Sorry for writing in again, I have a problem with my boyfriend again! Every time I see him he tries to kiss me but his breath really stinks (bad words) I try and brush him off but sometimes I can't no matter how much gum I give him the smell's always there. I thought it was just in the mornings but even that in the day time the smell is there too. It makes me so sick!

Please help tell me what do, is there anything I can give him??

A male reader, george smith South Africa +, writes (19 November 2009):

darling i clearly undestand your worry and it is worth worrying about.here are some facts you probably need to know:

1)spoiled breath may be a result of insuffitient tooth care (though highly rare)

2)it may be a result of some dental sickness(very often this is easy to overcome once the patient realises they suffer from it)

3)it may be a result of unclean oesophagus (food pipe that leads to the stomach)

3.1) problem No. (3) above can either be a result of:

3.1.1) the patient not drinking enough water to clean up the food pipe hence some food remaining stuck on the sides of the food pipe which will eventually be digested in this "too close to the mouth" position or simply decompose which all result in spoiled breath that, when not carefully looked at, may be confused with dental problems

3.1.2) the patient having a problem with eating dreams. i would suggest you ask your boyfriend if he ever eats in his dreams. chances are that some supernatual being (the beings that give magicians the power to perform magic, this is a proven fact!)feed him in his dreams with some physical poison that spoils breath. these beings do this to anyone (regardless of their sex)so that who ever has that person as their partners is fed up with the smell and eventually breaks up with them so that the supernatural being in charge takes over the patient (the posessed person)as their sole lover. such persons hardly find love and if they do it barely lasts and the bad news is that it is very common that the person never gets to know the root cause of the problem with all sorts of bad lucks (UNEMPLOYMENT, BEING BROKE, LOLINESS, etc) dominating their lives, the person may eventually take his/her life away as they find the sufference unbearable.

The supernatural being is not likely to attack you unless someone (ex lovers, jealous people) instruct it to.

solution: seek for help from sychic people but most importantly learn to live with it and pray though prayer is not likely to help because the fact that you contracted the problem in the first place means your spiritual level is low and requires you to uplift it by dedicating your life into praying very emotionally from time to time for life and be in a position to pass any test that positive energies (good ancestors, angels,etc.) may put you through. such tests may involve giving up on habits like sex outside marriage.

good luck

I have the same problem too! My boyfriend's breath smells sooo bad. He eats the most disgusting foods and I never see him brush his teeth. His bottle of mouthwash hasn't lowered since the first time I met him (so i know he doesn't use it)... I stopped offering gum; and I don't even kiss him anymore (If i do, i hold my breath) I tried to hint to him tonight on the couch that something smelt like mold but he just said "oh it's probably my jacket" & I was thinking "more like your mouth". I think the most easiest thing is to just be upfront about it and tell him his breath stinks... I think i'm going to tell him about it next time I see him. Because if you don't... then it's going to continue to bother you and may even effect how your relationship is (isn't it hard to take your own advice!)

i have the same problem with my boyfriend. sometimes its so bad i can't have a conversaiton with him - let along get intimate with him. He says its because he drinks so much coffee and smokes. It smells like his body is rotting. I have tried dropping hints, but now i just say it how it is and tell him to go to the Dentist to get it checked out - just in case he's got a rotten tooth. But getting him to go to the dentist is near impossible. sorry i don't have any advice - but know you're not the only one who has a stinky breathed man.

It could well be more than halitosis. He might have gingivitis, or teeth that either need filling or removing entirely.

Why don't you (gently) ask when was the last time he went to a dentist? and if it has been a while, encourage him to go.

hugs2muchgal agony auntHe might have halatosis. If a good dose of listerine doesn't cure him of his offending breath, get him to see a dentist or something to get rid of the problem.

Also gum doesn't always work, it might just be you're put off by what he eats. Mints and listerine strips are good to have around if it turns out he is not suffering from halatosis but just offending breath.

Hope that helps.
