My Husband Smells Funny

I'm sorry to admit that I snickered just a little. And the first thing I wondered was if there was any chance that you were pregnant. Since you are, I think it's very likely that the pregnancy has something to do with it. I didn't like the smell of a lot of things while I was pregnant with my triplets. However, there is also the real possibility that your husband could have a medical problem. My oldest child "smells weird" to me when he has a fever. And I always know when my kids have strep because that has a distinct odor to me as well. My father-in-law is a doctor and he thinks I'm crazy... But every time I say that one of the kids has strep, I'm right! He has quit arguing with me! Could your hubby have a sinus infection or something?

Blame it on the pregnancy. At one time I couldn't kiss my husband on the mouth because it meant I would get close enough to smell his spit! I tried to be open about what was happening, and we would laugh about it together until it went away (weeks later).

You can probably blame it on hormones, pregnancy is different each time and this time things smell. I've had even favorite things smell bad, and toothpaste made me gag.

I would mention it to him, without blaming him but to explain why you are acting differently toward him. He needs to know that there is a reason for your change in attitude. I probably would not suggest cologne, it might just make it worse.

good luck

IT's totally because you are pregnant. the same thing happened to me when I was pregnant with my first daughter. As funny as it sounds I couldn't stand the smell of his armpits. He never had BO, it was just the smell of his deodorant mixed with his normal body smell. It's really funny now but at the time it made me so sick. But with my second pregnancy I didn't have anything like that happen. So just because it didn't happen with your other pregnancys doesn't mean anything. Just try to bear it and it will go away soon and he will smell good to you again.
