expander crisis :-/

#1 Post by starfish3967 »

Well my boyfriend has been on vacation for 2 weeks and i cant wait to see him. Theres only one problem...i get an expander put in 3 days before he gets back! I am very nervous that he will laugh at me for my speech. The big thing i am worried about is the kissing/uh making out? Since i haven't seen him for a while, that is the most likely thing we would usually do. I am very afraid his arrival won't be all that special because of my expander :( . Should i be worried?

My byofriend will come to USA in one week. My speech is awful, but it doesn't seem to bother him, as we have already talked on phone.

I would not worry!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry about kissing with the expander.
My husband can't tell it's there when we kiss.

Yep, no issues with kissing, and just be a bit careful/creative with other stuff and everyone will be fine :)
