Sorry to hear about your problems William. Please do read the thread in my signature block that Jesse referenced. You may find some helpful ideas. A big concept to pull out of that may be to reapproach with social products rather than trying to brute force it with none. Reconnect at the emotinal level and the physical will follow. The other article you mentioned is here: > [@MHC-correlated odour preferences in humans and the use of oral contraceptives](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/mhc-correlated-odour-preferences-in-humans-and-the-use-of-oral-contraceptives/21767): > > Abstract Previous studies in animals and humans show that genes in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) influence individual odours and that females often prefer odour of MHC-dissimilar males, perhaps to increase offspring heterozygosity or reduce inbreeding. Women using oral hormonal contraceptives have been reported to have the opposite preference, raising the possibility that oral contraceptives alter female preference towards MHC similarity, with possible fertility costs. Here we test… What it means is that certain birth control pills affect a woman’s sense of smell as it relates to MHC factors. That is how genetically similar she is to a given male. Studies indicate that women are subconsciously attracted to men with a different MHC combination. I say subcousciously as they do not realize that it is coming into play. The studies that looked at this indicated that the following problem can arise: A woman taking the pill is attracted to a guy and they marry. Even her sense of smell says he is the guy. However, if she stops taking the pill then her sense of smell defaults to normal. Then her “nose” tells her that this is the wrong guy. Once again all subconscious … but a potential problem none-the-less. --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/advice-for-pheros-with-spouse/28840)._
