Have you ever had your wife's perfume remind you of an ex?

Question

I know they say that the sense of smell is the most invocative, but this one's just made me feel really akward.

My wife's found an old bottle of perfume she used to use a lot and have just started using it again. The problem is that it's the very same one that my ex used when we were going out years ago, and that it's bringing back fond memories...

Anyone else find this akward?

Answer 1

YEP!!! I even called my wife by my ex's name. It really messes with you, man!

Answer 2

It would be weird if the relationship with the ex ended in a bad note (no closure).
I once made my boyfriend bought Hugo Boss perfume, and it was the same perfume my ex used to wear. It's not because i wanted to reminisce the lost moments, but i really DO like Hugo Boss perfume!

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/WQ7MW

Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.

The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.

Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

Answer 4

You'll start to treat your wife differently, because you're living in the past. so may I suggest you ask her not to wear that perfume again.

Your ex is your ex for whatever reasons you broke up. Leave it in the past and get rid of the perfume.

No, luckily, I haven't had the problem yet, and I would ask my husband to stop wearing the aftershave. If he continued, I would then tell him why I asked him to stop wearing it. I'd leave the bit off about 'nice memories' though....lol

Answer 5

I made my hubby get a cologne I liked on my ex from college. I still love the scent although the ex is long gone.
When he "accidentally" wears a certain after shave, he smells like my dad and that is SO not cool.

Answer 6

Obviously I don't have a wife, but every cologne that my ex-husband used, no matter how expensive, smelled like a garbage can to me. It shows how I really felt about him. Still, a few years later, those colognes are the worst smelling things in the world.

Answer 7

Ya, sometimes when at party or some where else, I feel the same essence as that of my ex-b/f, that feeling is very irrestible and reminds the moments , when we were together.

Answer 8

The perfume that reminds me of my ex is Drakkar Noir. Personally, it smelled like bug spray, but it reminded me of him.

Answer 9

Nothing wrong with that...my husband has worn a scent that reminded me of an ex...I just enjoyed the moment and carried on.

Answer 10

My husband's cologne has reminded me of an ex. It's an awkward feeling.
