So he said this......

[GarlicBreath]

Been dating a man for just a month, went to his house last night, as I arrived he leaned in for a kiss and said "have you been eating garlic?"
My best mate said I should have laughed it off and I did try but felt gutted and like shit, he tried to get a bit frisky later and I just couldn't as all I could think about was my stinky garlic breath.
I was really pissed off and told him, he apologized but said I was too sensitive.
How would others feel?

I have to agree that "gutted" is over doing it a bit, offer to make him some garlic bread and everyone is ok.

I once ate so much garlic that an old lady at my parents' church had to sit down because she came over all faint with the fumes.

I can't honestly see what is wrong with this. You've been seeing him a month, so you've got to know one another a bit by now. So what if you smelt of garlic? So what? He couldn't care less.

However, you have not confirmed whether you had been eating garlic

If you hadn't, then I can see why you would be gutted. But not if you had been eating garlic.

can't quite see why you were gutted

If I know someone well enough to be physically intimate with them - e.g., have their tongue or penis in my mouth - I'm usually OK to say "gosh, you honk!". But maybe I'm old-fashioned.

Honestly, your reaction was bizarre. Relationships are built on communication, honesty, openness and trust - "garlic breath" is rarely cited on divorce papers.

OP - Had you eaten garlic?

Either he said it rudely or just asked the question because he felt comfortable enough with you to do so. If it bothered you that much then I wouldn't see him again as clearly it's hit a nerve and after a month life is too short to be wondering and worrying about a throw away comment. If it had been me I would have laughed and said yes I have.

OP, you do need to tell us if you had been eating garlic!
