[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's probably not misophonia. Misophonia is incredibly rare and OP would be having this kind of reaction to other sounds, not just DH's eating. To me, this sounds like DH has terrible manners. My step-daughter eats like this and she's 11. Nothing I say to her about this sticks though... and her bio parents just shrug and say "that's how kids eat."  It drives me nuts. I literally have to hum to myself while we eat dinner together so that I don't hear her slurping and chewing.  Her 15 year old cousin stayed with us for a few days and burst out in the middle of dinner on the second night that she couldn't stand another second of the disgusting noises so I know it's just not me. At a meeting last week, I noticed the same thing with a new employee on my team. Afterwards, in the elevator, other people from the meeting were making fun of him for it. Seriously, I think this is a social problem. Lots of people are not being taught basic table manners. I'm not talking about which fork to use... I'm talking about chewing with your mouth closed and being aware of the sounds you can make while eating. [/quote]OP here... yes, I had a former boss (CEO) who had horrendous table manners - slurping her fingers after eating with her hands at business meals - THAT bad. It was embarrassing.[/quote]
