My boyfriend just got braces, and I don't blame him because they're really hard to clean but... His breath STINKS!!! everytime we kiss it's like *Faint*. How can I tell him he has bad breath without hurting his feelings?

Then just casually tell him I hope you like it and it comes in handy! Then if it doesn't work just sit with him and talk to him nicely

Razhie answered Thursday August 10 2006, 8:04 pm: Maybe you can't tell him without hurting his feelings, but you really need to tell him. It would be way more embarrassing if he walked around with terrible breath for months before someone told him, and of course he doesn't want you to suffer.
Just be honest and straightforward. "I love kissing you but since you got your braces your breath has been really bad." He might just need a gentle reminder to take good care of his new braces. They are hard to clean, but they still need to be cleaned! It only causes trouble if they aren't. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
