My husband smells bad to me 65% to 70% of the time and it’s seeming to become more frequent. We’ve been together a long time and this only started a few years ago. It’s not due to hygiene.

I repeatedly ask him to try and figure it out but he has no idea what it is and is starting to get very offended/hurt that I keep asking him to go to doctors etc, but I don’t know what else to do. Our whole house smells like it when it’s bad and I know it sounds dramatic, but it’s seriously impacting my life. He can’t smell it at all so I have to tell him when it’s happening.

The smell seems to be coming from his nose/mouth. He’s been to an ENT and a dentist and both have told him there is nothing wrong that could be causing it. He does saline rinses, tongue scraping, flosses, brushes his teeth, uses mouthwashes, etc. There is nothing lacking in his hygiene that I know of. It smells like rotting meat or like he just ate a hot dog.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or does anyone have any advice for me :(

ETA no tonsils he had them out a decade ago

Is that normal? Also when will this god awful IPR gapping between my molars go away?

I was told I had $1500 in coverage for ortho, which I do, but I assumed if I paid in full, the insurance would also pay the ortho in full the $1500 at the start of treatment.

Come to find out, they are paying the ortho in monthly increments. Now if I leave my job for a new offer I have, they told me I will be responsible for the remainder of the months. This is super weird to me. If I pad for a procedure at a doctors office, insurance would cover their entire portion right away, not do it in installments.

Has anyone else run into this?

Insult to injury, the new job has the same insurance but apparently it won’t cover my treatment as usual because it’s an “in progress treatment”

Should this have been flagged to me?
