Page 6 | DH is eating cereal and I want to kill him

Obviously this is lighthearted but jeez the crunching and slurping is unreal.

FOJN · 20/07/2024 11:50

Don't do it. Think about how many people you'll have to listen to eating cereal in prison. 😁

A past acquaintance used to stuff his mouth with food like a hamster, chew noisily, then swallow three times. There was so much in his mouth he couldn’t even swallow the whole lot. Three times it took. Always three. Then he’d start piling the food in again.

We're an ND household and we all eat dinner with our loop ear plugs - highly recommended!

I was watching a podcast a couple of years ago which mentioned 'bloke sounds'. And now I can't unhear how frequently men feel free to groan or sniff or clear their throats. I swear to god women don't do it half as much.

Show quote history

I can never spend more than a few minutes in the sauna (any gym, anywhere) because there will ALWAYS be a bloke groaning, sighing, slapping his thighs, etc. Women don't do it, strangely.

This is something that's become literally unbearable since perimenopause. Crashing waves of disgust and fury at the sound of slurping, munching, clicking jaws, snapping teeth. And weirdly it seems to be only a male thing. DH, DS, and DD's boyfriend.

That’s because many men feel the need to do everyday things loudly and performatively. It’s all about the attention. Look at me! Look at ME!

whatdoidonowffs · 20/07/2024 11:32

Just to put a further thought in your mind, I’ve just crunched and slurped a bowl of cereal then drunk the leftover milk out of the bowl 😂😂
pretty sure there’s a place in hell reserved for me !!!!

I can't stand when they hit the sides of the bowl with the spoon eleventy million times. Clang, clang, clangety clang. Rage inducing🤬

Yes!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Why do they do that???

TheDogsMother · 20/07/2024 11:29

I absolutely hate this. It's fine if we are both eating but if it's just him slurping the milk, clanging the bowl, eating an apple right next to me and I have to give him the look.

Misophonia?

It’s a common gripe @WaitingForMojo . I don’t think it needs a diagnosis.

I'm sure everyone has sounds they don't like but let's not jump on the Misophonia bandwagon.

Do it. There's not a jury in the land that would convict you

Loop earplugs, OP. They have saved DH's life and my sanity.

It's the only way I can be in the room when he's eating/slurping and belching (hiatus hernia that he doesn't take the right dose of meds for).

Agreed, the only reason my husband (and several of my colleagues) are still alive is because I keep a collection of loop earplugs

It’s the scraping I can’t stand, there’s no fucking yoghurt/milk left, stop scrapping the sides away like you’re going to find some, ugh.

Changingplace · 20/07/2024 11:07

I almost murdered four men on a train yesterday for similar, you have my sympathies

Blokes sat behind me munching crisps so loudly I couldn’t think and it made me wince, and then the bloke opposite me started slurping a coffee and snacking his lips - I’d forgotten my earphones so couldn’t block it out, I won’t make that mistake again.

Absolutely!

And when they bang their teeth with the spoon & you get that dull thud followed by the crunching 🙄

LlynTegid · 20/07/2024 11:06

Crunching may be able to be reduced by a different cereal. Slurping even more unacceptable than liking Coldplay.

UnctuousUnicorns · 20/07/2024 11:06

If DH is eating, I can only be in the same room as him if I'm also eating. Otherwise I'm out of there, or if he walks in to a room I'm in, chomping, slurping and crunching something, I send him on his way. I can't stand the smell either, particularly if someone is eating peanuts - it just knocks me sick. No allergies, and I like peanuts myself, just not someone eating them near me. I'm getting so intolerant in my old age.

Couldn't agree more!

whatsappdoc · 20/07/2024 11:04

Mine has a clicking jaw as well. I either leave the room or sit with my fingers in my ears.
