Advice On Relationship
Reader’s Question:
My girlfriend makes funny sounds when she chews her food. It irritates me. What advice on relationship can you give me?
Relationship Advice:
That’s easy. Ask her to stop. Chewing does not have to be that exciting. I don’t like it. The food is already dead. Chewing food does not have to be an act of violence.
If her chewing irritates you, then you should tell her so. Ask her to stop making those funny noises. Tell her why it irritates you.
I don’t believe that this issue with the chewing is going to be an issue at all. In a relationship, there are little things we do that might irritate or get on the nerves of our partner, but being in a relationship means growing or changing with your partner. You can’t be with someone, spend a lot of time with that someone and not change her and be changed. Changing these small things is part of that process. Some would opt to live with the small things unchanged while some would decide to change them. Asking her to change her chewing habits should not be a big thing. It doesn’t have to be. There will certainly come a time when she would ask you to change some small quirks of yours. This happens to be your turn.
If something about her affects you, be it positive or negative, you should let her know. If you want something changed, talk to her. It may or may not be changed, but the important thing is that it was brought to your partner’s attention.
There are days when cranking out expert relationship advice is easy. Thank you for giving me one of those days.
