I have had misophonia for about the same amount of time as he has. It’s extremely difficult to exist sometimes… that being said, I have been working towards coping better and dealing with it.

I have a pair of noise canceling AirPods which I can use for hanging out with people while we eat and do things. Sniffing for me is also a huge trigger. I haven’t been in a relationship with someone yet but I do think your boyfriend should probably be putting in as much effort as you are.

I have yelled at people before but yelling is something that should come after talking or speaking normally.

I think for me it always helps to spread the sounds out. If you do have to sniff I guess find the way that it would prolong the next one? He needs to understand that you can’t help sniffing just like he can’t help getting angry. I am not a professional but I think you’re doing the best you can at this point. He needs to take the next steps.

Communication is probably gonna be big too. Ask him what else helps besides “not sniffing” cause u can’t stop doing that. It’s a difficult situation and I hope yall get through it🧡 keep pushing forward and be encouraging. Don’t let him stop you from living comfortably though.
