[quote=Anonymous]Throw in several other bodily functions and you've described my husband. I don't know - you can ask nicely over and over again but mine just gets really defensive no matter how I phrase and I get it - who wants their habits to be the subject of discussion at every meal? So I don't discuss it anymore. DH knows that I can handle only so much of the grossness before I need to go eat somewhere else. Some nights, he chooses his gross habits over my company. Other nights, he decides he'd like to enjoy a meal with his wife. I do my best not to engage though because it just never goes anywhere good - either I can stand to eat with his behavior of the hour or I can't. It's not up for discussion and I don't hold a grudge about it later. I don't leave in a huff. Every meal he gets a clean slate as far as I'm concerned and every night, I hope and plan to eat with him. If that doesn't work out, we try again the next day. [/quote]
