<human>: My girlfriend's poor hygiene has been causing, or at least exacerbating, problems with her vaginal area. I'm not looking for a diagnosis or anything, but I'm concerned because she hasn't been acknowledging it as a problem. She has complained of the issue for so long, I'm talking about months here, that I started to suspect she was making things up. She wasn't.

The main issue is that she refuses to see a doctor. She has health insurance and transportation, so that isn't holding her back. Her biggest defense as to why she hasn't yet is because she hasn't been able to "mentally prepare herself" for having a stranger examine her. I understand that kind of anxiety, but at the same time it blows my mind. It's her freakin' body, man. She only gets one of those, so why would she or anyone else risk damaging it? 

Consequently, we no longer have a sex life. This is an issue that wasn't a problem initially, but after 4+ months it's starting to get to me. Especially since it is a health issue that she (more than likely) has control over. An issue that was out of her control, such as chronic disease or something, would be understandable. I could live with that since I'm satisfied with the relationship in general. But, this is totally getting to me and has become something that is causing me to lose respect for her. Especially since I am so damn attracted to her. Now I'm spending less time with her because of sexual frustration, and I feel guilty about that.

I guess this issue has as much to do with me and my emotions as it does her. In fact, I'm kind of pissed at myself for being so pissed off about it. But, it *is* a problem and I'm not sure how I want, or need, to deal with this.

What are your opinions? What would you do? Is there a deeper issue here that I'm missing or just not acknowledging?

<bot>: My girlfriend isn't taking care of herself in a way that I feel is appropriate, and it's causing me more distress than I want to admit. Wat do?
