Is anyone else's DH ridiculously noisy

[shpoot]

Kids in bed but 4yo not quite settling. DH decides he's cooking stir fry. Chops veg on glass chopping board with all the might he can muster. Slamming cupboard doors every time he needs something. Opening door and shouting through at 3 million decibels, do you want noodles in it? (Not bothered just be bloody quiet).

It's hardly peaceful and he does it constantly . AIBU to wish he'd be bloody quiet and should just be grateful he's cooking my tea?!

However, I don't complain at him as I don't want to argue over it. But it does get me

Your DH is being utterly inconsiderate but you feel unable to raise it because he will make an argument of it?

Mischief

I agree with you - its about being considerate. If someone persists in being unreasonably noisy its either a hearing issue or selfishness. The former is probably easier to deal with!

This reminds me of all the men who "don't see" things which need doing around the house. There is no earthly reason why they can't look out for these tasks in exactly the same way they expect their partners to do it.

Yes!! He genuinely cant be quiet. I don't think he understands what that involves.

He also likes to wake up really early too so on my lie in days I often get greeted to the sound of him clattering around at stupid o'clock

The invisibility bit used to disconcert me at first, I could walk in a room and not notice he was in it! DS is noisier, but considerate.

Yes. He is referred to as “the Brian Blessed of Academics”, one if his lecture reviews described him as having a “percussive boom”.
He does come up the stairs quietly, always seems to catch me having a little bit of “personal time”.

Omg, mine's NOT the loudest man on the planet. He's currently eating crisps, and it sounds like a donkey crunching the world's biggest carrot.

He sneezes loudly, he makes an appalling racket when he blows his noise, he chomps his food and smacks his lips and when he cooks .... the CLATTERING, BANGING and CRASHING would wake the dead. He also does very loud farts that probably wake the neighbours, but I'm childish, so that makes me laugh.

The thing that really annoys me though is the way he walks. He won't wear slippers or anything in the house, and when he walks, he bangs his heels down really noisily. If he walks across the living room when I'm lying on the sofa, it truly feels like the earth is moving. I can't believe that someone can bang their heels on the floor that hard without hurting themselves.

Oddly, he's quite softly spoken. Except when he's on the phone. I swear he could have a conversation with his sister, who lives 26 miles away, without using the phone at all.

Terrifying sneezes which horrify the dogs! Otherwise he's a silent ninja and is under orders to cough to alert me to his presence! His only downfall is coming in from work at say 3am, super quiet but doesn't get undressed before coming into the bedroom so I'm treated to unzipping etc. Odd.

The sneezing oh good grief! I have 2 bomb proof cats but they do back flips every time and visiting children have been known to cry! Dds seem oblivious. Same with farting, galumphing up or down stairs and don't get me started on filling the kettle or flushing the loo

Sorry HotSauceCommittee, his sneaking up and catching you in your ‘personal time’ really made me laugh. I hope he apologises and disappears to let you finish off

@C8H10N4O2

Yes, I do think an argument would come of it. He isn't abusive or controlling but he is VERY stubborn and I'm very emotional

I've told him he needs a hearing test! Sure he's bloody deaf

My XH was blessed with absolutely no grace whatsoever. When he walked across our slightly sprung living room floor, the glasses and bottles in the drinks cabinet rattled. They never did that with anyone else. When he was getting up, the light was on, doors were left open, the front door banged as he left, he boiled the kettle 6 million times...

Honestly, I don't know how I was married to him for as long as I was. And it wasn't the endless noise that finished the marriage, either!
