Last year, I was in the hospital for a little over a week - I told husband to go home after the ER told me they were keeping me and told him not to come back until I was being discharged. We talked on the phone all the time, but I didn't need to be bothered with worrying about him freaking out at thd hospital while I was trying to get well.

Some people want to be alone when they're sick - let them be.

This exactly!!!!!

OP just respect her wishes mate, you would do more harm than good to worry about it

I just didn't understand why she would be so worried about her appearance if I am her boyfriend. I understand that people in relationships want to look their best. But since we are dating exclusively, shouldn't she be ok with us seeing each other regardless of our appearances?
You've only been seeing her for a few weeks. You're not her boyfriend. She doesn't feel comfortable enough with you yet to allow you to see her when she feels really unattractive. Because....she's only known you a few weeks. See how that works?

Two weeks is really not that long especially if you can stay in contact with her through texting.

I'm all about the privacy even with your insta-girlfriend..... BUT....

is this her front teeth? If so, I would understand, BUT...

I just had a crown replaced on a molar.... I think they did a mold and I came back and it was wham-bam-thank-you-mam and I was done. There was nothing for anyone to see, or not see as the case may be.

Sorry to hear. Godspeed your recovery.

I would really want to reassure/comfort my girlfriend. And take advantage of her two missing teeth

I'm so bad

Exactly. When I don't feel well, I just want to be left alone to "die" in peace. However, I do appreciate people texting to check on me to make sure I'm still alive and to ask if I need anything.

I did have a friend come to the hospital recently when I was in the ER because I didn't know what was going on and after awhile, I got scared and didn't want to be alone. It turned out to be yet another kidney stone, which was a surprise because it was so completely unlike the others.

How many dates have you been on? What do you mean "visiting" her? Do you live in different cities?

Maybe what she really meant isn't that "she is going to the dentist" but rather "dating a dentist"?
