AIBU in increasingly hating the sound of dmDH chewing?

[lurchermummy]

Increasingly I hate the sound of DH chewing - it makes me want to physically scream and I have to leave the table before he's finished which he says is rude. He's a slow eater and I'm fast so that doesn't help! He also doesn't like to chat at meals, he's very eyes down! I think it's getting worse with age - he's 60. What can I do?! I may have to kill him.

i feel you I have to put the tv on!

Feel free.

I have to leave the room now when DH takes his morning tablets with a slurp of his coffee. All ducking 8 of them. With a little throw back of his head as well.

gggggrrrrrr

Catsdrool TV dinners only on Saturdays in our house!! Maybe music would help though...

I have misophonia and noisy eating is my primary trigger.YANBU

my very posh elderly mother in law who thinks I have no decorum eats like a dog and it gives me the rage. She spits food across the table and speaks with her mouth full. It’s vulgar.

can you not just ask him to keep his mouth closed when he eats, there are fewer noises, although my partner sounds like his mouth is a saliva producing washing machine when he eats.

would earplugs help?

I get a completly irrational rage building up inside me at the sound of people eating.

The clicking jaw, the swalling sound, I know it's totally unreasonable and I absolutely make the same sounds but it drives me crazy.

Usually tell Alexa to turn the volume up, don't think anyone at the table has worked out why yet.

He doesn't chew with his mouth open it's just the chewing. Might have to look at earplugs. I don't think I have misophonia, this is the only noise that bothers me.

My DH is the main source of misophonia rage. His chewing is so loud it makes me want to scream, punch him and vomit. If he's eating cereal I leave the room- he slurps every spoonful 🤢
And that's before he starts breathing or coughing.

While I was pregnant it was so bad I refused to be in a room he was eating in. Maybe not a long term option for you, but music/tv/some background noise can help.

Breathing
chewing
blowing His nose

honestly, I don’t know how much more I can take
