I got angry at my partner earlier because things got too much... We were out food shopping, I asked him if he wanted anything for lunch, he ignored me. Then blamed me for not reminding him...HE NEEDS TO THINK FOR HIMSELF...like fucking hell He didn't brush his teeth all weekend He "showered" at the gym...he had nothing for his hair or body... He needed to be told what to do otherwise he will just sit there in silence. I had not even a leg width of space sleeping in my bed, he was literally kicking me out of bed. Anytime I wanted to turn over so I was more "comfortable", he would turn into my direction and breathe all over my face. .his breath was disgusting. He was always breathing in and out of his mouth which got too annoying, like watching a movie, he would just breathe that shit smelling breath in my face and I had to keep facing away. His nose was always blocked as I could hear the squelching when he rubbed his nose...it was pretty disgusting. He was doing that all night Friday night... I don't know what the fuck do to. He tried touching me and apologising to me and I just said in a pissed off mood as I was still in the height of anger "Don't touch me." I don't know if it's just me or is he just a really not troublesome but hindering?

      I think you need to have a calm conversation about the things that are bothering you and ask him to be open with you about anything he's going through. If he doesn't open up to you or make some changes it might be time to reconsider the relationship. But also remember to be patient change takes time and habits are hard to break.

        @depressedunicorn I have tried...I told him at the start of the relationship about these things and he said "I'll work on them, I want to keep you"

          @TheOnlySneezles then I think it might be time to leave. If he isn't willing to change and these are deal breakers it's time to let them go.

      If you can, take a break from the situation and get away from it for a little bit. Even if it's just small like going to a park for lunch or to a friend's house for the night. Get away and just process it, figure out how you feel about it all as I'm sure it's frustrating, and just try to think about what things you can both do to make the situation better. Then, once you have a couple things in mind that would be helpful (maybe help them figure out why showering/brushing teeth is hard and figure out a solution), honestly just talk to them about it and be truthful. Living with someone or being with someone can be stressful at points but just stop, think about it, and communicate. Honestly communication is so key for things like that. I mean I'm sure it's cliche to say, but it's true. I hope that's helpful!

        @Pet_Semetary We see each other every 2 weeks, but last week I had a very stressful week and just wanted to be left alone in the sense of not really messaging etc. I didn't really want him round but I did it because I thought it would help...I have to bring things up otherwise he sits in silence. Like...I don't know how many more times I can do it myself...he has no initiative to bring things up himself...He barely communicates and it frustrates me. He doesn't even message his friends really because he says "Oh he can go fuck off" etc. Like that's not how you treat friends...

      I genuinely don't understand what's so appealing about men like this. Like it's a no brainer in my opinion that the two of you should not be together, cause that's some red flaggy behavior

        @Rahja I wouldn't say it's red flaggy behaviour, just habits or lack thereof, some people stuggle with personal hygiene for many reasons.

      I think you may need to talk to your partner in a calm way as he may be stuggling mentaly too. Try to find out why he's not taking care of himself and if anything is on his mind. I know it's hard to not get angry and frustrated with breathing sounds etc but try to remember he's not doing it on purpose. Xx

        @Shello I have honestly tried a good few times now. He keeps saying he's happy because he has me but he's doing nothing about it. He's not said anything why he's struggling, all he said was "Oh I didn't know my hygiene was that bad" that may indicate he's been doing it his whole life really...
