How to tell your boyfriend he has bad breath.
He’s sweet. He’s caring. He’s a bunch of fun. He loves kissing you and you always wanted a boyfriend who was affectionate. There’s but one problem. Your boyfriend’s breath stinks. What do you do about it? Do you break up with him? Do you constantly keep breath mints and chewing gum on hand? Those aren’t the right answers. We’ll help you AND your boyfriend get through this.
First off, you need to know that your boyfriend need ssomeone to let him know he has a problem in a caring and compassionate way. It’s possible your boyfriend doesn’t even know he has bad breath. It’s possible he’s been wandering around all these years making everyone around him a bit queezy with his bad breath. Who knows, he could have been going on his entire life being the “smelly breath guy” and not even know it. Everyone who converses with him fears the up close and personal chat because they know they’re going to get sprayed in the face with a toxic vapor so strong even the devil couldn’t think up something so heinous and foul.
You may also want to consider the thought that your skunk mouth boyfriend knows he has bad breath. When a person knows they have bad breath, they do one of two things. A person who knows they have bad breath willl brush their teeth and rinse with mouthwas constantly. You can find a person who has bad breath will always have gum and mints on hand. This is the person who is miserable, lacks self-esteem, and is literally altering the was he functions because of his chronic halitosis. He may talk out of the side of his mouth, avoid up close converations, avoid intimate kissing or “make out sessions” unless he has just brushed, rinsed, popped in some gum or a mint, and feels like his foul mouth odor is masked. The other personality taken on by someone who has bad breath is the type that just doesn’t care. You rarely see him brushing or doing anything else to help his bad breath. The one who is trying is miserable. The one who isn’t trying just doesn’t care or has tried for a long time and has simply given up on the notion that he will ever have fresh breath again.
What you should do is pay attention to your boyfriend’s behaviors over the next week or two. Find out if he knows he has bad breath. A sure sign that he is aware of his bad breath is constant cum chewing or sucking on breath mints. If you’re confident that he is aware that his breath stanks then here’s what you can do to let him know, to help him, and to not hurt his feelings or put him on the defensive.
You must remember that when someone has chronic bad breath, and they’re aware of it,
they can act defensive, ashamed, guilty, and embarassed.
