Boyfriends nailbiting

im in the same boat with my girlfriend. we been dating for a year and some change and found out recently that what she has is something called Dermatophagia. its classified as a OCD where the person harms their body image ( nails in this case) subconsciously (without knowing) its really been getting on my nerves cuz everytime we talk/watch a movie/ play gams she is chewing her skin away and it starts bleedling and her nails. she says she likes it when its a smooth surface and goes right past the pain. Its almost making me want to break up with her for this. so what im doing is telling her every time i see it that i slap her hands and i remind her every day when i see her doing it, that her hands are looking worse then the day before. i hope she can break this habbit or im leaving.

I'm really not trying to be an asshole here, but I honestly, really don't understand people in long term relationships, living together, who still get annoyed enough by their partners habbits that they feel the need to post about it on a site where people give advice/comments etc. I've been living with my boyfriend for a 11 months, almost our entire relationship and I don't even notice anything about him that could even slightly annoy me. I'm always just happy to be around him and talk with him etc. He bites his nails, and I don't particularly like the sound either, but it doesn't bother me to the point where I feel frustrated and annoyed at it. I've told him a few times the sound gives me the heebie geebies but its nothing serious enough to actually get upset over. Most of the time I don't notice him doing it. Nail biting is something a lot of people do, like smoking. Its a bad habbit, but not bad enough to really upset yourself over. A lot of people do it and I guess its normal. You live with him, been with him for long, why would small things upset you so much? Just be happy that he's with you and you guys love eachother.

I have the nail biting habit as well and it annoyin for me as well because it's a habit u know, i can't make myself undo it do easily. the only way is little punishments like a painful pinch everything he bites and just smile it off playfully like "dont do that in front of me :)" and as time goes by the habit with slowly cease. if u don't help him he won't be able I stop the habit on his own I wish some1 wud help sop my habit like that.

I'd be more concerned with living together outside of marriage than nail biting.

My boyfriend does this also. I should really give up on helping him to stop. But I think he has stopped a little bit. I just hate being touched when his nails are all jacked up. It's not comfortable to me at all. Idk and it's gross and junk.

My boyfriend HATES it when I bite my nails (I'm really bad like your boy) One day he kinda just snapped and told me my nails look so groos like i have gremlin hands. It really embarassed me, espec since i'm allready insecure about them when i go to work because all the girls have pretty manicures. (ive cut back but its really hard to quit) You can also try putting hot sauce on them so it burns his tongue when he bites them.

It's a nervous problem usually, you can try some products which you put your fingers into and if you go to bite your nail it will taste revolting.

I am a nail biter as well have been all my life its impossible to stop. I was always getting into trouble for having sharp bits while fingering my girlfriend

The guru of sause, you are an idiot. I have read more than one of your msgs and I can't believe how simple you are.

I bite my nails, but I wash my hands. It's pretty gross the who number two thing. Just don't kiss him till he stops.

I bet he never gets sick cos he would have a great ammune system

In faith of the age old solution to any relationship problem, Leave him. Followed by the predecessor of the age old solution, He's probably gay

I hate the sound my ex used to do it and I would slap him everytime it sounds horrible! Teach him a lesson don't kiss him till he stops!! Solves ir problem too
