As the title goes, how do Muslims reconcile with the fact that their prophet married and had sex (I think the word starting with 'r' is more appropriate in this context but that will get me banned) with a girl that was 8 or 9 year of age?

By today's account, he would rightfully be deemed a child predator or a pedophile. As a moral relativist, the argument works in my favor. However, most Muslims must abide by objective truth if they truly wish to call themselves Muslim, since that is what their book professes.

So how do Muslims deal with this issue? I've asked this question many times but I've never had a clear answer despite gish gallopping and whataboutism.

Is Islam morality objective or not?

Hey, so I am asking for help regarding a very sensitive and embarrassing topic, namely that of my boyfriend's bad breath. I'm 24 and he's 26 and we have been together for almost 2 years now.

It's a difficult topic because intimacy obviously makes part of any relationship, as does kissing and other things involving our mouth. I think I am good at hiding the fact that I don't notice it (I try my best not to make him feel bad or self-conscious), but I can obviously see how self-conscious he is about it since he always drinks water and always carries chewing gum with him, more than other people I typically hang around with do.

Thing is, he does take care of his oral hygiene. He always brushes his teeth for longer than me and usually with better technique (as opposed to myself who just brushes agressively and have never had issues with bad breath), he flosses daily, scrapes his tongue, hydrates himself with water, eats healthy and works out, doesn't smoke and never drinks. It seems by all accounts that he should have odorless breath. So why is it the opposite? He visits the dentist regularily and I can't really notice any visible plaque or tartar on his teeth. The only things I notice at times are his gums which look a little inflammed (nothing too bad), and two of his front teeth where the gums are slightly receeded. Besides that I think his mouth looks fine... well, and his tongue is also slightly whitish at times.

So here I am, trying to ask you guys for help since under normal circumstances and accounting for all the steps he routinely takes, he should not have bad breath, yet he does. It's a little difficult at times for me not to get disracted by it when I'm trying to be intimate with him. Again, I'm not trying to shame him since I don't think it's his fault. I personally don't pay much attention to my oral hygiene besides the basic stuff and never have had bad breath myself.

How can I help him? Is it genetic? Where should he look for help?

Thank you to whoever may read this and give me some guidance.
