What Causes Unhealthy Habits In A Person?

When your spouse doesn t bathe, brush teeth, doesn t care about the way he smells, and doesn t see the need to change his clothes. The odor is so bad sometimes it s very hard to be near him. It s smells rotten and like chafe that s left to rot. His supervisor has approached him about this at work and I have tried to be supportive in so many ways but will not engage in any intimacy now for about 6 months and I don t care to? . I feel it s very disrespectful to myself and himself. I shower daily, use lotions and body sprays at times and change all clothes daily. Saddened.

Hello,

I can understand your concern. The only way to manage this situation is to probe him for his unhygienic habits. There must be some reason for his unhealthy life style. After you can find the reason, you can work on it. However, if it is just laziness and there is no way to find a reason behind this, social boycott can help. You can stay away from him and stop talking. You can give him a clear message that unless he changes his habits, no relationship is possible between you. You can also ask relatives and friends for help and treatment towards him in the same way. You can also contact his office supervisor and ask him to give a clear message that it will be hard for him to keep the job unless he comes clean in the office.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you can solve the situation.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
