I’m struggling with this issue with my husband as well. He’s reliant on Dude wipes and thinks this is compensatory over a fresh shower. So I’ve started offering him a reward of going out to dinner once he’s cleaned and sharp looking. This is a bribe, but it worked. I also gave him the advice of showering every two days. This meets him half way. Still a challenge, but some wins here and there.

If it works . It works. My husband has a one track mind. Eating at home or going out. I always say if we go out then we need to get cleaned up. So far it works. He wants to eat every 2-3 hours.I have snacks such as fruit, nuts or protein drink which I have made it to taste better. It is amazing what a blender does. I really think he wants my attention and will ask questions about how I feel, Did I sleep well, etc. Kudos to him when he asks me something about me and try his hardest to have a normal conversation. I will take it ! He actually was on the phone with his friend. Afterwards he was calling me "honey", how are you doing, or do you need anything. I asked him if his friend gave him a pep talk about me...It was sweet just the same. He was smiling and being kind..that was all I cared about.
