Intimacy while facing poor hygiene on the part of my EO wife.

Hohenzollern

What can be done when my wife expects a certain level of intimacy despite her poor personal hygiene?  I don't want to hurt her feelings and she was always a very clean person. However, this disease has caused her to consistently disregard her hygiene. She will even mislead me about whether she has taken a shower.  I don't know what to do.

Why not suggest taking a shower together. Tell her you need your back washed and you will wash hers. Maybe that would work. Good Luck

Zetta, that's exactly what I was going to say.

Oooh, these shower together suggestions surely brought back some very scintillating memories for me! Hope it works for you.

Baby wipes and perfume. I have to admit I take baby wipe baths with deodorant now and again when I go too long between showers. My wife avoids the shower but she is OK with baby wipes. Sometimes she will surprise me and take a shower on her own without me having to nag. I just got tired of that battle. As long as she uses the baby wipes on the key areas I have to take that as a win. The other thing I have to do is have clean clothes ready after her shower or she will put on the funky clothes she was wearing before. Her sense of smell is gone she can't tell anymore between worn or unworn clothes.
