Her Boyfriend Never Showers After Finishing A Hospital Shift Or Working Out At The Gym, And It Really Grosses Her Out

Practically anything can be viewed as a “red flag” nowadays, and some people even believe that society has taken the idea too far – shaming people for relatively normal or harmless habits.
But I think that most people can agree on one thing: bad hygiene will always be a red flag that gives people the “ick.”
This woman, who’s currently in a relationship, is dealing with this very issue right now. In general, she claimed that her boyfriend is a clean and tidy person who has “great hygiene.”
However, he works in a hospital as a nurse and enjoys exercising at the gym. And even after completing a 12-hour shift or finishing a workout, he never takes a shower.
“I think it’s because he likes showers in the morning,” she said.
Nonetheless, his habit of returning home and not showering after being in a germ-filled hospital or gym has really started to gross her out.
She already deals with acne, which is exacerbated by dirt and grime. So, whenever he doesn’t shower after his shifts, that turns her off.
“That’s gross to me,” she admitted.
She has tried broaching the topic of post-work hygiene with her boyfriend, too. Once, she claimed to be surprised that he didn’t want to immediately shower after returning home from the hospital.

But he didn’t really even respond. All he did was chuckle and say, “Ha, yeah.”
So, whenever she’s lying in bed next to him at night, she feels disgusting knowing that there is grime and “ick” all over him – especially while she’s already dealing with acne.
“And he always wants me to cuddle him,” she vented, “I told him, babe, you need to wash that face.”
She’s even tried straight-up telling her boyfriend that he makes her feel really gross by not cleaning up after work or the gym.
Nonetheless, he still hasn’t changed any of his habits and refuses to shower once he gets home from a shift or a workout.
So now, she is really at a loss and has no idea what to do to address this icky situation.
Would you also feel grossed out if you were in her shoes? How should she deal with this situation?
