This is a serious problem in marriage if you are struggling to find your man attractive and he won’t do anything about it. It’s a common problem in relationships, but you need to let him know how you feel instead of just getting frustrated with him. Men are simple creatures – the chances are he will have absolutely no idea why you’re mad if you don’t give him some idea and his behaviour will carry on, making both his and your problem a lot worse. It’s a vicious circle.

First, don’t nag. All nagging becomes is a monotonal drone in your husbands ear that they learn to ignore and fight against. Instead, try giving him some incentive – no kisses until you brush your teeth, why don’t you come and shower with me? Etc.

This will give him a start, but ultimately, you need to tell him how you feel. If you’re not attracted to him anymore, he needs to know and he needs to know why and what he can do about it.

Alternatively, if all else fails, you can find lots of squeaky clean men with filthy minds here.
