OMG, I've been thinking of posting on that, Rhapsody! Summer's coming, and it's been hotter. My boyfriend only showers about once a week, and he sweats a lot. I have tried to subtly tell him he smells, but he gets quiet and seems to be defensive about it. I hate when he wants to use the bed (he chooses to sleep on the couch because our mattress is lumpy and he hasn't replaced it yet, but he doesn't like the couch, either, so sometimes he'll sleep in the bed when I'm not in it). Neither of us sleeps well with another person in the bed, so he only does this if I'm up all night (as I have been lately). It's fine in general, but I hate that his smell will be in the bed, and he leaves sweat stains--dark, even brownish, stains. I can't lie on the other side because there's a spring sticking up (we put one of those foam eggshell coverings on top of the mattress, but the spring has come through), and I have more instances of restless legs on the other side. I don't want to hurt his feelings by telling him I'd rather he didn't. But after I've had a shower, I don't want to lie in dirty sweat, you know?
