Default Re: 2 things that bother me... not sure what to do

I agree with NorthIndyCpl: If you like this lady otherwise, try to fix the problem.

I also agree with Julie: Talk with your wife about it if you haven't. She'll be a top-notch ally in solving the problem.

It may not be that she needs a bath; it could be what she eats. Certain herbs, such as garlic, can cause a body odor. (Y'know, come to think of it, I'm not even sure that's true. A friend of long ago told me that, but she may have been wrong. I never checked it out with a reliable source.)

Anyway, taste her skin. If it's salty, she needs a bath and if you like her otherwise, go the shower or spa route. (I like to keep our spa clean, so the shower would be my choice.) A gift of some of Ranger's soap would be great, along with the perfume, but be discrete here.

The "fat remarks" may just be her way of fishing for a compliment. She may want you to say, "You're not fat! You're fine!" (I'd indulge her, but I'd add: "...but if you don't quit saying that, I'm gonna start believing you!"

Playmates aren't easy to come by. It would be a pity to just go looking for someone else if the problem can be solved.

Keep us up-to-date!
