To find my husband disgusting

He turned 47 recently but I feel hes 80. He snores so much and he always sleeps on his back and when I gently push him he tells me to fuck off. He eats his food so fast he has to lie on the floor. He tells me long long stories about something from Tesco and I hate listening to him! He slurps yoghurt. Sometimes he has snot hanging from his nose. And I can hear his sneezes from anywhere in the house. I find myself trying to physically avoid him. When I see old couples around I think about it being us and I hate the idea of it being me and him.

I feel horrible. Hes not particularly nice but honestly the feelinh now is so physical. I feel really harsh. I wish it wasnt like this. We went to counselling and I obviously didnt say any of this but we talked about physical closeness and I was just screaming NOOOO in my head

I feel pretty horrible about it.

So leave. You don’t have to put up with it

Why are you staying with him, if you are repulsed by him.
He sounds awful.
Are you renting or home owners? Do you have options available to leave.

Sorry OP , clearly you liked him at one point - you don’t know and hardly suprising - kinder to end it

The most concerning parts for me are the fact that you don't like listening to him talking about his day and when you say he's not particularly nice.

I was going to come on this thread and say "it's just snoring" but the more I read, I think you two both know that the marriage is over. For both of your sakes, I think you should separate.

But I have one question, how did you marry him, knowing he slurps his yoghurt, snores etc?

Neither of you deserve to live like that. There’s times now I think my dh is disappointed he’s married to me. It’s a horrible feeling and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. You also deserve to be happy.

This really is the sort of thing that needed to be brought up in therapy. Why didn't you say anything then?

REDB99 · 12/09/2025 22:30

It sounds like you need to divorce him, from what you’ve described there’s little coming back from how you feel unless he changes.

Florally · 12/09/2025 22:30

um… you should probably not be together?

It sounds like you’re repulsed by him. What kind of life is that?

Yanbu

Marriage sounds like hell, honestly

What do you want? It sounds as though there are other issues and this is just the tip of the iceberg?

Can you tell him bluntly to fix his appearance? xx

Plastictreees · 12/09/2025 22:29

Why are you still with him?
