Is it normal that my boyfriend picks his nose and his dandruff every night?

Every night when we are in bed watching television (sometimes even when we are visiting my parents or sat at traffic lights too), he will pick and prod away at his nose, flicking whatever he gets onto the floor or even on the back of the bedroom door. He will then proceed to pick at his scalp (he has a very flaky scalp), then, this is the worst bit, he'll get a comb and stand over something dark (even on the bed sheet sometimes) - and comb out to see how much he managed to pick. It makes me feel sick! I could only choose one category to put this question under so I chose habits as opposed to hygiene, but sometimes he will go 8-10 days without a shower. IIN? I don't think it is but hey, some people have odd ways of living! After my last question about him you guys probably think I am going out with someone who has serious issues. But he really is a nice guy. I just wonder why he does the things that he does.

    It's probably not a conscious thing, kind of like how sometimes I catch myself picking food out of my teeth with my fingernails.

    I would recommend that if you are so disgusted, you should put a box of tissues on his side of the bed and a wastebasket and ask him to rub his boogies on the tissues and put them into the wastebasket and get him some dandruff shampoo, like Selson Blue for Dry Scalp, it helped my husband out a lot.

    You'll never keep him from doing gross things but the least he can do is have some courtesy about it.

    Picking his nose (not too gross) scratching his scalp (kinda gross) not showering for 8-10 days (UNFORGIVABLE). I'm sure he's a nice guy despite his hygiene. Why don't you jump in the shower and ask him to join you. I'm sure he won't say no.

    Be glad he doesn't wipe his boogers on the sheets. He's actually being thoughtful

    He sounds like a Neanderthal I would choose wisely. He sounds like the type that is lazy and uncooperative. It's not normal by my definition and grossly unhygienic but to each his own, If you like that grotesque type then go nuts
