Dear Tete Barbara
My wife is so filthy I do not know whether send her back to her parents for grooming or just to divorce her. When I married her she was untidy but I did not quite notice it as being dirty till we shared a bed. Aunty, she will not bath before sleeping and she smells bad.
Maybe I am too fussy but her breath is just nauseating and I will not speak of the dirty under garments. I am fed up with seeing dirty sheets, smelly weaves and rough feet!

My brother you are in an uncomfortable situation that requires the activation of that special charm called love to see you through. It may seem a tad bit funny to most people the way you describe the discomfort but if you are not happy, then something must be done.
The good thing about dirt is that it can be washed away. You need to become that patient and enthusiastic teacher who has hope in a not so bright pupil. Showing one what should be done, how it is done and when it should be done is one way of helping.
Clean up together sharing tips and have fun in the bath. Just remember she is your wife not your child so treat and teach her with respect. Book a dentist’s appointment, a pedicure and buy her some cute lingerie and a nice deodorant to get her started.
Also compliment her more when she makes an effort in her appearance or when she smells like a garden of roses. Communication is key and let love be.
