Is it normal to be suspicious if your man buys a ton of breath mints?

Ladies, Say you have a long-term partner that has never displayed an interest or care in his breath or oral hygiene beyond basic brushing. Then all of a sudden one day he wants to buy an industrial size box of Altoids from Costco.

Worry? Or not?

Yes, that's suspicious!! 23
No, that's nothing!! 45
I'm a guy, you need to worry!! 5
I'm a guy, it's nothing!! (probably) 37
Other, I'll comment!! 3
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Those days if a man comes home with a blonde hair on his shirt, it means he is cheating on you with a blonde woman, if he comes home with no hairs on his shirt, means he is cheating on you with a bald woman.

        Ok, let me explain slowly, its not that no matter what, they are always cheating, its no matter what, they always get accused of cheating. I've been with the same girl almost 5 years now, in those 5 years I never did as much as hold another woman's hand, yet I get the question "who is she?" about twice a week.

    Haha! I think your just paranoid. Maybe go on the Jeremy Kyle show and do a lie detector, that way we can all laugh at your paranoia at least!

  • While I dont want to be as "forthcoming" as MrMan10 was, I have to kinda agree with him.

    I mean a reaction like this over breath mints?? If he says he is gonna call you at 8 pm and he doesnt get to it until 8:20 do figuratively rip his head off when he does call?

    • It's hardly a reaction, I didn't say anything to him, it's just so out of the ordinary by a lot that it struck me as odd, simply wanted opinions on it. It wasn't like I accused him of anything or whatnot, like I said it's just so fucking odd for him so I wondered if it was anything funny or not. I guess I saw it similar to if a guy all of a sudden is trimming his pubes and wearing silk boxers and cologne out of the blue. Hence, I asked for opinions.

      And no, I don't bitch at him for dumb shit either.

    ...I wouldn't think anything.
    If my husband shared the same mind set as you, I'd be boned.

    Every now and then I will see a treat that I enjoyed in my childhood and think "Man, I miss these!" and buy it. Even if it is something mundane that I could have always bought.

    Mint skittles were my favorite candy as a child. If I ever saw mint skittles again I guarantee you I'd buy the whole shelf and ask a sales associate if there is any left in the back. I miss them so badly.

      I loved oatmeal granola bars. I can't seem to find those anywhere, now. I miss them. =[

    Oh fuck off.

    What's the point of making a poll if you're just going to fuckabout with the answers?

    "I'm a guy, it's nothing (Probably)" Are you serious? Was that something you really had to put in?

    Redo the poll. Do it good.

    maybe his other girlfriend told him to try those mints because she says they are nice.

    My BF bought some Altoids b/c he got a promotion and they make him feel more professional. Successful people eat Altoids!

    Also, when my boyfriend took up smoking, he never told me. When he eventually did reveal the secret, I was curious as to how he hid it so well. He said he used cologne to cover up smell, and mints or gum to cover up taste. Smoking habit is a possibility.

      In that case, I'd be more worried for his health than whether or not he is cheating on me...

        Yeah, I know. I'm not the one who made this post, by the way. That was just my opinion on the matter.

    Probably saved a tonne of money by buying loads. That's usually how it works...

    Maybe he's conducting an experiment to see if you notice his unusual buying habits, which you have and he's probably jumping for joy about.

    Chances are he tried the mints once and liked them so much that he went and bought an industrial size box so he'd have plenty to enjoy.

    perhaps he's seen the error of his ways and wants to impress you with good breath.

    i think you're reading too much into it.

    I buy lots of mints too, I don't want bad breath and I don't like a dry mouth (when I can't drink).

  • Marisol

    He might just like them. Don't you ever buy something just because it would be nice to try or because you missed the taste? Maybe he is just enjoying the strong freshness.
