    Font - So I (26f) have been with my current bf (35m) for 4 months. Here is the issue, I have some little quirks as most of us do. This post is about my "obsession" (his word not my mine) about brushing my teeth/oral hygiene. Let me preface it with that I don't like brush my teeth raw or brush more than is recommended. Just your typical morning, after lunch (yes I have a tooth brush in my office but I have a private restroom) and before bed. The only exception being when I am having a "sleepover"
