my man stinks
ok my boyfreind is 24 and he really really stinks. We have been together for 2 years and i knew when i got with him that he had a strong body odor. And its not like its just a problem that he tries to correct. Sometimes ... this is gross ... but he will go 2 3 or 4 weeks without showering. We work together and our boss talks to him about it every week (im surprised they haven't fired him) and they have recently gave up talking to him and come to me. So did the woman he babysits for. Its really imbarassing. He does have some mental problems so what are some ways i can get him to bathe regularly? and is there any good over the counter deodarent that can cover up strong pit odors he could tries? any help would be appreciated!

You have to be honest about it. Tell him that his personal hygiene is affecting his career and personal life. Don't upset him, just let him know the truth. You could try to encourage him to bathe by doing it with him.
As for deoderants, I would try the medicated ones. There are some you can get with a perscription and others you can get in the drugstore that are strong.

You need to sit him down and figure out what the issue is with him not wanting to bathe. We're not in the middle ages and showers are pretty much everywhere. The fact that you knew he had this issue from the get-go and you've been with him for two years shows you must really care about him and that is phenomenal. And if you really care about him this much, you have to show him how this is affecting you and your relationship with him.
Now I know it always helps to get a non-biased opinion from someone you'll never meet, but you've been together 2 years, your boss says he stinks, and he can't babysit anymore because of it. You have to go to him and show him that if he cares about you, he needs to bathe. Now, the tricky part is figuring out what kind of mental problems you are talking about.
One way of countering this, is to possibly take a shower with him. Tell him if you can lather him up, you'll let him lather you up. It'll be fun! Now, you have to be careful with this because he may become dependent of you taking a shower with him. But, one way to counter that problem, is when you get out of the shower and everything is said and done, compliment him ALOT. Tell him how great it is a to a super clean boyfriend and how good he smells.
Also, buy him the full set of Red Zone from Old Spice before you sit down with him. They have two sets (and it is relatively inexpensive) that I love to use (and the ladies love it too) called Show Time and Aqua Reef. They have the body wash, spray, and deoderant. I have used the Red Zone deoderant years before they came out with the bodywash and spray and it is the only thing that works for me 100% of the time no matter how active I am.
If none of this works, then you know you're dealing with a deep rooted problem, but what can be better to break that shower anxiety than having his sexy little lady lather him up and compliment him about it. And other people, GUARANTEED, will compliment him. Possibly out of relief from the odor, but it's still a reinforcing compliment! Hope this helps!
