[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a fairly new relationship. We've been dating for almost 3 months now. Last night before bed he told me that I smell and he doesn't want to have sex with me. I am beyond embarrassed. I didn't respond to what he said as I don't know what to do. He knows that I shower and brush my teeth as i have done both at his house before. The other day, he joked about me having dragon breath. Disclaimer: I am aware that I smell, but I do not know the culprit. I have consulted my dentist and other physicians, but haven't been able to find the root cause. I do suffer from chronic constipation and other digestive issues and I sweat more than most people, but I am aware of this so I chew gum often,  wear extra strength deordant,  and shower 2x a day. I was bullied a lot by my family bc I smelled as a kid so this really hurts and brings back memories. I really don't know what to do. I obviously do not want to be involved with someone who isn't happy with my hygiene, but I'm not sure how to even approach this with him. I think I should end things as I don't feel like there isn't more that I can do to improve the situation and I don't want to be involved with someone who doesn't want to kiss or have sex with me.

Just based on what you said, I wouldn't necessarily dump the guy. It seems you really do have a problem emitting malodorous fumes. Obviously he smells it, but is he aware of your past and all the efforts you take to cover up the odor? Perhaps he thought the jokes were a subtle way of getting you to step up your hygiene and when that didn't work just tried to be blunt.

If he really likes you he may be willing to wait to see if a solution to your odor problem presents itself. If you really like him you could explain your situation, tell him you're search for a solution and ask him to be patient.[/quote]
