[quote=Anonymous]DCUM, I need help or commiseration- my DH is a wonderful, thoughtful, kind partner and husband but he dresses like a complete dweeb. For instance, this morning he left the house in dockers that were fine 5 years ago but are now WAY too tight (15 lbs later, gained gradually over the years). He put on shoes with literal HOLES in the backs and fraying edges. He shaves his head and missed spots. The look is topped off with his wallet and phone shoved in the front pockets of his too tight pants. Oh my God.

Mind you, he has new professional shoes that he refuses to wear, better dress pants (that he doesn't wear), and the implements and finances to take care of his grooming and dress. He just doesn't care.

He is employed in a high earning field which involves a lot of personal contact with others (i.e., not hiding behind a computer all day). I'm afraid that his sloppy grooming and style of dress causes people to lack respect in him.

Things I've tried:  telling him this nicely, he gets mad.
shopping for him, he typically won't wear what I buy him (and I have to spend a lot of time taking/sending things back). 
shopping with him but we now have 2 young children and its a cluster f to do. 
behavioral conditioning of increased compliments and sex when he wears nice looking clothes (I was a psych major ;) )

I can't be the only one who deals with this. All advice appreciated!
