Hey name change for this

Been with my husband for four years we have two amazing children together and a beautiful house I don’t have to work I still find my husband very handsome even my friends say he’s handsome so I know it’s not just in my head but ever since we started dating four years ago he’s struggled with bad breath after our first like 3 dates I actually tried to end it because it was that bad , but my mum told me just to tell him witch I did he was super embarrassed and he managed to fix it , but for over a year now he just doesn’t bother now he has a lovely smile but his breath stinks ! I can’t even bare to sleep in the same room as him I have bought him new tooth brushes expensive mouth washes and I have actually brought it up to him and he says he will fix it but he doesn’t I will 100% not kiss him and we don’t have sex anymore he keeps making comments about getting down and dirty but it’s giving me the dry bolk and I can’t do anymore than what I have already done

Has he seen a dentist? My exh was similar. Had huge amounts of plaque and needed several appointments to get rid of it.

I would suggest a dentist appointment ASAP however if it's not his teeth you can get a problem in your gut which causes really bad breath I would get it checked out.

He needs to see the dentist. If it's terrible there could be something decaying in there. Does your dentist have a hygienist, they have time to do plaque and bleeding indices and go through what a proper routine should be.
What's his dental routine like? Does he smoke?

Does he floss? I'd agree with others that he needs a hygiene appointment at the dentist.

Bad breath can be a symptom of health issues in the body so I suggest you ask him to see a dentist and then GP and explain that his lack of action is really impacting on your relationship now and you want to support him to resolve the issues.
