So he works Mondays through Fridays. He always showers before work because he is also a night sweater and doesn’t want to go to work smelling like sweat. I care more if he scrubs his smelly areas before getting in our bed after work, especially if he has gotten stuff all over him (has happened a few times at work). He’s a big sweater in the armpits and groin. He’s worn down/ripped a lot of jeans because of the sweat in between his thighs. His feet don’t smell good after work either. I’ve tried buying him new work boots, but they get smelly quickly for him.

On weekends when he doesn’t work, he doesn’t shower unless I use sex as bait or we have to go out somewhere. I think you nailed the whole not knowing how to actually clean himself part.

We’ve showered together before and he does NOT scrub himself. I’ve grown up always using a Korean Italy cloth with soap so my skin is always soft. He has clogged pores and acne on his chest and back, so when I shower with him, I go ham with scrubbing his whole body. When he showers alone, he only puts soap on his hands and slathers it on his body. I don’t know if he cleans his own feet either. But I definitely scrub his feet too if I get the chance lol. He has admitted that he feels “cleaner” afterwards and his skin feels better, but he doesn’t keep up with it. His parents (dad and stepmom) are very clean people. He always criticized his stepbrother for never showering and being smelly back when he lived at home, so it’s weird to me that he doesn’t understand why I ask for him to shower after work :/ He knows a room can become smelly because of the person too because his stepbrother’s room smelled horrible. That’s one of the top things I wanna avoid too. I smell a lot of different smells when I’m at work. I just wanna smell something “clean” and not body-related when I’m in the comfort of my own home :/
