My wife is 6 months pregnant and recently because extremely sensitive to the smell of cigarettes, vanilla, and vinegar. I would say that this started happening 3 weeks ago, and since I smoke, we haven't been intimate that whole time, that includes kissing. Sure, a small peck on the cheek is okay, but actually kissing her is a no way.
I've become very good at masking the smell over the years, but damn, pregnancy noses really sense everything. We even tried this thing where I just don't smoke and I washed all the clothes I was wearing, but nope, didn't work. She really, really can't stand these 3 smells & it really beats her up. My daughter is a baker but hasn't baked for the past 2 weeks because my wife can't stand the smell. Wondering if we should find loopholes or should we just not be intimate until this passes.
edit: lots of you are telling me to quit. i've literally mentioned that i'm not smoking at the moment and haven't been since this thing started.
