Hello everyone - I really need some advice. I am 29 years old and am currently engaged and living with my fiance of 26. We've been together for four years now, and I truly love him, however I am having some issues with his hygiene/health. When we first met he took good care of himself and exercised regularly. For the past 2 years, he has stopped excersing and has gained about 30 pounds. Recently he found out he has very high triglycerides (735) and cholesterol - he is only 26 years old. I'm very active and I like to take care of my apearance - I dont expect him to be like me, but there's yet another issue:

My biggest issue is his lack of oral hygiene. We've been living together for a few months now, and I've noticed that he doesnt brush his teeth at night and now he's been skipping mornings. I've had to remind him twice this week to brush his teeth, but today I reminded him again, and he yelled at me. He called me stupid and told me to shut up. I told him I thought it was disgusting to go to work without brushing and he said "I think you're disgusing!" - then he stormed out the door to work. I was appalled that he reacted this way. He has a very bad temper and I've learned to deal with this, but now I'm getting concerned. I just dont know what to do. I've mentioned that oral hygiene and personal health is a big deal for me, but he gets upset every time. We are planning a wedding, and I'm not sure whether or not to reconsider. Please help!
