My Husband Smells Bad

My husband smells bad- what do I do? Romance/Relationships My husband smells bad to me 65% to 70% of the time and it’s seeming to become more frequent. We’ve been together a long time and this only started a few years ago. It’s not due to hygiene. I repeatedly ask him to try and figure it out but he has no idea what it is and is starting to get very offended/hurt that I keep asking him to go to doctors etc, but I don’t know what else to do. Our whole house smells like it when it’s bad and I know it sounds dramatic, but it’s seriously impacting my life. He can’t smell it at all so I have to tell him when it’s happening. The smell seems to be coming from his nose/mouth. He’s been to an ENT and a dentist and both have told him there is nothing wrong that could be causing it. He does saline rinses, tongue scraping, flosses, brushes his teeth, uses mouthwashes, etc. There is nothing lacking in his hygiene that I know of. It smells like rotting meat or like he just ate a hot dog.

A screenshot of a Reddit relationship post where a woman says her husband’s breath or mouth has smelled like rotting meat or a hot dog for years, despite good hygiene and medical visits. The joke is the increasingly dramatic, oddly specific description of the smell and the helplessness of having to tell him whenever it happens. It is used as a reaction to bizarre relationship problems, bad breath, or situations that become absurdly serious.
