If they aren’t willing to try to change it then yes. If it bothers you and you have made it clear it bothers you. Yet still they aren’t willing to at least try to remedy it, I would argue that’s not a healthy relationship. And may also argue as to why someone wouldn’t want to address such an issue. It’s somewhat unbecoming for someone to jot care that they smell bad enough for anyone to notice on a regular basis. I mean once I a while maybe but then shower. But laying around in your own stink and just basking in it sounds like an actual health concern. Now if they have some sort of condition and it’s completely uncontrollable. And you love them, then yea. It’s kind of misguided to suggest that you have been with them for however long and now it’s finally bothering you enough to leave. I dono that situation stinks to be in … hahah or if it’s not all the time but when it is, you literally feel sick by the smell of their body. I would say leave. Because you will have a tough time after a good night of sex I would Imagine. Which is a pretty key factor to good a relationship. in my opinion anyways.
Good luck

Absolutely not.
It’s natural. As long as you practice consistent hygiene and put in the effort to stay clean, it’s not a dealbreaker.
Whereas, if they do not put in the effort, don’t care if they smell, or aren’t consistent with hygiene practices… Yes, it’s a good enough reason to leave because it shows a lack of responsibility and basic adulting, to be honest.
Personally body odor is a natural thing and can be widely accepted as well as unaccepted, it depends if a person's natural odor has that smell everyone likes or if it has that smell where everyone starts offering the individual soap or suggests taking a shower.
Bottom line is as long as you shower or bath regularly and don't mind skipping showers on occasions, good hygiene is important no matter what gender you are, being hygienic in general will give people the impression that A: You look after yourself and B: You make yourself to be clean not just for yourself, but for everyone you encounter.
But anyone who dumps an individual over a slight body odor smell, yeah such people do exist and are pretty shallow people, best thing you can do with them is help them understand not everyone will smell like roses, some guys and girls will smell bad occasionally and that's alright to smell bad occasionally.
What kind of "Body odor" are we talking about... i mean it's one thing if your pits stink but it's a totally different matter all together if "pabootido" ( Pa -bootie-Do) is involved "When the "p^ss& smells like the bootie do" or if dude's got "Frumunda" dick cheese "from under his balls"
that would kill fly's.
If you can't stand the way someone smells you should probably move on to less stank filled pastures to do your "grazing"
TO answer your question... YES it could be a very good reason to get away as fast as possible but it depends

No. It really isn't. It can be fixed by a shower and some deodorant. This isn't a fundamental issue unless the person refuses to improve their hygiene.

Not unless you ave discussed the subject with your partner, explained how bad it is and how much you want them to address the matter. . . and they then refuse to do anything.
If it is absolutely intolerable and you've had a conversation with your partner about it and they didn't do anything about it then I guess it's a good enough reason to leave them. I've once been in a similar situation where the guy I was with used to sweat in a really disgusting way in the beginning it didn't used to bother me as much but then things changed and I wasn't attracted to him the way I used to be and everything started bothering me this was a huge turnoff for me and I eventually left him.
If the chemistry is really good and I mean the "smelling one" :D then no.
I heard many times that your partner should smell good to you even if he gets all sweaty. There are cases where it's not just sweat and those can be fixed by showering and using deodorants.No, it’s not really.
relationships are about being able to communicate with each other.
there may be an underlying reason for this type of problem, stress, something on their mind etc.
you talk about it and then move forward with it.
they may not have even noticed, this happened a lot over lockdown with people I know, just letting things slip.Oh yeah it means Bad hygiene. And it means that he is careless about his health. I will talk with him and if he listens to me and be more hygienic then it's fine. Actually it will be bad for my health too if he is smelly. I have got a very delicate respiratory system so maybe bad smell will affect it.

a lack of hygiene is never a good thing... it should be addressed and discussed, and this should be done out of care more than anything else, caring for yourself as well for one another... caring is a great sign of a healthy relationship so if the couple didn't care in the first place then the relationship wasn't as healthy as it could imply a very present lack of proper communication
and if it is a medical condition, more so the reason to check into it, both... as a couple
you think from a fathers point of view, whom would you prefer your daughter to marry?
https://www. girlsaskguys. com/sexual-behavior/q4770546-if-you-think-from-a-fathers-point-of-view-whom-would-you-prefer-your? utm_source=dynamic&utm_medium=iosapp&utm_campaign=question&utm_content=q4770546There is a threshold in my opinion. BO is acceptable and in my opinion even expected. We are human, we sweat. in my opinion it becomes unacceptable when it is obvious that it is poor hygiene. Like you can just tell they aren’t showering enough. Or aren’t showering properly. So like after a hard days work. Acceptable. After the gym or hiking or something. Acceptable. But if they just leave it go and don’t shower. Gross. Not acceptable.
It depends on whats causing the odor.
Sometimes a normal smell smells bad to certain people because of their genetics.
Sometimes a person smells different do to being sick or having an infection or bacterial imbalance.
Basically, is it fixable?When I first started dating, I was honestly sometimes disgusted with my ex girlfriend sometimes. Sometimes, she smelt gross to me because I’m a really clean sanitary guy. But I just muscled it through, until I figured out she wasn’t for me. Now, I think it’s better just to tell your partner that they smell, so that they can fix it. Heck, even buy them perfume.
If it's constant and they don't care then sure I would say so. But if it's odor that comes from a day worth of acitivies and is gone after a shower then no, that's just life. It's circumstantial and depends on what does and doesn't bother you.
It’s enough to have a conversation over. You’ve got to take care of yourself!
Yes if it’s consistent enough. No matter how good the relationship is, it wouldn’t be worth it to be grossed out all the time.
To leave a healthy relationship? No. Just tell them. It's not hard to take a shower, use soap, wash your clothes and put on deodorant. If they do that they'll be fine. Use communication.
I guess it depends on how foul and how chronic it is. Every woman I've dated has smelled absolutely delicious. She would have to be smelling pretty ripe for weeks and months at a time to turn me off to the point of breaking up.
Not at all, and if you really like the person and they like you, you should tell them about it and help them.
It's a delicate subject to bring up. But, an easily fixed problem. It'd be fun and you can fix the issue. Jump in the shower with him.
Everything that bothers you extremely and you're not willing to live with it, is a reason for you to break up and move on in life.
If it's talked about and the person still doesn't change their habits and if it's a deal breaker then it's time to leave and go.
