Today, my girlfriend and her best friend have been in a contest to see who can go the longest without showering. They’ve just hit day 22. They smell so bad, I can’t stand to be in the same room with them anymore. I'm really about to dump her. FML

that was kind of you OP. if it is dangerous like the water is cold and could therefore cause you to go into shock, then I believe the recommendation is not to risk your life, even if it is a human because you could then be in danger yourself and someone would have to save you. your wife may have been flirting or it could have been misinterpreted, she could have just been being nice or friendly. If she was flirting then it quite possibly doesn't mean anything. sometimes I think it is natural reaction and hard to help. but it really sucks. OP, thank you for helping that dog, please be careful though and I hope your wife gave you loads of attention and love and appreciation!

A bit of flirting never harmed anyone, some people do it every so often to boost their ego and self esteem. Doesn't mean they want to run away with them.

I know from experience that being sick or injured makes it easier to negatively misinterpret others' actions. And, nobody is perfect. Once you're better, ask your wife - nicely - about it.
