Probably OCD or maybe habits created by situations but this is the most I can guess. I used to bite my nails and then moved on to biting the skin around the nails but eventually I stopped and now I don't do it no more. The only thing I have is scalp picking and I hate it. I pick and pick scabs till I bleed. But the thing is that I get bullied a lot and even at home the people I live with treat me bad (But not my parents) so I feel like c**p. So that's why I'm saying that these habits couldve been caused by some past situations or something but idk. So i would recommend if you ask him if hes passed any bad times or something because it could be that, Cause of all the stress n stuff but yeah. Best of luck to you and I hope you can resolve this! :)

You will dump your husband because of a couple harmless habits? Maybe the problem lies in you and not him.

I eat my own scabs and hard boogers. I also like to squeeze my black heads and eat the little nut that comes out

I agree, nobody is perfect and honestly if this is the biggest problem in your relationship, then I think you need to re-evaluate what really matters here.

I lick my wifes ass during oral so scab eating n kissing ain't all that bad plus it feels incredibly stress relieving it works n is healthier than drugs.

Not nearly as gross and unhealthy as being around and/or kissing someone who smokes!

I eat scabs and boogers every chance I get. I even get excited for a big ol scab when I skin my knees up or a big ol dry winter booger.

I usually eat my boogers because I dont have a tissue around and its a good way to get rid of them instead of wiping them on the couch.

Something about when it sticks to the back of my teeth makes it irresistible!

Also the feeling of ripping an old crusty scab off is simply liberating. And then if it has a good crunchy texture, you'll be finding yourself picking up contact sports just so you can pick your wounds later!

I am almost 60 I have been doing it since high school. It got so bad in high school blood ran down my face, the scab was so big. I stopped for awhile now I’m back to it. It’s gross I know, I seem to be picking more than usual. Once it starts to heal I start picking and it’s painful and the process starts all over again. I put hydrogen peroxide on the scab. I can’t stop and now my 22 yr old daughter is constantly doing it where her lymp nodes were swollen and now my other two daughters are picking. It’s embarrassing, painful and humiliating. It’s almost self mutilation.
