A woman shared how she is sick and tired of cleaning up after her fiance after moving in with him, and that he doesn’t shower or helps with housework.
Here is the story:
“Help! I’m so sick and tired of cleaning up after my fiance and telling him to improve his personal hygiene.
We moved in together a year ago and my perception of him totally changed. He is so dirty, like he will not shower at all unless he leaves the house that day.
I don’t know about you, but given our weather I think it’s basic hygiene for people to shower at least once a day, whether you leave the house or not? Plus he sweats a lot, I can even smell his body odour on my sheets, yucks.
He leaves his dirty clothes and underwear all over the house, saying they are “still clean”. He never washes his feet properly and the resulting unpleasant odour often linger around the house. He spills snacks all over the couch and floor. Got many other examples but let’s just leave it here for now.
Unsurprisingly he also makes zero effort at housework so I’m now doing the 100% cleaning and laundry at home. I also feel upset as I’m always the one taking initiative and paying to replenish toiletries, detergents and cleaning supplies.
Many times I actually wish I live alone or back at my parents’ as I feel so exhausted taking care of this man-child, sigh.
Is it possible for someone like that to change? Is it silly to break up with someone over hygiene issue? I have talked to him many times about this but to no avail, he just dismisses me as naggy and OCD every time.”
