| I don’t like my boyfriend’s natural body odor. It’s the way he smells when he sweats a little. Do others think this is a big deal? I’m used to enjoying my partner’s natural scent. I like everything else about him. |

Maybe he's diabetic? Eats something weird?
It would be a deal killer for me. |

| I think you have to break up. It doesn't get better. |

| You probably have to break up, but it's worth exploring if it's something related to his diet, alcohol intake, etc. |

I LOVED the way my DH smelled. All the time. I’m pretty sure it was pheromones.
So I don’t know if you can”fix” your lack of attraction to his smell. |

| What's the smell like? B.O.? Cheese? |

Be aware that people's natural scents change for a variety of reasons and with age. About 20 years into our marriage, I started to be annoyed by the scent of DH, and I am also really repelled by the scent of one of my kids post-puberty.
Would I abandon either of them because of my sensitive nose? Of course not. But I have taken measures to mitigate it. |

This is 1000% accurate. |

| If it's the cheese variety, using head and shoulders shampoo (on head) might fix it. |

Not going to work in the long term, sorry. Seems like it would be so trivial but it's not. |
