Wife won’t stop biting her fingernails

61% Normal
20 Comments

My wife constantly bites her fingernails, I think this is a vial disgusting habit. It makes her fingers look horrible and it’s disgusting to see her doing this, it’s also unhealthy. Is this normal behaviour and how can I get her to stop.

Is It Normal?

    You know what I think is a vile habit? Mispelling "vile".

    I do that when i'm nervous and stessed which is often. I know it's gross but I do that or bite my lips. I am a quite anxious person. That's why fidget spinners and other stim toys exist. Maybe she could try something like that.

    Perhaps you should let her bite your nails instead?

    Whose fingernails are they? LEAVE HER ALONE! If she wants to stop doing it she will when she's good and ready, it's none of your business unless you are 100% perfect and never do anything that annoys her.

    Maybe it's living with a control freak that makes her anxious and then bite her fingernails?

    I'm a picker. I pick the skin off my fingernails and toenails. That's worse than biting nails, which I also do. If she starts picking the skin off, than you've got a real problem.

    Try some bitter tasting nail polish. Maybe that'll help.

      Well it probably does build your immune system. The more you get used to bacteria the more your immune system can take. If you constantly go to great lengths to avoid them you get way more sick when actually exposed to them.

      Do you know what also builds up your immune system? Stabbing yourself with used syringes and rusty nails.

    Probably one of the most common nervous ticks/habits.

    Why are you being so harsh? She probably has something stressing her.
    Maybe she can try getting those fake nails or the hard nail polish so she can’t bite them

    Buy your dove a manicure and stop being an ass

      Tried the false nails I spent a fortune on having them done then infills every couple of weeks. She didn’t really like them but kept them while her own nails grew back underneath, then she had them taken off and says it had ruined them all underneath. Within a week she bit them all off again. Said I’d pay to have them done again but she refuses. She can’t just have a normal manicure she’s bit them all too short
