Being stuck in a relationship with someone who doesn’t care to take care of their hygiene is hugely problematic.

It’s unfair to you to deal with someone who doesn’t care about brushing their teeth, washing their hair, or keeping their body clean on a daily basis.

Is your partner’s lack of hygiene a good enough reason to end the relationship? Our answer is YES.

Dump your partner if they smell bad… please

Proper hygiene is a sign that your partner genuinely values themselves and YOU.

If they’re initiating sex with you while emitting an uncontrollable stench, you need to speak up immediately.

If they’re expecting you to get intimate with them while they smell terrible, there’s a high chance they don’t actually value you very much.

More importantly, it’s glaringly obvious that unhygienic people don’t value themselves.

Individuals who understand the concept of self-love know that taking care of themselves by exhibiting proper hygiene is a human necessity.

You shouldn’t have to convince your partner to brush their teeth or take showers before spending time with you.

Don’t subject yourself to someone else’s stench in the name of love.

If you believe the person in question could be your literal soulmate, try to open up a dialogue with them about taking care of their hygiene.

Depending on how much you care for this person, approach the subject gently without making them feel embarrassed, judged, or ashamed.

Suggest taking a shower together before sexy time and lead by example while you’re at it.

Remember though… it’s not your job to educate someone about how to clean themselves.

You aren’t their parent. Don’t feel pressured to teach them basic life skills they should’ve already grasped on their own.

Don’t feel guilty about ending a relationship with someone who smells badly since proper hygiene is a basic skill that ALL adults in society should have mastered.
