Woman desires to dump ‘good’ boyfriend over ‘vile’ dinner behavior – others agree
We all have our quirks that can drive our other halves up the wall, but this bloke’s habits are enough to make your stomach churn.
Everyone’s got their own little annoying habits that can get on their partner’s nerves. Maybe you’re guilty of leaving the loo seat up or forgetting to flick off the lights when you nip out.
Usually, these little quirks are just part of the package and our partners put up with them because they adore us but one lass has confessed she’s struggling to see a future with her fella because of his disgusting dinner antics.
This woman has been seeing her man for a mere three months and reckons they’ve got what it takes for the “long-term relationship” game if only he didn’t have such revolting table manners. His eating habits are so grim they make her gut wrench, and she’s at her wit’s end watching him munch.

Taking to Mumsnet, the distressed girlfriend spilled the beans: “My boyfriend of just over three months has shocking table manners. Lip smacking, eating with his mouth open, licking his knife, licking fingers (this is the worse one as it’s often and noisily and doesn’t use a napkin), licks the plate at the end of his meal … you get my drift.”.
“In most other aspects I think we have the foundations for a long-term relationship, however, when I see him eating I want to dump him! “.
She further mentioned that she has “hinted” to her boyfriend about his inappropriate behaviour, but he seems oblivious and continues with his poor table manners. The woman is now contemplating giving her boyfriend “an ultimatum” – either he improves his eating habits, or she ends the relationship.
The post attracted a lot of horrified comments, with many expressing they could never tolerate a partner with such appalling table manners. One commenter wrote: “I couldn’t continue to go out with someone with such bad table manners, it’ll only get worse the longer you carry on.”
Another shared: “I left a really nice boyfriend because he talked with his mouth full. I told him to stop. He didn’t. Be honest and open and tell him it’s turning you off.”
A third added: “That’s made me feel queasy just thinking about it! My four-year-old niece has much better table manners than him. He must realise others don’t behave that way and it’s rude but he doesn’t care. Throw this one back.”
The woman later updated the post, stating that his table manners weren’t this atrocious when they first started dating, leading her to believe he may be showing a “lack of respect” toward her.
She concluded: “His table manners have worsened since our first few dates, so he can rein it in. It shows a lack of respect for me that he thinks it’s acceptable to eat like a pig in my company (at home and eating out). I will give him an ultimatum and if he doesn’t change f***ing fast, he’s f***ing done.”
