So it was actually yesterday but just now posting. Yesterday I had the brilliant idea to download this app that's a game for couples. One of the games you answer questions, then your partner answers the same questions. Then you guess each other's answers and whoever gets the most right wins a favor. I thought it would be fun but all I did was hurt my boyfriend's feelings.
My boyfriend started a game that was hygiene themed. We don't pick the questions and it's multiple choice, so sometimes there really isn't a good answer. I don't have an issue with my boyfriend's hygiene but I definitely clean myself more than he does. Occasionally he let's himself go a bit too long but I think maybe everyone does that. Just a few days ago he told me that he knows it's time to shower when his balls start to stink. (This isn't like every time, just when he let's it go a few days)
Anyway, so the question was "What do you think of partner's hygiene?" and the choices where "It's perfectly fine", "I really wish they had better hygiene.", "They're hygiene is better than mine", or "It stinks! Get it?"
I didn't want to say it was "perfectly fine" because occasionally he let's himself go. I didn't want to say that I wished his hygiene was better because I usually don't have an issue. So since he literally just talked about he bathes when he starts to stink, I went with the joke answer of "It stinks!"
There was another feature on the app where you can answer open ended questions and have a discussion. I answered several. One was "What is something you wish you did more of in your relationship?" I answered that I wish we did more active things other than watching TV.
He never said anything and we went about our day. Later he came over for dinner and I could tell something was up. He listed things that have been annoying him and I could see why he was upset but it still didn't seem right. Eventually he told me it was because in the app I said that he stinks and I don't like watching TV with him.
I had to assure him that I don't think he stinks. And that I do like watching TV but sometimes I want to do other things. Thankfully this morning he seems to be in a better mood. I also deleted the app and won't try anything like that ever again.
TL:DR Downloaded an app for me and my boyfriend to answer questions and have fun. Ended up hurting my boyfriend's feelings. All he took from it was that I think he stinks and I don't like watching TV with him. Which isn't true.
