[quote=Anonymous]I've been married for several years. We have beautiful children. We have some issues, some more serious than others, but we're doing our best to work through them, not just for each other, but in large part for the kids. So, here's the thing. Everyone has a natural body smell. Since the day we met I haven't liked his. It was enough to turn me off entirely, but our conversations were great and we continued on just being friends because of that.  Eventually his personality completely won me over and we started dating and ultimately got married two years later. But my issue with his natural body smell never went away. I thought I would get used to it over time and it wouldn't bother me as much, if at all, but it's honestly gotten worse (not his smell, just my reaction). I sleep with a pillow between us so I don't have to smell it all night. Taking a shower doesn't change it. For reference, I loved the natural smell of my ex-boyfriend. I would curl up in his sheets when he would leave for work because I loved it so much. So it's not that I have an issue with natural smells generally.

I know there are some folks that will say this isn't an issue and I should get over it, but it is an issue for me. So I'm hoping to get some ideas that can help me cope with this for the rest of my life. It's clearly not getting any better as much as I hoped it would.  And before you suggest cologne -- he doesn't wear any and he's not the kind of guy that would. :(
