I 28F want to break up with my boyfriend 30M because his penis stinks

r/

I’m done. I have no idea how many times I asked him why it stinks or to see a doctor, at least for months if not a year. All he does is keep saying sorry and it’s leaking. LEAKING? If it’s really the case then i feel bad for him, but I see absolutely no effort other than he claims he’s watshing it after he pees. It’s about him not making effort at all. When I hand him a book to read so he can understand my diagnosis because he keeps making insensitive comments, nope leave it untouched for months. Something even small to make me feel happy? Nope NOTHING. If I ask him to plan a date once in a while? Nope nothing. It’s always me. Reminding him to pay bills, etc. I tried to look good side of him (patient, caring, smart, handsome etc) but I feel like I hit the breaking point. Is this relationship savable?

    Get tested

    Hell naw. He’s 30 years old if he’s not capable of taking care of himself or going to the doctors incase he has a diagnosis then the relationship is over no further discussion that’s nasty

    Have you both gotten tested for STDs?

  7. mooseplainer Avatar

    Sounds like his smelly wee wee is a symptom of some much larger relationship problems (not necessarily medical issues to be clear).

    You can break up with anyone anytime for any reason, offering an explanation is a courtesy, not an obligation. People have broken up for far less.

    If it was just a smelly wiener, the relationship would probably be salvageable, but it sounds like there’s a lot more serious issues. Lack of effort in the relationship, lack of diligence with bills to name the few you mentioned here. Date a person for who they are, not who you want them to be. For the relationship to be salvageable, you’d need some pretext that he would listen or at least discuss, which you’ve already tried to no avail. If you need to breakup, you have my blessing.

  8. floridaeng Avatar

    Get tested for any STDs he may have given you. You have more than enough reason to break up, and to be honest I have to ask why you waited this long. He’s not all that smart if he is not concerned about why it smells and what may be causing it.

  9. wackyvorlon Avatar

    I would not stay with him. Also get tested for STDs. Things like gonorrhoea can cause a discharge.

  10. bugdiseasez Avatar

    Omgg nooo 😭 definitely break up… if not because of the stinky dick (which is kinda valid on its own..) then because of everything else mentioned in the last half of your post

  11. Icy_Strategy3229 Avatar

    He could be carrying gardnerella what is a bacterial infection, could be sexually transmitted, it’s not hard to treat. But since himself does not care about his own business, I would leave him.
    And let a note for him to go in the doctor.

    Yo that is not normal. It is not suppose to leak or smell. Stop having sex and go see a doctor. You probably have an STD.

  15. Throw_RA099 Avatar

    Man here. Leave his ass.

    He can’t be bothered to plan a date, never mind wash his ass and balls. He needs to see a doctor if he still has an odor there despite regular bathing.  He could be depressed but maybe you leaving him will be the catalyst for change for him.

    Sounds like incontinence which is absolutely something that can be addressed. I say this as someone who is struggling with incontinence and have done pelvic floor therapy. (I’m exploring other issues right now that could be causing it beyond pelvic floor dysfunction)

  39. RevolutionaryHelp218 Avatar

    He’s probably too embarrassed to go to the doctor over his stinking dick. He probably has some sort of infection or std and stupidly thinks washing it will eventually sort it. It won’t.

    He is acting like a child. He doesn’t even put in the effort to plan a date. Time to dump him and dirty dick.

    He needs to see a doc…is he circumcised?

    WTF he should take a shower before sex – in fact why not try that – tell him u want to shower together- get undressed and and tell him u want sex in the shower – make it kinky
    BTW don’t wash it before sex so when he goes down it’s like a rose garden??

    Or at least if u did some anal first he’d have an excuse for the dick stank

    If he won’t address it or clean up – adios

  45. SomeNobodyInNC Avatar

    A leaking dick he doesn’t care about? You do all the work? Stinky penis? Why would you want to salvage the relationship? Is your self-worth so low you think this is what you have to put up with? Is this the best you can do? If you had a leaking vagina, he had to do all the work, and your vagina smelled. How long do you think he’d stick around?

  46. ExcitedGirl Avatar

    If he says it’s leaking and has a bad smell, if I were you I would go to your own doctor and be checked for gonorrhea or any of several other STDs. 

    Sorry. But you need to be aware of that.

  47. CloudyIPA Avatar

    What’s his penile anatomy like? Does he have a foreskin? If so, does he pull it fully back to clean? Can he pull it back? Some men have a tight one that they can’t pull back to clean, resulting in smegma buildup.

    If he’s dribbling from the tip, I’d guess chlamydia ( you could still be clear if using condoms).
    It’s all grim that he’s doing nothing about it. Don’t go near it. Tell him exactly why he’s being dumped( leave out the no dates thing) Then he might be inspired to take action, which will be doing him a favour in the long run – and any woman crossing his path.

    He probably needs to see a urologist.
    He either has an std or something wrong with his prostrate or urinary track. Doing nothing is not an option.
    I had prostrate cancer and had it removed. I had incontinence for several months.
    Check his dirty underwear if it’s constantly damp or stained he is hiding something healthwise.

    His dong is leaking, he won’t look into it and isn’t worried about it, he doesn’t make ANY EFFORT to plan dates, and you have to remind him to pay the bills? What I’m hearing here is that you’re having to be his secretary/calendar, his sometimes nurse, and you’re not getting anything for your efforts.

    You deserve better, and no the relationship isn’t worth salvaging. It’s time to go.

    I read your post and some of your comments.

    You have been tested and have no STD’s. So his refusal to get tested is stupid but also irrelevant.

    The fact that his penis leaks and smells of pee suggests incontinence rather than a STD.

    He needs to see a doctor to find out why he has this problem. It’s really important. There could be an infection or something more serious.

    Hi! My ex had this issue with his penis. It always smelled. He thought it was normal lmao. He gave me gonorrhea! Ended up in the er with crazy stabbing pain. Who knows how long I had it. Stop sleeping with him and go get tested. Even if he won’t.

    Also my most recent man “friend” had the same issue with refusing to go get tested. He said he was scared they were going to stick a qtip in his penis. Went to get a blood and pee test and found out it was just a yeast infection I kept passing back to myself bc he wouldn’t go get tested.

    I suffered for a whole year before he would even entertain the idea of getting tested. Save yourself the pain. If the tables were turned, you’d want to save the person you love from the same issue, right?

    It should make you physically sick that he cares so little about your health that he won’t do that for you, and you are allowing him access to your body. To sabotage your health.

    Goodbye!!!!!

    Putting hygiene aside for a second, do you think this is something you can live with long-term? You’re already noticing these habits now, and when you bring them up, he doesn’t make an effort to change. Do you truly believe that’ll be different if you get married? (Chances are, it won’t.) So the real question is: can you accept him as he is? Your honest answer to that will tell you everything you need to know.

  98. desecrated_throne Avatar

    So it seems like you have quite a few complaints about the relationship – I do not say this in a dismissive or demeaning way. You have absolutely every right to be frustrated by your partner being willfully ignorant of your health – in refusing to read the book you gave him, and in refusing to address his hygiene in ways that could very well make you sick – and it sounds like you’re feeling rather neglected.

    I merely want to point out that it sounds like – whether because of his refusal to engage, or because of a lapse in communication from another angle – you’ve built up an amount of resentment that is difficult to untangle.

    Does he seem to understand how frustrated you are, or why you’re concerned about his hygiene? It isn’t your responsibility to educate him, and you seem to be feeling rather burned out on the mental load front, but understanding what the communication looks like in other areas in your relationship can help us give some specific pointers or advice.

    Not to drone on forever, but a final point for now: if you want to end a relationship in your life for any reason, you are allowed to do so. No one can stop you from doing that, nor should they try. You get to decide how your life proceeds insofar as who has access to you on a personal, intimate level.
