im talking 4-5 days with no shower.
i make him sleep on the couch and then scream at him for sleeping there.
i hate germs and i worry about them all the time, so it makes it hard for me to look over this.
i am afraid it also causes him problems in every social circle.
i want him to be clean around me, but it pisses me off that ppl at work or anywhere may judge him.
the classic genius that stinks.
i dont want that for him.


This is a serious problem.

If he has a very active mind it may be that showering is boring for him.

You can't read or write or watch TV in the shower. It's total information starvation for 15 minutes to an hour depending on how long you stay in.

If I didn't have my radio and books on tape I would probably never shower, either.

Ask him if he wouldn't like to listen to a radio show or a book on tape or a TV show while he's bathing.

Just a suggestion :lol:

I get a lot of thinking done in the shower. Believe it or not, it's the quietest part of my house.

Probably the routine concerning showers is very important.


I also take a shower every day.

One Sunday when I knew I wasn't going to go out, I decided to skip the shower. I lasted until about 2:00 PM before I finally gave in and showered...

I also won't wear socks, underwear, or t-shirts more than once without them being laundered.

I'm especially obsessive about oral hygiene. I brush my teeth roughly 8 or 9 times a day and if I can't brush or chew gum or something after eating I go nuts.

I think the not giving him sex until he is showered should work effectivly.
I love showers, I would easily spend an hour in the shower, to get me out of it quickly-ish, my mum makes me a cup of tea when i go in the shower, so i don't take to long as I want to drink my tea at least warm.

sun-shower!!
monday-no shower. :evil:
tuesday morning- no shower. :evil:


so i am not going to say a word and see how he acts. i already told him i am not mommy or shower police so lets see if he wants to keep himself clean.
or he can keep himself to himself.

Devunea I really hate to be so blunt and off-topic but that apostrophe in your signature should not be there. It kind of bothers me.

If showering gets boring,
one can always spice it
up a little. Say by taking
your cat in with you.

I take a bath every time I take a dump.
