How would you feel?
My H drops me off for work in the morning so I always lean over to give him a kiss goodbye. This morning (and a lot of mornings) he just turns his face so i kiss his cheek. he says he has coffee breath or he doesnt feel good or i am sick. there is just always a reason! it just makes me feel like $hit! he is a self conscience person but really?!?!? I am just really hurt!
Re: How would you feel?
can you just try grabbing his face and kissing him on the lips, let him know "I don't CARE about your breath, I want a kiss before I leave" ....if it is because he's self conscious maybe he'll get the hint after awile that you really don't care!
Is he like this at home, effectionate in other ways in public? holds hands, that type of thing?
Yes I have told him about it and he just says it is the whole breath thing. I am kind of a freak about my own breath, i hate the taste of food in my mouth so i either brush my teeth or have gum after every meal and he is not like that so he thinks I will think it is gross! I really could care less. And i have told him that but he is still self conscience about it.
Have you considered it's *your* breath? I know when I'm trying to encourage my H to brush his teeth (like before sexytime) I'll make a deal about brushing mine.
Do NOT just grab him and force him to kiss you. If my H did that I'd punch him in the nuts.
Well i doubt that it is my breath when as in my PP i stated after every meal i brush my teeth or have gum. I brush every morning before we leave for work and every night before we go to bed.
Sounds quite normal to me, especially if he is breath conscious at other times (not just dropping you off in the mornings).
But it seems to be affecting you adversely. For this reason, I think it's important you talk with him further. He needs to know how you feel. If has any consideration at all, from that point forward he will always go out of his way to tell you that he is concerned about his breath, then give you all the kissing you need to make you feel good before you part for the day...
This.
Really? How old are we..12?
I talked to him more about it last night (we have talked about it before i posted on here). He said he didnt realize how big of a deal it was for me. This morning i got a nice big kiss!!!
I mainly said if i am willing to kiss you with bad breath because i love kissing you then you should be willing to brush your teeth when you feel self conscience to kiss me! i dont think he looked at it that way.
Cheers for you! :-D
