He's here now eating crisps. Anyone would think he's chewing through a fking concrete wall! And yyu should here the fucking racket when he's eating lettuce! I don't know who taught him to chew like that but OmFGOD I HATE IT!! . It makes me want to smash my face into a wall!
Swallowing noises too.

Anyone else hate the sound of their partner eating/swallowing?

On Jermey Vine this morning, some "professor" came up with 'evidence" that we should be eating with our mouths open and slurping drinks, it's horrid. My mum does this thing where (even though her mouths shut) she makes a weird grinding noise while breathing through her nose and I honestly can't take it, she tries not too, but once she's done it, the glass is broken and then that's all I can hear!!!!!

It's called misophonia and it sucks! I have it with some family members. It's difficult.

Cantchooseaname · 22/07/2022 21:33

Misophonia.
my husband has it.
we don’t have crisps.

Comedycook · 22/07/2022 21:33

Yes! I have to leave the room when he's eating sometimes

Pegasushaswings · 22/07/2022 21:33

Misophonia! I can’t bear the sound of anyone eating, when my husband eats chicken he sounds like it’s sticking to his teeth, drives me mad!

MrsGarveyTheSecond · 22/07/2022 21:33

The sound of my husband breathing makes me feel the same way to be honest

girlfriend44 · 22/07/2022 21:33

You'd soon be moaning if he wasn't here. Then you'd wish he'd come back and the noise of eating wouldn't be a problem.

Pegasushaswings · 22/07/2022 21:34

I hate the sound of him eating cereal too, the noise of the tap tap tap of the spoon in the bowl enrages me!

Isaidagiantclock · 22/07/2022 21:35

Yes! The sound of him chewing, snoring, heavy breathing, the noises he makes when he sits down and gets up again..

It wasn’t always all of these things but over time they snowballed. We are now separated.

Mumdiva99 · 22/07/2022 21:36

The sound of my husband chewing makes me want to do him some damage.....

I read something recently that said 'a lot of marriage is just listening to someone else eat' and I thought that was so right 😁

I am not in any way a violent person but the sound of certain people eating makes me fantasise violent endings for them.

Strangely it didn’t bother me at all with my kids until they hit the teenage years.

RicherThanYew · 22/07/2022 21:42

My son gulping, my husband crunching cereal and my boss eating/drinking/breathing. Especially my boss because he makes sex sounds when he's eating something as basic as fucking chips.

AuditAngel · 22/07/2022 21:43

The sound of my husband eating makes me want to kill him, not myself! He eats with his mouth open, moving the food around for his full pleasure, smacking hi# lips while I imagine smacking him around the face. Mine was not this bad when I married him

Allicando · 22/07/2022 21:44

I sometimes wish there was a like button on Mumsnet.

YANBU this is why I'm single Grin

heidihigh · 22/07/2022 21:45

I could have written this Blush it's awful, a really bad feeling of rage and it's almost as if fight or flight kicks in and I just have to get myself out of the situation... I leave the room if crisps are involves

Badger1970 · 22/07/2022 21:45

DH and I work together. When he eats his lunch at work, I have to put silicone earplugs in.

I've got the fecking things everywhere so that I can put them in as soon as he starts eating.

This way, he's not under the patio.

dreammattemousse · 22/07/2022 21:45

I don't think she will would Grin

The sound of my husband eating a soft boiled egg...
It's impossible to describe with mere words the rage in induces in me.
He eats it immediately after its cooked, it's always too hot which leads to slurping.
Even with the most polite silent eater eggs are disgusting but the sounds are another level of torture.

stupidly · 22/07/2022 21:47

When my dad eats I leave the room. Has caused problems my whole life but the sound makes me want to be sick and rip my ears off

meganorks · 22/07/2022 21:50

Only when he chews soup! It's liquid! Why can I hear your fucking teeth chomping?! What is there to chomp on?!

Meraas · 22/07/2022 21:50

Tell him he needs to chew with his mouth closed. Let him know it is super annoying and makes you lose your appetite. And if he still continues, there’s always divorce. :)
