Randomly 2 years ago my husband said your breath smells and it was really bad at the event we had attended.
Now, my family were at this event and many times due to noise we were talking closely and in each other’s faces to hear things. My mother and sister didn’t say anything.
When I asked my mother, she said my breath didn’t smell otherwise she would have told me. The day my my husband said it smelt, I asked someone else to smell it and they confirmed it didn’t smell.
Never in my life have I ever had anyone say to me or any of my exes.
Plus, I go to the dentist and hygienist regularly and get told my oral hygiene is good. I floss, use interdental brushes, brush teeth daily. They even said nothing wrong with my breath.
So that was that.
Yesterday, we are going on a date. I do my usual teeth cleaning routine.
We get back. Husband says your breath was bad today. That’s why I couldn’t stand opposite you. But weird thing is, he kept sitting next to me and getting close to my face whilst showing me videos on his phone.
I told him that I think he’s saying this to put me down. As recently I’ve had my teeth straightened and whitened and get compliments on it. Also in the past my husband has made remarks about my “looks”. And his own teeth are yellow and he hasn’t been to a dentist in years and doesn’t floss.
In return my husband just start getting more offensive. Saying he finds my breath offensive, it’s offending him etc. I felt I was going crazy. The same evening I met my mother. She smelt my breath and said it didn’t smell.
I’m confused on why my husband is doing this? Or am I possibly missing something about my breath?
