have him shower as soon as he gets home from work -- ask him NOT to use aftershave -- have him brush his teeth before he comes near you. Tell him you are just overly sensitive to everything (I made my husband sleep on hte couch if he ate garlic when I was pregnant - it seemed to ooze form his pores, eventhough when I'm not pregnant I don't notice a thing!)
