Love on the Rocks: A Dental Dilemma
Our protagonist is struggling with her husband’s dental hygiene, which has become a major roadblock to intimacy in their marriage. After her mom’s death, her husband relapsed into alcoholism, and his teeth suffered the consequences. Now, she can’t even bring herself to kiss him. They’ve tried therapy, but the issue remains unresolved. Despite suggestions to use their savings for dental care, he refuses, fearing they might need the money for emergencies. As they live ‘together but alone,’ our protagonist is desperate for a solution that will save their marriage and bring back the love they once shared. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
