refusing to eat with my husband until he sorts his table manners out

[breathing]

Its got so bad its horrible to witness. Even my teenage dss comments and hates eating with his Dad. He burps, farts wolfs his meal down in double quick time, takes one bite and then looks fertively at the pan to see if there will be seconds, leaves mess on his chin while scooping food into his gob and makes a num num num growling kind of n noise while chewing/breathing out. Its disgusting and getting worse.

My dad spat out some gristly steak the other day when we were out for lunch the other day and left it on his plate for all to see. Everytime I looked at it I kept urging, it was so gross. Generally though he does have good table manners, this was a bit of a lapse.

Why don't you film these people? Pull out your phone and let it rip.

Put it on YouTube so the whole world can tell them how fucking vile they are.

Ugh I know. My DP is not nearly as bad, but considering his mother considers herself much posher than anyone else (although she's not), her children all eat a bit like pigs at a trough. Hold cutlery like shovels, talk with their mouths full so you can see all the contents, get food all over their faces and don't notice, slam their cutlery against the plate every time they take a mouthful (surprisingly annoying after a time), etc..

I wouldn't have even gone on a second date with a person who has bad table manners . . .

I dont have an i phone, Id have to film him with a video camera, bit obvious.
And as Ive mentioned, he wasnt like this. Its developed over 15 years

Why would someone develop bad table manners as time goes on, really weird! Do you have any idea why it happened OP?

[breathing]

No idea. Its been more so in the past year as well.

[QuackQuackSqueak]

He's not ill? Dementia or anything?

[breathing]

No, not at all.

[breathing]

The noise thing is new. Maybe I will ask him if he is having trouble breathing.

My husband ignored my years and years of pleas for better table manners.
I was so frustrated I put peanuts in my mouth and started talking to him. He was horrified. We will see if this over to top tactic worked. Hahaha

I couldn't fancy someone with bad table manners, it would kill any sexlife. YANBU
