It’s hopeless…HELLOOOO onions and garlic for breakfast! And think of all the money you’ll save by not using any more perfume or hot water in the shower…

Say, “Good breakfast? I can smell it. Don’t you hate how hard it is to get that taste out of your mouth?” then tell him about pills he can take to neutralize it.

If that doesn’t work, eat some onion and garlic one morning and stand real close to him so he can smell your breath.

the golden rule will probably work fine here.
if it was you, wouldnt you want to be told as quickly as possible? how would YOU want to be approached if YOU had the problem? quick direct and straight to the point.
“dude, im not trying to be mean but…”

I never heard of this “greets me with 2 kisses”
Nothing can be more frustrating than what is referred to as an incongruent communication, where an individual says one thing yet indicates something dramatically different with his or her nonverbal conduct. Strive to express your feelings in a mature and responsible way. By being honest about your emotions, you base your relationship upon integrity rather than lies and deception.

I would kinda make a joke out of it to him like wow you must have gotten a nice breakfest…. what was it you know count drackala would be scared of you ,,, you should brush your breath..
or hand him a tooth brush?

tell him a story about someone of the same situation as his when you have time to tell him so in that way you are doing a segway. or you can tell him in a nice way directly

first of all, there is no wy of telling him without hurting his feeling – maybe give him some gum as a clue.
the seconf thing – i hate to be the one that tells you this but you work in a very sexual tensed place.

tell him in a type of joke, do some expressions, that he also realise that what you are thinking about him when he kiss you.

If he is that sensitive, you CANNOT help but hurt his feelings if you use the direct approach. You didn’t say whether this problem was caused by food he ate, or by some medical problem.

You can send him an email from an anoymous email account, telling him that.

OR. You can just do like that:
He: Kissing you.
You: Oh, by the way, I’ve been reading yesteday about how onion and garlic are nutrious, but have some “side effects”.
He: Such what?
You: Their smell is very strong, that they stay the whole day, if you have them at the breakfast, and some people do not like their smell.
