Is it weird to still wanna be with a woman who has constant bad breath?

@Matt85 She's hot too, I don't wanna break up with her.

@Billybob2 Does she not brush her teeth or does she have gingivitis or something?
Both can be remedied, if you can be tactful enough lol

@Matt85 Gingivitis

@Billybob2 google says you have to take really good care of your mouth. with brushing, flossing and using antiseptic mouthwash, frequently.
you could buy her some as a present lol

@Matt85 She is taller than me, so I only really smell it when she's up in face, of course that's a lot now. lol

@Matt85 Any dude tries that with me... and I'm dumping him on the spot. I had enough of that abuse with my mother, I don't need it in a relationship, too.

@HootyTheNightOwl sorry that your mother mistreated you. i guess it's a red flag thing, which is a kind of a shame to cancel the whole relationship over that one thing.

@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.

@Matt85 I doubt OP is a doctor/dentist, so, at best you have a self diagnosis via him... and it still needs checking out by a qualified professional. If it is sleep apnea, then it could be fatal.
