Help please - noisy eating DH

There have been a few issues lately, which we are working on, but one thing I would very gladly never hear again is the sound of him eating. He is so noisy. He has a clicky jaw that clicks every time he chews, he eats with his mouth open which he says he can't help (he is a mouth breather rather than a nose breather) and obviously this makes it even louder and more disgusting sounding. And finally, he never pauses between mouthfuls, once one is in the next one goes in before he has swallowed.

If I am sitting next to him I either need to turn the tv on quite loudly, or put my finger in the ear that is closest to him. I have told him several times over the last few years to try and eat a bit more quietly but it doesn't really help and I feel awful saying it. I don't think I have misphonia as nothing else bothers me. What can be done?

Are we with the same man OP? 😉

I have all this and I cannot abide it.
In relation to both clicking jaw food chomping and clicky snore man I am ashamed to say I have been known to whip plates out from underneath him in an icy rage or dribble cold water in him from a height while asleep

Hangs head in shame knowing full well I will do it again at some point soon
