It's a common mistake. Man thinks I want sex, if I'm nice to wife I will get sex.
But it doesn't quite work that way. Women want security that is a basic biological need, they need a tough man to stand up to the world and defend them and their children (even if they haven't got any). And a man that is too easily bossed around doesn't fit that bill. This is why women continually attempt to boss men, they are testing to see if the man is tough enough to out tough them. The man needs to put the woman back in her box, but to do it with humour and love. A sense of knowing he's the one who's really in charge and that he finds her cheekiness quite amusing.
The whole floss/don't floss thing was an example of her testing you (btw women don't do this consciously they are hard-wired that way and most are unaware). She wanted you to do it, but she didn't want you to just obey her. Clean breath = sexy, submissive man = not sexy. It's a conundrum That's why you need to take Eddie's advice (who by the way isn't in the slightest bit crazy). Listen to what she wants but in a way that flips it round so YOU are the one in charge. Here are a few possible answers to her desire not to smell your funky breath.
a) OK, well I'll kiss you somewhere where you can't smell my breath b) I'll go floss, you put that sexy black basque on and when I come back you better be ready for me c) Go into the bathroom, floss, MB, come back in with a huge boner and say "Come here woman, I'm taking you to heaven tonight!"
The main thing to remember is to act like YOU have got what she wants not the other way around.
take care
