Chews Loudly

My husband chews loudly. This has been something that I have only noticed since we were married, but, amazingly, never in the almost 15 years that he has been my best friend. His loud chewing makes no sense to me. He chews loudly when he's eating soup! A food where everything is mushy!

I've told him that he chews loudly, but of course, he has not tried to do anything about it. This is a silly and petty thing to even bring up to him and hope that he will change, but it drives me insane. When we are seated at our breakfast nook eating dinner, it is all I can do to keep my mouth shut about the volume of his chewing.

It's funny how marriage lowers our tolerance and yet makes us keenly observant.

Ah, wedded bliss.
