Help my freaking wife is slowly killing me by burning scented wax

not jerk off

take all the warmers and throw them in a dumpster away from the house. Keep doing that until she stops buying them.

Very simple solution: shit your pants, and tell her those scent sticks don't smell too right.

Throw them all out. I know what you mean. Candles produce soot.The fake aromas are awful. Not good for you.

If she likes wax so much, tell her to start waxing your carrot.....

Eventually she will not like the smell either I promise.

They are bad for the air, they burn of byproducts of oil
Tell her to buy beeswax candles, they are good for the air when they burn.

Let her know a class of endocrine disrupting chemicals known as phthalates are used as aromatizers (supposedly help disperse fragrance) and she is creating a toxic cloud of hormone disrupting crap. Hope you don't have kids.

Besides that there are many other compounds that you don't want to breath being produced by those candles. Get a hepa air filter for smell, clean carpets empty trash etc to keep human smells down. Don't give the woman incentive to burn chemical waste.

Some people are more sensitive to what is bad for you, than others. Other things that send me in a spin are deodorant spays, and air sprays yuk..

The best candles and only ones I will use are from bees wax, natural, and positive for you. Smell like honey.


Most candles are made of paraffin wax, which creates highly toxic benzene and toluene when burned (both are known carcinogens). In fact, the toxins released from paraffin candles are the same as those found in diesel fuel fumes.

On top of that, many scented candles also have wicks that contain heavy metals like lead, and even a few hours of burning them can create levels of airborne heavy metals that are much higher than the acceptable limits. In the US, candle wicks are supposed to be made of cotton or paper, but studies have found that as much as 30% of candles contain heavy metals in the wicks.

“A candle with a lead-core wick releases five times the amount of lead considered hazardous for children and exceeds EPA pollution standards for outdoor air, says the CPSC, which is why they banned lead wicks in 2003. Exposure to high amounts of lead has been linked to hormone disruption, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, and numerous health problems.” (source)
Petro-soot from paraffin candles gives off the same soot as the exhaust of a diesel engine, and is considered just as dangerous as second hand smoke, causing problems from headaches to lung cancer. Paraffin fumes have been found to cause tumors in the kidneys and liver of lab animals.” (source)

There is lots of information out there regarding candles. Show the misses, she would probably be shocked, most people are not aware.

Beeswax candles have many positives.

But, here’s a benefit that is not as well known – and the science behind it is almost mystical:

The bright flame of a beeswax candle produces the same beautiful light spectrum as the sun. As the candle burns, negative ions are emitted that clean the air and, in turn, invigorate the body.

Negative ions are drawn to positive ions. Positive ions hold on to airborne things like dust, mold and odors; the negative ions latch on to the “contaminated” positive ions and weigh them down this causes the contaminated positive ions to fall to the ground thereby cleaning and purifying the air. A perfect example of this phenomenon is rainstorms. A rainstorm is a negative ionic event, which is why we say the air smells so fresh after a rainstorm.

And I know for sure my room where I work and hang out doesn't stink, When she said it stinks I almost took it as an insult, I wash my ass clean and do all the laundry regularly

It is sometimes better to go without. Lose everything physical but retain your soul and purpose to live.

Enjoy the nano diamonds you are inhaling that are being embedded into your lung tissue.

Nothing you can do bro. You're gonna have to fake your own death and move to Mexico. It's literally the only option you have.

Damn women and candles. My wife has started three fires from candles. Throw the damn things out with her.

Clean your room. Top to bottom. Dust it ceiling to floor and wash everything in it. Vacuum.

Then help her clean the whole house. By help her I mean you clean the house and ask her before you throw her things away.

Cut up onions in a bowl cleans musty smells.

The most important thing is to clean your house.

Then if she really wants to bring wax you can buy her some nice bees wax candles.

Wouldn't that hurt?

See if she will simmer small pieces of stick cinnamon and cloves in plenty of water instead of the wax things. If she likes that kind of scent, genuine spices gently simmered smell much better.

dude you need to take her to the health food store, whole foods or the like and shower her the essential oil collction... it will be healthy to breathe that in, not toxic gas

its called an " OIL DIFFUSER "

you can breathe in peppermint something like that

Burn the house down, blame the candles.

Money+candle problem solved.

(Get fire insurance

Crack the window open

My mom would do this in an old cast iron tea kettle on our pellet stove.

Whole house smelled like cinammon. Swear she simmered that smell right into the logs.

First of all, why do you have your own room? You are married. Otherwise, I agree I hate candles. I used to like them when I was younger now I like the LED candles, ambiance without the smell.

You need to give the house a good scrub to keep down smells.

Every man needs his own room, garage, shop. Mine happens to be the greenhouse, but nevertheless, all men need a space away from women.

I make my own candles from the good stuff and I use quality essential oils.

Tell her to stop buying them from the store. Make her own. She might like it.

Tell her to keep them out of your area.
