Trying not to laugh Braincell - but when it happens it's pretty horrific I know.  My H went from a gentleman to a debauched randy teen.  It was pretty shocking to watch.

It's called disinhibition and is caused due to the hormonal and brain changes that reduce the blood flow to the prefrontal cortex. -- these lead to the dirty/grumpy old man/woman stereotypes.

Just found this and laughed so hard I had to lie to D17 about what was so funny.  H wears Axe all the time now where he never wore anything before and the girls have been giving him serious grief, telling him he is like a 12yo boy!  I'm like, kids you have no idea!  And the picture of him as a teen with longer hair-but sadly not as long as it now!  The similarities go on and on.  What a nice bit of comic relief.

 ;D bipolared.  We have to laugh

That reminds me of my H trying too hard to convince himself at BD - he never wore cologne, but purchased a bottle of Clinique Happy. The smell made my stomach lurch and it didn't seem to have the effect on his mood that he desired.  He's stopped wearing it recently, hopefully it ran out.

My H has started to wear AXE, I can't stand it.....it happened after BD......I was talking to my guitar teacher and he said what's wrong with axe's it's like Febreze but for your body....nothing else covers up the smell of sweat like AXE   ;)  Bearing in mind he is 28.  H is 43 yrs young ???.  I guess he needs something heavy duty when he's been with OW before turning up at the office.....no time for a shower etc... ::)

No Axe for mine, thank God. He has grown a beard, though..and is now complaining about the grey in it.  ::)

From way back in September...

My MLCer had many physical ailments, both real and I believe imagined, the year or so following BD.  I do think it is the stress of the inner turmoil.

Oh my stars and garters, YES!! Hy H has been sick more in the past 6 months than he was in 6 years previous to BD! Now he's getting ulcers...says maybe it's stress. Ummm...ya think?!

Yep. mine too.  Headaches, and one day I got an automated message saying scrip is ready to be picked up at pharmacy for H.  Right away my mind goes to one of two things: Viagra or antidepressants.  So,  I rushed down there to see for myself.  He had just picked it up minutes before I got there.  It was for a headcold.  But...having said that, I'm one of those natural people.  We never go to the Dr for sniffles and stuff like that.  I brew up a concoction or two, and start mass doses of C, etc.
Now that H doesn't have me to do his doctoring, he goes straight to the chemicals.

- - - - -

I will also add that he looks absolutely terrible.  His face is Sooo bloated and pasty with little pink blotches here and there.  Like a blowfish.  I was telling someone about this, and they said it could be from excessive drinking.  (liver shock ???)
Who knows.    but, whatever she's feeding him, keep it up - makes me look good.

LOL TT!!

Hoss was always way into high end cologne.  Axe entered the house at one point  ??? before BD - but after - wait for it - he switched to OLD SPICE.  Made a really big deal of it.  Literally said to me (after he has moved out!!): "It was good enough for my grandpa, so it's good enough for me!".  ??? ::)  Then he smelled like teenaged sweat, and the last time I saw him, he didn't smell like anything.  I guess that's a step up!
