Husband gobbling, driving me nuts

[Craftsandgardens]

We are in a double bed, in a hotel. At home we have separate rooms. He has found the remains of the sandwich we bought for lunch and he is gobbling it, right next to me, and driving me insane. I can't stand the sound of anyone eating next to me. If he does it at home I put headphones on but I didn't pack any today.
Not asking for advice, just needed to rant.

You need to practice your death stare op.

Go to the bathroom or the bar then. He’s allowed to eat.

Presuming here you are able bodied and can move yourself away from the bed- do that.

This. Go somewhere else.

I would have to go sit on the toilet with the tap going.

Move away then? He's allowed to eat op.

What's wrong with eating? I don't understand!

Misophonia??

Unless he's eating in a particularly disgusting way, he's not the one with the problem. He's doing something that's both totally normal and also essential (albeit perhaps not at this precise moment). You're the one who can't stand someone carrying out a normal activity and you omitted to bring your headphones. This one's on you, I'm afraid.

You sound like you don't really like him very much

Your DH is eating a sandwich in bed
In what way is he "gobbling" it? It's you who is unusual here.

WTF?

Does he know you have misophonia? If he doesn't know that, you should tell him! And bring ear plugs.

How long can it take to eat less than a whole sandwich

How is he "gobbling"? Strange word.

That’s what I thought . And you have separate bedrooms at home.
Why is that? Does he eat in bed at home too?

I'd suggest he should be the one to go and eat at a table or at least not in the bed !

Op, you should know that any 'lighthearted' thread gets torn to shreds on here. 😂🤨 Got to love Mumsnet. Has no one ever been irritated by the sound of someone eating loudly? Are people really that confused and perplexed by that??

No one's confused.

What kind of sandwich though?

I haven't got my glasses and thought your husband was gobbing.

Now I know he is eating (and not attempting an adventurous sex act - my second initial thought) I think it's probably going to be ok.

I'd have been more annoyed that he wasn't offering me a bite.

I'm always amazed at the rage that a remarkably large proportion of MNers have for their husbands eating. It is interesting that it is always the husband, not anyone else. Am I the only one that thinks this is totally irrational and disproportionate behaviour?

When a boyfriend asked me for 'a gobble' I deliberately misunderstood him and got last night's half eaten doner kebab and ate it noisily. How I laughed!

Are you in a hotel in Turkey, is that why you says he’s gobbling?

I will get my coat…..

Two tourists in Ireland go past a field and see a huge mushroom, and on top of it, a little fellow in a fairy tale costume sitting, his head hunched right down. They go up to him. "Are you a goblin?" asks one. "No", he replies, "I'm a-tinkin'".
