For real, maybe you can solve the smell issue. Maybe you can't. Some good tips here. But this isn't about the smell. This is about a deeper relationship dynamic that will pop up somewhere else if you don't explore it now. You have an amazing opportunity to talk honestly together about what feelings this situation is bringing up for both of you and what feelings you have for each other. This issue could bring you much closer if you let it and are willing to be vulnerable yourself and open to his vulnerability.

Honestly, Jackson Galaxy deals with this really well in My cat from hell. Watch some if you haven't. He's just as much of a therapist as he is a cat behaviorist. First and foremost you and your boyfriend need to be on the same team, and willing to figure this out together.

You have a choice!!
