She asked him directly what made her smell because she felt like she was one of the cleanest people in the world at that point because of everything she was doing to try and smell good. As she had already showered and applied deodorant before his comment, she suggested that they should break up if he couldn’t handle her smell. Then she revealed: “He got all panicked and upset; I eventually got out of him that this is what his father always said to his mother.
Apparently, his father told him that it was a surefire technique to have a woman never leave you because ‘she will feel too low to cheat, will love only you, and will always be clean.’”
At this, OP proved to her boyfriend that his father was wrong. She asked him to move out of her house that day. Meanwhile, people who had been following the story were horrified by the update.
One said that the man’s father had groomed him to be emotionally abusive and that they were glad she had left him. Another said her boyfriend was stupid to think that telling someone they smell would make them want you more. Many people called OP’s boyfriend manipulative and even pathetic, saying that he and his father were horrible people and that she should tell his mother what he and his father were doing.
Some parents love and support their children’s relationships, helping them build healthy bonds with their partners. However, this OP’s boyfriend’s father is not an example. Neither is one mother who offered her son’s fiancée financial compensation if she broke up with him.
