Put off sex and can't get dp to sort out bad breath issue

[DogsandBaby]

18 weeks now and still suffering from smell aversions and nausea, although much improved from how I was. My dp wouldn't dare push for sex but I can tell he is desperate. However, his breath sets off my nausea terribly and I can't be intimate with him because of it. I've tried to kindly suggest a visit to the dentist (He hasn't been in 3 years) and brushing his teeth a bit more often.
I feel ridiculous for having to ask a grown man to attend to his personal hygiene and he gets offended no matter how I say it re: teeth brushing and not feeling in the mood for sex.
AIBU or is he?

I don’t think you’re being unreasonable asking your other half to brush his teeth!!! If he wanted to be intimate that badly surely he’d obliged you anything you wanted? I’m not pregnant nor have I been but I know lots of ladies who’ve told me about how bad their aversions to all kinds of smells was. Hope it gets better for you soon!

If he's that desperate to get laid then he'll brush his teeth!

Yanbu. I'm constantly asking my DH to brush. He's got good dental hygiene anyway, but my super sensitive pregnancy nose still can't cope!

Tbf my DP has excellent dental hygiene and I still can’t cope with his breath at times! Pregnancy is ridiculous!

I made my DH brush his teeth before sex in my first trimester because I could smell butter on his breath and butter made me nauseous. I didn't dress it up, just said "please brush your teeth, the smell of butter is making me feel sick".

Just tell him, it's teeth brushing or seeing to himself for the foreseeable.

I'm 24 weeks tomorrow & I still can't cope with any smells. Dh knows how bad it's been for me & I simply have to say to him can you please brush your teeth or keep your coffee cup on the other side of the room etc etc & he understands. I do explain to him that I feel bad having to say to him but as he says I'm the one having to deal with the nausea & he realises I'm not doing it to be horrible. I can't wait to be able to walk in the kitchen & not have to walk straight back out again!
