A US lady living with Trimethylaminuria, a condition that causes body fluids such as breath, sweat, saliva, and urine to emit a strong fishy odour, explained that it left her with little confidence and fears of not being accepted.

This she shared on her TikTok handle @iiluvfaye222 while explaining how she ended up with a much older man as she accepted herself with all her flaws.

The woman speaks about her disorder

The woman started by explaining that her reason for having a 69-year-old baby daddy at the age of 29 is not what people think. She further states that she suffers from a condition called Trimethylaminuria (TMAU), which causes body odour that no amount of showers or perfumes can get rid of. She adds that the condition lowered her confidence, so when he showed up and didn't care about it, it made her feel wanted.

She goes on to say that after she had a baby, her way of thinking changed, and she no longer cared about being accepted but wanted peace and a loving environment for her baby, which she wasn't getting from her older man. She finished off by advising others not to settle, adding that knowing your worth is the first step to that.

Many expressed it was their first time hearing of the condition, saying they were happy she had learnt to accept herself as she is, without a need to be validated by a man.

Others, however, were disappointed by the age gap between her and her baby daddy, calling her brave.
