kiss him. i also get disgusted watching him clip his toenails. he's got the world's ugliest feet, so it's just too much. if he does it in bed, i can't look at him.

Tell him he is going to rot his teeth and he needs to brush his teeth!

To the OP, I thought about it and yes, I have been "repulsed" a few times by DH and then I got to wondering, gosh I hope he hasn't ever been repulsed by me! But then I realized, I actually make more of an effort than him so probably not!

FWIW, I recently started getting more ballsy and TELLING him what he needs to do. Like if I come to bed ready for sexy time, I make sure my teeth are brushed and I spritz on some perfume, etc. So then I told him he needs to do the same! Of course in a nice, and teasing way. I just said "You could try to put forth a little effort if you want to have sexy time!" So now he always comes to bed with brushed teeth and my fave cologne spritzed on.

Next time that happens, just tell him to brush his teeth! If he gets offended, then he is just a big baby

My husband and I were in the middle of a hot and heavy sexy session when all of the sudden he farts. I gave him the death glare and said that I would rather he not do that in the middle of sex. He apologized and I was no longer into it.

Lol. I wonder the same thing! And that morning breath...gross...there is no kissing before tooth brushing in the AM...

Scooter359 · May 2010

Haha. Yes. But I'm sure I do things that he doesn't see as classy either. He will clip his toenails and leave them in the sink. If I find this in the morning I will call him at work claiming it's an emergency, because to me it is. And I change out his pillow and pillow case constantly because for some reason it stinks. I don't know if he is a super droplet at night, or he gets the sweats but he doesn't even notice it.

Sometimes I just get repulsed by the male form in general. Like sometimes there is just nothing sexy about a naked man you know? I'm like "gross! put some clothes on!"

Women are just not at visual as men. Plus, sometimes he just grabs at me when he wants to initiate sex, and I'm like....really? Really? Stop touching me! My boobs are not playthings that you can tweak and pinch however you want! It's bad a enough to have a baby attached to your hip all day. Sometimes the last thing I want is him pawing at me when I finally climb in bed.

cari12 · May 2010

Yep. Although it's more of an annoyance than being repulsed.

I hate facial hair, and it especially does not look good on DH because he has black hair and his facial hair still doesn't come in very thick so he just gets this scraggly black mustache that looks super creepy and a pseudo goatee. He's been growing it out to be funny (eyeroll) for over a month and I keep begging him to shave it but it's still there...sigh...

amber_tynan · May 2010

Yes. He brushes his teeth before bed but sometimes we'll read or watch something for a while and then he wants to kiss me and his breath is disgusting. He also picks at his feet and fingers. It's nasty. He'll read in bed and absentmindedly pick at the skin on his feet. His feet stink all the time too. Then he'll try to get all sexy and touch me and I'm like, "no, you were just picking your disgusting feet. Go wash your hands."

He bites the skin on his thumbs and it seriously looks like he has some kind of skin disease and it's gross. I really don't like him touching me with those nasty thumbs.

And sometimes if he's doesn't bathe for a couple days his butt stinks. Yuck.

I usually let him know

Like...you have bad breath stay away !

one_more_girl · May 2010

Especially sometimes now since I'm sensitive to smells again yes I'll have sex without kissing him at all, except for the neck if his breath smells. He always brushes before bed and uses mouthwash but sometimes that just isn't enough. That's the only thing that really does it to me though usually I just think he's hot all around

On a side bar I was repulsed by my ex husband 24 hours a day and used to put DS in bed in between us so he couldn't try to cop a feel.......thank god I don't have to live that anymore. I dont know what happened there, I just stopped respecting him then stopped loving him then he was just completely disgusting to me in every way.

Yes!!!

His feet reek after work, and he likes to jump right into bed without taking off his stinky, sweaty socks, or washing his feet.

He rarely brushes his teeth before bed, and when he snores, he snores his morning breath right into my face.

He likes popping pimples -- his and other people's.

Finally, until I met him, he didn't see the need for deodorant. I didn't notice for a long time because he wore nice cologne, but as soon as I started spending the night with him, I made sure he did. It's still a battle to get him to wear it every day, though.
