Oh I wish! I have bought TWM many wonderful smelling aftershaves and other manly products, but no longer waste my money. He smells of Wright's Coal Tar soap (his favourite), grooming is not a concept he readily understands I'm afraid, but at least he's clean. 
Mr. S. and I are like chalk and cheese in many ways, but after 38 years of marriage we seem to have more in common than we used too.
We've gradually become appreciative of one another's preferred music and have found a mutual interest in art. I still hate football and he continues to struggle with my choice of documentaries.
Like you grannyactivist we share all the important things. I still find Mr. S. handsome and desirable and he's more than happy to wear the after shaves that I choose so he always smells good
.
So, to reiterate oldbatty's question, does Mr. g smell good too?
So, after a very busy lead up to Christmas we hosted our family and other visiting friends through the festivities right up until yesterday afternoon. Today I have been a vegetable; with not an ounce more left to give I parked myself in an armchair and, apart from walking the dog, just gave myself over to doing nothing all day. The Wonderful Man, on the other hand, has done an equal share of hosting and busyness, but his idea of relaxing is to get on his bike and cycle the Devon coast to coast route - a mere 102 miles up hill and down dale.
I love the bones of the man and he me, but we really are chalk and cheese in so many ways. He loves adventures, watersports and cycling, I like a good book, family history research and the theatre; he's terribly untidy, I like things neat; he drinks strong black coffee, I have a latte; he's tall, fit and handsome, I'm short, fat and right now I'm fit for nothing.
It's very fortunate that we share all the important things, but some days the contrasts between us are quite stark. What about you? Do/did you mostly share similar interests and hobbies, or are/were you too chalk and cheese?
