A woman sought advice online after her boyfriend consistently claimed she smelled of body odor. Despite her efforts to stay clean, the boyfriend’s remarks led her to extreme measures, even consulting a doctor and subjecting herself to family and friends’ scrutiny. Frustrated, she confronted him, and he finally confessed to a disturbing influence from his father:

“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.'”

The revelation shocked the internet, prompting outrage and disgust. The woman, feeling manipulated, considered breaking up. The story exposes a toxic relationship dynamic stemming from the boyfriend’s misguided belief, leaving readers appalled by the disturbing advice passed down from father to son.

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.
