My (21F) boyfriend (24M) said I smell like my father.

When my boyfriend and I first met, he had complimented me on my perfume. He really loved the way it smelled on me. I was very flattered and touched that he would say such nice things about me. He would make an effort to pull me closer when I wore perfume and he would say it made him feel like he wanted to reach out and hug me.<br><br>I lost my mother and father six months apart from each other. When my dad died, my sister and I emptied his room. My dad was a pretty basic guy when it came to basic men’s items like deodorant or cologne, or even shampoo. He had a lot of basic men’s toiletries that he didn’t even end up using and I took a lot of his unscented deodorant.  When I used his deodorant, my sister mentioned that it smelled like my dad. And I told her that was gross. But she said that she was sorry if she made me feel bad and that she had only been commenting on the smell, not on whether it was good or bad. I told her I couldn’t throw away my dad’s deodorant because I couldn’t stand to buy more deodorant after I had already hoarded a ton of it.<br><br>So I used the deodorant he gave me for months after. And yesterday, my boyfriend noticed that I smelled like my dad again. But this time, he was angry. He said that he doesn’t like my dad’s smell. And I was so hurt because I thought he was just being mean to me about my dad. I tried to tell him that I had just used up my dad’s deodorant, it was the last of it, but my boyfriend said it didn’t even matter and that he doesn’t like it.<br><br>He says he doesn’t want to touch me or hold me if I smell like my dad. He said that smells makes him sad. But I think it’s really messed up that he doesn’t like my dad’s smell. He says it’s nothing personal and that my dad simply doesn’t smell good. I don’t think my dad smells bad. He smells the way most men smell. I think my boyfriend is being really disrespectful and I think it’s fucked up that he would say something so hurtful. I would never say that about his family. I’m angry and hurt and I don’t know what to say to him. How can I tell him that it’s so fucked up to be so hurtful and mean? Do I just break up with him?<br><br>TL;DR: my boyfriend told me that my deodorant makes me smell like my dad. He doesn’t like my dad’s smell. He said it makes him sad and that he doesn’t want to hold me. I don’t understand why he doesn’t like my dad’s smell. I think he’s being disrespectful. How do I tell him that it’s fucked up to be mean?
