They’re all older guys, so I suppose it can’t be helped, but it grosses me out when, after eating at a café, there are food scraps stuck to the straws they’ve put in their mouths or inside their cups, making everything sludgy.

Question

I try not to look, but it’s so noticeable that I can’t help seeing it. They drink before they’ve finished all the food in their mouths and without wiping their mouths, so food ends up in the glass and the rim gets all sticky and gross. It’s like something out of a horror movie. Their mouths are sticky too. Does this happen as people get older? I’m hoping for a long-term relationship, but am I being narrow-minded for feeling put off by things like that?

Answer 1

I’ve never met anyone like that. I was a little surprised. By any chance, was that gentleman trembling in his hands and legs and using a cane? I hope you get another good offer soon.

Answer 2

Manners at the table are important. If it’s things like chewing loudly or resting his elbows on the table, he might be able to fix them, but in this case, it may be difficult. If it bothers you, you could gently bring it up—or end things. It’s a difficult decision, but I think it depends on the relationship between you and the man, as well as your personalities. Why not think about those factors? Akari

Answer 3

I’ve never met anyone like that, but just imagining it makes me feel uncomfortable. I don’t think you’re being narrow-minded. If something doesn’t work for you, it doesn’t work… Maybe I’m the narrow-minded one for thinking you should stop putting up with it, say goodbye, and look for someone else.
