He has not seen a dentist since I met him almost four years ago. The argument was me saying "You should make a dental appointment" and him saying "I was already planning to do that as soon as we get home, I didn't need you to remind me." Now, what month is it? Almost April... And has he made an appointment or seen a dentist? That would be a big no. My boyfriend and I got into a tiff driving home from our Christmas travels about the dentist.

I don't do it anymore. So. If I end up pregnant at the age of 39 because he has been dragging his feet about scheduling the big V....I emphatically reserve the right to say, "I told you so."

People just hate the dentist. Actually, after fifteen years, I'm glad it's not worse. I have soooo many patients just like this….probably about half of them. People just hate the dentist.

I loath to take the mommy stance, but did when it came to physicals and even then it took over 10 (TEN!) years to get him to schedule a physical. Still waiting for him to make the appointment with the dentist. A root canal didn't do the job 10 years ago, either. You have my sympathy. I think I married your husbands long lost brother.
