in absolutely loathing a horrible eating habit my DH has and demanding he stops?

[fallingdown]

I've tried over and over again to hint that he stops........it drives me fucking mental and I hate eating with him when he does it. He didn't do it when we met....took a while before he does it to this extent but ow does it every dinner time.

I've even been sneaky in trying to get himto stop it but he always finds a way. AIBU to demand he no longer does it in my presence?

What does he do?

What is it?????????????????!!!

what what what does he do??

no point asking if we dont know what the problem is!!!!!

we're waaaaaiting

Eating habits are the on thing of DP's that really annoy me.
He eats way too fast, scrapes his fork on his teeth, has his knife and fork in the wrong hand and basically eats like a sloth.
YANBU at all, and I don't even know what the problem is!

we don't know unless you tell us

she' has obviously gone and thwacked him over the head with a saucepan and solved the problem herself!!

If you tells us what it is then we can say YABU/YANBU

soak gravy up with slice of bread, make terrible slurpy noises when he eats my dp eats and grunts i feel myself boiling up and politly tell him that it is bugging me what does your dp do?

thats not grunts as in fart just weird noises when he opens mouth to devour food bit piggy sounding

i annoy myself when i eat as I have a clicky jaw.

Dh, on the other hand, is fine!

I like to soak gravy up with bread.
My Dad used to get my mum to bake him bread, so it was the size of a dinner plate, and he'd eat his dinner off it then eat the bread last.
Apparently.

Men are not good at sneaky - why not be upfront with him about it??

My experience is that if it isn't unhygienic and he does it front of his mum you have little chance of changing it

no matter what meal we are having he has several slices of bread and butter with it. I may just be able to cope with that but he starts putting his meal into the bread and eating it as a sandwich FFS............hate it hate it hate it.

Spaghetti Bolognaise, Cottage Pie, Jacket Potato, Sunday Roast, Curry.........all into the bread . He wouldn't dream of doing it when out and about and he looks at me like I'm the loon when I make a comment.

ooh.... i dont think you abu!! i dont mind things made into a snadwich sometimes, fish and chips + chip butties, Sausage and mash + sausage butty.... but spag bol? roast? JACKET POTATO?...... no way!!!!

ahh nag pie - I totally blame his mother. The only other house he does it in to my knowledge.

I hid the bread one time and said we had none and he defrosted a couple of DD's rolls I keep in freezer for her lunchbox.

Honestly, cannot bear it any longer....makes my teeth itch.

Keep all the bread in the freezer? Stop buying it? Give him bread rolls with meals instead? Refuse to eat with him / cook for him any more? Stab him with the butter knife?

buy things like pitta breads, and wraps instead of bread....???

Just give him sandwiches for every meal.

tonight I gave him bread and butter only. Then I felt a but guilty as he was genuinely perplexed by it.

I can go so far as doing him chips to go with his lasagne (whats that all about???)...but now the bread and butter is creeping in I realise that I cannot spend the next 50 years watching him do that.

not to mention the price of a loaf anyway.
