To think my DP is disgusting

Just had a row with DP because he doesn’t brush his teeth. He says he forgets and can go for days. I think it’s bloody disgusting & his teeth are in a state and there is no excuse at all for poor dental hygiene. Aibu

yuck! has he always been like this - is this a recent thing? if so, then is something bothering him? If not and its a normal thing - have you spoken about it to him? i hope he has baths/showers and has other redeeming qualities!

My husband looks like he has cottage cheese on his teeth most days. Not the top teeth though, since they are missing. He thinks I am a bitch because I won't kiss him.
He isn't depressed either, just disgusting.

Stick a note on bathroom mirror that says brush your teeth you manky bastard.

That will remind him.

Does he work? Other people must notice too.

@Schlimbesserung Why are you putting up with this?

MarthaArthur · 23/11/2017 21:57

Does he change his underwear and wash in the mornings? Does he wash his hair? Does he waah his hands/nails?

Rubbermaid · 23/11/2017 21:57

I broke up with someone for this

AnyFucker · 23/11/2017 21:57

I would judge such dirty bastards

And pity the women in relationships with them. How can you abide it ? Confused

Schlimbesserung · 23/11/2017 21:59

crazycatgal that's a very long story and far too depressing, but it's unlikely to be permanent.

ReanimatedSGB · 23/11/2017 22:01

If it's a recent thing then what else has changed? As a PP asked: has he given up on the rest of his personal hygiene, as well? Has he been ill? Or has he always been lazy and just getting more so?

Sodaface · 23/11/2017 22:01

🤢🤢🤮..... that’s an LTB for me!!

MissTeri · 23/11/2017 22:04

My ex was like this. Worst thing was when we went out for a 'romantic' meal and he sneezed into his hands and a chunk of black tooth come out. He NEVER brushed his teeth because it hurt ... it only hurt because he'd not brushed his teeth for so long in the fucking first place. It's grim OP and YANBU.

imaddictedtomn · 23/11/2017 22:06

Is this your DP, OP? Wink

But on a serious note, this would be a deal breaker for me. Just the thought of it makes me queasy!

stopbeingadramallama · 23/11/2017 22:07

I think I’ve just had a bit of sick in my mouth.

How fucking disgusting. I could never be with someone who couldn’t even be arsed to brush their teeth.

YANBU that's horrid. I hate the furry feeling of unbrushed teeth and have to clean them 3 times a day. My friend s sister can't be bothered to brush her teeth and is losing them at the age of 24. She has awful gum disease and foul breath

Mrsmadevans · 23/11/2017 22:21

He is disgusting and is obviously an absolute idiot. I don't know how you can bear him sorry OP but this is gross.

Urubu · 23/11/2017 22:23

DH always brushes his teeth and takes mouthwash if I imply I am in the mood for sex, just saying

Rudgie47 · 23/11/2017 22:24

Beyond disgusting, he will end up losing his teeth really early in life if he carries on like this.
I'd be telling him, to get his act together or that would be it.
A woman I used to be friends with just brushed her teeth once a day and her breath stank so much I was gagging nearly when she spoke to me. She had no end of dental problems.

peachgreen · 23/11/2017 22:25

Dealbreaker for me. Disgusting.

Icanseethepigeon · 23/11/2017 22:25

This again? Just how many manky partners are there out there?

Wolfiefan · 23/11/2017 22:26

Has he always been like this? Does he actually go to a dentist? Any chance he has dental pain and is too scared to get it dealt with?
I'm struggling to understand why anyone would happily walk around with a mouth that tastes like a badger's arse.

Ellie56 · 23/11/2017 22:27

Ewww that is gross. YANBU. I would bin him. 🤢 🤢
