So obviously as the title says… my boyfriends butt stinks. We've been together for just over 2 years and this has been an issue for the last 8ish months. I know, it's a very long time to be dealing with this. The issue is that every time I've brought it up and tried to gently say something like "hey not trying to be rude, but you have a bit of a smell." he gets annoyed and says he wipes properly and washes in the shower. then the smell goes away for a few days but returns. the thing is I don't know if I believe him anymore. I've been having to wash the sheets and even the blankets at least once a week because they start to emmit the same poopy smell from them. Like right now as we've been in bed, I'm turned the other way and will still once in a while get a whiff. he showers nearly every day because his job is hard work and he is aware when he comes home he stinks, but this is different than sweat. I actually got up and was looking around the room to make sure a cat hadn't for some reason crapped in the corner. again, I've tried multiple times to make offhanded references about using wet wipes, or scrubbing good in the shower with the cloth and soap but still nearly every other day his butt just smells like he's freshly shat himself. how do I bring this up to him in a way where he won't get upset and hopefully take me seriously? I love him but my nose is going to bail on me soon 🙁
edit: so after waking up and seeing so many people concerned for me and my health as well, I will say that I myself am a very clean person. I shower every day and I definitely make sure I never have a stink coming from myself. I also always make sure we've both showered before we're intimate (which yes I'm aware shouldn't always be necessary). but also I've seen quite a few people suggest it could be something medically related on his end. tonight I will talk to him and add in that if he's sure he's cleaning himself properly maybe he should see a doctor to rule out any health issues. although I'm about 90% sure it's a hygiene problem, hopefully by mentioning the dr he will either agree to get it checked out or finally realize that if I'm suggesting a medical issue, he truly isn't cleaning properly and should step it up. I do understand that I shouldn't be putting up with this for so long. I may or may not update in the future on if he's still stinky (and I've left him) or fixed his problem. nonetheless, thank you to everyone for your input and suggestions <3
