Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend why chewing "shit-tons of gum" is not an actual alternative to brushing his teeth. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a long conversation with my fiancé about how smoking menthol cigarettes is not a substitute for brushing your teeth. He still isn't convinced. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were kissing. Halfway through the kiss, he rubs his tongue along all my teeth and says, "You need to brush your teeth." FML
Today, my boyfriend thinks he's discovered a big conspiracy by dentists to sell toothpaste. He's arguing that nobody needs to brush their teeth, ever, because all the "new plaque" from food will dissolve the "old plaque", and the only thing he needs to use is breath spray. FML
Today, I had to show my husband a video on how to brush your teeth. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend thinks brushing his teeth is unnecessary, because, "the world is going to end because of climate change anyway." FML
Today, I saw my boyfriend spitting the mouthwash back into the bottle, because, "this stuff is really expensive." FML
Today, I was about to make out with my boyfriend, so I quickly swallowed my gum. Moments later, I started choking on the gum, and ended up spitting it out into his face. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were making out when I asked him to go brush his teeth, since his breath stank. He went back to playing video games. FML
Today, my boyfriend complained that I "treat him like a child" by asking him if he’s brushed his teeth before we kiss. Gee maybe if he brushed regularly like a fucking adult, I wouldn’t HAVE to ask. FML
Today, I had to come up with a reward system for getting my boyfriend to brush his teeth daily. He's 24. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

4 out 5 dentists agree that your boyfriend will have Summer Teeth. Some are here... Some are gone.

He needs to invest in a toothbrush and toothpaste instead of getting gum for a while.

No shit, Sherlock. Although I'd say forever rather than a while...

I don't understand why people wouldn't want to brush their teeth! Especially when you're in a ,relationship .
SuperDanielNL 23
Relationship or not, always brush. It make no difference whether you are in a relationship, be clean.

It'd be a hell of a lot cheaper to buy a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush than going through a pack of gum every couple of days or so.

Especially considering our modern diet which is horrible for tooth decay.

Sorry guys I realized I stated the obvious, but I'm sure someone else would have said the same thing or close to it at one point or another. Sorry for stating the obvious about it.

I agree with #1 and if he doesn't, stop kissing him and maybe dunp him for someone more mature.
Sandsh8rk 36
Yes, because dunping your boyfriend is always the best option.

Hygiene FMLs keep popping, I really makes me wonder if some people are really raised by and have no consideration for their own bodies and the people around them. I mean, come on twice a day, you learn it in kindergarden.

Kindergarten. Sorry, had to go in spelling nazi mode.
ambitiousnygrl 17
You also learn not to smoke and do drugs in Kindergarten and look at how many people still do these things.

That could be a problem especially since you're also paying for it when you kiss him... So gross. Try to have him see from your point of view! Ask him how he would like it if you stopped brushing your teeth and kissed him

He probably won't listen to reason if he has his mind set on it. -_-

Didn't you notice the smell or the rot ?

Gum won't prevent bad breath. It actually makes it worse after a while.

And chewing gum can help cause cavities, so it doesn't prevent the rot either.

Pretty soon it will be apparently. The military are working on making a chewing gum to be used instead of a toothbrush.

It also is not good for your stomach as it fools it into producing too much acid. :(

Give him a big kiss in the morning after a long night out he will get the idea bad breath is down right disgusting
cricket55 14
Or her bad breathe will mix with his bad breathe and he won't even notice. I kind of want to vomit after this.
