After we broke up, my dental problems are done…

I used to date a guy with terrible dental hygiene, and yeah, it totally messed with mine. We broke up almost a year ago, it wasn’t the only reason, but a big one.

He got lazier with it over time. And he tried kissing me with bad breath, and he got hurt if I mentioned it. I dropped hints so I bought mouthwash for him, and got us water flossers but nothing worked. So tiring. Dude even needed TWO dental cleanings because his teeth were that bad.

Then my recent cleaning? The hygienist was shocked how much better mine was with no bleeding gums! I said nothing changed… except not kissing him. This is crazy how someone’s bad habits rub off, right? Does your partner’s hygiene ruin something for you?
