As you may have read from my earlier question, Im strugglin to tell her she's gettin a little bit on the heavy side. But in addition to that, her breath stinks! It seriously like a mixture of dead whale and satans a.sshole. I'm not the kind of guy to just come out and tell her (because I'm really sensitive and caring), so I like to drop subtle hints in hope that she will get it. For instance, when she is sleeping, I place breathmints on her tongue. Or, when I know were about to go out for a drive (im the driver), I'll place Listerine on the seat, so when she gets in and is about to sit on it, I say, "hang on a second, your about to sit on the LISTERINE." And even though I say 'listerine' obnoxiously louder than the rest of the sentence, she still doesn't get it. So how can I tell her, sensitively, that her breath makes me want to tie weights to my ankles and jump in a lake?

Try to tell her that you're breath sometimes stinks and you use some products to help you out. so maybe she'll pick up on what you're trying to say. If this doesn't work just tell it to her straight up, but don't be mean say it in a caring kind of way.

Hehe you're funny. :]
But seriously, this might be more than just a lack of teeth brushing. If you have problems with your kidneys, it can sometimes cause bad breath. And the dentists can't detect this, so they may say her teeth are fine. Maybe you should talk to a doctor and have her do some blood tests. They can tell you whether or not it is her kidneys or her teeth that make you wanna hurl.
And if it ain't her kidneys, then at least she'll keep a pack of Altoids handy next time!

My man use to have bad breath but i told him one day.Look we are good friends and need to tell each other about anything that wrong or that we know that can help the other one with getting mad.He agree that was the way it should be that when i told him to tell me if i had a problem tell me and i ask him if i could tell him anything without him getting upset or taking it the wrong way.So i said some time your breath get a little strong and i don't want people to talk about you or stop being around you because of your breath.

Honestly, it doesn't seem like you like your girlfriend very much if you're finding all these problems with her.
But if you truly want to stay with her then just offer her some Listerine or gum. You should take a piece first so it seems a little more subtle and she doesn't just straight out think that her breath smells bad.

if she's your girlfriend, then you ought to have SOME level of communication. If my boyfriend has bad breath, I tell him. If I have bad breath, he tells me. It's called honesty and openness. I'd be mortified to think that something like that would be bothering him and he wouldn't feel comfortable saying something to me so I can fix it. I mean, all it takes is a toothbrush. Just say, "Hey, your breath is kind of bad, here have a breathmint" Is that so hard?

not a good way to answer that but honestly dropping hints is more obnoxious then just saying it out right. Tell her playfully though, and she'll probably be mad for a while, but she'll get over it!
about the weight thing... if it bothers you so much then you aren't in the relationship for the right reasons.

I totally get you dude. I also have experienced the same thing with my gf and i didnt tell her for i dont have the heart to do it. I just pretended to not notice it but the thing is I didnt kiss her that often.
Maybe you should tell her that you have an appointment with the dentist and ask her to go with u and pay for cleaning ang check up. Do it together so still it will be sweet.

Dude...if you were REALLY sensitive & caring you wouldn't be talking smack about her like that. If her breath is really THAT bad then just be honest & tell her nicely. The way you talk about her it shouldn't be long before you dis her for someone else cause you sound as if you can't stand her.

WOW- okay there really isnt any other way to tell her except than to just be upfront. Just say hey babe i need to talk to you about something that has been bothering me and affecting the relationship and break it down. You can say it w/out being an a- hole about it, its all in the delivery!

That is funny but you just have to come out and tell her that you can't stand being within a nose distance away because her breath is hot! No other way around it.
