I can't eat a meal with my husband at home.

He practically squats in his chair, hunched over the food with his arms around it, and he chews so loudly, with mouth open, smacking his lips, it looks like a caricature of gross eating or like someone raised by wild animals. He also spears huge hunks of meat or other food on his fork and gnaws. When he eats any kind of pasta or noodles, he keeps a stream of them going in, with half of them being spit back into the bowl all at once, to eat them as fast as possible.

Hahahahahaha

I bet OP's spouse isn't shy about telling her to clean the dishes, put away her laundry, don't talk so loud in X location, etc. We'll call it "Chore-phonia" for DHs. How you confront the sloppy/rude eating will depend on your communication style & preferences. But, please do it!

Just talk to him about chewing food with his mouth shut and not eating like a horse.
Tell your children as well.
Basic stuff.

Luckily, he's not farty at all, but he does burp constantly. Glass half full . . . glass half full. . . .

You should feel comfortable enough in your marriage to let your husband know when he is doing something that displeases you.

If you cannot do this, then there are many more layers beneath his dining habits that need to be examined.

In a normal marriage, everything should be able to be brought to the table in search of a resolution.
Communication is a huge fundamental element.

Yeah f*** the lot of you complaining about jaw clicking. It hurts like hell and I guarantee it irritates me 1,000,000x more than anyone around me. TMJ is a medical condition.

I'm thinking music--flamenco, heavy on the castanets--would help at meal times.

There are bigger problems in your marriage if that is why you haven't told him. This is just a symptom of an underlying problem.

Eating with someone who is loud, slurps, grunts, inhales their food so loudly is not a fact of life. It’s gross. Manners please.

You have to tell him. This is just completely unacceptable. You can do it nicely. Now, if he takes it poorly, then that's a different problem. But you have to say something.
