To hate the groans and moans

[Disagreeable]

Dh is 45. I'm 37. Dh in the last 18 months is just endless noise. I'm lying in bed right now as he's just groaning to himself. Guttural groans. His sneezes are so loud they make my toddler cry or me jump out of my skin. After dinner he lies on the sofa and then sits up and let's out a series of burps, groans and clearing of his throat for what feels like a good minute or two. He eats so quickly he hiccups during the meal so loudly but keeps eating regardless

This is combined with him never leaving the house and talking to me about prices in Tesco and whether the tyres in the car are safe (he checks them before we drive anywhere), I feel like I'm living with an elderly man. Maybe that's rude about elderly men.

I think I have the ick. I mean the word ick gives me the ick.

I have asked him to stop burping at least and he said he'd stop in frotn of the kids but he hasn't. He said I'm uptight but the constant noises is really extreme. In writing this post he has grooooooannnned about 4 times.

(Yesterday evening he had some snot hanging from his nose and honestly I felt sick).

Yep it’s the wolfing, husband does this sometimes as a result of being in the police where you dont know if you will have time to finish your food so you inhale it just in case.

He sounds gross and highly annoying. But I am willing to bet he is exactly the same person he has always been, it is just that you have gone off him.

I've seen this many times - a woman married or lives with a man who has some behaviours that make you think "Well, better you than me...!" and then sooner or later she starts to see it as the rose tinted lenses fade. He is who he is, and he will never be any different.

I feel you.
mine now makes mouth, moist, noises when he eats.
I can’t work out if peri is making me less tolerant

@BigPorker 🤣🤣

I have one of these too. Was never like it until he hit mid 40s. As he edges nearer to 50 it seems a constant onslaught of sneezes that could wake the dead, horrible nose noses, clearing throat and snoring. Even poos loudly. And yes I have the ick. Thankfully no burps but his breathing is so loud that no jury in the land would convict me if I snapped.

Jesus. My dad is nearly 70 and thank god doesn’t make these revolting noises. The worst it gets is trying to cut through his plate at dinner and making horrendous high pitched scraping noises. I will be fuming if DH starts this shit in the op!

I would be having a chat with him, explain how bad he is compared to other people and for his own well being (never mind yours!) you'd like to get checked over by the GP. Really loud sneezing could be allergic rhinitis, but gutteral sounds in the throat and having to lean forward to burp could be a digestive problem - on top of which he says he's tired. Obviously if something is picked up, you know there's a genuine reason for some of his actions. If nothing is picked up, he's a miserable/rude s.d.

How does someone poo loudly?

I've got the ick on your behalf, @Disagreeable . I don't even know the guy and I want to dump him.

🤣
I have a noisy, restless sleeper. What with my peri rage he's lucky to see morning most days

So much for in sickness and in health. What a load of wimps you all are. "Leave him!" "Divorce him!"

Man up, ladies!

I'm 45 and I moan and groan a lot😒

We call them "dad noises"

Jeez, I call them bloody revolting.
Dh at 62 and dad at 82 do not make noises like this.
They manage to eat nicely and don't clear their throat out in front of other people. They are not savages.

If op's dh has any health issues making him behave this way he needs a doctor. If no issues he is disgusting.

45? Wow. He's an early starter. Unfortunately unless he makes some serious life changes, this is him now. He needs to clean up his diet, get into an excercise regime, visit his GP to check out the aches and pains that make him groan and check for any digestive issues. If he was prepared to commit to looking after his health he'd probably feel better all round and less inclined to be grumpy and obsessed with minutiae. You may be able to persuade him. Good luck.

See I don’t mind the ‘ooof’ ‘ooooh’ ‘sharp intakes of breath’ upon movement too much… or the occasional fart/burp.. but there comes a point where excessive outputs of gas from either end become particularly unattractive! My exbf (as of yesterday) sealed his fate when he bought new ‘slippers’ - sliders! Add to this about 5 mins of nose blowing at high volume everyone morning, the slow bimble, excessive lateness to everything with no good excuse other than fannying around and getting distracted on his phone, excessive time spent on the toilet waiting for an elusive number 2, (once he took his cup of tea in with him, errrrrrr no waaayyy 🤮🤮). Total ICK (plus other issues obvs) and all attraction had gone, the same way he has!

My DH makes a lot of loud noises for seemingly no reason. Not just the scream sneezes and shout coughs or movement farts. He groans upon waking for about an hour. Or because he is getting up, or down, or really just the effort of staying alive? Sigh breathing and moan moving. Our puppy jumps on his face every time these days so I think he's starting to realise how ridiculously loud he really is.

This!

I'd be leaving if he's not trying to change his ways for the better.

He sounds ill mannered, disrespectful and far too ‘comfortable’ to the point he doesn’t give a shit. He thinks he’s there for life and can do what he likes.
I can’t believe the posters suggesting it’s OP’s responsibility to get him to see a dr, she’s not his mum and he’s not a toddler. He may not be ill at all.

Google ‘family guy dad noises’

What is it with men and long loo visits? You either need to go or you don’t. Personally I can’t wait to get out of there.

No, I'm just asking you to stop your double standards in expecting only women to be paragons of perfect virtue, ignoring misogyny ("if men said this", as if they don't) and recognising that there's far more misogyny online than women complaining about older men. So if you have to fight for truth and honour, go where it's needed far more.

I don’t think anyone says it’s her responsibility ( although ringing the surgery would be less effort expended on the problem than posting on here).

She can tell him to sort the appointment. People are just saying that she may be overlooking something more serious here.

Who are these posters in their forties who are empathising with the groaning and sighing? You’re far too young to be accepting this as normal. Get yourselves down to the gym and start working out. If you’re in such poor shape now it’s only going to get worse. Ridiculous.

Fucking hell OP, this is eye opening. My DH is only 37 (I'm 31) but sits there endlessly burping, farting, throat clearing, whistling, and moaning about doors being left open. I hate it. I find the noise attention seeking and inconsiderate, he finds me complaining about it upright. I would never have married him if he had been like this at 25.

Isn't it just! Same when animals are eating.
