Is it weird to still wanna be with a woman who has constant bad breath?
She has bad breath constantly, but I still love her and still wanna be with her, I've even managed to kiss her still.

One thing to know.
Some people have a condition where they will have persistent bad breath even if they practice excellent oral hygiene. One possible cause is bacteria in the stomach, but there are several problems in the digestive tract that result in bad breath.
So, I would advise keeping that in mind as a possibility when you decide on the tone of voice in which you bring this up with her.

Here's something novel... instead of being abusive and passive-aggressive as so many people here are suggesting - why not talk to her about it if it bothers you so much???

@Billybob2 Then, what's the problem???

@HootyTheNightOwl More curious why the dentist hasn't figured it out.

@Billybob2 Maybe she hasn't mentioned it??? She likely sees a dentist once per year for half an hour... they don't have much of a chance to get familiar with your dentistry needs in that time.
If she's nervous or anxious, her priority might be to get in there, get it done and get back out again ASAP.

@Matt85 Yes, well, I'm less tolerant of certain bs now than I was before... and I'm much more likely to see some types of abuse better than others.
Why would you even want to be with someone who buys you a dental hygiene kit over sitting down and talking to you about it, anyway???
Surely, if your partner cared that much and really wanted to help you through a problem, they'd sit down with you and establish if it's a diagnosed problem (everyone here is mentioning a dental issue, which is the most obvious problem... but, did you know that sleep apnea can also cause bad breath??? If she has that, getting dental hygiene products only treats one of the symptoms - she'll still need help from her doctor and dentist to deal with the underlying problem), what you've already tried and how they can help/support you???
For all we know, she might already be practicing good dental hygiene and suddenly being presented with dental hygiene products like "This is a toothbrush - use it" could be humiliating for her.

@HootyTheNightOwl again, sorry that your mum has done stuff like that to you.
i think you are right, that is probably the way to deal with it but however you go about it, you're still gonna cause offense.
the cure for gingivitis, according to google, is really rigorous dental hygiene, the usual stuff but more frequent and thorough. the OP said that it was gingivitis and hey, these things cost money and you have to order them and go out and get them. if someone bought me some Curanail for my 2 moldy toenails, i would probably laugh and be grateful. £18 last time I checked.

Do you want it to be weird? Do you want it to become a fetish? Do you want it to be a thing you associate with yourself?
It's all up to you. 🤷♀
