Lilly, a\u00a0woman who reached out to\u00a0us, conveyed a\u00a0sense of\u00a0desperation regarding a\u00a0situation within her otherwise happy family. She expressed that she and her husband, George, have enjoyed over a\u00a0decade of\u00a0blissful marriage, during which she has never observed any signs of\u00a0disrespectful behavior from him.\n

Lilly disclosed, \u201cIn\u00a0fact, our marriage has always been grounded in\u00a0deep affection, immense passion for each other, mutual respect, and trust. I\u2019ve always considered my\u00a0relationship with George to\u00a0be\u00a0incredibly fulfilling and ideal for\u00a0me. He\u2019s consistently shown himself to\u00a0be\u00a0a\u00a0loving and caring husband.\u201d\n

One aspect that dimmed the brightness of\u00a0Lilly\u2019s otherwise happy marriage was the classic conflict between her and her MIL. Lilly explained, \u201cI\u00a0have always been in\u00a0tough terms with my\u00a0MIL, because\u00a0I just didn\u2019t like her personality. She\u2019s always been a\u00a0very authoritative and entitled person, she sincerely believed that it\u2019s only her opinion that counts, in\u00a0absolutely every matter. And she adores to\u00a0interfere with other people\u2019s private lives.\n

This way or\u00a0that, I\u00a0did try to\u00a0come to\u00a0terms with her and just acted politely all the way, and it\u00a0wasn\u2019t a\u00a0big deal for\u00a0me, because we\u00a0didn\u2019t see each other very often. George and\u00a0I live in\u00a0another country and the chances that she would be\u00a0interfering with our life, were relatively small. So, I\u00a0just accepted the fact that my\u00a0MIL will never become my\u00a0second mother.\u201d\n\n

Continuing her letter, Lilly revealed that approximately a\u00a0year ago, her husband\u2019s demeanor underwent a\u00a0dramatic shift. She elaborated, \u00abGeorge started making rude comments about my\u00a0body odor. And there was no\u00a0visible reason for\u00a0it, no\u00a0change in\u00a0my\u00a0health or\u00a0lifestyle, everything had been normal, up\u00a0until one day, and ever since George started doing\u00a0it. Every single day, at\u00a0least once, he\u00a0would tell me\u00a0that\u00a0I stink and smell of\u00a0body odor.\u00bb\n

Reflecting on\u00a0the inception of\u00a0their relationship, Lilly recalled maintaining meticulous hygiene habits. She recounted showering daily, applying deodorant in\u00a0the morning, and brushing her teeth three times a\u00a0day. Despite adhering to\u00a0these routines consistently, nothing had shifted in\u00a0her hygiene practices since they first met. Nevertheless, George persisted in\u00a0making disparaging remarks about her personal hygiene repeatedly.\n

Lilly confessed, \u00abI\u00a0became so\u00a0paranoid about my\u00a0body smelling bad that\u00a0I started to\u00a0shower 3\u00a0times a\u00a0day, I\u00a0applied a\u00a0special strong deodorant every hour (I\u00a0even had a\u00a0reminder on\u00a0my\u00a0phone). I\u00a0used a\u00a0perfume, and\u00a0I brushed my\u00a0teeth 5\u00a0times a\u00a0day, it\u00a0was anytime\u00a0I ate or\u00a0drank something that wasn\u2019t water.\u00bb\n\n

Lilly\u2019s mental well-being suffered as\u00a0a\u00a0result of\u00a0George\u2019s comments.\n\n

Receiving daily, rude reminders from a\u00a0loved one about body odor can be\u00a0deeply distressing for anyone. Lilly acknowledged feeling profoundly upset by\u00a0George\u2019s behavior.\n

The woman wrote, \u00abI\u00a0felt like\u00a0I was going crazy. I\u00a0was sure\u00a0I didn\u2019t smell bad all the time of\u00a0our relationship. And I\u00a0didn\u2019t think\u00a0I smelled bad at\u00a0that period of\u00a0time, but it\u00a0was obvious that\u00a0I did smell bad to\u00a0my\u00a0husband. I\u2019ve always been this type of\u00a0a\u00a0person who would sneakily smell their own armpits. I\u00a0visited a\u00a0doctor, and he\u00a0told me\u00a0there was nothing medically wrong.\u00bb\n

\u00abThe whole thing was getting to\u00a0the point where\u00a0I literally started asking my\u00a0friends and family members to\u00a0smell my\u00a0armpits and to\u00a0tell me\u00a0honestly if\u00a0I smelled bad,\u00bb Lilly recalls. \u00abThey all said\u00a0I didn\u2019t smell like body odor at\u00a0all, one family member even said\u00a0I smelled too clean like a\u00a0lush store.\u00bb\n\n

One day, Lilly discovered the reason why she was smelling bad for her husband.\n\n
