5 hrs agoMy husband told me that I smell so bad he can barely stay close to me.
At first, he stopped sleeping in the same bed with me, and I thought maybe the bed was too fluffy for him or that he was sweating a lot due to the heat whenever he slept there. So, I didn't think much of it.
But that was not the end.
One morning, during an argument, he told me to take care of myself and threatened to kick me out of his house if I didn't stop the odor.
I didn’t take offense; I was, in fact, scared and ashamed because I, too, knew I had a bad body odor.
I spent all my money on body care products to eliminate the smell.
I wore perfume, deodorant, and body spray regularly until I managed to stop the odor.
Yet, my husband still refused to sleep in the same bed with me.
"Babe, please come to bed. I don’t like that you’re sleeping on the couch," I begged one night. "I no longer have the odor."
"Join you on that bed? That bed that now smells like you?"
His words sliced my heart in two.
I was shocked and saddened by his response, but I still persisted. He’s my husband.
He also mentioned that he hated to see all my stretch marks. I had them on my neck, around my armpits, stomach, thighs, and ankles.
It was obvious, but I always covered them up, especially when I went out. These stretch marks appeared after my first childbirth and worsened after my second.
His words that night broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes. Was it not bringing his children into this world that made me like this? Was I like this when he married me?
I tried everything to remove those stretch marks, but they refused to go away entirely.
Some said it was "omumu" in Igbo, meaning I would give birth to many children.
I chose not to believe that, as I had two kids and was told I couldn't have more due to complications during my second childbirth.
Now, my husband is completely avoiding me. He comes home late and rarely eats my food because he thinks it smells.
I've done everything within my power to make him love me again, but all to no avail.
He sees my stretch marks as disgusting marks that repel him, and he still claims I smell, even though my friends—and even my enemies—confirmed that I have a nice smell.
I smell the armpits of my dresses to ensure they don’t smell awful, but all I perceive is the scent of my perfume.
I know I removed that body odor, but my husband keeps stressing the issue.
One afternoon, I was going through his things when I found a new pack of women’s underwear with a note written on it:
"To my Joyce."
And the only Joyce we both knew was my younger sister, his sister-in-law.
He bought underwear for my younger sister?
