Dear Ann Cannon • I love my boyfriend a lot. We have been together a year-and-a-half. My problem is: I don’t like the way he smells. He’s not a big fan of showering. He says it dries out his skin. He showers about twice a week. (We are both “older,” and older people don’t sweat as much, etc. But still.) Also, he doesn’t wash his hands often.
Is there a nice way I can encourage him to shower and wash his hair and hands more often without hurting his feelings? Or is it too late after all this time?
