Fair enough

By dumped - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my boyfriend dumped me because apparently I don't appreciate how he's different from other guys. I only told him that showering once a month was not normal. FML

Oh god, MEN. At least my husband has a shower at least once a week.. Still, kinda icky, but better than once a month.

ugh if u don't shower 7 days a week, you're disgusting

Well, different cultures have different cleanliness standards, and they may not take a bath or shower every day, and that's considered clean for them. However, since the OP and her husband are American, yeah, he's pretty ******* gross.

@iamborat99 - Not really. You can be perfectly clean/hygenic by showering every other day (ie 3/4 times a week). So long as you're not going to go outside and roll around in the mud...but I think that comes under the heading of 'things to shower after'.

I shower daily but I think this more depends on what they do all day, if they don't go outside or do anything to break a sweat then I could see skipping a day, but more than that I think is pushing it.

I shower every other day. Some times I go for the third day, but I'm on strict bedrest, so it's not like I'm going out and getting dirty, anyway.

Washing your hair every day can actually be bad for your hair. It really depends on what you do. I shower like 3 times a week but I sit in a chair in an office all day. I'd say 3-4 days is the limit assuming you're doing nothing. Any more than that is really gross. And you should always shower after anything sweaty or dirty... All depends on the individual. My hubby stinks after like 2 days because he sweats a lot naturally. Thankfully we're candid enough to let the other know when they stink.

Also there are some psychological disorders, past experiences, and what not that can make you hate showering. I had a peeping Tom at an old apartment so I hate being nude in front of a window, and both of my showers are by a window. Blinds and curtains don't help.

I agree with you, except on one point; if say you've been doing exercise (and therefore are in need of a shower) and all you're going to do afterwards is sleep, then it's fine to leave it till the morning to shower, it doesn't have to be immediantly after, just between that and doing something where it matters if you smell or not.

Good point, but only if you wash your sheets regularly haha

awwww... I could never hit the gym and then go to bed without showering... going to bed after a shower is the best feeling ever... well not "ever" but you get the point...

I kinda took it for granted that people who were hygenic washed their sheets regularly. :) Also, how did you not just want to collapse and sleep? I used to do jujitsu and would always be way too tired after to shower, so I'd leave it till morning. But you have a point, but it's a bit less brilliant when you have to wait for your hair to dry first.

Why on earth did you bother to stay with him? As soon as you knew about his personal hygiene, you should have high-tailed it out of there! This is not an FML. Be glad you don't have to smell that anymore.

This isn't a FML... this is a Horray for your life, now you can do something meaningful, unless you're inbread and can't get anything better.

Once a month is normal for men. If you have you shower more frequently to keep a woman happy, your dick isn't big enough.
