First of all i'm 26 and my GF is 25. We've been dating for 8 months. My girlfriend has developed a hole in the front of her 2 top front teeth. The hole is at the gum line. I'm worried that if she doesn't do anything, it will get worse and they will fall out. My problem is she won't go to the dentist (no dental insurance) even when I told her I would pay. This is embarrassing b/c sometimes food particles get stuck in it, and it's disgusting too. I can't bring it up b/c she will obviously become angry. But damn, she needs to take care of herself. She also gives the excuse that she is poor. Well she lives with her mom and works part time at a job that pays 7 bucks an hour. So it's her fault she is poor, she's a grown woman. Get another job, work some overtime. Something, don't just sit there and do nothing and let your teeth fall out. Everything else about her is perfect, but I don't know if I can put up with someone who obviously doesn't care about themselves.

To be fair, I brought up the whole thing about 2 months ago. She works in retail so she said after the holiday season when things slow down she will see about going to the dentist. Well it's practically Feb and it doesn't seem to be at the top of her "to do" list from what I have observed. She also says it's not my job to pay for her dentist. It's like she is too proud or stubborn to take my help. I've tried to overlook it, b/c I'm not perfect either. But if you have a problem that you can fix, I believe you should at least make an effort to correct it. Oh here is the kicker, she said when she gets her tax return she wants to use that money to get her outside cat shots and stuff to bring it in. I felt like shouting F*** THE CAT GO TO THE DENTIST WITH THAT MONEY!! lol
