can u break up with someone over bad breath

my boyfriend has bad breath most of the time and i was so turned off by that in the begining we got involved because he was after me for a long time and proffessed his love to me so i finally gave in and i tried to make him take care of this problem because i can not stand it , so he fought with me and said i was superficial and not deep to not to want to kiss him for that reason, i did not know what to do i break up with him like every week because i do not like it and he hates me for being disgusted by that and let him brush or eat gum before he kiss me. i told a dentist friend to take a look at him and she did and he was fine for a while but he is not consistant and does not care, he is a good guy and love me very much and i do not know wht to do, i can not stand someone who is not hygiene conscious for the the rest of my life, is there a way to keep him clean with out offending him?

Hold on...so you already told him he has bad breath, and he fought with you aout it ?? And now he refuses to keep his mouth clean ???

I'm sorry, but I couldnt be with someone who's breathe made me sick.

How would he like it if you didnt take care of your mouth and had stinky breath all the time ??
He wouldnt be happy about it, and I bet he'd tell you to clean your teeth, or eat some mints.

You have to make sure he knows that you still care about him, but make sure he knows that its a HUGE turn off that he doesnt even care that his breath smells.

Eugh, Im sick at the very thought of it.

If he doesn't care about his breath than my next question would be, What else doesn't he care about?

actually i am a little confused about what to do because i see sometimes couples the boyfriend or the girlfriend with bad breath and still together and some nations just i guess in their culture not to brush and life goes on and they r married and having kids i always wondered about that so i was confused about my self because, i like to be clean i thought may be i smell too much and as a punishment my disgust of this problem life send me someone with the same thing i was digusted from and i do not know what he is saying is really true that i am obssessed about being clean and haveing fresh breath, i just do not like any thing smelly though i love natural men smell , and my q. is supposed to be is taking this as a big deal and making it as deal breaker does that mean i am obssessed, when i smell bad breath i just want to puke and smell like **** to me , there r alot of people out there with bad breath and married how do the do that?, do they have a problem in their noses or my nose or is my nose super senesitve and i should do something about it? thank u all guys for the replies

Personal hygene matters... There's nothing superficial about it.

He knows what the problem is, all he has to do is brush his teeth and use mouthwash regularly. If he's not willing to put that much effort into your relationship, you have no need to continue in it.

No - you're normal. That's gross. It's very, very selfish as well.

If he doesn't fix that - then waht other problems are there.

You don't deserve a dude with bad breath.

Okay,
When two people live together. Or sleep in the same bed. In the morning. When you first wake up it is normal for bad breath to be present. He seems like he does not care about how bad he smells, so if he really loves you and wants to sweep you off your feet. He would do his best to look clean and keep smelling nice. There are some people who no matter what they try Smell, whether its from body odour or other stuff. There are products out there to help out. My wife and I used to go for the scope all the time and brush teeth all the time just to make sure not to smell because we were both self concience of it. There is not much else to say. If he does not take care of that then he might not be taking care of other things. There is a big difference between superficial and stating how somebody stinks like a pig and how it makes you sick. Very unattractive and you going out with somebody that makes you feel sick is not right. As far as you finally gave in because he kept after you. Do not use that as an excuse. You gave in because of pressure. You should have said no, you led him on. So now it is time for you to be honest and end it because by the sounds of it there was nothing there in the first place. Can you go on knowing there is nothing there and you just excepted it to make him happy.

Joe

affection and intimate attraction are part of the deal, and for some its more important than others.

i had an abcessed tooth that was fixed but it took a few more trips to the dentist to take care of some nasty breath. to this day, i think my wife doesnt like to kiss as much as she used to because of that, even though it is now fixed.

people wouldnt scoff if you dated a person who refused to shower.

dental hygeine is also important to good health, as a number of studies have shown.

so... you are the one who gets to make the call. if thats all thats wrong, id push him a little more... and if that doesnt do the trick, well then the magic is gone, eh?
