His reaction (“What are you doing?”) suggests shame, fear, or denial—not necessarily deceit. Many people with odor disorders suffer in silence for years, terrified of judgment.
How to talk to him gently:
“I’ve noticed a strong smell coming from your side of the bed, and I’m worried it might be a health issue—not because I’m upset, but because I care about you. Could we see a doctor together? Maybe it’s something simple we can fix.”
