Help! He’s just moved in and he’s a total slob

Solve your sex, love & life troubles

TV’s STEPH and Dom parker, 52 and 54, draw on their 20 years of marriage to solve your relationship problems . . .

QMY PARTNER moved in to my flat five months ago (we were together two years before that) and he’s yet to put his towel in the wash.

When we lived apart I’d always wash his towels, so I never noticed his hygiene blindness until a few months ago when his towel started to smell.

I decided to say nothing and see how long he would

leave it. Now, I think it could stay there for years. He also doesn’t shower every day and is always stroking his beard with his hands.

We went away for a weekend and he didn’t bother to pack his toothbrush — just used mine until I found out. I went mad at him but he thought it was funny and called me a clean freak.

It’s now putting me off getting close to him. How do I avoid sounding like his mother? We’re in our 40s. I love him, but hate his lack of hygiene.
