[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married a long time and spouse still constantly chews with mouth open, shoves enormous amounts of  food in his mouth and talks with his mouth full. When we are out to dinner or at a friends house he uses good manners.  Waits until he has finished chewing to answer a question, takes a reasonably size bite.  At home though, he is really gross.

[b]He knows it bothers me and does not really care. He makes silly oopsI forgot faces, and en continues to eat like a slob[/b].

I obviously have been unsuccessful in persuading him to adopt the manners I prefer.
All thoughts welcome.

Maybe it  is my pet peeve and I need to just remove myself from the situation.  [/quote]

There is your answer right there.  You can expect whatever you want, but he will not give you what you want.

Was your DH like this before you married?

My DH has horrible table manners too.  His whole family does.

DH's manners are bad at home and elsewhere and are the reason I do not take him to work-related spouses-included events.  Sad but true.
