Today, I actually had to have a discussion with my boyfriend about why he should shower more than once a week. FML

Are you an idiot 24? So your British uncle is disgusting. Therefore all Brits must be? Fool.

maybe he's like that guy in those old soap commercials, the dude's girlfriend/wife says to him don't you need to get cleaned up, and he just turns his shirt inside out.

YDI for staying with a guy that only showers once a week.

And to think, less than 100 years ago, that was perfectly acceptable.

I'm hoping you aren't saying "People did it 100 years ago and it was acceptable, so it should be fine now!" Because that makes you a moron.

No, but 100 years ago that would have been a lot. Honestly? I have gone like a week or two without showering... usually when I'm sick or something. I don't know how I would have got along "back then" when they only bathed once a month or less... people would be stinky... and they had family beds... yikes.

And to think, 100 years ago we had much more disease, partially due to unsanitary lifestyles.

yuk, seriously, or stop having sex or any kind or intimity with him, or just wait for him around the corner EVERY DAY and spray a bottle of febreeze on the dude... he'll get tired of it and will shower... OR then again, dump him for bad hygene

It's not actually unhygienic to only shower once a week, and some people can get away with not smelling for that long, especially if they don't use deodorants and other products that tend to cause excessive body odour. Showering strips your hair and skin of it's natural oils, so if your body adapts to only having one shower a week it's not really that bad. Depending on where you live it's not even that uncommon. Actually I think I remember reading somewhere that Prince Harry doesn't use shampoo and only showers every few days. I shower every day, but I'm just saying it might not be that bad, and the OP never said he actually smelt.

Not for nothing #9 but I've known some women who had "questionable" hygiene. Trust me it's not just men!

That is just nasty I feel so sorry for the OP, but once a week is better then taking a shower for an occation! I got a serious bladder infection, and went to the gyno and found out its from staying dirty. I might add that i shower daily sometimes twice a day because my hair is very oily and so is my skin, and i was in that area in the shower every night in have special whipes for women to keep that area clean then my boyfriend calls me on a date, and says let me take a shower first i havnt had one in weeks... point is, he hadn't taken a shower in so long i got a bladder infection. and he hides it from excessive deoderant and cologne/body spray =-[ it's gotten better now, but still im grossed out by him and wont do anything with him until i know he has had a shower =-] =-[
