That night, I brought it up with my husband.
"What if it's not your teeth at all? What if it's coming from your digestive system – maybe from when you changed your diet after football?"
I told him about Alicia and Velena. I was worried he'd get defensive, but instead he looked... hopeful?
"At this point, I'll try anything," he admitted. "I hate what this has done to us."
So we ordered the capsules. One simple pill with breakfast every morning. That's it.
The difference was UNREAL.
Within days, his morning breath was just... normal? It was good. You know, not great (whose is?), but not make-me-gag bad.
By the end of the first week, I caught myself NOT turning away when he leaned in for a kiss.
And by week three? OMG. Remember being newlyweds? That's us again.
Morning sex before work.
Spontaneous makeout sessions.
Those deep kisses we'd been missing for years.
For the first time in forever, I wasn't distracted by his breath.
I could actually focus on HIM – his touch, his closeness – not on holding my breath or finding an excuse to turn away.
