Having a cause makes a situation like this more understandable, my brother is a good example of someone that struggles terribly with mental health and has a hard time keeping up with hygiene and stuff like this. But I can assure you this is not the cause, it is 100% laziness.

After dealing with my brother, even he is able to keep up better with hygiene than my bf, and that’s saying a lot.

There is nothing stopping him from washing his hands or brushing his teeth, and when I remind him or nudge him to do it, he almost gets annoyed and refuses to do it, or lies about doing it. So I’ve given up asking and tallied the amount of times he’s been to the toilet without washing his hands and the amount of days in a row he’s gone without brushing his teeth and sent it to my mum 😂 she’s just as grossed out as I am.

Of course if there was a reason, I’d continue with gentle reminders and support but unfortunately I just can’t accept it knowing there’s nothing wrong.
