How to tell someone something that may hurt their feelings

[Bertha1924]

Firstly i will admit I am a bit of a pussy when it comes to telling people what I really think (mostly due to my ex being very controlling). I’ve met up with an old flame and we are getting on famously and I have over at his place. However the next morning he wasn’t wearing his dentures and apart from looking about 20 years older without them I just find him really unattractive and it puts me off. He obviously feels comfortable around me to do this. How can I tell him to wear his dentures without hurting his feelings? Can anyone draft me a text as I couldn’t say it face to face. Thanks all.

Ahh this is comedy gold 😂

Imagine that he’s offended and repulsed by your breasts without the support of a bra.

Or imagine that he’s offended and repulsed bu your face without makeup

Imagine how you’d like him to phrase it, and do the same. You might find there isn’t a way to raise it without sounding nasty and shallow

I don't think you should text him this. And I don't think you can ask or tell him to change his behaviour. You can share with him your feelings though, then it's upto to him what he does with that. Otherwise you are being controlling.

You could say you love his toothy grin, it's really endearing.

I'd be pissed off he's stopped presenting his best self so soon. We all like to look our most enticing at the beginning?
