AIBU to feel so grossed out about this?

[Justanothermumofnine]

My DH has just had false teeth fitted and to be honest he looks great and it's boosted his confidence no end, however he fiddles with them, which I have no doubt is because it's something new in his mouth that he is to get used to but it grosses me out, the whole noise thing, even him taking them in and out is enough to make me gag (I'm sure I pull a face when he does it, I'm not a great poker player). I just don't know why it's affecting me like this, I do have issues in general about hearing people eat and will have background noise on during dinner so it's disguised, has anyone else experienced this, I really want to be happy for him that he has his smile back but all I can think is yuck 🤢

Taking them out and putting them in is something he could do in private (I certainly would), but fiddling and playing with them? nope - I’d have thrown something at him by now, sorry

Do other noises bother you? Could you have misophonia?

I'd find that really annoying. Does he realise he's doing it?

I’m a (not practising) dentist and YANBU. That has always turned my stomach.
Tell him as he may not realise he’s doing it. Also, depending on the type of denture, it can affect the fit. So another reason!

Does he put them in and out in the bedroom? Could you ask him to keep them in the bathroom?

I guess the fiddling will gradually cease soon. As you say he's got to get used to them.

(YANBU)

Honestly, I don't think he understands the impact it has on me, I have tried to say nicely about it, but he has bitten my head off (no pun intended) I get that he is probably a bit sensitive about having them, but honestly I can't scoping mechanism for this one and short of punching him straight in the mouth next time he does it, I'm not sure he will ever stop doing it either, I'm trying to be understanding about it

Oh god yes. Yanbu. I suffer so bad with noises. I think I definitely have misophonia.

I cannot listen to jeremy vine when that doctor is on. She makes this noise when she speaks, like a kind of 'moist' noise, and it knocks me sick.

My mum has a palette and it's awful.

I feel like a horrible person, but once I hear these noises, it's like they get into my head and actually sound louder. Like a switch turns in and I am suddenly more aware of them.

I hate it.

It’s actually a proper thing - I think the previous poster named it misophonia. Maybe a hypnotherapist could help you feel less distressed. Sorry this is happening to you, i hope you find a solution.

MillhousesDad Thank you! I can't listen to her either and thought it was just me and my misophonia.

OP, I fully sympathise but can offer no advice. Things like this make me very stabby (and not easy to live with ).

Mayne he should go back to dentist to check the fit is ok. I had a plate for a year before getting a bridge fitted and it took a while to get used to it. If any food gets under the plate it's really uncomfortable, it can rub something chronic and I used to eat with my hand over my face in case my teeth went rogue. It's a big thing to get used to.
