damn i'm sorry i giggled a bit when I read the first part but yeah you should've just subtly or slowly told him about his smell. gen ques, Were you not aware that he smelled bad before you were even dating?
sorry op i found ts lowkey funny too so, telling him he smells bad and that he should fix his body odor will hurt his feelings? ... idek where to start man, you should've just told him. plain and simple but ig the smell was that bad cus you avoided him instead of communicating. idk
Just tell him?? Idk why you'd ghost your BF rather than ask him to shower.
fr, it's that simple idk why op made things complicated
I don't know what's wrong with me rn, my ex boyfriend broke up with me last month, because of how I treated him. I kept avoiding him cuz I got turned off cuz he always smell bad, and I know I must just talk to him with it, but I don't wanna hurt his feelings (even tho I just f*ckingg DID). I kept on showing him hints that I'm distancing myself for him to be self conscious. And after days of avoiding him, he was done. He sent me a message he said He didn't know what was wrong w him/ w his actions that made me avoid him, and so, he was sooo done w me, and now I apologize and I still didn't tell him straight to the point why I keep on avoiding him, but he didn't reply, in short we didn't really got a proper breakup, but I understand. Not replying to me was already an answer.
Now everything felt so empty. But It's still so weird cuz I still keep on checking his account even tho I don't feel anything for him anymore, I STILL CHECK TF ON HIM.
