How can I tell my boyfriend he has offensive breath and sometimes smells like an!


Question:
My boyfriend, who I've dated for nearly 3 years has bad breath and a funky odor my sister refers to as an "old man smell". I have gotten up the guts to tell him that he has bad breath and purchased a very good mouth rinse for him. He surprisingly took it very well when I told him he needs the rinse, but doesn't continuously use it. I always try to have a pack of gum or mints handy to offer to him when I see him.but that doesn't even mask it! I think it's his diet (he eats high fat foods and LOTS of meat). My family has made comments to me about it and I just don't even want to be close up sometimes. He is a professional and very smart. It's really starting to get old..smelling LOL!

somtimes it has to do with the stomach where old food smells come up from the stomach to the mouth and out..i know its gross but its true i dont know the name of the condition but you can try looking up some conditions

I've never been very tactful in those situations..I would just tell someone they need deoderant or ask them if they ate a sh*t sandwich..mean I know.sorry

Try talking to him about it again and let him know how serious it is. Maybe he has a medical problem.

Perhaps he has germs built up on his tongue, when was the last time he was at a dentist? Buy him a tongue scrapper to get rid of his bad breath germs and a few altoids. As for the body odor it could be due to his diet and or he has health issues or just perhaps he needs a good bar of soap.

ask him if he is brushing his tongue. Those two bumps in the back produce quite a smell. You should brush your toungue to the point of Gag reflex. Re train him girl.tell him to gargle as well.

After 3 years, you should be able to find a way to communicate with him, either by using humor, finding the right moment, etc. As far as the halitosis.does he need dental work? The diet probably doesn't contribute to his health not to mention his breath and possibly body odor. If you cook for him, maybe stress the health benefits and throw in the other benefits that come with it. He must know, or have been told. If I have the slightest odor, I can smell it myself.does his family have the same problem?

You call it old man smell.to me old man smell is the smell of decay. Maybe he needs to see a dentist? A simple thing like getting cavities filled can help if thats what is causing it. When he goes to kiss you one of these days refuse and say something along the lines of I need to brush my teeth before we do this all I taste is onions or whatever, just make something up. Maybe after you do this enough times he will get the poin and join you . If all else fails be really direct with him, you have been with him for a long time now, I highly doubt that he will break up with you if you tell him he needs to lose the bad breath. besides you would probably kiss him more if this breath thing wasn't an issue. He's a guy, perhaps he will do it for the sake of some action.

well u better tell him that he should clean up well.. and if u dont well then u gonna live with a stink guy ..

You know he could be have like a sickness not a serious one but makes a person smell.. ( no offence to ur bf).. :)

unfortunetly,This is a common problem.Your boyfriend more than likely eats sh!t on a stick.They are competitors with hot dog on a stick.This is probably the poor diet you are talkin about.Wash out his mouth with bleach and baking soda for 30 continuous days and have him avoid Sh!t on a Stick stands or at least minimize his sh!t on a stick intake to one a week.GOOD LUCK and YOUR VERY WELCOME.

well you have been with him this long and you must really love this guy to put up with it this long. But you cant aviod telling him cuz it will just cuz a bigger strain on your relationship if you dont futher down the road. So you can go and buy him a new body gel that YOU like and tell him you found this today while shopping and you liked how it smelled. AXE(C) is always coming out with new scents and must aren't to expensive and they work really well. Now on the breath issue, he may have a stomach lining problem that needs to be corrected. If he doesn't like the taste of LISTERINE(C) cuz of the burn then get him the new one that is achohal<-(?) free. It doesn't have the burn and it works just as well. Like someone already said, you been with him this long you should be able to be open enuff to tell him what is on your mind. Eighter thru a picking manner that he will still get the subtle hint or just straight on but with some tact. well good luck with your quest========

no amount of mouthwash can rid halitosis. your boyfriend's plumbing is stuck! i don't think he is that smart if he continues to stink. get medical help! believe me it is a real problem that can and will damage his health.
