Out of nowhere, he told me, “You need to do something about the smell down there. It’s getting really bad.”
At first, I was shocked and embarrassed. I’ve always been meticulous about my hygiene and have never had any issues before.
But the more I thought about it, the less sense it made. I bathe daily, wear breathable fabrics, and follow all the recommendations for intimate health.
I even went to the doctor recently for a check-up, and everything came back normal. So, where was this coming from?
When I confronted him, he doubled down and said, “I’m just being honest.
It’s not a big deal, but you should look into it.”
I couldn’t believe he was trying to make me feel self-conscious about something I was sure wasn’t true.
After speaking to a close friend about it, she suggested that he might be projecting — or even trying to put me down for reasons unrelated to me.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if this is a him problem, not a me problem.
But it’s still eating away at me, and I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something deeper behind his comments.
Have you ever dealt with a situation like this? What would you do if someone you love made a comment like this out of nowhere?
