Smells

I’m not tolerant of them, particularly with the ones that he emits. He says he can’t help it and I do believe him but moan nevertheless. It is too much for my nose, it wants sweetness not rancid, fetidness. We manage them, most of the time, these small things, these minor inconveniences. It’s the real stuff of marriage, after all, the rest is flim flam.
