After marrying my husband a few years ago, I’ve noticed that he just does not brush his teeth. Other than that being a general turn off, it’s impacting our sex life directly. I’ve tried broaching the topic by directly asking him why he doesn’t brush his teeth every day. He denies it and says he does brush. Long story short, I know for a fact he only does it once in a while.
This is directly impacting our sex life because now, I don’t ask him to kiss me or go down on me anymore because I can’t fully enjoy it. I feel like the lack of foreplay is ruining my sex life, but not his…
He’s a sensitive guy and amazing in every other way. How can I bring this up and get him to take action without him just denying it again?
Additional context: My husband is on the spectrum. After reading comments, I don’t think it’s a depression issue, I think it’s a sensory issue.
I only realized he wasn’t brushing after our schedules changed due to job changes.
Thanks everybody, I’m definitely going to take the direct approach!
