I get into heated arguments with my hubby about this. I ask that he showers daily ideally. If he's too tired and skips one here and there, no big deal. He's gone a week without showering and is proud that no one has complained about his stench, even though they do.

My fiancé showers at least once a day, usually once before work and once after.
I couldn’t deal with a smelly man 🥴

It's needed everyday 😅

I am way to smell sensitive to be near someone who brags about not showering for a week.

Oh people noticed he stank, they just didn’t want to get close enough to tell him.
My husband showers every day, twice if it’s been a hard day at work or the height of summer.

my other half literally wouldnt sleep if he didn’t shower 🙈 when he stayed with me one night in the hospital when we had our son, i could tell it was distressing him that he couldnt shower 🤣

Showers every day straight from getting in from work. Sometimes even twice if he’s played football or done manual work at home or something

A week? 🧐 what was his upbringing like around personal hygiene?

That's gross. My partner showers every single night without fail. He's up at 4.30 am for work, so it's too early for a shower in the morning, but when he gets home from work, it's the first thing he does. On a weekend he showers every morning

I'm glad my partner showers every morning, sometimes twice a day, I couldn't deal with someone not washing for a week 😬

My husband showers everyday, twice every other day bc the gym. I don’t wanna make YOU shame your husband but at this grown age, show him the post and comments idk lol
I speak from experience of knowing someone like this. His parents failed him and he didn’t even realize it, he knew not to let himself stink but not the importance of hygiene. Unfortunately it was bedded into his mindset and he truly didn’t care to change 🥴

How is he showering less than I mop the floor

My husband showers almost obsessively every day, sometimes more than once if he gets a haircut or a massage. It's not great for the skin, especially because he likes it hot, but it's his ritual. 🤷 I don't shower every day, typically every 2-3 days, as my skin and hair wouldn't handle it. My hair is fine and thin and would get way too oily if I washed it daily.
A week is a lot though. I'd go 4 days max.

My partner if not everyday at least every other day or night

My husband doesn’t shower everyday however he doesn’t have the stink gene 🧬 so he never smells. The most he will go is 2-3 days without a shower.

My partner showers twice a day most days. In the morning before work and evening sometime between dinner and bed

My partner showered everyday no questions asked

Sorry but he shouldn’t dare come close to me. U have to shower at least 5-6 days a week. lol me and my partner sometimes shower 3 times a day without even realising 😂 we enjoy it together so we do it so many times during the week

Is he depressed? I think that's something you should talk with him about even if he isn't showing any other signs. Men typically like to hide that they're depressed so it's worth a conversation imo

Mine every other night. I also don't shower daily.

I am a shower every second day girly, and I would be mad if my husband started demanding I shower daily.
But I definitely don't smell, I shave every shower and use deodorant and you know wash my clothes.
You shouldn't have to beg him for basic hygiene.

He showers daily or every other day max. Im the gross one :) but if I wash too regularly my eczema returns. Ive found max 3 showers a week or my it returns and it takes months to fix

Twice a day
