DH is eating cereal and I want to kill him

[annonymousse]

Obviously this is lighthearted but jeez the crunching and slurping is unreal.

Do you have a patio that needs relaying?

How do you eat cereal, then - place a cornflake upon your tongue and wait for saliva to dissolve it?

It’s always the bloody slurping!! WHYYYY

This could be an extra verse in Taylor swifts fortnight

I feel your pain,I could write a book about this.

Why do they need to put so much milk on it? That is the issue with the slurping here. Don’t mind the crunching.

You have my sympathy.

Just leave the room until he's finished. If he notices & asks why, tell him matter of factly that the slurping and crunching noises he makes put you off/make you feel nauseous and you don't want to listen to it.

Misophonia?

Without slurping and chewing so loudly. It’s very possible you know!

I can't stand when they hit the sides of the bowl with the spoon eleventy million times. Clang, clang, clangety clang. Rage inducing🤬

Mine has a clicking jaw as well. I either leave the room or sit with my fingers in my ears.

Couldn't agree more!

If DH is eating, I can only be in the same room as him if I'm also eating. Otherwise I'm out of there, or if he walks in to a room I'm in, chomping, slurping and crunching something, I send him on his way. I can't stand the smell either, particularly if someone is eating peanuts - it just knocks me sick. No allergies, and I like peanuts myself, just not someone eating them near me. I'm getting so intolerant in my old age.

Crunching may be able to be reduced by a different cereal. Slurping even more unacceptable than liking Coldplay.

Absolutely!

And when they bang their teeth with the spoon & you get that dull thud followed by the crunching 🙄

I almost murdered four men on a train yesterday for similar, you have my sympathies

Blokes sat behind me munching crisps so loudly I couldn’t think and it made me wince, and then the bloke opposite me started slurping a coffee and snacking his lips - I’d forgotten my earphones so couldn’t block it out, I won’t make that mistake again.

It’s the scraping I can’t stand, there’s no fucking yoghurt/milk left, stop scrapping the sides away like you’re going to find some, ugh.

Loop earplugs, OP. They have saved DH's life and my sanity.

It's the only way I can be in the room when he's eating/slurping and belching (hiatus hernia that he doesn't take the right dose of meds for).

😂😂😂

Agreed, the only reason my husband (and several of my colleagues) are still alive is because I keep a collection of loop earplugs

Do it. There's not a jury in the land that would convict you

I'm sure everyone has sounds they don't like but let's not jump on the Misophonia bandwagon.

I've found my people ❤️

This is something that's become literally unbearable since perimenopause. Crashing waves of disgust and fury at the sound of slurping, munching, clicking jaws, snapping teeth. And weirdly it seems to be only a male thing. DH, DS, and DD's boyfriend.

It’s a common gripe @WaitingForMojo . I don’t think it needs a diagnosis.
