Oh hell no. I’d throw him out and tell him not to come back until he had better hygiene habits. He probably won’t come back and that would be okay with me!

Not brushing teeth can lead to major health issues. Instead of hinting have an actual conversation about it.

Stop hinting and tell him to quit being a nasty bastard
My husband grew up terribly NO hygiene was taught his sister would sit in her own period blood for days ( his mom had a brain tumor and was wheelchair bound and not all the way there the dad was devoted to her and Jesus but thats about it ) i straight up told him brush your damn teeth or were done I WILL not be married to a thirty yo with dentures ( because he caused it its not like he couldnt help it that would be different) and its fucking gross…if he didn’t grow up doing something every morning and night like you should you cant expect it to change over night now of course it takes effort on there part but i helped i reminded him every morning every night when he would go to kiss me I asked did you brush your teeth? I know its like a child lol but again he was never taught this was something he was supposed to do
If mine forgets to brush every night I’m like are you going to brush your teeth? Lol 
idk what’s so hard about just asking or telling him to brush. Make it known that you notice… I would refuse to be intimate tbh. You live with him… he’s your partner? Speak up.

I think this requires waaayy more than hints. Something is wrong. People who have access to having normal hygiene 
typically take advantage of it bc it’s uncomfortable not to. He’s got something going on.

Hygiene is like #1 thing for me 
idk how you do it. Put toothbrushes with his name on them around every sink with tooth paste & even in the shower with some new loofahs for hints
5 years you’ve stuck around waiting for basic hygiene?.. Uhhhh

Maybe he is depressed? There has to be an underlying issue why especially if it has only been last 5 years. Was he doing it before that? If so I would be concerned. It is worth a conversation as hints just wont do it.

This is your husband, not a stranger. Just talk to him about it. Let him know it’s a deal breaker if he can’t keep up with his self-hygiene. If he’s not willing to wash his ass and teeth for his wife, then leave him.

Is he depressed? Have anxiety and or ADHD?? Alot of these issues can be from mental health and maybe he just needs to get himself into therapy and practice self care.

This sounds like beyond just basic hygiene. Is he struggling with mental health issues? Confidence issues? Maybe have a serious talk with him in regards to this and try to figure out what’s going on. This could also be triggered from something in his childhood as well.

Seriously through sickness and in health. There is something going on with your husband and you wanna put it in Facebook and leave. Go be a wife and help him. And if then and only if he doesnt help himself then you can move on.

It may sound not normal especially for an adult but my anxiety got so bad at one point that I convinced myself every time I brush my teeth the tooth brush will fall down my throat also I stopped eating solid food horrified of choking. It just happened out of no where so iv been in therapy for awhile can finally brush teeth and have started eating some foods again

Eww, leave his dirty ass
There are more serious issues here,& u know that. What many see as laziness are major signs of depression. If you have to,trick him into going to see a doctor. He needs an evaluation. You stayed this long, so if you want to make it work, be the partner you signed up for when you married him. Get him help, or don’t. Either way,you have to figure out what’s next, then do it.

See this is that bs right here. Did he have good hygiene when you were dating? Why are you hinting around just say what it is! I CANNOT with some of these questions. Run a bath and push him in the tub…. Put mouthwash in his juice… or just don’t even do anything. Does he have mental issues??? What the problem is???

5 years you’ve wasted with these feelings? Please do leave him so he can do better. Bad hygiene is a classic mental health symptom, and instead of being honest and helping him out, you choose to say nothing while silently judging him and planning to leave him.
He may stink, but you’re the gross one.

Talk to him instead of hinting. Yall are grown adults. … imagine leaving someone because he didn’t brush his teeth… like tell him straight up of how it makes you feel and I’m sure he will just simply brush his teeth. I don’t think there’s love there beyond the teeth brushing.

The question is was he like this before you got married if not then he probably has some depression issues going on and probably needs to speak to a doctor about being put on some medication

Straight up tell him. Be honest.
You cant be dropping hints. If you guys are husband and wife you need to be up front and honest and have clear consistent communication. Thats the only thing that’s going to save your marriage. My husband is not too great about brushing teeth either but he does do it just not very often, I also hasn’t been to a dentist since we’ve been together as well as probably at least 2 to 3 years before we were together so totally he’s probably not been at a dentist for 10 to 12 years. I’m always communicating with him clearly but trying not to be harsh and hurt his feelings. We’ve discussed for the past 4-5 years that he needs to go to the dentist keep saying I know I know I know. I think he’s scared but hopefully we will get a dentist appointment scheduled before something serious happens.
Holy crap. Bad breath is my biggest pet peeve and as bad as I hate to admit it, I will judge a person for their breath. It’s unacceptable.
Yeah so I’d tell him straight up lmao I have Z E R O shame

My husband forgets sometimes what day it was and when the last time he showered/brushed his teeth. I tell him he doesn’t get anything unless he does both those and does them…for me. He gets busy with work stuff at home and the kids. Just tell your husband but in a nice-ish way to start and then when you’re both use to it straight up tell him brush and shower or no
Happened to me as well! I don’t hint, I use to tell him at out and he still wouldn’t.
Gets even worse!
Would shower for an hour with no SOAP or shampoo!!!

This honestly seems like a troll post. Five years?? Way too long to let something like this go on. Sounds like severe depression but who waits five years to acknowledge or do anything about it. Doesn’t make sense. Honestly feels like op could be making fun of the general posts from women on here. Hope that’s not the case just seems very odd and random and minimal info

Sometimes my husband doesn’t brush his teeth I either tell him bluntly your breathe stinks or I get his toothbrush ready for him. I don’t think he does it purposely. He has upper dentures and I guess thinks if he soaks them then he shouldnt have to brush his bottoms. Nope not happening in my house go brush your nasty ass teeth. He had really bad teeth when we got together and said it hurt to brush. Maybe make him a dentist appointment.
This is your husband, while you shouldn’t have to tell him to bring his teeth, why hint instead of just telling him straight up?

Mens mental health is often overlooked- I don’t want to be the Karen but I will.
First of all, what if he’s struggling with something you know nothing about?
How would you feel if you were too afraid to talk about something and it weighs you down, but then your spouse whom is supposed to love you- throws the symptoms of something much larger in your face? Would you feel comfortable opening up then?
There’s always more than one perspective.
Is it that he’s lazy and doesn’t take of himself- maybe.
But there could be underlying issues. Maybe sit with him, make him smile and broach the subject with kindness. Ask him if something is bothering him, try to communicate. Maybe that is the real issue and the hygiene is a symptom.

I would not get near him in a shower if he only shower once a week and just give him a glass of bleach for his teeth. Yuck I’d leave to
5 yrs and you have yet to say anything??? That seems a bite excessive.

So many woman just wanting to leave their husbands, is it gross… yes. If all you’ve done is hint around then you’re not truly committed to your marriage. After a week I would’ve sat my husband down and asked if everything was okay, how he was feeling and why he wasn’t doing those things. If it was because of depression I would’ve had him an appointment made ASAP to get him on the right track.
