[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do I broach the subject of my wife's frequently bad breath and every-other-day shower habits affecting our intimacy?  Honestly, sometimes I simply have to turn my head lying in bed.  Also, keeping it clean and trim downstairs would be nice for other activities...[/quote]

Is this real? B/c it sounds like an exact reversal of complaints women have of their men. [/quote]

It does. In those threads, the women get advice to be direct and just tell the guy he needs to shower more, brush his teeth more, use mouthwash more. It is usually assumed the guy is an immature slob and needs his wife to just tell him straight up to grow up and take better care of his hygiene like an adult.[/quote]

But women can't take that sort of direct advice ... seriously (said as a woman).  A DH needs to be softer in his approach to get his wife to shower more (seriously? I would shower 3x/day if I had the chance). It just sounds SO exactly like what a woman would complain about of a husband (and SO exactly NOT like what a husband would complain about his wife) that it sounds wrong.

So will there be some chest beating by the folks saying "if this were reversed blah blah blah so sexist blah blah blah women suck!" ? Stay tuned.
