[quote=Anonymous]OP — Does his personal care flaws impact his job?  I would suggest joint dental visits three times a year to get him in the habit of going.  The dentist should also recommend a mouth wash.

You have every right to expect him to do a daily shower and brush the teeth.  Shaving might be something to let go until he is doing better on the other end.  
I would suggest going shopping with him for a couple of nice outfits that would fit his job lifestyle and let up if he wears the ratty stuff around the house.  Do you two go out to do fun things because if so, get him something he could wear to whatever you like to do together be it a sports activity, eating out, hiking whatever.  Speaking of which how about getting out in a daily walk on the weekends at least to help him and you have a healthy lifestyle.

Just do the laundry and have him do other household tasks. So that his clothes are clean.  I have always done the laundry as he has always done the yard work.

Also, if he makes the effort then praise him on the small steps.  Yes it is somewhat childlike, but better than nagging him.  You both married with well established good routines so it will take work to modify.  But, if he is floundering I his job or other aspects of life a full physical including a mental health screening might be in order.[/quote]
