My husband is an incredibly loud and fast eater. He chews with his mouth open, eats so fast he has to breath heavily through his nose, smacks his lips…I hear every single crunch or bite. Even soft foods like soup or pasta…its just so LOUD. I have seen our friends exchange looks - like he is the brunt of a joke and doesn’t realize it. Ive tried eating this way to see if he notices - (or if maybe food tastes better eating this way? It doesn’t)…and he does not even notice or realize it. It makes me want to rush through my meal so I don’t have to hear it - and sometimes I just lose my appetite. I haven’t mentioned it in the moment as we typically eat with our kids and I don’t want to embarrass him or shame him infront of them. Any advice on how to approach this with him without him getting defensive? submitted by /u/Impressive-Humor-589
