Should I dump my boyfriend because he won't stop eating crisps?

He eats at least 3 packets of crisps per day and not the sophisticated type i.e kettle chips, think more Skips/monster munch/Nik naks/cheesy wotsits/space raiders.

Dump him immediately, unless he switches to Tyrrells.

I love shitty snacks but the dirty hands, playing with the empty packets and not trying food would put me off.

I actually autistic but trying food is part of why you go away surely? I mix it in with safe foods.

This is the opposite to the saying ' I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crisps. 😁

Eating the crisps I wouldn't care about at all. But then I love crisps. It's his decision how much he eats in a day.

However the lack of consideration of spraying you with crisp crumbs and leaving the packets behind him instead of using a bin would be dumpable for me.

I don't think you're compatible. He's a slob and you're a snob

You should break up with him because you don't like him. The whys and wherefores don't really matter. You don't like him ergo it would be a terrible idea to continue a relationship with him.

I came here to say yes, you are being unreasonable. I love crisps!!! But after reading your whole post, I’m not surprised you got the ick. Sounds like he has childish eating habits/hygiene practices which would give me the nick too. The exploding the bag thing shooting crisps over you did make me laugh though, but not in a good kind of funny way

Yum,.I love crisps and I'm not ashamed to admit I eat them in bed and stick the empty packets in my bottom beside drawer. As far as the food on holiday, there is hope. When I 1st started seeing my DH he used to eat the same tea every day. Pie, chips and beans. No deviation even when we went on holiday. He grew out of it when we moved in together. I still take the piss every now and again.

The crummy fingers and bed crisp packets would definitely give me the ick and the popping crisp packets would just make me think “what a child”. YANBU!

@Spicyseniorita7 my friends DH is like this but worse, he eats a 6 pack of walkers prawn cocktail crisps every single day! On Sunday’s he goes the extra mile and has an extra large bag of original hula hoops which can only be eaten by sucking them off his pinky finger and no other way! He does wash his hands though! He’s 52 and has always been like this, eats healthily the rest of the time, not overweight and bizarrely has low cholesterol and BP! My friend thinks it’s funny as she has a thing about chunky Kit Kats and eats them in a particular way! On Christmas Day she always wraps up a ‘special’ bag of crisps for her DH and he has to guess what they are, it’s actually his favourite present every year! No special needs or anything, good jobs, adult children but they’re both like big kids who’ve never grown up!

Thst would set my misophonia off like a grenade.
I am partial to a packet of crack cheetos myself but you will never find a crumb of it anywhere or on me.
I think your only option is to LTB.

Is he 12?

To be honest I like a cheap rubbishy bag of crisps myself, I tip the crumbs into my mouth, however I would wash my hands if crisp dust was on them, and I certainly would not ever pop the bag, as I asked, is he 12???

Don't break up, just ask him to stop.

Wouldn’t care about the crisps, but not binning packets would set off alarm bells for me about ‘is he a grown adult who can fend for himself or is he used to a woman doing everything for him and you’re going to become a replacement Mum figure @Spicyseniorita7

I misvoted. While the packets shoved down the side of the bed seems not ideal, I wouldn't get the 'ick' from someone eating 'unsophisticated' crisps. I also dislike kettle crisps and always tip the packet up! I do, however, make sure the packet goes in the bin and hands are washed...

To me, one of the points of going abroad is sampling a different culture. 'Traditional roasts' and 'fish and chips' in Spain seem mad to me. Go to Skeggy for that.

You despise him so why stay with him? Does he only eat boiled vegetables, by any chance?

Agree. Its awful anyone things that is a positive trait

He's eating the snacks of my dreams!

That said, I can happily scoff bags of pickled onion or roast beef Monster Munch because I'm not going to be breathing on anybody any time soon. Or kissing them.

I would find that a bit off putting.

The tip head back thing made me chuckle, my brother did this growing up and we realised the dog saw this as a sign for - all gone. So we'd open crisps and do the action. Fooled every time.

It would also put me off being abroad and not considering the local food.

I'm not going to lie, the crisp snobbery made me laugh, like Kettle chips are any less crap for you than a pack of skips or monster munch.

But if something this minor is giving you the ick, then you're obviously not that into him.

DP has a good few gross habits, pretty much every human being does. They don't bother me much because I love her.

Are they considered Spanish food?

three packs of Torres a day in this economy? He'd need to have Bezosian levels of wealth.

I would leave him for the bit about not allowing you to pay for anything; that could easily spiral into economic abuse/coercive control if it isn't already.

I couldn't be with someone who didn't eat Torres

on this one id say depends on how he is personality wise overall how he treats you etc ?
