He says it's a total turn-off and is going to end it but doesn't know if he should tell her the truth of why.He's asked me, 'as a girl', if I think he should be totally honest. Do you think he should tell her?I know she probably needs to know but I don't think he should be the one to tell her.Reply to this Question

 If you are going to tell her your break out was because of BO, it would cast a bad image of him .BO is not a deadly disease and it can easily be overcome.
There is no necessity to inform her the reasons. Period.

 No, I don't think he should tell her. How hurtful would you find it if someone dumped you for something like that? I mean, I totally understand your friend's reasoning. I think I'd find it hard to be with a smelly guy too but surely at your age there are ways around this problem... like taking showers together or buying gifts from the Body Shop or Lush to encourage fragrance?
If he's resigned to finishing things with her whatever happens I'm with you, I don't think he should tell her. She does deserve to know but it's not his place.
