Are you a fast eater compared to your significant other?

I'm a very fast eater compared to my wife, which bothers her, especially when we go out to eat. I'm done eating in a few minutes, while she milks it out for what seems like hours, so, I just sit and watch her eat, which irritates her! She rarely eats all the food on her plate, so she will give me some, that way she doesn't feel rushed. lol How many of you eat extremely fast?

@akindheart Ha Ha.... people are actually disturbed by how fast I eat. I really do need to slow down, because I've noticed I'm starting to get heartburn after eating lol
akindheart · 61-69, F
@WizardofOz LOL. that will happen. plus you tend to eat more trying to stay busy while they eat

I used to eat much faster than my wife, when in the early years of my marriage. Yes she ate slow, but I was pigging down my food, so I began purposely slowing down so that I would not be done so soon. It helps the digestive process to eat slower..

Yes, I still eat faster than her, but I don't always finish first anymore.

@OverTheHill Yes, I just told someone else how I notice I'm developing stomach problems. I get frequent heartburn and at times feel "stuffed" after I eat! I have made a conscious effort to eat slow at times and noticed I did feel better but I always resort to my old habits.
I eat slower than most. Some people give me shizz about it, I could give aff. There's a lot more benefits for one's health eating slowly than fast, and I actually like to relax and enjoy a meal. It's not like some other predator is going to come in and steal my kill ffs.

Funny thing is, my daughter eats slower than me.

@BrewCityBarfly I know it's definitely healthier. I've been telling others that I can tell it's starting to affect my stomach. I get frequent heart burn and sometimes my stomach feels really tight and stuffed. For a while, I ate slow and drank some water while I ate and actually noticed that I felt better but I went back to eating like a pig.

@WizardofOz i am at home with my mother and if start before or after her i always seem too finish first not good really rushing my meal as i suffer from acid reflux and indigestion and wind need too slow down i think

@smiler2012 I'm starting to develop stomach problems. Heartburn and a tight feeling in my stomach. I think it actually makes me feel sick throughout the day, because if I make a conscious effort to eat slow, I actually feel better.

I'm a fast eater also I like my food quite hot. Hubby on the other hand likes food almost cold (🤮) so I'm finished far sooner. Sometimes I order an extra course for something to do while he finishes eating 😂🤣.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@Fluffybull If it's dinner, I'll have a few cocktails while waiting for her to finish but sometimes it's just too early to drink(a damn shame!), so she gives me some of her food.

I am way too slow.
My husband finishes his meal way too faster. But he refuses to leave the table until I am done with my food.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@Bleak That's how I am, so my wife will either give me what she knows she won't finish or I'll have a few drinks.
Bleak · 36-40, F
@WizardofOz My husband wont take anything from my plate because he wants to see me my good healthy weight. 😉
Blondily · F
I eat slower than the hub and usually give him some of my food too because as Im finishing he looks bored waiting for me. lol
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@Blondily Identical to my wife and I lol
meggie · F
He is like a vacuum cleaner and then eats my leftovers
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@meggie That's what I always do. If we go out to eat my wife will give me food off her plate, she never finishes everything anyway.
meggie · F
@WizardofOz same with us
JustNik · 51-55, F
No he’s always done long before I am. I’m not sure he actually chews.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@JustNik I have been asked if I chew lol or when I say how good everything was, everyone will ask me how I even know it was good, "you didn't even have time to taste it"!
Jonjdw · 51-55, M
I eat slow.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@Jonjdw I tried eating slow a few times and noticed I actually felt better. I notice I'm starting to develop stomach problems and I'm guessing it's from eating so fast.
Jonjdw · 51-55, M
@WizardofOz my sister eats faster than me. I think my wife is about the same as me. I know my sister always done fast.
I've been told I eat like a felon.
exexec · 61-69, C

I eat slowly, I like to enjoy my food.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@iamonfire696 It's a lot better for you too. I try to make an effort to eat slow but it's a tough habit to break!
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@WizardofOz yes it is better. Try to mindfully slow down, sip some water between bites. Try talking to your wife? Maybe that will help a little.
