[quote=Anonymous]Op....I am so sorry.  I am 35, in my first year of marriage and 38 weeks pregnant.  My tall dark and handsome husband has developed the WORST breath in the last year.  I have told him about it and it was terrible because he is so sensitive.  It ruins our time together.  Once I smell it, I am immediately in a bad mood.  I cannot tell you how much it effects me.  We have not been intimate since March of this year and to be honest, it has had a huge and negative impact on our marriage.  He is they type that doesn't smell it and doesn't think it's a problem.  If someone told me what I told him of his breath and the impacts it has had on our relationship, I would run, not walk to the closest dentist, ENT, allergist, etc.  he does have allergies and is kind of a mouth breather, which also sucks in bed b/c if he is facing me, the smell wakes me up.  He is a confident man, who is working in his dream job, which requires close talking to other individuals....I told him I'm concerned about his career.  I mean, the issue is offensive.  I feel terrible bringing it up, but he is not doing anything about it.  I used to snuggle with him on the couch and now....I don't really go near him.  He went to an ENT this week and told the dr that I commented on his breath...the dr said everything looked ok, there were no tonsil stones, no infection in the throat, etc.  I think he has more appts set up with dentist and allergist.  He does brush and rinse with listening but it does nothing.  Nothing.  It actually grosses me out and being pregnant does not help.  He has a big, very serious job and I can't imagine. What co workers think.  All I think about is when I'm in labor and he is next to me breathing....what else am supposed to do?  I give him hints all the time.  I hand him gum all the time, I don't kiss him, and we never are close to each other. I actually really really miss being hugged and with the anxiety of a pregnancy and a very ill mom, I have really needed a hug or two this year.  It's very bad...I can understand how you feel.  Maybe Therabreath will help? [/quote]
