Overwhelmed

By Anonymous - 23/08/2025 20:00 - Australia

Today, and ever since I got pregnant, I hate how my husband smells. I hate his perfume, his toothpaste, his body odor, everything. When I tell him, he feels offended. I just want a hygienic man to be a little less hygienic, is that too much to ask? FML

Enhanced senses seems to be an occasional side effect of pregnancy. Talk to your doctor, and talk to your husband - maybe there are other products that dial down the fragrance that the doc can help with.

Ah, the Joys of pregnancy... Sorry, love, but hubby is going to be smelling unbearable until you have the baby. Tell him it's the pregnancy hormones and ask him to just go unscented until the chemical madness eases up. Zing toothpaste do non minty flavours.

so maybe he can not use cologne for a while. also unscented deodorant and baking soda for toothpaste. good luck.
