My gf breath STINKS! Its as if she farts from her mouth. Can you please help?

[Anonymous]

I'm very close to breaking up with ma girl. Its that BAD. We could be watching a movie and omcebshe lean in for a kiss I say to myself, "Hell no bitch! Not with that stinky breath." She's been feeling down lately because I've been avoiding her kisses and when I do kiss her I have a disgusted look in my face that she has to ask, "is everything okay?" I want to yell asst her and tell her, "No, your fucking breath stinks. Have you've been brushing correctly? Eating bad combination food like oatmeal with soup and shit?" When we have sex her breath become the mist like in that movie, I feel like grabbing a pillow and suffocating her. Its smells like egg, onion, coffee, 2 week garbage. Idl. what da fuck that shit smells like.
Once we were at the store and she was speaking to a guy, and the guy was trying to hit on her. When he got close to her, his nose twitched and he was like, "yea" and walked the fuck away from her. I could not blame him.

You need to tell her directly. I don't understand how people are not aware of how their breath smells, I am paranoid about it! Tell her honestly but gently - that she is beautiful and desirable but this one thing is getting in the way of your physical relationship. And don't say "stink", say bad odor. Bad breath really comes from the tongue, that is where all the bacteria sits. They sell tongue cleaners in the dental aisle - it works wonders! If you care for her, it would be a shame to break up with her over something that can be easily fixed.

Dude, just tell her her breath stinks. It's not hard if you're close to a person.
My best friend isn't the most hygienic person around (which is a nice way of saying she's one step away from falling below society's general meter of acceptable hygiene) and if we have to be somewhere early in the morning or if we're running late, she'll totally skip brushing her teeth. I regularly have to remind her to get her crap together. My telling her that her breath is hot enough to set my face on fire has not yet damaged our friendship.

[Asker]

"hunny, i need to speak to you but I know you must know I've been sodding your kiss. But the truth is you're breath stinks. Have you've been brushing correctly?"

She's sensitive and she'll come at me with her breath. I don't want that

[EyeSeaYew]

You need to tell her, though, unless you're willing to suffer in silence.

[PLLFan21]

This could be a health issue. Sometimes bad breath is a symptom of a gastro-intestinal disorder. Or maybe she hasn't gone to the dentist in years..

Well, if her breath really smells bad like egg, onion, garbage, ect.. Then you should kindly let her know that her breath smells bad, and I know you brush your teeth, and I just wanted to let you know, if you dont know already... that's why I haven't been wanting to kiss you much, ect. Or grab her some mints, minty gum, ect...

Good luck! ~

[PLLFan21]

I can't deal with stank breath either, honestly...

[Asker]

Tell me about it. My friend and I once ordered Chinese food and she was there. She sneezed next to a friend of mines, and his nose literally started having seizures and his face was disgusted. He did not know whether to eat the food or not. He lied and said he wasn't in the mood for it. When he offered to my other friends they all said "no." My girl totally aloof.

[PLLFan21]

Nose having seizures? That's crazy.. wow , hmm...
I wouldn't have ate it either, if it was my Chinese Food..

[GrowStrong]

your a fooking ass hole and i hope she dumbs you. bring it up to her if it bothers you that much wow to hear you talk about your GF this way disgusts me more than any smelly breath would...

[Asker]

You probably have bad breath. I'd like you to be around someone with bad breath 24 hours

[EvilPimp]

LMAO!!! LMAO!! LMAO!!!

[EvilPimp]

Tell her this little rhyme

"I'm not trying to be mean but you need some Listerine, not a sip or a swallow BUT THE WHOLE DAMN BOTTLE!!

[Asker]

LOL... MH for that rhyme. I have to tell her though in a nice way

[EvilPimp]

Thanks LOL!

[yesmylove]

I'm just wondering how she doesn't smell it herself? Lol. Just tell her when she goes in for a kiss and asks you "what's wrong?" Just be like you're breath kind of smells that's all. I feel like it's dumb to break up with her without trying to fix it first especially since it's something that can be fixed by her just brushing her teeth.

[femmeme]

This.^ She deserves the MHO.

[Asker]

The thing is I've seen her brush her teeth. She seems to do a good job. An hour later that shit be stinking.

[yesmylove]

Maybe she brushes her teeth but not her tongue, that's where most of the germs are. Or it can be something wrong with her health?

[Asker]

She be brushing her tongue. I've seen her. She is hygienic but I'm really not feeling that breath.

[yesmylove]

That's pretty odd if she brushes her teeth and everything well hmm maybe tell her to do it more often

[Mesonfielde]

I think it might be a problem with her teeth, although I will not envy the dentist.

[yesmylove]

Yeah because if she has good oral hygiene the her breath should NOT be smelling that bad.

[Retrospectlady]

My heart s breaking as I read the hurtful things most of you are saying. My hygiene is great, I even pulled 70% of my teeth, I've change my diet, I've wasted thousands of dollars going to the dentist and the doctors, telling them about this condition hoping for a cure... only to continue to suffer in silence. I scrape my tongue and chew gum hoping not to offend people only to make my stomach hurt from chewing gum all day and all night and it still smells. It's nothing I'm doing wrong, if I could fix it I would. Stop punishing people that are hurting just as much as it hurts you! We are suffering, too. This hurts us every second!

[Isabellafay]

suffering from the exact thing, tried everything. changed my diet, extreme oral hygiene. I only eat vegetables and pieces of chicken. following the fodmap diet. doesn't help. it's definitely a stomach issue.

[CurtisCarlson]

It's because your mothers had ground beef while she carried you in her tummy.

[pr3ttybr0wn]

its gotta be a health problem. my cousin used to be like this and i'd throw hints until I finally just told him, ur breath stinks like its coming from the inside. even when hed brush and chew gum it still stank. he changed his diet and now he doesn't smell
I don't know how u kiss and fuck that tho

[femmeme]

Lol at the story about the guy who was like "yea...". But just be honest with her. Say honey, you know I love you and think your so hot, but you need to brush your teeth. Your breath smells like shit. It's that simple.

[Asker]

She's going to feel insulted and then she's really going to come at my face with that breath. Hell naw, I'm not down with that. If you smelled it you'll know where my frustration us coming from

[femmeme]

No, I know. But the thing is, how can she not know? I know when my breath smells, because you can smell it when you're breathing. You have to be honest with her. I'd rather my boyfriend say my breath smells than I'm fat. At least I can brush my teeth. It's an easy fix.

[Asker]

I really want to avoid that. She gets sensitive and starts breaking stuff for the simplest thing. Her teeth been getting brown and yellow too

[femmeme]

Well, I don't know what to tell you, man. You either tell her, or suck it up and wait for her to realize it herself, which might never happen.

[Mesonfielde]

Well she needs to wash it more often and see a dentist or something. It could be a bigger problem too though.

[Anonymous]

There's no way around it really…you're just going to have to tell her. Obviously be very VERY gentle about it. The next time she notices you being weird/avoiding her kisses tell her that you've noticed her breath isn't the freshest lately and you're worried about her. Be as considerate as possible while getting your point across. Even make up a "friend that had halitosis" or something so she doesn't feel as bad. Like theoryofavarice said, if you don't tell her she'll never know.

[Anonymous]

lol this is fucking hilarious. You just gotta tell her, but not like how you told us. haha Be as polite about it as possible, and try not to make it sound like it's her fault, just ask her if she's been brushing, and that it's so bad you're worried she might have a health issue and that she should maybe get checked out, because you love her.

[washize]

She could have a medical problem of some sort. Such as halitosis or Tonsil stones.

Either way that is a deal breaker for me. I can't deal with people who smell bad.

[Asker]

Thank you!! My friends even have realized it. People look at me like how I handle that.

[washize]

Yeah, that isn't normal. I mean if you want to stay with her, talk to her about it, go to the dentist with her (or ears throat/nose doctor)

But I would never put up with that.

[TheoryOfAvarice]

Why can't you just tell her? If she doesn't know, then she can't do anything about it!

[ArabianPwincess197]

why doesn't she carry mints etc that would freshen her breath

[Asker]

Idk, not even with mint if I'm being honest. It wasn't like that. Its been 3 months.

[ArabianPwincess197]

well i can't think of anything else but her carrying listerine/toothpaste or gum on her

[SuperNurse42]

Carry some gum and Altoids and offer them to her every time you two hang out.

[Stacyzee]

This is terrible?
Why not try speaking to her about this, that's the only way this can be resolved.

[Anonymous]

Tell her the truth. You can probably save your relationship. Ask her to go to the dentist and get checked out.

[Anonymous]

Let her know about the problem, maybe before you have sex you can slip a mint in her mouth

[TheOldMan59]

99% of the time bad breath is due to bad diet. The other 1% is due to bad teeth. Just FYI.

[Anonymous]

tell her straight to her face

her mouth washing ritual isn't working

[Anonymous]

Keep offering her gum nd make little hints like dam my breaths kikn or little things

[apple24]

I can't help her buy her some medicine!
